Well then probably stick with G304 as most of the new mouse are having in-built batteries these days. Maybe looks at the G309, I find it a bit expensive for what it offers though.
PC Peripherals Suggestion for Wireless Keyboard with mouse combo for 5000 ₹

- Start date
main reason to move away from logi is their use of shitty switches despite charging a premium for their mice, and yeah G309 is way overpriced currently and I dont trust logi's "hybrid mechanical+optical switches" bullshit

Yea the switches have been a long issues, but because of that the repairability has been pretty easy for G304. Can't think of any better options apart from Razer.
Probably take a look at Kreo Chimera only. It has swappable switches, though it has a built-in battery it'll probably last longer than Logi switches atleast, lol.
I really wish Kreo considers launching a G304/Orochi V2 rival, I'll be the first one to buy one lol, I dont know what happened but all the mouse communities these days are obsessed with weight at the expense of utility, like I get it, pro players def can use less weight but bruh, your fat fingers aint gonna notice shit whether the mouse weight is 60g or 80g,

There is, it's the chimera
lol, right. Weight saving is one major reason for switching to built-in Li-ion batteries, brands don't want to add 10gms by adding compatibility for external AA or AAA. Additionally of course to bind players into buying new mouse every 2 years and creating more e-waste.
I'm pretty sure there must be some underdog guy or start-up who are 3D printing a perfect mouse for a decent price, I'm just not aware of them.
no replaceable battery
nah, its definitely the community, just look at any post in r/MouseReview where the OP asks for a mouse replaceable battery or just search for G309. peeps say you can easily replace the battery yourself, but i aint disassembling my mouse to swap out batteries,

Thanks for your suggestions, i prefer to use only 1 single Dongle with both keyboard + mouse.
I have made excellent machine based on your suggestions from reddit + Asus laptop and very happy with those
So Logitech mk540 meets all my requirements + budget
MK850 is needed only if switching simultaneously between 2 to 3 different devices, else same as mk540?

My setup
@altair21 @Futureized I have a G304 for sale here https://techenclave.com/threads/fs-...logitech-razer-sennheiser-fiio-part-1.221889/
i also have a logitech k220 wireless mouse and keyboard combo, both have replaceable cell but i did not put it for sale as im using it currently as backup. The keyboard is good for the price but the mice in this k220 combo (both share/use the same wireless dongle) is heavy (it takes double aa batteries lol) .. maybe try getting this in sale and keep it as backup

Yup pretty much and MK850 probably having better quality. Another difference I noticed was 3 additional side buttons on the mouse.
But not worth spending 2.5-3K more. So, MK540 is still a better choice.

Found it little more less priced here as well https://www.easyshoppi.com/product/logitech-mk540-advanced/
Both above sellers are from Chandigarh.
Are there some fancy combo options or 2 different/SEPERATE devices which are very good on performance and aesthetic, if budget is increased to 8000?

Easyshoppie one is OOS. Was it available when you looking?
You can do 5K + 3K for keeb and mouse. With that you can make many options of your choice then. You can also adjust budget to give priority between either of them as well.

Eh skip the MK295, ur already using MK540 so that'll be downgrade.
For flashy & colourful the immediate options I can think of right now is Ninjadog Varna Pro + Kreo Chimera totalling at 6.5K. Won't spend above it. I have recommended these before too. Again the options are endless so you might need to do your own research to see what you exactly want. You can also go with Orochi V2, Deathadder V2 X, Katar Pro, HyperX Pulsefire and on the keyboard side a bunch of options from Red Dragon, Cosmic byte, Royal Kludge etc.
Yea it does gets confusing the more you see.

Productivity matters more with a proper keyboard and mouse, since already used it (it's soo far amazing)
Just not going for MK850 as do not require to manage multiple devices
