And how do you rate it?
The mac came with a Magic Mouse 2 but couldn't get on with it so using a cheap Jelly Comb silent bluetooth mouse. Does the job just fine
Mainly Logitech wireless, but MS Arc mouse on the Surface Pro.
Ratings?
Logitech? Very good. Have used mainly Logitech since their first optical mouse mmmmph years ago.
MS Arc? Not bad at all. I've always quite like MS mice. The Arc, though, is pretty decent but at a hell of a premium price. The on/off mechanism is very clever, but I feel I paid a hefty premium for that, and the styling, at the expense of function. It fiys the sleek 'premium' Surface Pro ethos but, at a price.
I've been using a Logitech G403 (wired) for the last few years, great mouse!
Standard Logitech - two button mouse with a wheel.
Its on a USB-cable - so I don't have to fiddle with batteries - and it doesn't get lost.
An Evoluent vertical mouse (wired). Because my right wrist is knackered, due to cycling accidents many years ago.
G700s, had it a while now..
Logitech M570 trackball. I was getting RSI with a standard mouse and this cured it a few years ago. With the limited space I have on my desk (through choice, I'd just clutter a larger desk), it works for me.
SteelSeries Sensei but since they updated their software to the bloated GG I'd never buy one again, i don't want 250Mb worth of instal, attempts to get me to sign-up to an account, capture software, or a store in a program just to configure a blooming mouse.
I have 2 mice permanentley connected depending on what im doing.
Glorious model D, Really good lightweight mouse for online fps and such.
Razer Basilisk (copy of logitech G502) Okish still quite light for a mouse with 11 buttons, for all offline slower paced games.
I'm still using a Logitech MX518 (original) on my desktop while my laptop sports my old MX510 when I need to use a mouse on it. I don't care for wireless mice, batteries/recharging? and possible lag (albeit under some very specific circumstances) no thanks.
And your rating?Quote:

