Any recommendations for an ambidextrous wired mouse?
unironically i've only had the mx518 for nearly 20 years now but it's really starting to die, scroll wheel is completely worn out. they don't make it anymore apparently, what's the best surrogate?
How is the wheel worn out? On my old Logitech, which likely has the same wheel mechanism, I have to periodically pull out the kitten hair that accumulates inside the wheel, besides that it's as good as new.
last time i cleaned i saw that the little gaps in the scroll wheel were smoothed out and the scroll spring skipped a couple of them making scrolling a jumpy piece of shit occasionally
The MX518 remake is cheap plastic garbage, very disappointing.
G502 is the spiritual successor. I'm going to argue it's even better. It just looks ugly.
Deathadder v2 is better. G502 is bad for very large hands. I don't know where to put my pinky. It gets cramped and it's painful.
>The MX518 remake is cheap plastic garbage
compared to the original no doubt it is, but among all those kinds of offerings these days it's one of the better ones. Who makes proper mice anymore?

>every thing i don't like is troony
dude just. please
shut the fricking frick up you fricking gay homosexual.
Zy has been playing Quake for over 25 years, is far better than you could ever dream of being, and he says the MX518 isn't great by today's standards.
Did you actually watch the video? He says the sensors on every mouse are good enough these days, and the only thing that matters is the weight, the cable, buttons, etc. And he had no criticisms of the 518 on any of those points! It's light, its cable is nice and flexible, etc.
His criticism of the 518 is "the shape is outdated"; he lists potential issues with grip and with finger placement which have never been issues for me. Maybe some people don't like the feel of the mouse, but many do. For those whose grip style and hand shape suit the 518, he has nothing relevant to say to change their mind. (And he isn't claiming to.)
Most people care about longevity most of all, and it isn't even one of his considerations.
tl;dr you are a moron
It's not. I had one back when it was fresh and I used it quite a bit. It was great for it's time primarily because it had a sensor that was actually good enough to play. Back in 2005 the competition was pretty much shit, with most gaming mice using poor quality sensors and shitty experimental shapes/weights that turned out to be awful. Overall the MX518 was too heavy, the shape far from perfect, the original mouse cable was pretty shit and the original sensor wasn't even that good compared to the main sensors used for the last 8 years or so.
I've owned a lot of mice over the years to compare with, whereas the people that still obsess over the MX518 have rarely tried anything else that's actually good. They are the people that are satisfied with "good enough," like loving grocery store boxed frozen pizza instead of high quality freshly made, and it doesn't even enter into their brain that something better could be out there. I've owned the DAv3Pro, DAv3, Viper Mini, Viper v2, Lachesis (hated it more than any other mouse), Abyssus, EC1A, Sensei, Kana, Kinzu v2, Kinzu, G403, G305, G102, G100, G100s, G5, MX518, WMO1.1a, IME4.0, plus more older models from other companies that I can't remember the names of anymore (Coolermaster, Thermaltake, etc) going back all the way back to when ball mice were the standard.
People are so lucky today that there are shitload of genuinely great options even from true chinkshit companies.
What's wrong with being happy with what you have instead of CONSOOMING?
I don't think there's anything wrong with continuing to use something that is objectively worse because you are satisfied it is "good enough." I think that is being frugal and being honest about your actual needs, which is fine. If someone doesn't play games I wouldn't tell them to be a $100+ gaming mouse. The problem is the old product fanatics that go around insisting the older inferior product is somehow better because just that's what they've always used or they have some special nostalgia attached to it.
It's like if someone had a GTX960 graphics card and went all over the internet insisting that it is technologically superior to a GTX4060, just because they only play games from 2000 and the GTX960 works great for those. Great, keep using the 960 if that's all they need, and go on and encourage others to delay upgrades that they don't need either, but don't go around spreading lies.
That mouse was amazing. I used one for work and it didn't fail in over a decade. I left it behind at my last job. It outlasted the G500 that I used at home, and the mx518 probably had at least 3x the number of clicks and I took out my anger on it too.
I would still take the G500 for the better scroll wheel and it was more comfy than the G502.
What are you zoomies doing to mice that kills them in a year?
Best mouse wheel of all time, but the mouse shape and size fricking blows.
Wrong on both. The G500 had a better wheel + the shape of the mouse is better than anything available now.
you can still pick up the whole scroll wheel mechanism off of aliexpress, even outer cases and what not
>Best:
Logi G305/G203
>Worst:
too many to count... I've bought so many mice over the last 30+ years, I always keep coming back to some kind of Logitech mouse despite wandering to other brands over the years.
MX518 remake is good, had it for a few years. Not using it too often, though.
Otherwise, MX Master 3.

logitech mx518 when they briefly re-made it as a throwback

no, frick you
i'm buying nothing but chinkmouses for the rest of my life
>logishit buttons flake out in a year
mine is going strong after four (probably its days are numbered though)
this, fricking g403 prodigy
rec me some mice that won't die after a year
my fellow homos, Best mouse under 20$ on a|iexpress?
zowie not even a competiton
Best: Cherry MW 2310 (cheap but still quite good)
Worst: Logitech M185 (too small and flimsy)
Worst mouse I've used though was probably the Apple Magic Mouse mk1
Rival 3 is OK for me. It's not the same as the high quality G502 2017 model with the Iron Scroll Wheel but so far it's good enough.
It does make weirtd random sounds tho. Like, the plastic will creek or something. Chinky shit.
As long as it keeps on working I guess.
>post the best mouse you've ever bought
You already posted it.
Logitech g pro
There's a suspiciously high amount of them of my local craigslist/classifieds website. Should I buy one to try it (probably not picrel though) ?
I only stopped using it because it has that rubbery coating that turns to goo, and the wireless reception get a bit wonky after a decade.
I just used a sponge and rubbed off the rubber coating, hard plastic now and feels good
Get the m705, it's almost the exact same thing but with less rubber and only like 20-30 bucks.
Endgame Gear OP1 8K is the best I've had. Yes it's wired, but it's so light it's a completen non-issue. Allows 8k polling rate (consistently) and click latency is measured in microseconds, not milliseconds. There's a bunch of reviews on YouTube that use XLAT's to test it, it's not a meme.
>Yes it's wired, but
Yes it's wired, and*
MX518 > Intellimouse 2.0 > picrel
Piece of shit, died within a year-tier: Deathadder
I'm currently on a Logitech G203 which is so-so. One of the side-buttons gives double actions, so I have to filter every push to only give one click with a script lol.
Considering the 502 since I want to go back to the MX518 shape
So nobody has ever had a good experience with a Razer mouse? What gives? How do they fail so regularly? It's not like they're particularly cheap
well I've never used one because they started the "let's make drivers/settings locked behind an internet spyware account" horseshit
Simply...don't make an account? Last time I checked that was a thing you can do
I like my Zowie EC2-C, would be perfect if it was a bit lighter.

Randomly disconnects, and the cursor spazzes out when you put it down sometimes.

laser power
Better: Deathadder v3 wired ultra light, ultra high precision and low latency, extreme comfy but only for right hand people.
Worst: Magic Mouse bad at everything.
I love Logitech anywhere mx but middle button did't work for 3D software same for magic mouse, and Logitech m525 was pure love.
My G900 from 2016 is still doing the work, despite me having dropped it approximately 2000 times (I use it from the living room couch)
How are you supposed to press the middle buttons?
Accidentally
rec me a good wired mouse
G502 wired.
Pro Intellimouse before it becomes rare
Naga classic
idk if things have changed but both the nagas I owned started to double click in under two years
ITT: autism mice. All you need is an MX Master 3.

It wasn't actually bad but those are the only two mice I've bought and the G502 was clearly better unless you really need a million macro keys

logitech g203
Got it for 20 bucks on sale, a couple of years later it started double clicking, first time ever this happens to me. I had to take it apart and fix it. Beyond that, it looks like new after many years.
Best : MX518 I still have one at my parents' if nobody got rid of it.
Worst : some ambidextrous Razor I bought a few years ago that felt like a left-handed mouse.
I recently bought a G403 to replace my aging MX518, and I'm not happy with it. At work I use the generic HP/Lenovo shit they give me, nothing too bad.
g400
some gigabyte mouse (never seen another mouse with negative cursor acceleration and that much angle snapping)
>best:
pic related, lasted me a very very long time and it felt really good in the hand, I miss her
>worst:
razer deathadder, both mice I had died after 6 months with right turbo clicking. never again.
>best
pic rel: Mionix Naos 7000. Discontinued but they apparently relaunched it with "upgraded" hardware. I wouldn't recc it today because it weighs over 100g and the sensor isn't centered, but it's absolutely the most comfortable mouse I owned once you get a feel for it.
>worst
Some Corsair mouse, had a sniper button and had a metal frame, plastic buttons were very glossy and the wheel was too heavy. The laser sensor was nice for desktop use but crap for gaming.
Logitech makes cheap chinkshit now
two years and still running fine. Has a nice feel to its texture and clicks.
$8
Best: Ironclaw (pic related)
Wrost: I've been lucky with gaming mice, if I had to pick one it would the Razer Basilisk Ultimate (I think thats its name)
Its fine, its just too small for my hand
idk about best but i got a razer viper mini for 20€ 3 years ago and that's all i need
MX500/510/518/G400/MX518 Remake
Feels good, other mice don't feel as good.
>bbbut it's not the absolute best for muh 1000fps ultra twitch wall builder dancing game!!
I don't care.

Apple Magic Mouse
best: G703, EC2 a close second

Are the mx518 shells they sell on ebay good? Mine is worn out
