Mouse recommendations, anyone? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

The Logitech G502 is the best mouse I've ever owned, both for gaming and work. Comfortable, plenty of buttons, trivial to disassemble for cleaning with a PH0 screwdriver and a prying tool, and even the Windows software is bearable (you can use Piper on Linux with 99% of the functionality). I have the wired version, but I've heard good things about the wireless too.

The only issue I've had is heavy corrosion on the metal scroll wheel, but you can swap it for an aftermarket plastic wheel. I've used one heavily for ~5 years and it only recently started showing wear in the thumb micro-switches. Great value for a reasonable price, and my #1 recommendation.

If you want to treat yo'self, consider the Logitech MX Master 3S. Very pricey, but a great work mouse. Wireless, can use the included USB dongle or bluetooth. The battery is built-in. I charged it once when I bought it about two weeks ago and it's still at ~60% charge.

Logitech warranty is also very good. Downside is that the G502 was the only mouse I ever had that died within the warranty window.

I love the design and feel, but it took me five defective products to finally get the one I have been using for a few years now. Also picked up the G910 keyboard, and this is the third one through warranty as well (which is also now starting to multi type on my 'E' and 'M' key presses).

Logitech's quality has become very poor compared to the past, which is heavily disappointing.
