If you did not grab the G502 Special Edition at $35 last week, it, along with a great number of other Logitech products, are currently marked down even more. Said G502 SE is now going for $29.50.

Just grabbed this for $35, thanks for the heads up. Was going to eventually switch to a SteelSeries Rival 600 (from an earlier Rival model) but for that low price, great reviews, and similar mouse shape, I'm willing to try out Logitech.

And if I hate it, it can always be used as a backup.

If you like keeping a second mouse plugged in because the scroll wheel on your zowie sucks poo poo and you use your computer for browsing then yeah go zowie

This is a problem with the Rivals too. SteelSeries is great otherwise but the mousewheels crap out after a year and it sucks.

TRIP REPORT: I hate it. Main mouse buttons are too trigger-happy, extra buttons are in weird unnatural spots and shaped angular/uncomfortable to click and the absolute worst problem is that mousewheel is the clunkiest I've ever used and extremely uncomfortable to scroll to the point that you want to actively avoid it. It's like scraping your finger against a ridged metal tire.

EDIT: Just ordered another Rival 310, I can't stand this thing. Had a bad feeling about the LG Hero but at least their trackball/lightweight wireless keyboard is great for my casual HTPC setup.

The steelseries 300 and Razer Viper Mini are also low weight and cheaper than final mouse.

Using the SteelSeries Rival 310 after hating that Logitech Hero and it's absolutely wonderful and the best mouse I've ever owned. Have had 2 SS 300's and while they're also great, the mousewheel craps out after a year. Hoping they fixed the design issues with the 310 and they're nearly identical shapewise (310 is actually a bit better).

Buy an SS Rival 310.

If you get a SS Rival 310, I highly recommend putting the money up for a paracord. It takes no skill to install and it will greatly improve the experience. Also replacing the feet from Tiger ESports does wonders too. I really hope that Steelseries does this with the next version of the Rival and Sensei.

Gonna skip the cord replacement but it could glide better....is it these?

The full size Huntsman is the only non-Corsair full keyboard I've seen that has a proper volume control, and that is something that I will not live without. The price is ouch though, I don't think I could justify it even if I was in the market for a new keyboard.

The fact that optical switches are so hard to gently caress up is the thing that made me buy a Viper Ultimate, everything is so unreliable now that I may as well give Razer a shot at this point. Short term everything about it is excellent, but we'll see how it holds up long term.

Last gen razer blackwidow elite from 2018 also has a nice dial that is press to mute. I really like the wrist rest it comes with and its on discount if you look around. Woot.com was selling them for close to $100 very recently

I just checked the site to see what new poo poo they were up to and they must be reading your mind:
https://www.daskeyboard.com/x/x50q-rgb-mechanical-keyboard/

Currently $70 off ($129) but the difference are Gamma Zulu switches (which I have no experience with) instead of Cherry MX's. There's also the 4Q for $199 which looks the same as my 4 Pro but it's backlit (which admittedly would be really nice).

EDIT: And there's a 5Q hidden on the site for $249 and the only difference noted on their model comparison page is <1ms response time vs <20ms response time of other models: https://www.daskeyboard.com/p/5q-cloud-connected-rgb-mechanical-keyboard/

I like the form and ergonomics of the Steelseries Rival 310, but the build quality is complete trash.

It's been under a year since I bought it and the middle button doesn't know whether it wants to scroll up or down, and the silicon pads at the sides are coming off even though I've replaced them once already. I miss the sturdiness of my MX518, but the 310 is better ergonomically.

Is there a mouse that's similar to the 310 in design, but much better in build quality? I don't mind paying a bit extra.

I love my 310 and the next mouse I'll probably try is the Intellimouse Pro from MS. Take the plunge and let us know!

Has anyone tried this mouse out? I still have my Intellimouse 1.1 from ~18 years ago that are now suffering from typically double-clicking when I intend to single-click. I don't know how to fix the double-clicking problem, as it is probably a mechanical problem(?) I had bought 2 or 3 of them for like <30$ total back around 2000/2001; I think that I got my money's worth for sure.

So, I would like to get something similar: large mouse, side buttons, hopefully long life. I am not sure what to get; the Pro Intellimouse seems reasonable. Any other suggestions? I would prefer to try the mouse out in person before buying (especially with regards to size/grip), but it is looking like I will just have to buy it and find out.

I'm taking my own advice and just ordered one. I have larger hands and while the Rival 310 is comfortable enough, it's not the perfect size. Hopefully the Intellimouse Pro is exactly what I'm looking for. Will give a trip report in a couple weeks or whenever I pick it up.

I hope you like it! I've never had a 5mm thick mousepad and it's so loving comfortable. I wish they made a 48 x 24 pad because I want to cover my entire desk in one.

