Need a mouse and would prefer something similar to the Logitech G604. Currently on my second one and it broke (First one started skipping across the screen and had one of the thumb buttons broken, returned that one and got another one for warranty, couple months later same issues came out) I just want something with better durability but with same performance. Currently using a spare g502 hero as a stand in but dont like only 3 buttons, like the form tho. I use Palm grip. Also dont care if wired or wireless

Good luck googling! 😄
As I do not see a technical issue here.
I love looking for mouses! [/sarcasm] as a lefthanded I have the most fun time looking for a decent mouse. (11% is lefthanded) So barely any left handed mouses out there.
I switch every year or so to another mouse.

Now im currently having a "Roccat Kiro" pretty decent mouse. So partially I am sharing your pain. and hope you find a decent one, as this is sadly very subjective and would suggest to look in the store nearby to see how the mouse feels and reacts and see reviews online.

Frankly I looked everywhere and mice seem to either be tiny ultra light mice or a mouse with 16 thumb buttons. There's just no in between like the G604

i like the razer naga pro because I have the ability to change the side plates. 2 button, 6 or 12 side mouse buttons

#

I switch between them constantly depending on my task or game!

also depends on the grip of your hand , and if you like heavy mouse or what kind of grip you are using

the BENQ has allot of big mice

Would be willing to give Ben Q a shot though I've had decent stuff from them before

I had one before, my personal opinion is it didn't have a laser mouse option on the one I had, just optical. so somewhat problematic with precision, so maybe not perfect for shooters , but you gotta check when buying if it has a laser mouse option.

Thanks for the recommendation. For now I'll keep this as a backup incase I don't find a mouse with more Thumb buttons

rich swan
#

I bought it because of the size of the mouse

#

they can be very big in very big sizes for really big hands

#

this is my current mouse btw 😄 simplistic

#

can remove buttons on the side or keep it with 2 on each side

acoustic bison
#

That's a cool mouse

rich swan
#

easy to remove buttons 🤷‍♂️ and add it again due to magnets

#

Does this brand have a 6 button mouse option?

rich swan
#

Sadly no

#

Oof. Just double checked. Every single mouse I've found with the configuration I want has some sort of issue. ( Mouse skipping, poor quality, etc...)

#

Might just have to get a regular ergo mouse with 2 thumb buttons. Again though I got used to having at least 4 buttons so that sucks

#

I just love simplistic mouses

#

They do seem to have the best quality

Xbox elite controllers last me barely over a year before I get issues. It's a true qualtiy control issue, but my mouses usually start breaking down on the 2-3 year mark. Typically doubleclick tends to me what happens

#

I've been doing this like 2015. It has def worked in my favor. Bestbuy geek squad is the only warranty I approve of. It's absolutely the only warranty where I've had no pain. Take just the item in, warranty linked to account, and you get full credit of the original purchase price of the item.

#

The sad truth is these are all disposable products and not designed to last. Repair is always an option and I have done that, but the quality of the aftermarket non oem parts is hit or miss. And it ends up being cheaper to do the warranty option and the potential to upgrade to latest model or a different model is well worth that

I don't typically shop at best buy but seeing my other options it might be best to do what you mentioned with the g604 knowing it's going to break. It's simply the only mouse that's worked for me
