Dareu - A980 PRO

Dareu a980pro. 65g, big size + alloy buttons click feels great.

Dareu a980pro/pro max, Rapoo vt3. Both are very nice 💯

All I have to say is don't buy from Logitech, Razer, Corsair, Steelseries, HyperX, or Redragon. They all have planned obsolescence designed into their shells and will break after 2 years of use. If you do have to buy one of these brands Redragon has the highest build quality out of all of them. The Glorious model i is good. The Dareu A980 is good. The Keychron M7 is good (NOT the M6, the M6 has weird glitchy sensor behaviour). Turtle Beach/Roccat is good, however since Turtle Beaxh bought out Roccat they discontinued all mice with more than 2 side buttons, and old stock Roccat mice are all slower than any of these mice (minus the Kone XP air, that one is the last vestige of Roccat before they went the 2 button route). They're insanely expensive, but the Swiftpoint Z (there are multiple versions, all of the wireless versions are goated the old wired one is jank) is also absolutely amazing and the ultimate life-form when it comes to button placement (though obviously it's button placement isn't for everyone, I mean having 6 additional main buttons isn't exactly normal). When it comes to numpad mice, we're SOL and have basically nothing, the Aerox 9 is the best we currently have and it's far from perfect. Hopefully we get more variety in the future!

If you want maximum longevity, you should stay away from Logitech, Razer, Steelseries, HyperX, Corsair, and Redragon, since their softwares are required to run their mice, and when they stop updating the drivers for your model it will stop working the next windows update. Additionally these brands also thin out the shells in highly stressed components in order to ensure they break after approximately 2 years of use. All these brands get money through a resale-scheme, by making you have to constantly buy a new product from them. My recommendations are from brands that are still small and growing (so they're economically incentivised to make good, reliable products and ensure they have good software support, even if they drop software support for later models, since people will most commonly look at their original products to gauge reliability). These brands are still gaining customer loyalty and as such will happily help you with any problems you face and have already designed their products to last as long as possible. If you wanna try vertical mice: The Hansker performance vertical mouse is shipped from Germany (if memory serves me correctly)and so should be relatively easy to post to India. The Keychron M5 is also worth a try since they have multiple European stores and warehouses. The swiftpoint Ergo-point is American unfortunately so I don't think you could source one easily. For standard ergonomic mice: Kysona Uranus Pro copies the tried and true Roccat Kone shape, it's cheap, built like a tank, and is amazing for palm grip. Keychron M7 (not the M6, the M6 has a design flaw in the sensor that makes it behave unexpectedly). Dareu A980. Glorious Model i 2 (the model i 1 has issues don't get it). Roccat/Turtle Beach kone XP air (discontinued, but there is still old stock floating around). These mice should all be fairly easy to source and relatively cheap (and most importantly, they're all built to last and their software isn't required to run to keep the mouse working, so you don't have to worry about software obsolescence thankfully, most actually can use browser-based software, meaning you open up safari or chrome or edge, open up the website, and then the website talks directly to the mouse and tells it what settings to change, no need to even download a software).

Dareu a980. _ 3 buttons. Glorious model i (the wireless one is better QC wise). _ 4 buttons. Keychron M7 (M6 has very weird sensor behaviour for unknown reasons, so don't get it, wait for reviews on the M5 first if you want the M6). _ 3 buttons. Swiftpoint Tracer (or Creator or Z2). _ 8 buttons + analog main buttons (Z2 has motion controls). (Discontinued, but old stock is still here and there) Roccat/Turtle Beach kone XP air. _ 7 buttons + scroll tilt. (If you're prepared for fighting Steelseries software, saving the keybinds to the on-board memory, disabling Steelseries software entirely, and then controlling the RGB with OpenRGB) the Steelseries Aerox 9 is mostly ok, not the best ergonomics though and easily the worst performance and weight of all of these. _ 12 buttons + scroll tilt.
