Normally I’d go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn’t going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one’s started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn’t a dealbreaker. I don’t mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

    I’m a big fan of trackball mouse because it’s easier on my wrist and have been using the wireless mx ergo for 3 years now without issues.

    I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but I have excellent recommendations for people with RSI and / or Carpal Tunnel.

    For a while, I daily-drove a Logitech MX vertical mouse and that was wonderful. It’s responsive, comfortable and really accurate, and helped my RSI in my mouse hand.

    Eventually, the RSI started hurting my other wrist (my job has a really sucky keyboard) so I moved on to the Kensington Slimblade trackball mouse. That mouse is KILLER for reducing and / or eliminating RSI. It’s perfect for me, because I was able to switch my main mouse hand with little issue and I’ve been switching them up occasionally ever since depending on which wrist hurts worse. It’s not a forever solution, but it’s an excellent temporary one. I really can’t say enough good about the Kensington (that being said, you aren’t gonna be able to game on it hahaha)

    ASUS ROG Harpe Ace. Lightweight, builtin battery, parts that can be swapped, great build quality, 2,4 ghz, BT 5.1 and wired. My son had Logitech, Corsair and Razer gaming mice and after some time had problems with double clicking or scroll wheel.

    He is very content with the Asus. Only gripe is the software, but once set up, you can remove ut.

    I’ve been using a Logitech G Pro Wireless for years now and I love it. Zero issues, lightweight, wireless, battery lasts forever and worst case it just becomes a wired mouse for again for a little bit.

    Bro do not get a Razer mouse, I have two Mamba Elites and both their scroll wheels keep jumping up and down when you scroll. My sister’s Deathadder Elite’s scroll wheel is completely broken and doesn’t work.

    Logitech G604 is my current mouse and it seems to have broken the trend of every-single-past-Logitech-mouse-I’ve-owned developing double clicks in a year or two. It’s been at least three years now without issue. A single AA lasts a disturbingly long time with daily use.

    The Logitech G502 is the best mouse I’ve ever owned, both for gaming and work. Comfortable, plenty of buttons, trivial to disassemble for cleaning with a PH0 screwdriver and a prying tool, and even the Windows software is bearable (you can use Piper on Linux with 99% of the functionality). I have the wired Hero version, but I’ve heard good things about the wireless Lightspeed too. (I’ve just checked - the battery is internal lithium, and it supports PowerPlay wireless charging)

    The only issue I’ve had is heavy corrosion on the metal scroll wheel, but you can swap it for an aftermarket plastic wheel. I’ve used one heavily for ~5 years and it only recently started showing wear in the thumb micro-switches. Great value for a reasonable price, and my #1 recommendation.

    If you want to treat yo’self, consider the Logitech MX Master 3S. Very pricey, but a great work mouse. Wireless, can use the included USB dongle or bluetooth. The battery is built-in. I charged it once when I bought it about two weeks ago and it’s still at ~60% charge.

      I have to disagree with the G502. I have the Lightspeed and had a serious double clicking issue within a year. I use an MX master at work and bought another for home and am very happy with that.

    I recently switched to an aerox 5 by steel series. Beside the obvious no support for Linux it’s nice. I use it as my work mouse via bt as well and that works stellar.

      Sorry to necro the thread but I ended up getting one of these and it’s great so thanks for the recommendation. Recently switched to Linux and found Rivalcfg supports aerox 5. Terminal only, but worth checking out if you’re still searching.
