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!

In the past I went cheap route, see here which was actually better than I expected for a $8 mouse. More recently I did upgrade to a corsair scimitar

I'm with you bro. I'm also using a G700 and I can't find a good replacement from Logitech current palette.
The new G7xx series mice have nothing to do with G700 and G700s whether in its form or features.
As far as I know only the G503 and G900/G903 have the dual mode scroll wheel among the G series mice. But I'm not willing to sell my kidney just to buy a mouse.
From the office series mice there are multiple ones that have dual mode scroll wheel. Just look for HYPER-FAST SCROLLING in the feature list.
But these office mice don't have the large number if programmable buttons like the good old G700.

In many ways, I enjoy the M560. The free-wheeling or click-wheeling option is nice. However, (having remapped the "app-switcher" to be a middle mouse button) my hand sometimes dislikes hours of gameplay where I constantly use the middle mouse button. I would never consider a significantly smaller mouse.
(I was in our local hardware store and saw a inexpensive 6-button, adjustable dpi gaming mouse. I have not tried it, but you might check your local bigger-name hardware store.)

Also, Bumpo with thanks for a very nice gib.)

I've been disappointed with every mouse I've tried that wasn't Logitech...
I'm sure there must be some decent alternatives, but I'm convinced no other manufacturer is so dependable.

I was going to suggest my mouse, the Zowie FK2, until I read all the features you loved about your old one. Sorry I can't be more help.

I may have to look into that MX Master mouse. Enjoyed using a wireless Logitech Marathon M705 for a long time and it looks like the MX might fit my use. So thanks for the tip!

I used to use Logitec mice, but they all eventually had the double-click problem ( where you click once and it registers as having clicked 2 or more times) so I ended up trying some other brands. I really liked the MX518 back in the day, but even though the brand still offers some of the most comfortable mice I just have no faith in their reliability anymore.

Currently using a very cheap Victsing mouse and have been surprisingly quite happy with it. It doesn't have any metal parts so its very light weight, the the clicks are a bit loud, but its been very reliable and has a good range of DPI settings.
I also tried a wireless VictSing mouse but didn't like it as much.
