Mouse recommendations, anyone? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

Rocking mine since Sep 2015 approx 25k hours. Had to replace the glide pads with some from china, the thumb rest is rubbed through, scroll wheel has some corrosion and there is no profile left on the right side rubber but technically it's still working fine.

And you don't need to have the software on all the time, just save the config on the mouse.

similar things happening to my g502 as well, seems like fingers/gunk eats away the side grips. They have noticeable fingertip shaped cavities :D

I'm pretty sure the rest of the mouse will outlive the rubber parts by years. If it gets really disgusting, I'll probably just tear off the rubber and replace it with leather.

Better ergonomics xD
