PC Peripherals What wireless mouse is everyone using and how long have you been using it?

Using Logitech M235 since last 8-9 years, but within first 3 yrs. warranty, 2 times did RMA for Double Click issue, every time got NEW MOUSE from Brand.

Like MS, I think, Logitech sooner or later, STOP producing cheap/economical mice below 1k and subsequently keep moving to premium mouse and that's why Logitech not interested in addressing Double Click Issue, it also reduce some mouse warranty to 1 year only.

Using Logi M720 Triathlon since 2019. First one lasted roughly 3 years. And bought the same one, mainly because of the size (it's medium, fits my grip) and it can connect to max 3 devices. I use two laptops (office+home) with a similar Logi keyboard K850 and connected to same monitor.
I don't game, just normal office + personal browsing.

Thanks everyone for your replies. Seeing a lot of Orochi reccos. Might try that.

And yes, replacing the switch is something that is possible. But like I said, I want to buy something and not have to worry about it. Seems buying a budget wireless off the shelf and running it for 4-5 years no problem is still a pipe dream.

And yes, that MS Sidewinder would have been great. Vaguely recall reading good stuff about it. IIRC they had a whole sidewinder peripheral range, including joysticks.

Also, someone was asking about environment, yah my area is a little dusty but it's always been that way. Don't understand why these modern mice can't handle what their older counterparts could.

Planned obsolescence is very real it seems.

yeah that, I didn't replace the switches in the Orochi V2 because they went bad, but just like you I wanted something more reliable (and the GM 8.0 switches just feel better than the stock ones on my opinion)

Been using it for about an year or so and it's been great so far

Any decent wireless mouse without those scrappy switches that logi uses which also has a aa/aaa etc removable battery? I got a g304 and was looking into a replacement. I don't mind paying extra as long as it's wireless, durable and with removable battery
 
Contrary to your experience, I've had 3-4 Logitech mice so far and even though I was also worried seeing the double-click issues mentioned in reviews, I've thankfully never experienced these issues. I've used an MX Master 2S in the past which was bulky but was very interesting in terms of feature set. It did develop one issue with the thumb click but I could quickly disassemble and fix it myself. I don't use it anymore since it feels too bulky for day-to-day use. I also love the G102 since it's cheap, light and does the job for most of my gaming and work needs but it sits as a backup mouse now. For PC, I'm daily driving the G Pro X Superlight which is by far my most favorite mouse since it's insanely lightweight, fast, wireless and responsive. After using that, I found it hard going back to bulkier mouse options. It also cups my palm very well and I prefer that grip over anything else. I really wished they made like a fusion between G Pro X and the MX Master series—that'd be the ultimate for me.

I also just unboxed an MX Anywhere 3S for my macOS productivity setup since it's lighter and I get the speed scrolling that I love about the MX series.

Aren't there any other reliable options apart from Logitech/Razer when it comes to mice?
Keyboards have so many microbrands that surpass the quality of Logitech/Razer duopoly.

Lamzu and Darmoshark make some pretty decent mice, a Lamzu Atlantis would've been my next pick if the Orochi stopped working someday

From this and some other replies, it seems the non-gaming branded mice are the way to go. Other than the Superlight.

Yah this is also partially why I started this thread. Some people mentioned Portronics and some other cheaper brands but somehow I don't trust these Indian-but-actually-Chinese brands. Though trusting 'international' brands like Logitech and Razer hasn't got me much either in this case.

no replaceable battery which is my biggest gripe with it

Yeah, they're definitely not as easily replaceable as some of the more popular mice

But on the bright side, in case the battery does go bad, it shouldn't be too difficult to replace, from what I know the battery uses a Standard JST connector
 
Decade ago, Logitech was the go-to brand but since they started replacing the Japanese Omron switches with the Chinese ones 4-5 years ago, and reduced the warranty from 3 years for all mice to 1-2 years for most, I decided to no longer support the company as it was a planned obsolescence move and an unethical one at that.

The Asus mice are a good replacment as they specifically provide socket switches that can be easily replaced, taking a swipe at Logitech. However, their scroll wheel issues are well documented.

Been using the Razer Deathadder v2 Pro for a year now as I need a full sized mouse that I can also use for gaming and it has been working well for the time being. Like the optical switches more than the mechanical ones.
 
There are imported models of the VGN R1 series available here. Whether the website is trustworthy or not, I'm not too sure, but there were a few people from the IndianGaming subreddit who found it legit. I think R1 is the best wireless mouse under 8k, barring any productivity based mice.

There is unfortunately a very dry mouse market here, compared to the US, which has tons of gaming mice brands. They have access to Ali express as well, which has lots of Chinese clones of popular mice that surpass them in quality as well.

Edit: there are imported lamzu mice for about 8k here as well

nah, the main drawback for me is I cant swap batteries on the fly, I have a bunch of rechargeable AA batteries that I keep around for my mouse/other peripherals and just swap them out whenever the charge runs low, thats the main reason for me to buy wireless mice, I hate wires on my table with a passion, and having to plug in your mouse every 3 days is just a hassle, I might as well buy wired

Never heard of the VGN. Googled and found one or two reviews on Reddit. But none are long-term. Are they reliable?

Had Logitech Pebble serve me 5years and before it started with double click issue.

Currently using Razer Basilisk X Hyperspeed. Love the ergonomics, finding it difficult to replace it with anything else.

suffer from the same double clicking issue or switches not clicking, any tutorials on replacement buttons for logitech and soldering?

You can check this video tutorial for a G304. The disassembly process may be slightly different depending on the mouse but the soldering process is the same. Alternatively, you can just search for your mouse model + switch replacement on YouTube and you should get relevant results.

Definitely. On paper, it's got pretty good specs and is very lightweight, so it'll be easier on the hand compared to something like the G304. Boardzy (he's the golden standard for reviews in the mouse industry) had nothing but praises for it as well. His review's here.

I personally de solder the switches from any cheap office mouse (the ones that cost Rs 100), and spray a bit of WD 40 onto the switches. For some extra measure, I disassemble the switches and reassemble them again without changing anything. I found this to reduce the switch's actuation force, and it makes it really good to click.

I tried this and slapped some office mouse switches onto a cheap chinese gaming mouse I used to have and tbh, I've found them much more satisfying to click than the switches on my Razer Viper Mini.
