My current mouse is a cheapo Red Dragon M901. I love the ergononics, but the durability of the scroll wheel isn’t great. I had to replace the mouse about a year ago because the scroll wheel died (really stiff + wouldn’t click), and now this one is starting to show the same symptoms.

I would like wireless (esp. bluetooth), but I’m a little skeptical about it because my last wireless mouse (EVGA X20) had really inconsistent wakeup. Sometimes it would fall asleep while I was reading something, and I’d have to shake it for 2-5 seconds to wake it back up. That’s extremely annoying :/

The razer naga mice seem like the top tier stuff, but they’re very pricey and my experience with razer hardware reliability in the past has not been great.

Also I’m a linux user, so if the mouse comes with a linux compatible configuration utility, that’s a plus (open source? that’s a plus plus even if the mouse itself is mid :P)

I would check the mice that are compatible with libratbag/Piper. I believe Logitech have a MMO style mouse with 12ish side buttons on the support list but I would need to double check.

With that said, Logitech have been known to use shitty switches in some of their G series mice. I had to resolder my G903 ones, and I took the opportunity to make other modifications (larger battery + glass skates).

I don't believe these mice support Bluetooth in addition to their proprietary 2.4 protocol either, so that might be a bit of a deal breaker, though I personally am not too keen on BT for wireless peripherals.
