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!

Personaly, my R.A.T. 3 MadCatz mouse never failed on me, and is still as awesome these days.

I have a Razer and I'm quite happy with it. But I must say latest driver have a mandatory registration (unless you hack it), and I find that really anoying. So while the hardware is nice, I would not recommend it.

Can anyone enlighten me as to why "gaming mice" seem to always have a part that lights up/glows some colour and tend to look like a spaceship?

I'm also interested in buying a good mouse, mainly because the good, perfectly acceptable Logitech M545 wireless mouse that I have has a scroll wheel that scrolls too fast for gaming purposes. I'd like a wireless mouse, though and to not break the bank.

I've only ever really used Logitech for serious mousing. Sure miss the MX518 but the G502 has been pretty good.

I miss my old Evoluent VerticalMouse 3. If I was buying a mouse, I'd probably buy an Evoluent VerticalMouse C.

I have been thinking about getting a vertical mouse and this one looks great!
My current mouse also has 3 buttons on the top, can't imagine going back to 2.
How long did your model 3 last?

No advice, just a bump.
I'm very happy with Razer. I have small hands and Razer has the right feel for me.
And tbh, I like the lighting. Got a Chroma keyboard and mouse. Never owned a different brand mouse.
