Mouse recommendations, anyone? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

I know this isn't what you're looking for, but I have excellent recommendations for people with RSI and / or Carpal Tunnel.

For a while, I daily-drove a Logitech MX vertical mouse and that was wonderful. It's responsive, comfortable and really accurate, and helped my RSI in my mouse hand.

Eventually, the RSI started hurting my other wrist (my job has a really sucky keyboard) so I moved on to the Kensington Slimblade trackball mouse. That mouse is KILLER for reducing and / or eliminating RSI. It's perfect for me, because I was able to switch my main mouse hand with little issue and I've been switching them up occasionally ever since depending on which wrist hurts worse. It's not a forever solution, but it's an excellent temporary one. I really can't say enough good about the Kensington (that being said, you aren't gonna be able to game on it hahaha)

Second the Logitech MX Vertical, I just wish it had more buttons.

I’ve been considering moving to a trackball as well to free up some desk space and simplify my setup. I currently use a razer naga left-hand mouse for when I get tired of using my right hand due to an injury.

I have a kensington trackball on my left taking up extra desk space for when my hand gets tired of my non-ergo right hand mouse. double mouse is awful for deskspace but I find it very convenient and comfortable
