i have a Logitech G703, i got it second hand, its light, has wireless charging and has top performance, i don’t think i will ever buy a wired mouse again because it really has set the benchmark for me,
I have a Corsair Glaive in Aluminum, which I have been very happy with. The only problem I have with it is that occasionally on boot up, the mouse isn’t found, forcing a restart. While fairly pricey, they can often be found on Ebay as manufacturer refurbished with a 1 year guarantee from Corsair for pretty reasonably prices (about $35).
the logitech mouse is one of the best right now, and they have a wide range of selection, the most budget one is G102, and nothing beat it at its price
if you have more budget, G403 is another good choice, it also has wireless version
@raccoon city, I would heartily recommend the G403. It is an extremely good mouse. I’ve tested it, and it’s excellent. Input lag is non-existent, it’s quite light, the sensor is very accurate and precise.
I personally use the G502 because it is heavier, which I like, has adjustable weights, etc. Has the same sensor and setup, but a different grip.
Most people will prefer the G403 because of its low mass and claw grip:
I’ve no idea about gaming, I just need two buttons and a scroll-wheel (with clicky). And Bluetooth. (Maybe not what you want for gaming).
Mine get a hammering, probably for 12 hours or more per day. And the left button of course fails first. Perhaps I should swap the buttons around every month (I am ambidextrous, so no problem, maybe better for avoiding RSI)
HP, Logitech, and of course Microsoft are quality. 2 or 3 years each.
I’ve bought several other no-name ones for a fraction of the price, and they have been, consistently, rubbish. And somehow, horrid to feel. Ergonomics is probably the most important part of designing a mouse (as well as making the mechanism durable), but not many manufacturers understand this, never mind employ people to study, research, and advance this.
Of course, the knockoff companies are quick to knock-off whatever becomes popular. As with keyboards.
However, in the case of keyboards, there are only a few, very few, companies who make great tactile mechanical switches.
I suspect 99.9% of the world thinks that mushy unreliable membrane keyboards are just how it is, and know no better.
