Looking for candida to replace my gaming mouse (lemmy.cat)

I hope this community is the right one.

I've had a Razer Basilisk Essential for at least 5 years, and it's starting to give up (left click starting not to work properly).

So I'm looking for a mouse to replace it, the main problem I've found with this one is that I can't open it just to clean it. I'd like to be able to do that with the new one.

Otherwise, I think it's perfect, I like the layout of the buttons (I don't want one with less or more, just the same).

Do you have any advice?

I keep going back to the Basilisk, it's a great mouse. I've got two running concurrently at home and in the office.

Opening it up is not all that hard actually, but the screws are hidden under the gliding pads. You can buy replacement ones with adhesive, or just stick them back on with a drop of hot glue. I've done just that after my cable gave up, had to cut a piece out where it was breaking. Just too freaking long.
