Looking for candida to replace my gaming mouse (lemmy.cat)

I hope this community is the right one.

I've had a Razer Basilisk Essential for at least 5 years, and it's starting to give up (left click starting not to work properly).

So I'm looking for a mouse to replace it, the main problem I've found with this one is that I can't open it just to clean it. I'd like to be able to do that with the new one.

Otherwise, I think it's perfect, I like the layout of the buttons (I don't want one with less or more, just the same).

Do you have any advice?

G305. Cheap, fantastic sensor and latency. Three months of wireless battery life, and when it does run out, you just load another rechargeable AA.

And if you want it lighter, just shove in a AAA with a piece of balled up aluminium foil.

My last one died after years and years of service, and I immediately bought the same exact mouse. Didn't even need to get rechargeables, this time, the ones I already got are still fine.

I prefer wired mouses, do you know any G305 equivalent?

The G Pro wired is the exact same shell.

But why not wireless? I've hated having to keep past peripherals charged, which is why I recommend the g305. It has a battery life measured in months. A year if you don't use it daily. And the AA means a "charge" is an instant swap.

This despite using the same low latency wireless connection and a sensor as good as all of logitech's other gaming mice.
