Ask Lemmy

Logitech Performance MX. I've had for years. Still my favorite mouse.

Logitech G502

I've used several mice across nearly all major brands. Maintaining four home office locations and a few for using while on work trips. Confortable and reliable.

Only issue my wife has is hitting the side button on a web browser and losing saved work via portal apps. I've never hit a side button by mistake.

You already got so much feedback but I'll chuck one in for the Logitech MX anywhere. Its smaller than the master version but has USBC charging which is important for me, so I only need one cable to charge everything, I make a point to try and get USBC products (keyboard, action cam, bike lights, headphones etc)

Logitech M650 it had very quiet buttons and a freewheeling scroll wheel. Wheel click is not quite as quiet, and the thumb buttons are noisy. Another downside is that after roughly a year the plastics have worn down, moving and sometimes the buttons are clicking due to getting stuck.

mx master 3. it's a little bulky and it costs $100 but it legitimately has like a 3 month battery life and it is well built with a high quality sensor, plus the gesture thing (doesn't work on Linux though).

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.

Logitech G305

Wireless, simple, cheap (30 euros or so) and runs for half a year or so on a single AA battery. I used all sorts of fancy gaming mice for a good while, but if Logitech keeps making these I'm more than happy to get new ones when the buttons give up, which they always do eventually no matter the price point.

I’ve been using a Razer viper for a few years. It works perfectly well, fits nicely in the hand and it’s not too pricey.

Definitely worth a try.

Same here.

Logitech M570 I use it daily and the battery lasts for a month or more

I bought a Darmoshark M3 used like 1 year ago. It's a cheap, really lightweight and a fast wireless mouse imo. Also feels great to grip. Def would recommend it

Logitech M331. Wireless, good fit in the hand, and nearly silent clicks. Low pressure click too. I've used one at work and one at home for years now.

Loud-clicking mice irk me, as do ones that require some pressure to click. When you do it thousands of times a day, it matters.

It's also pretty cheap, like AUD$30 I think.

My keyboard of choice is Keychron K5SE incidentally.

Pebble Mouse 2 M350s from Logitech. Silent clicks and works on three devices. Bluetooth pairing, no dongle. Low cost as well. It's also very small if packing it for travel is necessary.

I went for a three device mouse due to an elbow injury. I can be watching a video on my laptop and playing sudoku on my tablet without having to bend my elbow for long periods of time.

My favorite is Lamzu atlantis mini. Shout out to endgame gear op1 for 2nd.

+1 on Razer mice, I use the Razer naga pro and I love it, I HATE their software and open it as little as possible, but their mouse quality is pretty good for gaming.

I used to use Logitech, which has much better software in Windows and actually has 3rd party software that lets you customize buttons in Linux, but their switches on their mice go out so quickly. There is a known flaw with their switches and they don't fix it. IMO Logitech has lowered their quality quite a bit and still kept their prices the same. The last mouse I got from them basically deteriorated, like the side grips basically disintegrated from regular use, in half the time of the Logitech mouse before, and the only reason I replaced the other mouse was because the switches in it died.

I specifically got the Razer Naga pro because it's got optical switches that don't wear out in the same way.

Personally, I would recommend a tufted titmouse. I know, I know, you think it's actually a mouse, but it's not! It's a BIRD. They're super cute.

I got a Logitech MX Master for general desktop use and am happy with it.

Good battery life, comfortable, accurate, and the multiple extra function buttons don’t get in the way. I like the motorized flywheel scroll and ability to maintain 3 bluetooth pairings (selectable via button on bottom)

I am a big fan of the vertical mouse. Currently using the Logitech Lift and happy with it. I'm sure there are other ones that are great too but this is just what I'm using.

logitech trackballs are my favorite

the blue ball model is cheap and will work for a few years

the gray ball model is worth the extra cost and mine have lasted for a few years and don't show any signs of failing like the blue ball models do