I love all the extra buttons, and how I can just go wireless by unplugging the charging cable (which can use any standard micro USB, if you happen to lose it or need an extra one). Lights are minimal and kept to just red indicators for the five profiles, and green for the battery level.
It has a scroll wheel clutch too, which makes whizzing up and down long websites or scanning through documents a breeze.
Score - 8/10
Needs more buttons, and I'm not a massive fan of the thumb indent on the side, as I have wide hands that need filling. I also put some Sugru on the off-side to support the third finger.
Work - Roccat Kova +
Another where I picked up the wrong box, again at the same shop. I meant to grab the much taller Kone, but this one is surprisingly comfortable despite being very low profile.
It programs the mouse directly, so if you only need one setup, you can ditch the config software with the macho voice that announces your profile changes. It does have lights, but they're optional. The rubber coating does get a bit sticky after several years, but we are talking about 8-9 years of 8hrs daily use.
Score - 6/10
Ambidextrous, but the off-side buttons (for either hand) are easily triggered, which is annoying.
Working From Home - Coolermaster Storm Inferno
They don't make this one any more, which is a shame as it was cheap but still very good. Nice and wide, very hand-filling, several extra buttons, programmable, optional LED lights and patterns. Nice wide scroll wheel.
Score - 7/10
More buttons, as always. Software is a bit naff. No RGB as such, but does have multiple colours.
Corsair M65 pro, works well for my needs, I use the sniper button to decrease DPI which is good for fine adjustments (photo/video editing).
roccat kain that came paired with the keyboard ( vulcan 120 )
TBH neither is impressing i dont think i will get a mechanical keyboard again, the mouse well it work but i think would have to replace it is someone made a interesting game, fortunately no one make games worthy of my time or money.
Just switched from an old Gigabyte M6980x to an Oversteel Magnox which I found on Amazon for under 30 euros and I must say it's amazing. Overkill 16000 dpi, fully customizable buttons and understated RGB lighting which you can actually turn off. Though a little small for my big hands it is by far the best mouse I ever had and a bargain as well. So if you're on hunt for a budget mouse with great specs I highly recommend it. (Disclaimer: I'm not paid to advertise but I like good stuff that is cheap :D)
MX Master, not sure I'd pick it again though. The scroll wheel 'autoswitch' mechanism is prone to breaking (I didn't like the click so disabled that and just went smooth anyway) and the battery life is shockingly bad (happened shortly after warranty) and now basically lives on the charging cable. Everything else is still working so holding off for as long as possible.
Probably going back to MS mice because they've all lasted longer than the logitech one did.
Also have wacom tablets for graphics work and a 3D Connexion device for 3D which is sometimes listed under mice (it's not really a mouse)
Corsair harpoon here , pleanty quick enough for me and lasts about 2 years a pop before you wear off the side grips.
I find thats the real factor in picking a mouse it will work for years and years but the grips wear out.
Razer Mamba Elite.
It's my second Razer mouse (old one still works, was just getting a bit "worn"). Great mouse, fits my size of hand perfectly and is great for gaming. Never had an issue with the software side of things either, like some people seem to enjoy complaining about.
Logitech MX Master 3 and G Pro
Mainly, the Master 3 though - it works well with the MX Keys keyboard and I switch between three PCs a lot.
Haven't used a mouse going on about 10 years. Have ThinkPad laptops and a compact keyboard for other use. I use a trackpoint across the board.
I have had loads of mice over the years, my current one is a Razer Naga Trinity, nice mouse but the ability to change side panels is a bit of a novelty rather than a necessity. The one with 12 buttons is just plain wierd. Tried using it in Diablo 3, it did not go well.
Razer Deathadder v2 (wired).
It's got to be one of the best gaming mice out there. Just love it.
Logitech Anywhere 3. Had the Performance MX mouse before.
I only use a Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical. They stopped making them years ago so its getting really hard to find any.
My main mouse is an Advent A6BWRD16 wired that I picked up from PC World.
My other PCs generally have Microsoft Basic wired optical mice.
I'd rate both as decent. Two buttons, a scroll wheel, and decent tracking are all I need.
I'm using a very basic Logitech M100 wired mouse. It's nothing fancy, but it does the job for me, and isn't too expensive. I'm not interested in disco lights on a mouse or millions of buttons.
Microsoft intellimouse classic. Modern take on the best mouse of the 90's. Last one (original from the 90's) lasted me 20 years, so have bought 3 more to see me out. Have tried various other brands over the last 3 decades, but this is the best for me and the one I always go back to.
Razer Mamba Hyperflux + Firefly
It's wireless but requires no charging, nice and lightweight, lovely RGB lighting, rate it very highly.
I’ve been using a Razer DeathAdder Elite for the last 4 years with my main/gaming PC & a Logitech M235 wireless mouse with my media PC since May 2020. No complaints from either but it took me a while to get used to the DeathAdder Elite after my CM Storm Inferno mouse died.
