For almost 2 years I've just been blowing air under G502 switches in order to temporary fix its infamous double click issue while playing FPS games and I finally can't take it anymore. I really want to get a mouse which isn't Logitech because of there use of this terrible switch and after hearing next G502X will be using the same switch I finally gave up any hope I had for this company.

The dimensions of my hands are 19cm/7.5 inch length and 10cm/ 3.9 inch width and I use fingertip grip while playing FPS games. I've only used ergo mouse with thumb ledges my entire life but I'm open to use ambidextrous mouse without thumb ledges.

I've been leaning towards buying Razer Basilisk v3 because of how similar it is to G502 but I don't know if its scroll wheel will last long because Razer is using electronically activated scroll wheel free spin. I'm worried that if I use free spin mode often there's a chance of breaking scroll wheel, and also because there scroll wheel is made out of plastic and they are using some sort of a lock to completely stop scroll wheel to free spin there might be a chance of scroll wheel loosing its teeth overtime as well.

Some people I talked to recommended me to get HyperX Pulsefire Haste because this mouse is made specifically for fingertip grip but then I heard stories of it having DPI deviation which still hasn't completely fixed to this day and bad connectivity issue in the future because of its not so durable cable. Here's the link to that post.

I believe I originally had your same Logitech mouse and encountered problems (wasn't the double click). I use a Basilisk v2 now and they've felt pretty similar. The one thing I would make note of is that Razer has a lot of weird software and updates which can get a little bit annoying.