Have had a couple days with the giant ReflexLab mousepad (along with the new MS Intellimouse Pro):

Reflex Lab XXL: It's great! It fits a lot better on the desk than I thought it would and while it's not quite as thick as my SteelSeries one, the coverage is absolutely worth it for the convenience of being able to track on my left with my work mouse. It's a bit slower than my previous ones too but I'll get used to it.

MS Intellimouse Pro: Well, I've finally found the perfect mouse. After coming from SS Rivals, the build quality on the MSIP is leagues better and the larger/heightened shape fits my hand perfectly. Strongly recommend if you have larger hands and are looking for an alternative to the Rival.

Anyone got a recommendations for an all-rounder with 2-4 thumb buttons and software that isn't poo poo?

I've been using a Deathadder for many years now because it feels nice to use without an overload of features, but the wheel click is prone to failure and they get unreliable after 1-2 years. My most recent purchase just started glitching on middle clicks so it's time to replace and it seems like I should see what else is out there. In a first, the right button has started spazzing out too. I guess I ADS too hard.

I like the look of the logitech G604 or MX518 but half the reviews are raging about the software (which surprises me, I thought it was a settled issue that the razer software was the worst).

I especially like the mouse wheel on the G604.. I do a lot of flicking while I work and having a beefy metal wheel seems nice. But it's getting to that threshold of too many buttons.

The new MS Intellimouse Pro. Same shape as those gaming mice and it's legit comparable performance-wise to a gaming mouse plus quality build-quality. Assuming it never gets discontinued, I'm never buying a different mouse again.

That looks like a really good option, as it has that little concave shape around the thumb that makes lifting the mouse super fast. How do the side buttons program? The MS page says you have to do it through the Windows control panel, which knowing Microsoft there's going to be a dropdown of 20 predetermined options and that's it. Or does it let you map to any keyboard button?

The G103 ticks some other boxes, like the scroll wheel is big and fat and it has that extra button behind the wheel. But the shape of it seems like it would make pinching annoying. But I'm probably overanalyzing and it's fine.

And the Asus option looks like good hardware with trash software. Such is life.

But thanks for the suggestions, I got plenty to choose from now.

It uses the expanded Microsoft Mouse & Keyboard Center control panel (integrated seamlessly after install and doesn't need to be running after once you're done setting it up) and looking at the list right now (using a thumb button as an example), you can assign it to whatever macro you want and also assign program/game-only specific macros.

Cheers to the goon who recommended me the new Intellimouse. It's a fantastic mouse - the build quality is great and it feels premium. Definitely the best mouse I've used.

This was me and I also came off the Rival 310. MS Intellimouse Pro still going strong but I have noticed an infrequent bug where it'll just randomly die and require a quick unplug/replug. Guessing it's driver/M&K Center-related. Still love the thing though and zero other issues so far.

What's the goon consensus on best mouse for large hands with a decent amount of buttons? I do some gaming (most strenuous game these days is Deep Rock Galactic) and a decent bit of audio and video editing. I currently have a hand-me-down g502 from my partner and I've been finding that I subconsciously squeeze the mouse with my pinky to get a decent grip on it, giving me hand pain after a little while. Looking for something on the larger side that I can get a good palm grip on. Wired preferred as I have plenty of desk space to route the cable without it getting in the way.

Simple google search is making me lean toward the Corsair m65 ELITE, but the first few pages of the search are all garbage clickbait sites.

When I first built my recent PC, I bought a Razer DeathAdder, and it worked great for some time. But unfortunately, I've only had it for about a year and the mouse wheel is busted (I took it apart and you can see that the peg has worn away) and now has trouble detecting my wheel spins (it works like 50% of the time, sometimes it "catches" but most times it just spins freely).

I had good reviews on this mouse as a workhouse wired gaming mouse but now am pretty disappointed. Is this a reasonable expectation? Any good recommendations for other similar wired mouses that are good for gaming and FPS and are more robust?

I wouldn't mind maybe a more oriented "MMO mouse" with extra buttons and functionality (I don't play a ton of MMOs or anything but the extra buttons sound useful) but one that won't be completely terrible at FPS. My preference is a wired mouse as well.

Still working perfectly after 1.5yrs and better comp FPS results than I had with my Rival:

What's the go-to recommended mouse for non-mousepad surfaces? IE: A HTPC where you're using it on a sofa fabric or something.

Either wireless with a little USB adapter or Bluetooth?

Bonus points for a suitable keyboard combo for the same purpose. I have an ancient logitech with a small keyboard w/touch pad which has gotten super janky.

The one-gen behind version of this (M570) works great for an HTPC and if you have largish hands, you can basically hold it vertically like a remote/walk around with it:
