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!

    Not OP, but I am considering moving to something similar for gaming because while I love my slimblade pro it’s just not great for FPS -especially since you have to overcome the inertia of the bigger ball to be accurate. However, wouldn’t a thumb ball be fatiguing instead of using all your fingers to flick the ball around?

    Also how is the quality of the build? I specifically looked into non-Logitech for my last mouse because I went through two different g pro wireless that ended up having double clicking issues. I think my old g502 had those issues too, but I’ve since discovered that my hand is too small for a g502

      Double clicking issues after a lot of use is extremely common, due to the way mouse switches are made. There’s a tiny little metal piece that holds the switch up, and with a lot of use the metal starts to deform and then it doesn’t spring back up like it should. The good news is that if you want to, it’s something that can be fixed with a bit of time, patience, some precision screwdrivers and some tweezers. You can replace the switch entirely if you’re comfortable with a soldering iron, but if you open up the switch you can retension the leaf spring and get some more use out of it.

      I’ve done this a bunch of times to my decade old Mionix Naos 5000.
