I used to look around reddit for product suggestions, reddit sucks and I don’t trust the bias anymore due to gorilla marketing.

I figured I could pop the question here, maybe help drive some lemmy traffic!

Any mouse suggestions? Wireless is preferred and the main use case is general desktop. I do play games with it but I play single player rpgs, so it doesn’t need competitive specs.

If you know of a mouse that doesn’t meet the criteria post it anyway, just add the different use case!

Update: Ended up getting the Logitech Master mx 3s, been using at work and home. Has 100% held up to the hype. Big fan of the side scroll and the main mouse wheel can go kinda into continuous mode if you flick it harder. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after 3 days it’s become very intuitive. I also like the multi device connection ability, great for home/office use. Gaming is also just fine (casual gaming specifically).

Cons: No options+ app for Linux, Solaar flatpak works pretty well but I haven’t been able to reprogram the side wheel yet. This one is super superficial and not at all a deal breaker but it bugs me that the dongle doesn’t have a storage spot in the mouse. An internal storage spot would make going from work and back better, I’ve ordered a $10 travel case for it so again it’s nbd.

Also leaks of a Logitech Master 4 source may indicate a new model release this year. Fingers crossed the new button isn’t AI bs.

    I am a big fan of the vertical mouse. Currently using the Logitech Lift and happy with it. I’m sure there are other ones that are great too but this is just what I’m using.

      I was strongly considering this, I’ve toyed with cheap vertical clones but I’m very curious to try the real deal!

      I’m on the vertical train, too, for reasons beyond my control and quite physically uncomfortable, unfortunately.

      My current choice to split the difference between sore wrists and crappy performance is the Razer Pro Click V2 Vertical. I wasn’t sure about the shape at first, but I got used to it super fast and it’s really comfy and fast enough for gaming.

      Came here to vote for the Lift and also ask whatcha got against gorillas?

      All my bros in primate marketing were saddened by your comment.

      Vertical mice do take a day or two to get used to for gaming, I kept pushing the thing sideways very slightly when clicking

        Anker makes a good basic vertical mouse for anyone looking to try them before going the spendy route. I alternate between it and a Logitech MX Master.

          The anker one i had wasn’t really vertical, like angled halfway. I prefer vertical handshake position mouse for my wrist pain, but yes evoluent is more expensive
