Mouse recommendations, anyone? (lemmy.sdf.org)

Normally I'd go to r/mousereview for this kind of thing, but fuck that website.

Can anybody recommend me a mouse that isn't going to fuck out inside of a couple years? Was previously using an Ironclaw until the USB port went, replaced it with a Basilisk and the scroll on that one's started to jitter up and down now. I have fairly large hands and tend to use knuckle claw grip. Wireless is a must, builtin battery preferred, but requiring a single AA isn't a dealbreaker. I don't mind heavy, prefer a little weight tbh.

ASUS ROG Harpe Ace. Lightweight, builtin battery, parts that can be swapped, great build quality, 2,4 ghz, BT 5.1 and wired. My son had Logitech, Corsair and Razer gaming mice and after some time had problems with double clicking or scroll wheel.

He is very content with the Asus. Only gripe is the software, but once set up, you can remove ut.

The fifteen minutes I spent with ASUS's bloatware was enough to convince me never to use it.

I wish companies would stop peddling their bloated customization software and just release something that works. Piper should be the gold standard of pragmatic design - no flashy visuals or animations, just useful graphics and convenient settinsg.

Why did you need it, do you have any Asus hardware requiring armory crate? The time I spent with the Asus mouse playing games was quite awesome and redeemed setting it up.

Bloatware isn't the right term, it is config software. It is just system heavy weight shite that after configuring your hardware can be rid of, unlike other brands that require their tiresome software be installed to make the hardware work.

Call me old-fashioned, but I have a problem with any software that sacrifices usability for visual flair. Configuration utilities most of all, with customized installers as a close second. Anything that needlessly gets in the way is a massive negative.
