    AJAZZ AJ199

    22 bucks, a very modern sensor, extremely light, and DPI from 100-22000, DPI button supports 6 programmable presets

    Only issue is the mouse may actually be too light if you don’t move your mouse a lot, but I got used to it and it’s really nice for FPS

    I really like my logitech mx anywhere 2, most of all for the free rolling scroll wheel which I think all or most of the logitech mx suchandsuch mice have. The only real downside is that since it’s old it still uses microusb for charging.

    Logitech G502 has been going strong for 3 years, and I love it so much. The software is easy enough, and I can’t live without profile switching. I have two I use for daily driving - one with Ctrl, Page up, Page down, Forward, and Back on browser - and profile 2 has Win+Tab, Alt+Tab, and Navigate through Alt+Tab bound. Biggest downside is updating game profiles is a bit of a pain.

        The software is a little finicky and likes to show you whatever profile is active when you switch to it. So if you don’t like a key bind for Cov 6 and you tab over to the software, it switches back to your default profile.

        And, if the game isn’t officially supported, you’ll have to manually locate the files. Usually not an issue but it was a pain for Minecraft.

        Pretty minor grievances though, the software works 99% of the time.

          You can replace GHub with the older Logitech Gaming Software which was also bad but actually works, has a better (though still bad) UI, and interfaces with the G502s onboard memory to set the profiles, instead of being some weird software based profile system. Just search for Logitech Gaming Software, download it from logitech’s support page, and then uninstall GHub so it lets you actually use it.

        GHub is awful, though fortunately one can just use the old software that the G502 originally used (Logitech Gaming Software) instead.

        I will note that the G502 has had varying build quality over the years: the original ones were amazing workhorses and mine has been in constant use for ~8 years without any issues except for some of the LEDs burning out, but some subsequent runs have defective switches in the right mouse button so they quickly wear out and break - the part itself is apparently both cheap and easy to replace with a better switch, but that requires doing some maintenance on it if it happens to you.
