Keychron - M7 Wireless Mouse

Might be a bit late but for under 70€ the keychron m7 is the lightest your going to get

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.

Unfortunately, brands only make good shit when they're new/growing. So for a new G402, look for a brand that is still trying to build brand-loyalty and grow a wide gamer-stan audience. Dareu will do you right. The web-software compatible ASUS mice are actually goated and exactly what you're looking for (though they've yet to release a new browser-software Chakram, only 2 button mice). Glorious is perpetually stuck in decent-quality limbo due to their extremely flaky fanbase (which is a score cause it keeps Glorious mostly on the straight and narrow). Keychron is experiencing growing pains, the M6 is trash due to a hardware glitch in the sensor, but the M7 and M5 are actually great. And of course, Mad Catz will always make the single-most over-built indestructible mice on the planet (and then go bankrupt for the 7 billionth time, have another worker union go on strike and overthrow the CEO during a revolution, go bankrupt again, then come back from the dead right when you least expect it). My original R.A.T. 3 is still my travel mouse, it's been with me for over half my life (and is older than the G402) and still works as it did brand-new (earlier this year the rubberized coating did finally goober, but after going at it with the 50 grit it's good as new again). That thing survived getting thrown full force against a brick wall and a concrete floor during my 12yo gamer-rage era, has moved 16 times, survived 8 years of getting crammed into a backpack that was yeeted around during commutes (was usually in the bottom of the backpack getting crushed by textbooks) and never used on a mouse-pad (only wood tables, glass tables, really worn cutting-mats, marble and masonry counters too). That shit don't break like genuinely I thought people were joking about bad switches, glitchy sensors, and back-scrolling scroll-wheels until I got a Razer mouse and it broke in 4 months (with very delicate use cause I actually really cared about the Razer mouse cause it was expensive). The only other brand that rivals the absolute-unit built quality of my first ever gaming mouse, is Pulsar. Unfortunately Pulsar only makes 2 button mice, but their software and build quality are absolutely top-dollar. Just wish they made an MMO mouse, fortunately Mad Catz has released a revised MMO7+ so when I have the cash that's my new MMO mouse that'll last me the rest of my life probably. I mean the Rat 3 is still going strong and the MMO7+ has metal-reinforcements throughout it's shell for enhanced durability so I seriously doubt that mouse will break anytime soon as I no longer yeet mice into brick walls full-force (though somehow the MMO7+ is the second lightest wireless MMO mouse out there, second to the Aerox 9 which has such a terrible shape it genuinely feels twice as heavy than it actually is, plus I accidentally dipped my Aerox 9 in acid and it's slowly turning into a sponge. Of course if you're happy with a 2 button mouse, the Kysona Uranus Pro is absolutely GOATED that thing is built like a tank, I haven't yeeted it but I'd have 100% confidence the Uranus Pro would survive a year of the brick wall treatment no questions.

Just put grip tapes on top of it, it will feel perfect.

You do realize you could bind middle click to other button? For example infinite scroll with tilt scroll buttons can become easier to press middle click.

How doesn't it recognize mouse buttons? If the mouse button becomes other mouse button in software it should recognize. It happens on mouse through firmware.

The specs seem to be good, similar to the GPX2 ones, we’ll see how it goes. I am a bit tired of that platform though and would prefer a more unique case, perhaps a third button on the side as well. The Keychron M7 8K did it well

[Eloshapes is pretty great for comparing mouse shapes](https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=logitech-g502-x-lightspeed-vs.-keychron-m7-vs.-razer-basilisk-x-hyperspeed)  I find that Razer's Basilisk sits perfectly in my hand (rather long fingers). However, I was really annoyed when that thing died after mere 3 years. That’s to say nothing of their software. Since then I got Keychron M7. Ergonomics are slightly worse, but it's an infinitely better mouse in every other way. 

Keychron m6 or m7...? Pretty similar "big mouse" shape, lighter, wayy better sensor if you get 8k version

Take a look at the Keychron M7, it's fairly lightweight for the size and a similar size and shape to the G502 or Basilisk so it's a decently sized mouse and it has 3 side buttons instead of the regular 2

I used the Keychron M7 8K for four months. Here is my review from the perspective of someone who is mostly a productivity user but also does some gaming. I generally liked the mouse, even if the lack of a free scroll wheel is somewhat limiting. Battery life more or less lives up to Keychron's claims, and I feel like it's more than sufficient, especially at 1 or 2 kHz polling. Alternative mouse feet and grip tape would have been nice add-ons, too, especially for a company that makes such repairable and mod-able keyboards... I wish Keychron had implemented some more advanced options, like a way to momentarily drop the DPI for scoped shots or sensor rotation options, but in general, you get what you pay for, and for all-round use, this thing kinda slaps. The coating is pretty solid, and even though it has worn a little over the months, it hasn't turned into a sticky mess. It just gets a little shiny. Please let me know if you have any questions about the mouse or if you want me to test anything in future reviews or with this specific mouse. I am planning more in-depth battery life testing for future reviews, but still working on a way to accurately track that.

Scroll wheel is pretty standard. I could use a firmer detent on the scroll, but it's definitely nothing worth complaining about. There's definite tactile feedback. The scroll wheel click is quite a bit stiffer than the main clicks, though. I use middle click a lot, too, and I do find the M7 ever so slightly too stiff. Fortunately, there are no major issues when it comes to contact if you're holding middle click to drag or rotate, so that's positive. Check out the M6 8K. I think as a symptom of the metal scroll wheel, it's a lot lighter to click. It also has the side scroll and scroll wheel tilt, both of which can be remapped to whatever input you want.

The M6 8K free scroll wheel is actually decent. It's metal now. It's a little loud, but that's only noticeable because the rest of the buttons are so darn quiet lol.

Buy a wireless mouse, open it, take the battery out, and enjoy. I can positively recommend the Keychron M7 8K and M2 8K. Both meet all criteria except wirelessness, but that can be solved with the above method.

I believe that mouse has a metal scroll wheel, no? Either way, yeah, there are much better mice out there, even from Keychron lol. I'd recommend just looking at Keychron's gaming mice instead if you want to stay with the same brand. Something like the M6 8K or M7 8K. I quite like the shape of the M7 8K and the M2 8K. I was daily driving the M6 8K until I got the M2 8K for review. The shape and weight just feel nicer to me. If you want to stick to cheaper peripherals, maybe look into other brands, like Rapoo, Akko, Mchose, or one of the cheaper Logitech wired gaming mice. You might have a better time asking in r/MouseReview

Keychron M7 is my pick, i haven't honestly seen many gaming mice meant for small hands with a thumbrest, but the m7 is lightweight with modern specs and is similar to the basilisk v3 in size
