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!
Update: Ended up getting the Logitech Master mx 3s, been using at work and home. Has 100% held up to the hype. Big fan of the side scroll and the main mouse wheel can go kinda into continuous mode if you flick it harder. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after 3 days it’s become very intuitive. I also like the multi device connection ability, great for home/office use. Gaming is also just fine (casual gaming specifically).
Cons: No options+ app for Linux, Solaar flatpak works pretty well but I haven’t been able to reprogram the side wheel yet. This one is super superficial and not at all a deal breaker but it bugs me that the dongle doesn’t have a storage spot in the mouse. An internal storage spot would make going from work and back better, I’ve ordered a $10 travel case for it so again it’s nbd.
Also leaks of a Logitech Master 4 source may indicate a new model release this year. Fingers crossed the new button isn’t AI bs.
Elecom makes a range of devices, I haven’t tried any of their mice, but the huge trackball is excellent.

took me a few lines to realize u aint looking for mouse traps
I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.
I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.
Wired Steelseries Aerox.
I like my Aerox now, but it took some time to get used to it coming from a heavier G502.
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.
Seconding a vertical mouse. I like Evoluent’s mice, been using them for years.
I was strongly considering this, I’ve toyed with cheap vertical clones but I’m very curious to try the real deal!
I’m on the vertical train, too, for reasons beyond my control and quite physically uncomfortable, unfortunately.
My current choice to split the difference between sore wrists and crappy performance is the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical. I wasn’t sure about the shape at first, but I got used to it super fast and it’s really comfy and fast enough for gaming.
Came here to vote for the Lift and also ask whatcha got against gorillas?
All my bros in primate marketing were saddened by your comment.
Vertical mice do take a day or two to get used to for gaming, I kept pushing the thing sideways very slightly when clicking
Evoluent invented the vertical mouse and is my fave so far
Anker makes a good basic vertical mouse for anyone looking to try them before going the spendy route. I alternate between it and a Logitech MX Master.
The anker one i had wasn’t really vertical, like angled halfway. I prefer vertical handshake position mouse for my wrist pain, but yes evoluent is more expensive
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)
At least gorilla marketing is up front and in your face. They’re not sneaky about it like some other types of marketing which use surprise and creative interactions to generate buzz about their products.
Especially if it’s Silverback Gorilla marketing.
Really wish Logitech would make a new/wireless version of the g600, I use it for work and all of the programmable buttons on the side are amazing for productivity. Cut, copy, paste, delete with the mouse is so handy
I’m not that picky, so I usually go for whatever Logitech I can find which can connect to a unifying receiver. That way, using solaar (Linux equivalent of that proprietary tool for pairing Logitech devices), I can use just one USB dongle for both mouse and keyboard.
I swear by the Logitech lyft, I know it looks weird. But it just feels natural, give it a day or two and you’ll wonder why every mouse isn’t shaped like that. I know because thats what happened to me after I used my boss’s mouse and then my wife when she used mine.
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.
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 love that this comment ended up being the top comment, lemmy didn’t disappoint!
Chirp.
One of my favorite birbs
I got a Logitech G502X. Works good for my use case.
A certified hood classic for sure. I have one at home and one at work.
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.
