mouse recommendations. Anybody impressed with theyre current/past mice?

[jboydgolfer]

Im currently Happily using a Logitech G502 spectrum, and from experiecence, i can tell it is beginning to wear, nothing broken, but im a bigger guy, and My hands tend to rest on a mouse, and after a certain period of time, the Switches, or the springs that provide resistance, begin to lose theyre "umph" and a tell tale sign of this aging, is when my fingers will begin to click the left and right mouse buttongs without mme intending to do so.ive been a bass guitar player for just shy of 30 years , so i have stronger fingers than a regular person, since i have been strengthening them for almost 3 decades now, which is another reason i cant run a mouse for too long without running into this issue.

Just to be clear, im Very happy with the mouse, its great, but i am trying to switch up each new mouse purchase, as to experience something new each time, You never know when you'll find your mouse soul mate

anyway, i was curious if any of you folkss might have had some recent good experiences with mice, and would be willing to offer up your "preffered" mouse.

Im right handed
i dont know which "stance type" my hand takes on the Mouse, but il include a pic of how it rests on it , i.e. claw holding, finger tip holding etc...

I really like the G502, so if that helps , i also likes the Steelseries sensei models, but my hands Really wore down the omron switches in those pretty quick.

optical or laser, doesnt really concern me. nor do weights, for reference, i use ALL of the provided weights in the G502, (mostly so i dont lose any of them) but It does feel comfortable for me.

wired has always been fine, but tbh, i HAVE been eyeing the new Logitech G403's with wireless
thanks in advance for sharing your experiences with mice, and the suggestions too.

i dont know if the G502 is considered a "big" mouse, or a "small" mouse, but to me its like a clementine orage but i am used to this, and i am okay with things being smaller in my hands, mice included.no jokes please

this is how i normally hold it.

Well I'm happy with my current little wireless Logitech Nano Laser mouse. It's very light (which I like) and has very long battery life (2xAAA).
(My first wireless mouse was a Logitech MX1000 laser mouse, which was very heavy and bulky (and expensive), I always got a sore wrist from that one.)

going off of Scroll wheel size, im going to assume that the one in your pic is a bit smaller than the G502, or am i incorrect?(making the assumption that scroll wheels dont vary TOO much in size)

edit
HOLY CRAP!
$300+ for that MX1000?!! FFS, DAMN. i thought $100+ was too pricey. that thing better give a MEAN reach around @ that price

So your technique is off limits, how you cup the mouse and stroke the pad?

Ever tried a capacitive touch mouse like this?

I've considered capacitive touch however I don't think it's for me. I think I take too much satisfaction out of the actual clickety clickety sound

Just so you know, there is a wired 403 and it is considerably cheaper too.

 

[nomdeplume]

The world is going that way. Electric cars need to have a significant feature to create leading edge turbulence and artificially create noise to alert pedestrians at low speed. Maybe it still makes noise?

I'd imagine the scroll 'wheel' is larger and more sensitive on that mouse.

I did see that, both wired/wireless too no?(meaing the wireless one CAN be used as it is plugged in charging?) I have been eyeing that sucker since someone posted a review here on TPU...She be a sexy beast.

but tbh, i HAVE been eyeing the new Logitech G403's with wireless

beat you to it in the OP

G502 is my favorite. I'm currently getting used to a Zowie EC1-A which is also nice, but much lighter due to it being a more FPS mouse.

Yeah I think so, but it does it's job well and comfortably in my hand.

 

[Vario]

Could try a ZA11, its pretty large, good for someone that rests their hand on top/back of the mouse with full palm. About the size of a Death Adder, feels like a WMO in that its ambidextrous, but it has a raised back that makes the mouse taller and feel larger.

The wireless can be used both ways, but the wired is near half the price. Just depends on what you want, if wireless is needed. Also, mussels did the review.

G900 Chaos Spectrum. Hands down

 

[FYFI13]

G700s is fairly big, and overall fantastic mouse!

 

[Darkleoco]

Best mouse I ever have used is a RAT 7 that was perfect due to adjusting to so many different grip positions and just being accurate/comfortable, currently using a Corsair m65 RGB pro and it is a great little mouse but the new RAT 8 keeps tugging at my wallet :/ also as someone with large hands I really enjoyed the size of the RAT 7 as well.

G900 Chaos Spectrum. Hands down

I can +1 to that. I had a G700s before that - nioght and day difference. Slimmer, longer and lighter, I love it.

Razer Ouroboros here. Wireless and wired (using wired). Totally ambidextrous. Customizable. It had bad reviews, was expensive, but I bought it on a sale (with easy return fi...). It is increidible durable, perfect fit and function. MUCH better that Logitechs (I had many with buttons and wheels failing), although I also love my wifes MX Nano and the Touch Nano.

 

[dcf-joe]

I mainly just play CS:GO now and I like my FinalMouse 2016 Classic Ergo.

 

[Ahhzz]

I prefer my G9x, but this is supposed to be solid...

I just got one too after my g700s developed the doubleclick, i really like it but had got used to the fat shape of the g700s and its right side ridge for fitting my little finger in (holding it by its sides basically)

I think long term i will prefer the shape once i get used to it, i might even put the right side buttons on, i used to have an older razer with buttons on both sides that i used both of, but after a few years of the g700s, and g500 before that, i hold the mouse by that area and keep mashing it accidentally

I didn't like my G502 Proteus. I found my fingers would hurt after a while from rubbing between the soft and hard surfaces. And then rubber around the lower part of the body wore away exposing sharp and hard edges. Imo, its just a very form over function design and not made to last. Knock on wood, I hope my current Pro lasts. The Pro is a polar opposite to the wannabe stealth fighter shapes, its smooth, one piece mold, no sharp edges, one texture body. Its super simple.

Are those the ones that look like Transformers that haven't turned back into robots yet?

Yep those are the ones I just googled it, they must be really good performing because some of them are freaking expensive as hell

How long did you have it before it began to break like that? i use mine many hours/day, and it looks brand new. iirc, i have had mine for 8 months or so.

I like my new G502 Proteus Spectrum (I use it with G240 Mousepad). It replaced my old G9, I don't regret my choice.

You're the second person to suggest the kone xtd, it's also on Newegg right now for around $79 and you get a free roccat hat with it too .

I think it's between the following mice

G403 wireless/wired
Kone xtd
G900 pricey but eh, quality costs
Rat7

As an answer to my own OP as well ,The Corsair M45 is very nice. Anyone who ever tried the M65 would really like the M45, I've had both and the 45 is more expensive but it justifies it in quality and the adjustable weight system
