My trusty beloved Logitech G700 that I bought in 2013 is on its last legs. The left and right buttons don't register as well at times, and it's a bit of a pain when dragging and dropping and also in some games. This is the best mouse I have ever owned: it has 13 fully programmable and easy to reach buttons, 5 different user profiles, seamless dpi settings that are changable on the fly, wired and wireless operation with rechargable user replaceable Enerloop battery and a dual mode scroll wheel that can be changed from click-to-click to free spin hyperfast scroll. This is the awesome wheel that Logitech first introduced with the MX Revolution in 2007 which I had prior to this model and I simply cannot live without now. Seriously, there's no going back after using this amazing wheel. I would buy the G700 again in a heartbeat, the only problem is it has since been discontinued and Amazon now carries it for a cool 350 bucks. As much as I love this mouse, my readiness (and wallet) has limits.

My problem is I don't know how I should replace the G700. An obvious choice would probably be Logitech's current top of the line productivity mouse, the MX Master 2S. This mouse has the same ergonomic shape as the G700 and also has that awesome dual mode wheel, but it has less buttons than the latter. I've come to really like my multitude of buttons, which are not only great for gaming but also for productivity tasks like photo and video editing. So I'm not sure if I would be happy with the MX Master.

On the other hand, there are the Logitech G Series mice. Most of these seem to have lots of programmable buttons, but I don't think they have that amazing wheel I talked about earlier. (Or do they? Does anybody know for sure? The website doesn't really say). They also don't seem to have that ergonomic shape I am so fond of that started with the MX Revolution. I don't know why Logitech doesn't make them anymore like they used to and combine the features I want, just like in the G700.

Do you have any advice on what mouse I should get? I would like a wireless mouse if possible with a lot of programmable buttons, an ergonomic shape that fits the hand (it does not need to be ambidextrous, right hand is fine) and that dual mode scroll wheel (or someting of equivalence) that I keep going on about. GIBAWAYBonus points if it looks halfway sensible and doesn't scream PROGAMERRGB2DAMAX!!!1! in its design. I've only used Logitech mice since 1997 (each one has lasted me years), but I am willing to switch for the right mouse.


UPDATE
I have made my choice: After much consideration I decided to go for the Logitech G502 Hero. I had to sacrifice the wireless capability, but apart from that the mouse has everything I want (remember the wheel?) and although I have yet to properly test it in games, I like how it feels and functions in Windows. Some people suggested I fix the switches in my G700 and I might just do that. For now it's relegated to office duty and has replaced my generic no name piece of crap mouse there, so that's cool. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with their comments, I have read every one, even if I didn't reply to them all. Also, here's a fun list!

I would stay away from Logitech, personally, though I only bought Logitech mice and keyboards so far, I won't again.

I'm not 100% sure but I seem to be having left click problems with my only a year old G903, same thing happened to my previous one and the previous one too...

Why don't you open it and replace the micro-switches? There are plenty of parts on ebay etc for a little bit of money.
Apart from that, I would be very wary of buying Logitech products now. The last decade their quality went down the drain as they changed their designs for the bling-bling crowd and skimped on the quality.
Edit: For example, I got a wireless MX700 in 2007(?), lasted me about 8 years 'till the dreaded double clicks appeared. My brother later (2013-ish) bought an expensive keyboard with display and 2 different mice from Logitech and they barely lasted longer than the warranty.
You read similar reports in other forums etc.
My G15 refresh keyboard is still going strong however after over 10 years.

I have been (ab)using the old Logitech Performance MX for years. It still works, but has developed a defect: runs out of battery pretty quick and cannot charge the battery when plugged in. I enjoy its ergonomics though.
I also got the G502 on sale. Solid mouse, feels like it will last for ever. I had a hard time getting used to size/shape for the 1st couple of weeks. It does have the scroll-wheel toggle between fast/clicky.

I have tried other companies on and off, but still return to Logitech for mice...

How about the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum $89
or the Logitech G903 LIGHTSPEED $107
It seems like they both have the metallic scroll wheel that can be switched between free scrolling and click scrolling through the button right in front of it.
