Bluetooth doesn't work on my Razr mouse anymore and my brother has also had bad charging issues with his Razr. Thinking of switching to a different brand, so what do you all use?

I use logitech g503 (wired) since 2019. I had to replace switch/clicker under right mouse button. It is still pretty decent mouse tbh.

I had to replace switch/clicker under right mouse button.

I have a similar model to this and while they do go for pretty cheap and are decent quality, be aware you'll need to replace switches after like 2-3 years of use. Mine also had issues with both left and right click and replacing the switches wasn't as easy as I'd liked.

[–] pfaca 4 points 1 year ago

Same with my g502 with 2 years of use. The right switch being the problem in my case. And I'm not that inclined to replace the switch.

The sensor is great, but quality of the switches not so much.

[–] _MoveSwiftly 3 points 1 year ago

I've also done this with my Logitech mice. They work well otherwise.

[–] MyOpinion 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Don’t ever under any circumstances give money to Logitech, worst mouse maker I have had the misfortune in dealing with.

[–] yuuki 9 points 1 year ago

Go ahead and tell us the story.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I actually switched from Logitech to Razer after the left mouse button on my G502 died. I tried out a few other brands but nothing comes close to the shape of the G502 except the Basilisk. The Hyperspeed is typically 1/3 the price of the Lightspeed.

Their keyboards suck as well. The G710 was the GOAT but they've been trash since they stopped using cherry switches. I was eyeing the MX Mechanical for the longest time before I realized that Keychron makes a superior keyboard at half the price.

The Logitech G305 is the single best budget wireless mouse ever and nothing will change my mind about it. I've had it for about a year now and my friend, who got me to buy the G305, has had his for 4-5 years.

[–] pfaca 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

No switch problems (miss/double clicks) for either of you?

[–] SMSPARTAN 3 points 1 year ago

No problems so far for either of us, but I wouldn't discard the possibility of it happening to me since I've had it only for a year so far. Altough he has had it for 4-5 years and it still works like new.

Logitech usually has something good, like the G502 series. I heard decent stuff about Steelseries, but haven't reid them. I bought Roccat Kone a while back because they supported Linux drivers and it lasted a long time and was surprisingly good. It too eventually broke though, just like any gaming mouse.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Used a Razer Deathadder for years and switched to a Zowie EC-2B. Identical form and measures and a lot more reliable.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

The G502 is like the "standard" gaming mouse at this point. I have two, one for work and one at home.
It's nothing over the top but it's perfectly adequate, great shape, good weight, top of the line accuracy.

Very satisfied with the logitech g50x series. Currently using a 502hero. Fits my hand perfectly, programmable, adjustable weight, unlockable scrollwheel (which I cant live without anymore) and the price is okay.

[–] HLB217 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seconding the G502. I bought mine back in 2014 and it's still going strong! My favorite mouse of all time

[–] Dassen 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have been using a steelseries sensei type mouse for a long while now.

In my years of PC gaming i have learned that i don't need a bells and whistles on my mouse and keyboard.

For keyboard i'm using a DASkeyboard and i don't think ill ever use anything else.

Logitech G Pro Wireless with the Soarking Charging Dock. Normally a wired mouse fan but this mouse is top notch.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I can't speak for the charging dock (is that worth it?), but I can second this mouse. It's solidly reliable and holds a charge for a long time. I was getting annoyed of the wire causing pull, anyway.

[–] mamalapandu 4 points 1 year ago

I have had nothing but problems with Razr. I suggest one the Logitech gaming mice. I love my g900.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If budget isn’t an issue I’d highly recommend the G Pro Wireless / Pro X Superlight.

IME the Logitech G305 wireless has been great for me. Good battery life, very responsive, and feels great.

I also have a Model D wireless which I prefer the feel of better, but the battery life is awful by comparison to the G305.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

I have a glorious model O which is decent, though I would get a G502 if I had to buy another one.

[–] WhataburgerSr 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Logitech G600. Yes, it's wired and a bit old but it is EXTREMELY reliable, easy to program, and VERY comfortable. It's so good that I have 5 of them; 1 that I'm using and 4 to replace it with when this one dies.

I really like razor, when my synapse dies I'm just goma get another TBH. Also there are some really decent $20 gaming mice on amazon, just read reviews.

[–] NotAMonitor 3 points 1 year ago

I use the Corsair Dark Core rgb pro se. But that's mostly because I wanted both a thumb and pinky rest.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I'll jump in here to ask. Does anyone have a good replacement for an old MMO mouse with 12 thumb buttons.

