Mouse recommendations (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I used to look around reddit for product suggestions, reddit sucks and I don't trust the bias anymore due to gorilla marketing.

I figured I could pop the question here, maybe help drive some lemmy traffic!

Any mouse suggestions? Wireless is preferred and the main use case is general desktop. I do play games with it but I play single player rpgs, so it doesn't need competitive specs.

If you know of a mouse that doesn't meet the criteria post it anyway, just add the different use case!

I've had an original g502 since they first came out. Mine was a return that had been damaged, and other than some cosmetic damage (corrosion on the scroll wheel, rubber texturing worn flat, gamergrease stuck in the cracks), it has held up remarkably well for the past 10+ years.

I'd encourage you to get a budget model from a gaming manufacturer just so you can avoid getting a mouse with integrated acceleration or something stupid like that.

since people will probably search for this post later on, if someone you wants something for BOTH purposes the g502x (the lighter version) has been a godsend for me. I LOVE it

I don't think I've ever had it die on me even several years later unlike my Glorious model O which would die like every other day
