Mouse Suggestions (lemmy.one)

Hello all! I am looking for suggestions for a new mouse since what I have now is very old and the usb cable is falling apart, messing with the connection and also the mouse3 button is broken. I want it to be durable and at a budget of 20-35€. Do you have any suggestions?

I suggest these little guys:

Basically any Logitech should do fine.
The more it costs, the more durable they tend to be, tho not always true.

I had back luck with G305 (wireless), which was highly recommended online. My wife went through two in like a year or two. I switched her to a Razer DeathAdder v2 Mini (wired) and it has been good for the last year and a half.

I'm personally using a Microsoft Intellimouse Pro (wired), which has been solid for a few years now.

Which grip are you?

[–] wallmenis@lemmy.one 4 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Something between claw and palm.

~~Same. I have medium-large hands and I'm a big g600 simp~~ ~~Edit: if you're thinking about something wireless, the mxmaster mice are super comfy.~~

I want it to be durable and at a budget of 20-35€

Nevermind. Good luck!

I can recommend Logitech G102/203. It's smaller in size, so it's comfortable mostly for claw or fingertip grip users.

It's also supported by libratbag / Piper 🥰

I have a Logitech G604 and it works flawlessly with piper to setup the extra buttons.

This is my favorite mouse.

You get what you pay for (if you do your research, like you are). Personally I'm willing to spend a bit more on peripherals, I spend a looot of time driving a mouse. I'll second the logitech recommendations and point out my 4 yr old MX Master 2 is still getting weeks on a charge, beat to hell, but still fully functional and better at gaming than any gaming mouse I ever had (looking at you razor, but if I look at you you'll die, like you did). If you do go logi, check out logiops, realy useful.

I would avoid Razer mice, I got two Mamba Elites and both of their mouse wheels are broken/bugged (if you scroll in one direction it scrolls back and forth, or scrolls twice when you want to scroll once). My sister got a Deathadder Elite and its mouse wheel is completely broken.

I picked up an Anker vertical mouse for like $12 from a used PC parts store and it's been working just as well in my opinion, pretty comfortable and still has a working scroll wheel.

Of course you could also buy a drawing tablet and set it to mouse/relative mode and play with that, which I did for a while, but the lack of a scroll wheel stops you from playing some games.

I have a Corsair and it doesn't always play nice with my AliExpress kvm. Works fine after a re-plug.
