I used to look around reddit for product suggestions, reddit sucks and I don’t trust the bias anymore due to gorilla marketing.

I figured I could pop the question here, maybe help drive some lemmy traffic!

Any mouse suggestions? Wireless is preferred and the main use case is general desktop. I do play games with it but I play single player rpgs, so it doesn’t need competitive specs.

If you know of a mouse that doesn’t meet the criteria post it anyway, just add the different use case!

Update: Ended up getting the Logitech Master mx 3s, been using at work and home. Has 100% held up to the hype. Big fan of the side scroll and the main mouse wheel can go kinda into continuous mode if you flick it harder. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after 3 days it’s become very intuitive. I also like the multi device connection ability, great for home/office use. Gaming is also just fine (casual gaming specifically).

Cons: No options+ app for Linux, Solaar flatpak works pretty well but I haven’t been able to reprogram the side wheel yet. This one is super superficial and not at all a deal breaker but it bugs me that the dongle doesn’t have a storage spot in the mouse. An internal storage spot would make going from work and back better, I’ve ordered a $10 travel case for it so again it’s nbd.

Also leaks of a Logitech Master 4 source may indicate a new model release this year. Fingers crossed the new button isn’t AI bs.

    I loved the Logitech G700 (discontinued)

    I loved the Logitech G602 (discontinued)

    Both had the left click button start to die after a few years. Logitech is known for this being a common failure point which SUCKS because they have the best (IMO) mice that are wired/wireless, rechargeable/replaceable batteries, and accessible thumb buttons without having 20 on the side for a “gaming” mouse.

    I tried the G502 but returned it because of crappy button placement. Also hate having a mouse that looks like it should be in one of the Tron movies

    I just want ~4-6 buttons on the side for my thumb that I use for media controls, forward/back, etc. It’s REALLY hard to find that - usually it’s 2 buttons or like 30.

    Right now I’m using the Redragon M811 PRO and like it. Feels a bit cheaper build quality but not fragile. It’s much bigger than previous mice I’ve had which is actually a good thing for me, because I have big hands and didn’t realize it would be more comfortable. I don’t like the number of buttons on the side (a lot) but overall it’s good for my needs and I won’t feel like a chump if it breaks in a couple years, unlike how I feel like with the Logitech ones that are way too expensive to have such a well documented problem with switches wearing out.
