Need a new mouse any recommendation?

Yonderboy

Hi!
Im looking for a new mouse (preferably bluetooth).Would anybody know of one like the logitech Triathlon? (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01KZVQB42/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)  I really like this mouse, its bluetooth (no dongle), and has button, however I really dont like the logitech scrollwheels that switch from ratchet to smooth, I find the middle button harder to press and the scroll just less defined as the more basic wheels.

Would anybody know of anything similar?  The Logitech G400 looks close, but isn't bluetooth

thanks for any advice!

A lot of bluetooth mice aren't full size, they imagine you'll use it with a laptop.  So I guess it depends on whether that's OK with you.

Some of logitech's mice have both the usb receiver and bluetooth, which is nice. I'm eyeing a new one they have coming out, the m585 or m590. It has a feature that lets you copy and paste files between computers, not a huge perk but could be quicker than using email/cloud.

Is there any particular reason you want a bluetooth one?

I actually steer away from bluetooth because it has issues pairing, and Logitech's dongle is almost always instant.

At work I use an MX518 for editing/3D which are no longer available sadly.

However at home I am using a G400 which I prefer over my G900 (gaming/wireless) for editing/3D because I prefer the shape of the G400.

The G703 is more expensive at $99 MSRP but is completely wireless and has a solid build.  Sadly, no bluetooth though.

I prefer CoolerMaster's mice. But I don't use bluetooth....

I like the Logitech G502. I used to be all about the wireless, but the charger always dies. Wire'd is better for me at the moment.

I used to use a g500 and just mapped middle click to one of the thumb buttons. A year or 2 back I got a Logitech MX master I mapped middle click to the scroll toggle button, it took a little getting used to but I like it now. It is a little pricy but has Bluetooth and the rechargeable battery lasts over 2 weeks for me and it uses USB mini to charge so I just end up using the cord I use to charge my phone on the mouse.

I wouldn't recommend logitech g500 unless you have above average sized hands. g500 feels like holding an eggplant under your palm with no ergonomical rest points for thumb, ring and pinky finger. logitech g400/g402 kinda follows same design as g500.

thanks guys. Ive settled on this one in the end. Ifs slightly small, but not too bad. Other than that it ticks all the boxes...

damn it! I keep coming into work and thinking... this cheapo Microsoft mouse feels so perfect (for me) if only it had an extra couple of buttons!  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Microsoft-Basic-Optical-Mouse-Packaging/dp/B005LIFKCE/ref=sr_1_2?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1498816411&sr=1-2&keywords=microsoft+mouse

would anybody know if there's anything similar? .  Its so easy to push around!

If you need buttons, I suggest you the razer naga : https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Naga-Chroma-Gaming-Mouse/dp/B00NW6T6CC/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1498938044&sr=8-3&keywords=razer+naga&th=1

I use it for several years now, very usefull for 3d modeling.
However, it's expensive.

Has anyone tried a mouse with horizontal scrolling like the Logitech MX Master? Worth it?

a lot of mice have 4-way scrolling these days. On larger monitors/resolutions I rarely use it, but it's handy on laptops for scrolling websites/images.

I thought it would be cool, but I ended up disabling it since my thumb would brush up against it randomly during normal use.

It isn't the usual 4 way scrolling where you tilt the middle mouse wheel, there is a second scroll wheel near your thumb.
