Bluetooth doesn't work on my Razr mouse anymore and my brother has also had bad charging issues with his Razr. Thinking of switching to a different brand, so what do you all use?

I use logitech g503 (wired) since 2019. I had to replace switch/clicker under right mouse button. It is still pretty decent mouse tbh.

I had to replace switch/clicker under right mouse button.

I have a similar model to this and while they do go for pretty cheap and are decent quality, be aware you'll need to replace switches after like 2-3 years of use. Mine also had issues with both left and right click and replacing the switches wasn't as easy as I'd liked.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Same with my g502 with 2 years of use. The right switch being the problem in my case. And I'm not that inclined to replace the switch.

The sensor is great, but quality of the switches not so much.

I've also done this with my Logitech mice. They work well otherwise.

I'll jump in here to ask. Does anyone have a good replacement for an old MMO mouse with 12 thumb buttons.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I use the corsair scimitar rgb had it for ~5 years now with no complaint.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've had three of them, without fail after a year the scroll wheel just stops working. Not gonna say I probably didn't overuse it, I love making sure I'm zoomed out, especially with most games tendency to zoom in whenever it's horribly inconvenient, but it seemed to stretch incredulity with how much they just decided to stop scrolling with multiple iterations.

I've been loving my Steel Series Aerox 9 wireless. I got it on amazon for 30% off, because the standard price is pretty steep. I've only had it for about a month now so I can't talk to longevity but I haven't had any complaints yet

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Logitech usually has something good, like the G502 series. I heard decent stuff about Steelseries, but haven't reid them. I bought Roccat Kone a while back because they supported Linux drivers and it lasted a long time and was surprisingly good. It too eventually broke though, just like any gaming mouse.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Loving my Roccat Burst Pro for the past 6-9 months

G502 wireless

[–] starrox 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very satisfied with the logitech g50x series. Currently using a 502hero. Fits my hand perfectly, programmable, adjustable weight, unlockable scrollwheel (which I cant live without anymore) and the price is okay.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Seconding the G502. I bought mine back in 2014 and it's still going strong! My favorite mouse of all time

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I use the Corsair Dark Core rgb pro se. But that's mostly because I wanted both a thumb and pinky rest.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have had nothing but problems with Razr. I suggest one the Logitech gaming mice. I love my g900.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

G502 and just replace it every time the double click issue happens.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Its not a “gaming” mouse but its still a high quality mouse, I got the Logitech MX Vertical and it’s spectacular

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Logitech G305 is the single best budget wireless mouse ever and nothing will change my mind about it. I've had it for about a year now and my friend, who got me to buy the G305, has had his for 4-5 years.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I really like razor, when my synapse dies I'm just goma get another TBH. Also there are some really decent $20 gaming mice on amazon, just read reviews.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have a glorious model O which is decent, though I would get a G502 if I had to buy another one.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Razer are terrible for reliability, I've had a Logi Pro X Superlight for a year and it hasn't let me (or a sub) down.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

If budget isn’t an issue I’d highly recommend the G Pro Wireless / Pro X Superlight.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'll second this. I got mine after caving in to all the good reviews of it. Stupid good for a mouse, if this one ever dies, I'll buy a second one.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I been using a wired Glorious Model O 2 for two months. Zero problems.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Logitech G Pro Wireless with the Soarking Charging Dock. Normally a wired mouse fan but this mouse is top notch.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Corsair M65 Ultra has been my favorite for a while. Have a wired one for my main rig and a wireless for my laptop when I go on the road for work. The wireless one also does Bluetooth for quick connection and normal usage, but also has a dongle for lag-free gaming.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Currently using a pulsar xlite v2, best mouse I've ever had hands down, perfect fit for me!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Endgame Gear XM2we. It is the best mouse I have ever used.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Logitech G600. Yes, it's wired and a bit old but it is EXTREMELY reliable, easy to program, and VERY comfortable. It's so good that I have 5 of them; 1 that I'm using and 4 to replace it with when this one dies.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I've gone through quite a few different mmo mice, I always go back to the G600. I'm on my third mouse right now, probably should just get good enough at soldering to replace the left click button when it wears out.

I keep hoping for something spiffy to replace it but nothing does! I've gotten so used to the pinky button on the g600 that at this point any replacement would have to have that.

Thought about checking out Azeron's project cheddar mouse. But as I don't really -need- a new mouse it's a bit out of my budget.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I use Balilisks for all my computers now. None of them have failed. All of my Logitech mice fail in a year or just a little more.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Have been using a steelseries sensei type mouse for a long while now.

In my years of PC gaming i have learned that i don't need a bells and whistles on my mouse and keyboard.

For keyboard i'm using a DASkeyboard and i don't think ill ever use anything else.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

The sensei and the rival are great mice that you can't go wrong with

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I have a wireless Logitech G900 and it's not too bad, but it only has 2 thumb buttons which isn't enough for my liking. it's pretty light weight though and easy to click. Get the Logitech hub software, they used to have this different software to edit mouse buttons and it would always have a memory leak.

I used to have a wired Logitech G502 and it had 3 thumb buttons that were easy for me to press, and 2 buttons up near the edge of the mouse near your index finger. the mouse was kinda bulky, but comfortable and the amount of buttons and positions of them were awesome. I think I might have had some clicking problems though?

I also have a wireless steelseries rival 650. it has 3 mouse buttons, is heavier than the G900 and it's slightly harder to click than the G900. I have smaller hands so it's hard to find a good position to be able to press all the thumb buttons. the steelseries software for changing mouse buttons, steelseries GG, is really good and has a lot of features, even screen recording / capturing clips.

I'm looking at the wireless steelseries Aerox 5 or Aerox 9 as my next mouse, they look nice.

Xenics Titan GE wireless is the best mouse I've owned, just in front of a Ducky. Razer has their USB dongle install spyware/software every time you plug it in - so no thanks. I have a Logitech Pro that I use for travel because the left switch burned out. Easy to replace but don't want to have to do it every year.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I love the way logi mice feel, but I've had 3 die on me with a double click issue, I just can't bring myself to give them more money.

I've heard that the Xenics Titan is built well, but has abnormally high click latency, which I'm not a fan of. Right now I'm sticking with an old school Razer Deathadder wireless, but you're not wrong about their software being a cancer.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Don’t ever under any circumstances give money to Logitech, worst mouse maker I have had the misfortune in dealing with.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Go ahead and tell us the story.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I have only good experience with Logitech mice, except one time with Performance MX, but I got it replaced for a new one without issues.

I've had a G502 and G403 wireless for years now and they've been solid.

What's your experience?
