Question Buying A New Mouse.

[fiftyseven57]

My Previous Mouse Was a Razer DeathAdder V2 (Only Click Works And Scroll But the Cursor Dont Move).

I was looking to buy a new mouse. I've decided between the following:

Logitech G502 Hero

Are there any other better options? I would just like another more credible opinion on it. Personally, I am inclined toward Asus.

I don't have any experience with Asus mice, but I have the G502 Hero and have been happy with it. I've always used heavier mice and the last time I was in the market it was basically the only choice so I was a bit leery at first. Both the software and mouse itself have worked well.

edit: forgot to add I've had it for about 2 years now

I go through mice too quickly to have ever purchased a 'fancy/gaming' version. So long as the ergo is ok for the left hand I don't mind much. I do like to find the ones with the forward and back buttons IF they work lefty. Most mice are right handed.

Anywho, with that said my current Keyboard and Mouse are Logitech multi device and have stood up well so far. When I purchase the cheapest keyboard mouse combo I can find is the wired Logitech MK120. They last pretty well for the cost and super easy to replace cheaply when they go. Mostly that is the letters wear off the keyboard and the mouse quits left clicking.

Realizing this isn't any specific help about the mouse, but to say that I trust Logitech for most of their products and price/feature point.

Been obsessed with Logitech G305 for a while. Relatively cheap wireless gaming mouse. Doesn't have lefty forward and back buttons, but is symmetrical otherwise, so makes a good option for switching between hands.

So you might want to look into the Logitech Wireless G Pro. It is a true lefty/righty mouse. Been meaning to pick one up myself and finally retire my old Steel Series Sensei.

I have quite small hands, so ergonomic mice tend not to fit my hand all that well.


As for the OP, if you like ergonomic mice, I think the 502 is a fine choice. Not seen or heard much about ASUS gaming peripherals.

First Of all thanks a lot for replying & sharing your experience with Logitech. Any issues during 2 years of usage?

I think when it comes to gaming mice most people go toward Logitech or Razer over other brands. Is that correct?

I am using the M585 right now. I found it really cheap on Amazon Warehouse as a refurb. It has a deep thumbwell on it and initially considered returning it. After I used it a minute I came around to it and use the forward/back buttons with my ring finger. My favorite mouse is actually the Microsoft wireless ergo model. It isn't available as muti-device.

These days I think that is true for higher end purchases. Razer was more popular back in the early to late 2000s. But Microsoft was also a contender in those days. There are so many 'gaming' mice available for under twenty dollars, and they are probably just fine in terms of sensors. It would be switch quality that I would be worried about. But even then, Omron makes quite the range.

Steel Series is still sold at BestBuy as premium offering, so they still have a pretty big following. They made a high end mouse for people like me that didn't like the ergonomic offerings from all the other companies. Mine is over ten years old, if not more. Even Logitech abandoned simple shapes for a while. The non-ergonomic mice all became the cheap portable ones. My favorite Logitech shape is this one, which you can still get new old stock (which I did twice when it was more like $80)

Amazon.com

There was also a Dell bluetooth version that I still carry around. Problem is the rubber like material they used has started to turn to sticky gum.

Logitech seem to have turned around once they started selling their 'lightspeed' wireless peripherals and went back to more basic shapes.

But I have two G305, I use them for work and my media PC.

I had that experience where the rubberized stuff they use became sticky and you just have to remove all the rubber. How is your Logitech Mouse working? Any issues?

Yes, best method is to take baking soda and a dish rag and just rub it all off. The old media play mice had the rubber as kind of part of the body, so it doesn't work as well there. But I wore out the 'switches' on three of them. Not the switch that was wearing out, but the plastic tabs on the underside of the mouse buttons. They would develop a slight angle and would slip past the switch and cause multiple clicks. No real reliable repair method I could ever come up with.

G305 I have are about 3 and 4 years old. My work one probably needs to be replaced soonish. Logitech logo is almost gone and it has started making some squeaking noises (hah!) when the left click is manipulated without clicking (ie handling it) and the left click is noticeably looser than the right click.

But that is like 40+ hours a week doing office work. Which for me means a lot of clicking.

If you are heavy user I think you can expect to replace a mouse every 5 years at a minimum.

Agreed. Yeah, I am somewhat of a heavy user. Since my work is on Computer also. I think given the discussions and people sharing their experiences Logitech seems like a better & long-lasting option. Long-lasting and with easier-to-replace parts.

edit: Yeah i remember getting those off with baking soda and scrubbing it.

Nothing I'd consider serious. They have very small grooves in the bottom of the mouse which love to collect whatever dirt/dust etc is around, but if you clean it semi regularly and/or the surface it's on there's no issue. The only design part which I still run into some issues with is accidentally hitting the bottom of the two buttons on left click. This very rarely happens, but they're pretty big and flush with the left click so it's much easier to do than the prior ones I've had.

edit: regarding mouse brands I think Logitech and Razer are most commonly referred to because of how long they've been around constantly in the market with consistent quality

Yeah. So basic maintenance. I have big hands and I use a palm grip. Yeah, they do have more experience and consistency when it comes to it. Thanks for clearing out the doubts. I appreciate it.
