Logitech G - G900 Chaos Spectrum

damn oos i was debating, my g900 started double clicking after 8 years

I have big hands and use G903 lightspeed, previously used G900. maybe not everyone's cup of tea but I like them, they work well and have lots of config options.

Damn dude your hands are massive, maybe even bigger than mine. Ill give you the list of all of the mice I've tried. 1. Steel Series Aerox 5 - probably my favorite but it is expensive, I don't particularly like the software, It had an issue where it would disconnect randomly sometimes, and after a few years the scroll wheel stopped working. But the weight and button configuration are what are great about this one. It also has a comfortable shape for big hands. 2. Pulsar xlite v4 large - great mouse, great shape, i can almost palm it, I can if im feeling lazy, wide enough for a comfy finger tip grip that large hands pretty much have to use. I wish it had more side buttons but this is my current mouse that i replaced the Aerox with and I love it. I whole heartedly recommend giving this one a try. It has a simple software that just does what its supposed to and nothing else. The software also doesnt need to be running all the time. 3. Mionix Naos Pro - its almost perfect, its almost what i want it to be. if it were just a little taller i would be able to palm it. I think its a solid choice for xxl hands but its just not quite there, the pulsar is far lighter and has a better shape for fingertip grip. 4. Steel series rival - solid, heavy, you can actually add weights to make it heavier. back when i used this i didnt think i would like a light mouse. over all a good mouse with a good shape for large hands. 5. Logi G604 - great mouse, i dont think they make them anymore so they are hard to find/expensive. Scroll wheel is great. Probably about as close to an mx master as your gonna get. Has the weird shape where it gets skinnier where the ring and pinky finger rest so you end up dragging or sticking out your pinky. Lots of thumb buttons, did i mention i like that. 6. Roccat kone xp air - weird shape, almost looks like a left handed mouse but its not. i really like the button configuration but the shape just makes it uncomfortable for the ring and pinky finger, side buttons arent worth an uncomfortable grip 7. Logi G900 - meh one of the first "large" mice i aquired. Its too narrow to be comfortable for xxl hands. 8. Logi G502 - dont listen to anyone who recommends this mouse, its actually not really any smaller than any of the other mice here but the button placement is verry uncomfortable for xxl large hands. I think that about covers it other than I use an mxMaster 3 at work. I would still like for these all to be a little bigger but gaming mice don't get any bigger than this that i have found. TLDR I RECCOMEND THE PULSAR XLITE V4 LARGE Edit - I've held some of the razers at the store and i didn't particularly care for them.

This scene has really short memories, or I suppose most of them are too young to even know this. They think that $149 pricing is a "new trend". But Logitech's G900 was $149 in 2016, and Razer's Mamba was $149 in 2015. https://www.razer.com/newsroom/product-news/razer-unveils-the-worlds-most-advanced-gaming-mouse/ https://ir.logitech.com/press-releases/press-release-details/2016/Logitech-G-Introduces-Its-Best-Gaming-Mouse-Yet-With-Professional-Grade-Wireless/default.aspx

I went through 3 of these in under a year. The scroll wheel broke on 2 of them and the third one had the double click. Garbage. Haven't bought a razer product since. I had a razer keyboard that lasted awhile though. Pretty sure it still works i just swapped it for a k70 during a sale. Before anyone says it's user error, my Logitech g900 has been around now for what feels like 10 years. It definitely predates covid.

Logitech G900 or anything similarly shaped should help. Source: Having meat mits myself.

Razer haven’t been a great brand for a long time. When they relaunched in the mid 2000s it was a breath of fresh air and they made some good products. Unfortunately they’ve definitely become style over substance and cut many corners to save money. This shows with so many of their products having short lifespans. Not saying they are all bad, just personally I’ve been stung too many times with mice and headsets in the past and a friend recently got the latest viper and has had connectivity issues. I’ve got a g900 that’s 9 years old and has never let me down.

That is so weird for us to have such vastly different experiences. I'm on a chaos spectrum g900 since 2016, before that i was using a g700 since 2012, a g9x between 2009 and 2012 and a few junk mouses before that. Not saying that you were rough handling them, i do too. It's like with my saitek hotas, works since more than a decade while many say the same model failed in a few years. Hardware lottery

I just retired my logitech g9x from 2009 and my g900 logitech chaos spectrum g9x is hands down my favorite mouse shape with the precision grip I had razer way back in 2005 on copperhead and the original deathadder both sucked but since then I decided to give razer another shot so I got a viper V3 pro and the sensor is just amazing hands down best mouse I have used as far as accuarcy is concerned and the weight it feels weightless weighs even less than the logitech g9x. My end game mouse now would be the G9x body with this Razer viper V3 Pro sensor.

