Looking for candida to replace my gaming mouse (lemmy.cat)

I hope this community is the right one.

I've had a Razer Basilisk Essential for at least 5 years, and it's starting to give up (left click starting not to work properly).

So I'm looking for a mouse to replace it, the main problem I've found with this one is that I can't open it just to clean it. I'd like to be able to do that with the new one.

Otherwise, I think it's perfect, I like the layout of the buttons (I don't want one with less or more, just the same).

Do you have any advice?

I absolutely recommend the Logitech G502. I've got the wired model, but I've heard good things about the wireless too.

Compared to the Basilisk, it has two extra buttons next to LMB to increase/decrese the sensitivity, but they're not at all in the way, and a mechanical toggle that allows the wheel to rotate freely.

It's easy to disassemble for cleaning with just a prying tool and a PH0 screwdriver. The only potentially destructive step is removing the glued-on skates, but those are easy to replace. Everything else is held together by screws, pins, or plastic tabs. I recommend getting an aftermarket plastic mouse wheel because the metal one is very quick to corrode.

I've had two g502 (dog killed one) and the g905 lightspeed. They are my favorite. I've tried a ton of Asus and Razor but they're never as good as the Logitech.
