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?

My first mouse was the G502. Loved it so much I upgraded to a G502 lightspeed. I recommend this mouse to everyone

I’ve been using the Logitech G903 since about 2020 and it’s been a really solid mouse. Sure there are better devices out there but the latency and overall comfort has been real nice for me. Check it out

I love my Logitech G604. It has a very comfortable ergonomic shape with lots of function buttons and flywheel scroll wheel. The single AA battery seems to last forever and the lightspeed wireless connection is pretty much as good as wired for latency. I keep rechargeable batteries around so I don't mind swapping it out every couple months.

I used a wired death adder before it and the ergonomics don't hold a candle in comparison. Also the gliding pads on it always seemed to catch on my mouse pad which was annoying.

I had a Logitech G602 for 7 years before it finally kicked the bucket, I'm using the G604 since a couple years ago

The Logitech G602 was my favourite mouse. It could have been perfect - very comfortable, wireless, responsive, excellent several-month battery life (on normal dpi mode), tons of customisable buttons with on -board memory. But...the switch they use for the middle mouse button is total crap. Doing anything that requires a lot of middle click (CAD or sim games) will wear it out very quickly. I got through two of them in as many years, and eventually settled on Roccat mice instead.

The Roccat mice have been way more reliable, but I still wish the G602 didn't have the fatal flaw. I hate mouse cords, and just in terms of shape and weight, the G602 was perfect.

I have tried a bunch of mice and I always end up coming back to the Logitech G502. Here's a pro/con list for you: Benefits

  • Generally considered quite comfortable
  • Excellent placement of mouse buttons (index finger buttons are HUUUUGELY important for me)
  • Fantastic ability for remapping, macros, and basic functions
  • Multiple profiles you can switch between automatically or manually with a single button press. I have a "work" profile with copy and paste as my index finger buttons and a higher dpi and a "gaming" profile with numbers 5-0 on the number row mapped to my those buttons for additional functionality and ease of use.
  • Pretty cheap: regularly $40 or less on sale, sometimes even $25
  • Adjustable weights to whatever you want

Potential cons:

  • I have had to replace it once after 5 years of service due to double click
  • The software it supports is I believe quite old
  • The grippy texture will get a lot of dead skin in it and removing that is a pain

Razer are terrible for reliability, I've had a Logi Pro X Superlight for a year and it hasn't let me (or a sub) down.

I have a wireless Logitech G900 and it's not too bad, but it only has 2 thumb buttons which isn't enough for my liking. it's pretty light weight though and easy to click. Get the Logitech hub software, they used to have this different software to edit mouse buttons and it would always have a memory leak.

I used to have a wired Logitech G502 and it had 3 thumb buttons that were easy for me to press, and 2 buttons up near the edge of the mouse near your index finger. the mouse was kinda bulky, but comfortable and the amount of buttons and positions of them were awesome. I think I might have had some clicking problems though?

I also have a wireless steelseries rival 650. it has 3 mouse buttons, is heavier than the G900 and it's slightly harder to click than the G900. I have smaller hands so it's hard to find a good position to be able to press all the thumb buttons. the steelseries software for changing mouse buttons, steelseries GG, is really good and has a lot of features, even screen recording / capturing clips.

I'm looking at the wireless steelseries Aerox 5 or Aerox 9 as my next mouse, they look nice.

I personally like the Razer Viper Ultimate. I use both the G Pro X Superlight and the Viper but I like the Viper for gaming because i prefer the clicky-ness.

[–] RufusFirefly 2 points 2 years ago

I've had a Razer DeathAdder for 4 years and got it for $19 on sale. Now it's way over $40 and if I had to replace it, I would probably find a Logitech equivalent.

Endgame Gear XM2we. It is the best mouse I have ever used.
