Mouse stopped working after minimal use... searching for alternatives to consider
Mouse stopped working after minimal use... searching for alternatives to consider
The mouse for my gaming PC has stopped working, even though it was used lightly. The left-click button no longer functions, and I haven't experienced mechanical issues with a mouse before (especially since they switched to laser). Online reports suggest this is typical for this model. For durability, I want to focus on models that last longer under light use. I plan to play a lot over the next few weeks and then less frequently. I need advice on which models others have used successfully or recommend avoiding those that wear out quickly. Thanks!
I’m still using my original Razor Deathadder from about 2007. The only problem I’ve faced is with the plastic button that presses the micro switch—it’s worn out. I took it apart, applied a bit of super glue to the tab, and filed it smooth. It’s been that way for over ten years and still working well.
At work, I use a Deathadder Chroma, doing IT tasks for more than eight hours a day at my desk. This reminds me I should get new pads for the bottom since they’re wearing out quickly.
My laptop is an Asus ROG Gladius II, which isn’t used as much but has been reliable for three years.
I also tried a Logitech G903 with the powerplay wireless charging mat, but it had problems—clicking and dragging would loosen the click or cause double clicks, whether it was connected wirelessly or plugged in.
Which model of mouse was it? How much are you prepared to invest?
there are numerous choices for mouse types these days.
you should be more precise about the layout and features you need.
i've been using the Logitech G600 for several years now, and it's the top choice i've ever tried.
over the past decade, i've examined around 100 different models, and this remains my preferred option.
Logitech G203...it might not be the top choice, but it worked for a casual gaming setup. For future upgrades...I'm not sure. If others notice durability problems with budget gaming mice, I'll invest more.
This might seem counterintuitive, but premium Chinese mice (not the cheap gaming ones) are actually quite solid since they invest most of your spending into the product rather than just the brand name. For those on a tighter budget, the Darmoshark M3 is a great choice, and if you have more to spend, the Lamzu Atlantis is a solid alternative.
I have used two G500 and one G5 Logitech mice for about six years now. The current model is a wired G502 Hero in black. When it begins to malfunction, I’ll likely replace it with another. The Corsair Glaive fits my hand more comfortably than the others, though it started having issues after a few years—you might find a better option there. The 502 is often discounted, so compare prices if you decide to switch. It’s currently on sale at Best Buy for 35.99 USD. I also tried a Corsair M65, but it didn’t fit well and caused my hand to cramp after an hour, so I went with the 502 instead; it works well if it matches your hand size and style.
