What’s your mouse of choice

90 bucks is a stretch, but it does look compelling. My little brother isn't even 20 yet and he just had to go to the doctor this week with tendinitis. People care more about sci-fi designs and neon lights on their hardware, than good ergonomics.

How's the battery like? Not a fan of wireless input devices, there's more lag and short battery life.

Non-issue tbh, i charge once every few weeks and with my milage it says a lot :D... the logitech software prompts you early to hook it up.

Not sure about lag, i think modern peripherals are pretty close to wired in terms of latency. This is for work and not for gaming anyways. 

I hate to sell this thing to you guys but it really made me strain a lot less at work.

I've gone through a series of wireless gaming mice, the tech has really improved in the last couple of years. Currently have a logitech G603 and I'm very happy with it. Takes 2 AA batteries and them seem to last 6+ months at least, with me using them all day for work and also personal use in the evening. Very impressed

They had some numbers on here, being 2-year old I wonder if all of a sudden a revision is gonna pop up, that would be annoying.

 

@Buddy do you find easy to then switch to a gaming mouse for playing?

Yeah you can transition OK though it feels weird to have your hand flat after a while of using the vertical mouse. In the end I just adopted this mouse for everything. The hands do get sweaty in gaming just like Linus said tho.

@kleinluka I didn’t even know Alienware designs mice; looks bulky but also comfy.

Yeah, it's actually very comfy and doesn't feel bulky at all when it's in your hand. Like putting on a fancy glove I've got one of their headsets and keyboards too. Surprisingly good quality for all the shit people say about Alienware

This thread inspired me to get an ergonomic mouse. Thanks @Buddy, how's that logitech partnership going along?

I'll just add my 2 cents here. While I haven't suffered from strain from using a regular mouse. I do feel it now after I got used to the ergonomic one, which only tells me my wrist just got used being strained 24/7. I'm pretty certain this will save me from wrist related pain/injury in the long run.

I've used the Logitech MX518 for more than 5-6 years, and the G502 now is about the same age. I stopped using the MX518 because I wanted a change. I got bored of the MX518. The two other mice I bought, broke or developed double-clicking issues in a year each.

 

I love how the G502 performs, but I'm developing that tingling sensation of wanting to use an alternative but a lighter wireless mouse, maybe the Logitech G304/305. Let's see.