I have the same issue and haven’t found something that works, I still use a deathadder, I also have a g900 but I hate ambi mice

16 years ago I bought a logitech mouse and used it for everything including gaming from highschool through college. Friends also bought mice and never got new ones for years. Eventually after college, I got a gaming mouse and kept the old one for travel. I got another mouse as a spare for guests and started buying mice a little more frequently as I could afford it and wanted to find the perfect mouse. I kind of gave up after some years and figured I'd buy a nice mouse and stick with it, and got a logitech G900. The switches failed after a year or so. It was the first time that happened, and I heard a lot of buzz about light mice so I figured I'd just replace it with the prox superlight. Lasted a little longer, probably 2 years, JUST past the warranty, with the same double click failure. This time I looked into it and saw you could fix it, but decided I liked the light mouse and thought I'd get another brand, with a lighter mouse, so I got a WL-mouse. The WL-mouse failed in record time (10 months?) and I couldn't find my receipt, so I decided to try fixing. I got some omron switches recommended on this very subreddit and fixed my old superlight first in case I screwed up but luckily I made the fix without problems... until only a few weeks later it started double clicking. Not horribly but... ugh, certainly noticeable. A few times a day, I probably screwed up the install somehow. That was earlier this year and I recently found my old mouse and plugged it in and wouldn't you know it, it works just fine. What the hell man... I hear you can get optical switches but what's up with modern switches? Did I just get unlucky? Were old mice really better at not double clicking? I only really heard of mice dying flat out back then. My mom uses a special ergo trackball-like thing for mice and for her the trackball goes out every 3-5 years but that's still better than the 2 I got on my superlight. To add insult to injury, I used to only have one machine, but now I spread use between a work laptop, my phone, and pc (which I use a controller for more than ever now). How were those switches so durable during my peak MOBA gaming years? I should have never gotten a mouse when the old one wasn't broken... I don't want to bother fixing the WL-mouse if it's just going to fail again too, but I got 4 switches and can still fix it if I have to. I don't really want to buy another mouse, or even more switches. This old mouse is in rough shape and I don't like using AAA batteries over rechargeable, but the double clicking is bad (better on the fixed one, just a few times a day instead of every few clicks). Just feels bad as mice, and everything really, gets more expensive. Brand recommendations, and lightweight optical mice recommendations welcome. I don't think I'll get one yet but I can't imagine my fixed superlight will get better as time goes on. Worth noting it's hard to find a good search term in google trends, but generally I see an upward trend in recent years of mouse problems. Kind of funny since more people use touchscreens than ever! tldr: cheap old wireless mouse is a work horse and modern gaming mice apparently can't handle even one year of old man gaming. What's up with that?

I’ve been using a Logitech g900 chaos spectrum for about 9 years, only thing I changed is a magnetic charging port so all I have to do is retract a cable and magnetically swipe it on. It lasts for me about a week on the battery and has customizable buttons and plates. Used the basilisk as well for 6 months it just wasn’t it for me(and used plenty of other mice as well).

In fairness, I've got a Blackwidow Chroma that I bought over 10 years ago, still going strong - just replaced it because I no longer like the loud clicky keys, and wanted a lower-profile board. Paintwork still looks new on it. Conversely, I had a Razer mouse around the same time where the paint and grip parts eroded away within a couple of years - not a good experience there. I'm now on Logitech despite also not being blown away by the longevity - when I did email Logitech out of warranty about my old G900 mouse breaking on me, they sent me a replacement one. I also had one of their headsets which started crackling in one ear - which they immediately refunded for me for the full value after over a year. Resigned to the fact that you take a punt whoever you buy from, but Logitech at least has always just remedied my issues.

Unironically, the g900/g903 it is my favorite shape I have felt so stable with it in aiming when it first came out and I still use it for pixel perfect photography editing. Sometimes I come back to it for gaming but I have to admit that it's just too heavy but todays standards, and I find myself getting back to my pulsar x2h mini. I wish there was a g900 clone just lighter so bad. I also wanna try the regular x2h from Pulsar, held it in microcenter and it felt pretty good tbh
