    Default Wireless mouse recommendations?

    My Microsoft Wireless Mouse 2.0 that I've been using for like 10 years seems to have died:



    Any suggestions on a good wireless replacement?

    Mice are so incredibly personal that it's very difficult to give any recommendations. It also matters how you hold the mouse.

    I like The Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 so much I have 2-3 backups, and I think it's finally discontinued so I don't know what I will do haha. It's symmetrical, I have very large hands, and I use kind of a hybrid between "The Claw" grip and the "Fingertip" grip.

    The mouse in the photo looks like it's designed for your hand to actually rest on it, so if you like that and you're use to that, you should look for similar designs. Any decent mouse from Microsoft, Logitech, etc. is going to be just fine.

    Amazon brand VicTsing has a ton of extremely popular and highly reviewed mice for dirt cheap, and you have 30 days to try it out with free returns:

    What's your budget?

    I strictly buy only logitech nowadays for a few reasons:
    -ergonomics of where the forward/back button are
    -the "frictionless" scroll wheel; I can't stand the wheel clicking anymore, though the ones that have this feature you can switch between the two modes
    -Unifying receiver = one receiver for the wireless keyboard and mouse.
    -The portable one I use has the ability to switch between 3 devices

    For the ones I've used...

    Ones I liked:
    -This one had a double clicking problem eventually, but the battery lasted 6+ months easy
    -Currently rocking this one at work, battery life is sub-par, no other complaints
    -MX performance that's off market I believe (using at home), battery life was also sub-par
    -Current portable one I'm using. Takes some time getting use to the middle click being under the wheel. Clicking the wheel changes between the scrolling modes

    One I didn't like:
    -Came as a combo with my keyboard. Does not have scroll wheel I like, so I don't like this mouse. Also don't like the shape

    The logitech g900 went on sale recently from $199 to $99. That's a steal of a deal. The MX master mouse is really nice too

    Just go to Best Buy and try them out.

    If you ain't gaming, you won't care about accuracy and $100 is over kill. If you are ok with that decade old mouse, you will be ok with any mouse today when it comes to speed and tracking.

    If you are looking at portability, MS Arc mouse folds flat but I won't use it daily.

    You may want to buy a keyboard/mouse combo to reduce amount of USB dongles.

    I've used about 7 of the Logitech M705 mice, you can get it for $40 at Amazon.. or they sell them at Memoryexpress as well

    I love them, I tried one of those "nice" gaming mice before for $100+ but wasn't a fan ended up returning it... they just get worn out over time but I also use it 24/7 as well..

    I guess last one I purchased the scroller was broken, but they still fit really nicely in my hand..

    How have you used so many?
    Are you replacing them because they double click? It's usually a capacitor that needs discharging. Pull the batteries and click for 30sec. Should fix itself... for a month or so.

    Im sure back in the days 1 or two have been smashed from poker but usually just left button usually though that has gotten worn out.. they just don't run as smooth (Not batteries) so i end up replacing it... I know i have 3 around the house that just don't run as smoothly as I've purchased new ones. It's usually the left clicker that doesn't work 100% of the time but only like 95% of the time..

    I just have to be clicking the button 24/7 so after awhile it starts to be clicked out haha

    Saw this this morning which seemed kinda useful. Always had problems with contacts on the wireless charging stations in the past. Little bit pricey though

    I don't think Logitech makes mice with charging stands anymore. They're all (the rechargeable ones) microUSB at the top end so you can continue to use the mouse even when the batteries die.
