Does it lag a bit when you move around ? I have a much smaller cheap usb microsoft and if i move it, it does lag a bit and working distance is a bit shit... Yours seems much better for that purpose.

No lagging but you need good lighting

I have a question for you master watchmaker: I break a lot of screwdriver blades, especially the finest ones of my Bergeon set (0.8mm and 1.00mm). Usually I buy the standard flat stainless steel ones, but I see that the best blades seem to be the parallel flank or "T" shape ones: https://www.esslinger.com/bergeon-7895-screwdriver-t-blade-hardened-stainless-steel/. Are you using these and are they worth the extra money?

Thanks!

Hey, im definitely not a master watchmaker haha,

The T ones are definitely way harder but also got finer tip. You have to understand how to use screwdrivers properly.

I suggest this video:

And if you don't want to invest in the sharpening tool (320$) that can sharpener t blades stay with the regular ones and regular sharpener. Because it's way cheaper.

From what I read around, Bergeon is using a harder steel which make it more prone to breakage. Horotec blades are better and I own a set, really worth the money.
