Mouse recommendations (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

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.

I got a Logitech MX Master for general desktop use and am happy with it.

Good battery life, comfortable, accurate, and the multiple extra function buttons don’t get in the way. I like the motorized flywheel scroll and ability to maintain 3 bluetooth pairings (selectable via button on bottom)

[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

My choice as well. Perfect mouse

[–] agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works 3 points 4 days ago

Same here, the thumb scroll wheel is great

[–] CairhienBookworm@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Yes this. Been using mine for a few years now and it's proven to be dependable. It's comfortable to use and I love the side scrolling wheel (I work with loooong spreadsheets often).

I've used two MxMasters over the last 10+ years and I couldn't be happier with them. I only replaced my first one because it was white and I couldn't really clean the rubber scroll wheel properly. The new one has a metal scroll wheel and is much better.

[–] krox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago (2 children)

This seems to be the most recommended mouse, I couldn't tell if it was marketing hype or genuinely good. Seems genuinely good!

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Love the mouse. Hate that it cannot store presets onboard anymore. The Mx master 2 could.

Looking for a new mouse too.

[–] krox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

store presents onboard

Yeah this is one of the few gripes I have with it, especially without a Linux app.

[–] Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 1 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Solaar is a Godsend though

[–] krox@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 hours ago

It absolutely is, I am pretty impressed with it's functionality! It doesn't have everything options+ does but it has like 90%+ of the functions.

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

It's a big mouse, I couldn't get used to it. I got the G305 instead and bought an extra because it fits me much better.

[–] ApollosArrow@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

I’ve used the same line for the last 10 years. I’m on my second one. First one lasted about 8yrs?
