I have a Mastermouse MM530 by Cooler Master at the moment, bought on the basis of its “sturdy” build, but the mouse wheel has been playing up for a while now, occasionally scrolling down when I’m in fact scrolling up.
I’m not even looking for a gaming mouse, just a decent mouse with a clickable scroll wheel. More buttons is nice, but not needed. Any tips?
Logitech G305 that’s still going after buying it about 5 years ago. But as others have said it’s not gonna be BIFL.
Some tips though:
Cables. Avoid them. They’re the first thing to break on most of these because the copper wires snap from bending. If you’re worried about latency then get one with a 2.4Ghz wireless mode, which will have similar latency to a wire. Side note, replaceable wires can work here i spose!
Batteries. Wireless mice will of course need a battery, but ones which take AA or AAA are best since you won’t be out of pocket if the battery dies and you can’t find replacements.
Rubber. Avoid. It’ll likely break down from your hand oils before the mouse does, leaving you with a sticky mouse which wont be fun to use.
Holes. Avoid. Sure it makes the mouse “lightweight” but it’ll also be harder to avoid dust and other grime getting into sensitive parts.
