So I currently have a Sabre RGB. I like it because it has a minimalist design. I have the K95 RGB keyboard which already has 18 macro buttons so I feel like having a mouse with a ton of buttons is pretty pointless, especially since I literally use about 4 buttons on my mouse as it is, including left and right clicks, and the wheel click.
My issue is the switches (left) are going bad (double click, can't hold down the mouse button for long, etc.) so I either need to repair it or replace it altogether. I've had it a year and a half so it is within warranty still, and I don't really care to try to fix it myself.
I'm looking at some of them but I really don't know which one would suit me best.
I am mainly looking for:
1. Reliability (speed, low latency, precision, and longevity)
2. Comfort (some days I have 12-14 hour sessions this is a must! my Sabre would cramp my hand after about 3-4 hours)
3. Looks.
My main contenders are:
1. Sticking with the Sabre (cost-effective, minimalist, although not comfortable and switches aren't great as I have come to find)
2. Scimitar (very similar to the Sabre, however, will likely not use many of the macro buttons if any, same stupid switches as Sabre, probably will also cramp my hand with extended use)
3. Glaive (Looks decent, has better switches, has custom hand/thumb rests, minimalist design, can't see the DPI settings, which I DO NOT like, I switch between profiles depending on what games I am playing and I sometimes accidentally change them, I use color coding to see which one I am on and it's nice to do so without having to move my hand.)
4. Dark Core (looks really cool and really comfy, appears to be high quality, however, it is wireless.. it says 1ms but I'm not really sure how that will affect my gameplay.)

I have to move the mouse about 4 inches to move from one side of my 15" Macbook Pro to the other
