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.

I also have a G502 (mine is a Hero). I've had it for about 2 years and I'm pretty happy with it.

Upsides: I really like the little "sled" on the left for your thumb to ride on. I've never had this on any other mouse. Variable weight.

Only downside is that I sometimes bump the higher left side button on my kb when I'm not careful. This changes the DPI and screws me up pretty bad, esp. in games. Easy to undo with another button, but placement of that button is not ideal with my kb. More desk space could solve this.

Glad to hear its durable. Maybe I should buy another...

When I was on Windows, I had a profile for Final Fantasy XIV where the DPI-up and down buttons were bound to macros. DPI-up did a quick about-face and backstep, which is a common maneuver for dragoons. I also used to bump it against my keyboard, often yeeting myself straight into death, but decided against changing it because that's just part of a dragoon's life.
