Need some mouse recommendations

+1 for the Logitech G502 (Hero I suppose now). I've had mine since 2018 and it is still going strong. They DID have double clicking issues in between mine and the new ones in the last 2 years, but I'm pretty sure they put much better switches in the new ones that fixed the issues.
 
Basically what the title says. My Razer Deathadder (lol) Essential (lmao) has a faulty left click button that's driving me insane both when working and playing.

Any recommendations for a mouse that has at least 5 buttons and isn't made to break in a few years time? Don't care about customizing it's weight nor anything fancy like that, and I would really prefer for it to be wired instead of wireless.

Thanks in advace. 🫂

I also moved from a Razer Deathadder recently, to the beloved and highly affordable Logitech G203. I paid 20 euro's for it and its the best mouse I've used in years. Highly recommended if you don't want 10000 features and 20000 buttons on your mouse. It's a no-nonsense lightweight mouse with RGB. Perfect for FPS, creative work, etc.

Don't you ever buy anything from razer.

logitech is cool tho.
I just swapped out my MX Master for a Razer Basilisk v3 Pro. I don't regret my decision. It's the perfect mouse for people who need a thumb rest.

Logitech G502, switched from Razor years ago and never looked back.

I did not like this mouse, insanely heavy, even without the added weights you can put in or remove, and not great for FPS games tbh.

Edit: Logitech fan here :)

Yeah until shit breaks
Personally I have had more Logitech mice break vs Razer. No, I wouldn't buy a Razer laptop, but I have had no issues with their mice and keyboards over the years.

Also, usually you can snag them on Amazon or BestBuy sale for quite a bit off MSRP a few times a year.
 
Whatever you do, steer clear of Logitech mice with that soft rubber coating. It wears out fast and won't stand the test of time. I switched to a simple hard-plastic UGREEN mouse, much better for my hands. That rubber stuff tends to degrade and stick to your skin, and you definitely don't want that.
 
Wow. Polarized responses between Razer and Logitech backers

I had a Basilisk before I bought the Logitech. Wish I had stuck with it for a replacement after I work out the first one. Probably the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.

I never had a mouse after the Logitech MX518 that didn't start double clicking after a couple of months. So I just bought a bunch of replacement switches and a soldering iron. Now I'm using a G203, it's fine with replacement switches. My brother has a G502, he never had a problem in 3 years.
 
I can recommend the Logitech G502 Hero. It does have removable weights but you never need to bother with them.

Premium feel, metal scroll wheel, comfy shape, and wired, as god intended. Mine has been going strong for years. Cheap too - currently £40 on Amazon UK.
I have one, good quality mouse, unfortunately one of the side buttons is dying. I have it 3 years now.

From what I read, old G502 had good build quality, then it became bad, and I don't think it improved (again, only from feedback I read online). They did release the G502X, which has optical switches, which are supposed to last longer, but apparently the noise clicks sound very loud and cheap, like a hollow / spring sound.

I need to change my mouse to, it's an old G402, but I'm not sure what to get and the different G502 options all seem to have their own issues. At some point I tried getting a new G402, but it was bad, the quality was completely different from my old one, the cable was much thinner, the mouse wheel was very loose and kept making some kind of click sound too. Even when buying the same product again, you have to be careful.