A computer mouse.
Tried one I saw scurrying around,and apparently it didn't like me trying to plug its tail into the USB port.
Logitech G900. The battery is starting to show its age (4 years) so I have a new one and feet on order.
Steel Series Rival 100. Cheap, responsive, light and comfortable. Wired. cant stand wireless. too heavy.
Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed love the fact has no silly rgb and big plus is AA battery which i always have lying around.
Only negative is that mouse does not work well in the uefi bios, its like the cursor is stuck in treacle. I have to use keyboard which is no biggy but worth mentioning if like me you like to tinker.
Logitech M590 wireless silent mouse which the wife bought for me because she couldn't stand the sound my old mouse clicking when she was watching TV!
Original Razer Lachesis.
I needed an ambidextrous mouse back when I used to regularly swap it between hands, to keep rsi at bay.
It's over 10 years old now and the only issue that I have ever had was when the rubbery skin on the top started wearing off - so I stripped it back to the base plastic using some alcohol.
X7 XL-750BK ... not bad, but I doubt it will endure anywhere remotely near to Microsoft Intellimouse Optical that served me faithfully close to 20yrs.
Always wired, not friend of batteries of any kind.
Logitech G703. I can use wired or wireless. Great mouse great value!
ASUS ROG Chakram - It's lovely and smooth and lasts a good while on charge with no lag. I don't really use the joystick at all but it's a damn fine mouse.
Razer Naga Trinity at the moment. This is my third naga mouse that i've owned over the years, i found once i got used to the 12 button grid of buttons under my thumb i couldn't go back to a regular mouse :)
EDIT: I should mention that i had to replace the microswitches a while back (random double-click when you click once issue, apparently affected a lot of brands of mice though)
Been using Roccat for years, they work compared to Razer that can't handle the stress at all..... if Roccat start failign I think it wouldbe Logitech next.
WOW where I start? In my mouse draw, yes you heard it mouse. I have all logtitech beginning with MX518, G9x, Master3, GS500s x 2, G502 hero, G203 and the G703 wireless. Loads of spare feet for them all. Logitech customer service has being brilliant with me twice and I find they have the best software hence why I only use them.
Previously Logitech G602, now since the begining of the pandemic and work from home been using the Logitech MX Master (the original one, amazon branded cheaper edition) that previously was always at the office.
Now with return to offices I'll buy another MX Master (probably a newer version but will depend on available sales) to have one at the office and one at home.
For gaming I might buy a gaming mouse (G604, G Pro or Model O maybe) at some point in the future although I don't play anywhere near competitively enough for the latency and acceleration on the MX Master to make a difference
Logitech G203 Lightsync.
It's comfortable and has the layout of buttons that I want along with moving smoothly, so it does the job well.
Logistics all round. G402 fury x2 (personal pc plus work pc). M570 trackball (also work pc so I can rest wrist occasionally). Mx anywhere 2 (laptop). All bar one g402 are amazon warehouse returns/damage box units. Great way to get a high end mouse for ~£20. All have been perfect.
My mouse is so old it keeps running off!
----------------------------------------------
Corsair M65 RGB Elite in white. Partly because it fits in with the aesthetics of my build etc, and partly for the M65 in its name.
HyperX Pulsefire FPS, by Kingston.
Good fit for my hand, the old Microsoft Wheel mouse was the previous best.
Back button is easy to use, and the Wheel to scroll or click is great.
When doing detailed editing the ability to change the movement speed/resolution is very useful as well.
Logitech MX Master (the original one). Which replaced a much loved, weighted, tweaked, repainted and endlessly used MS Intellimouse Explorer Wireless.
Love the Logitech - and the versatility of the extra buttons and Options. Obvious replacement would be either another one, or an MX Master 3 if and when the need comes, but as things stand, this one is still giving good battery life after four years of very heavy use, and hasn't suffered the problem with the wheel that was common enough to have YT videos showing how to fix.
asus ROG Chakram
All my mice are Logitech wireless MX of various types. I cannot remember the model numbers as all will be over 6 or 7 years old. The PC's mouse is a full size Master I think. The laptops is a medium sized and the surface has a tiny mini mouse. Not that I use the mouse with the surface that often.
I have had to buy a number of the Unifying recivers over the years which is a bit annoying.
I'm very surprised to see that, of all those who have responded so far, I am the only one using a vertical mouse.
If you have hand or wrist problems, leading to pain when using a mouse, a vertical is very well worth trying and, there are now many different options, not all expensive.
logitech g602
last ages on 2 aa batteries
model o
Logitech MX518. Quite old now but still usable after removing the sticky rubberised finish with isopropyl alcohol.
Trackballs are usually cheaper. And left-handed people can use them.Quote:

