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've used the wired equivalent of the Logitech g502 for a while, and my partner has the wireless one, I liked them as well. I've used Logitech, steel series, Razer and Saitek mice over the years, started with a Logitech G7, and there's a reason I went back to Logitech mice after using some of the others. Imo you can't really go wrong with one of their midrange models with a decent sensor, won't break the bank and found them fairly reliable.

As a bit of an alternate, I know you prefer wireless, but I've been using a Ploopy Mouse for few months now. I don't do online fps stuff anymore, but was great for FPSs (some boomer shooters mainly) and RPGs it's solid, been playing a lot of Diablo 2 recently and it's great. It runs qmk so it's customisable however you want, sensor seems decent and the entire thing is open source, designed for user serviceability.
