As a peripherals enthusiasts (i own a dozen keyboards about 50 mice and have used about two dozen different audio solutions), they're hardware sucks ass, the only mouse they have that's kind of worth getting is the gpx (which is hella overpriced), they have no good keyboards or headsets/headphones, their mics and webcams are painfully mediocre
Today's Logitech sucks. A decade ago they were the best in the mouse game.
Honestly their mice were pretty good even 3 years ago, it's just that advancements have happened so fast and logitech has completely neglected to try
I don't need advancements. I need a new mouse to track as well as a 10 year old mouse and register a single click when I click.
I wouldn't even need a new mouse but 10 years ago both Logitech and MS put soft touch coating on their mouses which turns to glue as it ages.
Maybe a G305?
May may i interest you in a pulsar x2?
OG G9x crew checking in!
The old G502s have treated me well. I bought several on sale many years ago so I’d have a lifetime supply just to avoid the inevitable downward spiral in quality.
Let's hope that my mx master lasts then. It's really comfortable in my hands and since I have arthritis that's not just a nice to have. Other mice actually hurt my hands.
I hope my 10yo MMO mouse will last until i have a damn brain implant to replace it XD
Is it that wow mouse with like a whole 10-key on its side?
The model is called a redragon M901. The only issues i have with it is that the software stopped working years ago so i can't change the key bindings but i already have the presets i want so i'm fine and the left click broke off and is now held with electrical tape but works perfectly well.
Edit: i saw they still sell that mouse but the new model so i'll give it a shot!
I have a Zone Vibe 100 headset and I like it. I don't use the mic so I can't speak to that, but it seems pretty solid to me.
So who makes a decent mouse now? I desperately want a halfway decent one but can’t quite afford german engineering 😉
How do your hold your mouse?
What is your budget?
Do you prefer ambi or ergo?
What is the distance between your middle finger and the base of your hand and the distance between the tip of your thumb and the tip of your pinkie when your hand is open and relaxed
Thumb on the right (right hand), pinky and ring finger on the other side first and middle finger for the buttons.
I can’t really justify more than $200 but less would be nice.
Ergo I think, logitech and the Razer’s that look like them tend to fit my hands nicely. I’m using a G1 superlight right now and it’s a bit small to be comfortable.
7.75 inches from base to the tip of my middle finger. Pinky to thumb, relaxed but not pressed flat is almost exactly 6 inches.
I’m leaning towards a Logitech MX Master 3S, but I’d love to try something else. Thanks for the detailed questions. I’m looking forward to your suggestion. 
I would recommend the razer deathadder v3 both the wired and wireless versions are great, in my opinion the logitech mx mice are decent mice if rather heavy
Thanks. I’ll give them another look. I can’t remember why I got salty on them… something with the driver needing to be online? But yeah, perfect shape :-)
It’s that aluminum scroll wheel, the original fidget spinner ;-)
I'm happy with Cooler Master MM720.
Thanks, I’m looking at it now. I was a big fan of their cases back in the day, when it was basically just them and Lin Li making aluminum PCs :-)
The shape might feel weird when you look at it but the groove for ring finger is a game changer. Comfy af.
Doesn’t hurt that Amazon has it on sale for $45 either. You ever finis a session an have hexigons printed into you palm? Definitely not a dealbreaker…Maybe it’ll break my death-grip habit :-)