I'm using vertical mouse, can't use normal ones, painfull.

Currently using a Logitech G703. It's fine, and normally would get a 6/10 but it supports Logitech's Powerplay mousepad setup, which I've bought. So I'm using the mouse wirelessly and it charges inductively just by moving it across the mousepad, which raises the score to 8/10.
I wish it had the features and extra buttons of the wired Roccat Kone XTD I bought years ago that I left behind in the UK (which I'd score 8/10) but the freedom of a wireless mouse that never needs charging is such a bonus I can't ignore the benefits of it.

The cheapest wireless one I could find that was a brand name. Currently, a Logitech M170,it was around £5 and the battery lasts for ages, it's comfortable and works on pretty much any surface! No complaints here!
MX Master 2 at work, MX Master 3 at home, my wife's still using the mx518 I bought years ago...
I'm using the ADX M0620 which can be had for £30 from Currys and is almost identical to the Glorious Model O. I've no idea what sensor it uses, but I'm very happy with it, 12 months so far and going strong.
Comparison between the two:

While I do have wrist problems, they're more the twisty kind and the can't-keep-punching-people-in-the-face kind. I can still use a mouse without issue, hence no vertical mouse.Quote:

Original Logitech G502 mice. I've heard current models aren't so good due to poor quality switches that miss clicks or simply break?
SteelSeries Kana v2. I mouse left handed at home (and right handed at work!), so I needed a good, solid mouse that could still be mousebidextrous. It's a wonderful, wonderful mouse in that it's solid, quite sensitive on the top setting and doesn't have any useless cruft on it or need special drivers.
G703 wireless for the fun stuff, and an old Performance MX for work.
Never going back to wired, too much of a hassle.
Use two different mice, Logitech MX Ergo & Logitech G305.
Desoldered the G305 switches to be silent and plan to do the same with the MX Ergo soon™
Logitech G400
Logitech M325. A nice basic wireless mouse. Good battery life and they take a beating; if I drop my mouse on the floor I don't have to worry that it won't work after I pick it up (possibly after reseating the battery).
Glorious Model O. It's basically a Finalmouse without the ridiculous marketing department and intentionally-designed scarcity. Cheap but works well when it works. Longevity isn't the greatest but it's better than Razer of course.
G Pro Wireless, MX518 v.2 (2008), G305, G Pro v.1
I know, I have too many PCs around.
Microsoft Comfort mouse 6000 for business, Dell freebies :)
I'd like to post a comment I got a Roccat Kone XTD mouse and after a year it became a grubby mess. The reason - the bloomin awful rubber coating(1) on the mouse. I was pretty miffed as surely this is the kind of thing that should have been spotted before choosing the coating. I did ring a support line but was told as it was out of warranty they wouldnt replace it. It was something like seventy quid so I was most agggrieved.
(1) It feels very silky to touch, almost like fabric in case you want to avoid similar. In my case it broke down into the shiny plastic surface of the mouse but sporadically, so the mouse ended up mottled and (oddly) the rubber coating isnt that easy to remove so I couldn't remove it all.
razer taipan battlefield 4 edition.works great for its years.still pretty comfy
Will second that. Got an MX vertical for my other half a few years ago and she loves it. Pretty much instantly sorted some comfort/posture issues she was having.Quote:

It's not even a reaction to skin oils/use either - I got a barely used (but very old) Logitech steering wheel out of the cupboard a few years ago to find the soft touch panels had almost literally melted off in the box. MS Intellimouse Explorer scroll wheel outer mouldings used to do it too.Quote:

They're both good. I absolutely loved the 2 when I got it, and only got the 3 cos I kept forgetting to take my mouse into work on office days, and had some vouchers to use. The 3 is just a tiny bit more ergonomic and a tiny bit better built. If I didn't have the two to compare, I wouldn't know any different. They're both great, but the 3 is just that bit greater.Quote:

:D
Razer Naga Pro (Rating: Has all the functions I need! so 10/10). Before that was using the Logitech G502, which is what I use for work now. I love the button that free the scroll wheel lock, good for scrolling quickly through emails. I accidently click that on the Naga sometimes, but all that does is change the DPI!
I had the Corsair M95 years back, and liked it, but the scroll wheel stopped working... then ended up using a basic mouse till the G502.
Roccat Kova at home, bog standard AmazonBasics Bluetooth one for the work laptop.
Logitech M185 which is a bit hard to use for graphic design, so I will have to change it with another one where you can adjust the speed of movement etc.
But if it is not for graphic design, I am very happy with my logitehc
