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 have the G502 and I have issues with accuracy. I like the layout, buttons, and most important for me the scroll swap. Not sure what it’s called but swapping from click scroll and free scroll. I can’t tell you how annoying it is to not be able to swap between the two for me.

That said I find it hard to move the G502 a few pixels compared to the old school Microsoft optical mouse. Anyone else have this issue or is it a me issue?

Assuming you are on Windows, Is mouse acceleration turned off?

Just checked, it is off.

I feel that. In my experience, the 502's sensor is much more picky about the surface under it. I had to get a matte black mouse pad to get an even single-pixel precision. I also learned to make use of the DPI clutch button when continuous precision matters, like drawing in GIMP.

The portion of my mouse pad that I use it on is matte black.

I had the opposite issue where I've tried to use other mice but they have all had some noticeable acceleration while the G502 hasn't. I have no idea if you prefer hi or low sens. but turning the DPI way up and computer mouse sens. way low helps.

So setting the mouse high and changing the windows setting to low?
