PC Master Race

I second the G502, although I’m using the older G502 Proteus Spectrum. Using this mouse reliably for 6 years so far and no issues.

Edit: I should add context on how I use my mouse over those years. I use it for both work and gaming. I’ve been playing Overwatch consistently on that, including the remastered version “Battle Pass Simulator: The FOMO Game with guest-star Overwatch 1”. Also various other genres that do require repeated mouse clicking, and this mouse has held up extremely well. Favorite features are weight, ergonomics, infinite scroll wheel, and DPI shift that is a modifier. Nice when I’m trying to click heads in Battle Pass Simulator: The FOMO Game with guest-star Overwatch 1.

I've had a wired G502 since 6-8 years so far and it's holding up like a champ. The functionality is excellent, even if logitech software have given me some issues sometimes. It's still great. I especially love having a readily accessible modifier key.

I freaking love my 502. I switched after my MX Master 3S started screwing up and have not looked back. I use Excel everyday and think 502 is the superior mouse

Every Logitech mouse I've owned in the past 20 years has had switches fail and start double clicking. Usually it's the middle mouse button since it uses a cheap tactile switch instead of the larger more robust micro switches.

I buy a bunch of switches off Digikey and solder in a replacement when it happens (like once a year for each mouse), but it's a hassle.

Rocking my G502 since 2015.

I thought I was going to have to replace it last year when the scroll wheel started acting up, but I put it in "sport mode" and blasted it with a can of compressed air and that fixed it. Literally no other maintenance.

I have to disagree with the G502. I have the Lightspeed and had a serious double clicking issue within a year. I use an MX master at work and bought another for home and am very happy with that.

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

Another vote for G502. I have mine since 2014. Although there's apparently an MX518 remake available too, which is roughly the same original shape.

Jumping on this thread to say I've been using the G900 for a few years now and it's been great.

I also have a G502 (mine is a Hero). I've had it for about 2 years and I'm pretty happy with it.

Upsides: I really like the little "sled" on the left for your thumb to ride on. I've never had this on any other mouse. Variable weight.

Only downside is that I sometimes bump the higher left side button on my kb when I'm not careful. This changes the DPI and screws me up pretty bad, esp. in games. Easy to undo with another button, but placement of that button is not ideal with my kb. More desk space could solve this.

Glad to hear its durable. Maybe I should buy another...

My Razer mice are perfectly fine. Only issue was the Lancehead TE. They used lower quality switches, which is replaceable for cheap and they upgraded the quality of the switches in newer models. I am very happy.

If you have pets the likely answer is the wheel has hair wrapped around it and is triggering the censor in unexpected ways. I had the same exact issue.

The fifteen minutes I spent with ASUS's bloatware was enough to convince me never to use it.

I wish companies would stop peddling their bloated customization software and just release something that works. Piper should be the gold standard of pragmatic design - no flashy visuals or animations, just useful graphics and convenient settinsg.

Another vote for the vert. The mx verticals is my favorite mouse I’ve ever moused with.

Second the Logitech MX Vertical, I just wish it had more buttons.

I’ve been considering moving to a trackball as well to free up some desk space and simplify my setup. I currently use a razer naga left-hand mouse for when I get tired of using my right hand due to an injury.

Doesn't feel as nice for gaming as something that can go up to 1000 Hz or higher polling rate

I think above 1000 might be placebo, but most of the genetic mice are 125Hz, which means they don't even move on every refresh cycle of my monitor

Sorry to necro the thread but I ended up getting one of these and it's great so thanks for the recommendation. Recently switched to Linux and found Rivalcfg supports aerox 5. Terminal only, but worth checking out if you're still searching.