[–] KJ118 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use the corsair scimitar rgb had it for ~5 years now with no complaint.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've had three of them, without fail after a year the scroll wheel just stops working. Not gonna say I probably didn't overuse it, I love making sure I'm zoomed out, especially with most games tendency to zoom in whenever it's horribly inconvenient, but it seemed to stretch incredulity with how much they just decided to stop scrolling with multiple iterations.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I've been loving my Steel Series Aerox 9 wireless. I got it on amazon for 30% off, because the standard price is pretty steep. I've only had it for about a month now so I can't talk to longevity but I haven't had any complaints yet

I use Balilisks for all my computers now. None of them have failed. All of my Logitech mice fail in a year or just a little more.

[–] Nindelofocho 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Its not a “gaming” mouse but its still a high quality mouse, I got the Logitech MX Vertical and it’s spectacular

Corsair M65 Ultra has been my favorite for a while. Have a wired one for my main rig and a wireless for my laptop when I go on the road for work. The wireless one also does Bluetooth for quick connection and normal usage, but also has a dongle for lag-free gaming.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I have a Logitech G203 and I like it. A thing to note though is that the "Lightsync" version is prone to "spinning out" if you use super low DPI. It hasn't been a problem for me, even when I tried to make it happen, but I've seen videos of it happening.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I had a Logitech G203 Prodigy that I loved but I bought my favorite mice reviewer's mouse that he designed and put out with Xtrify: Zy's Rail It's my favorite that I've owned thus far. His YouTube channel, RocketJumpNinja, has reviews for tons of popular mice, which helped my choose the G203 originally.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a cooler master MM720 and I really like it.

Xenics Titan GE wireless is the best mouse I've owned, just in front of a Ducky. Razer has their USB dongle install spyware/software every time you plug it in - so no thanks. I have a Logitech Pro that I use for travel because the left switch burned out. Easy to replace but don't want to have to do it every year.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love the way logi mice feel, but I've had 3 die on me with a double click issue, I just can't bring myself to give them more money.

I've heard that the Xenics Titan is built well, but has abnormally high click latency, which I'm not a fan of. Right now I'm sticking with an old school Razer Deathadder wireless, but you're not wrong about their software being a cancer.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Currently using a pulsar xlite v2, best mouse I've ever had hands down, perfect fit for me!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

My favorite mice at the moment:

Logitech G Pro Superlight if you primarily play shooters.

Logitech G502 Lightspeed for a more general purpose mouse. After using the superlight for almost a year, I find going back to this thing kind of hard purely due to its weight. But I miss it’s top notch ergonomics and the extra button on the left side.

G502 Hero wired mouse. I love this thing for browsing or hard core gaming.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Logitech G600 if you like having a LOT of buttons. Had mine for years and it still hasn't broken.

I've had 3 Roccat Aimo mice, first one for 6 years of constant use and the other two to replace it and have one for my laptop. Love them, and they look great.

[–] LUHG_HANI 3 points 1 year ago

G502 and just replace it every time the double click issue happens.

[–] RetroEvolute 3 points 1 year ago

If you've got the money kicking around, the Logitech G Pro X Superlight is probably the best all around gaming mouse.

I currently have a Glorious O Wireless (gen 1) and actually really like it, as a bit more of a budget option. Unfortunately, I heard the gen 2 launch hasn't gone great, so it's a bit harder to recommend, but maybe they've worked through the hitches by now. I like that the settings are entirely saved to the mouse and I don't have to keep their software running.

My next keyboard will be Wooting, which seems to have the same save-to-device mentality, but even more robust.

[–] dogma11 3 points 1 year ago

Loving my Roccat Burst Pro for the past 6-9 months

[–] hal_5700X 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I been using a wired Glorious Model O 2 for two months. Zero problems.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've been through a few mice in the past years. Logitech, Steelseries, and worst of my bunch, Endgame Gear. This time I opted for a Razr one, the Basilisk V3, and I love it, especially the scrollwheel, so, since you're coming from Razr, I recommend that one.

[–] Gravity 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use the ASUS Gladius (can’t remember the exact name). Nothing too fancy but for connectivity it has the wireless dongle, bluetooth, or usb c cable. Moved away from my razr basilisk cause their dongle seems to keep pushing me to install their software and it’s annoying

[–] thorcik 2 points 1 year ago

Different Logitech stuff since I got my G9x all those years ago (if they ever re-make it I'll get it in a heartbeat). I replaced it with a G700s but it died quite fast (and, as I didn't get it brand new, wasn't covered by warranty). I moved on to a G903 that, after four years, I replaced this year (double clicking, how did you know?). Now I've got the new G502 X Lightspeed, loving it so far. Especially paired with the Powerplay mousepad, no hassle with mouse cables and no charging issues either.
