Basilisk V3 35K

Similar in shape is Razer Basilisk, Logitech G502(X), maybe Turtle Beach Kone. You can get a Basilisk V3 wire for under $50, and that's near the top of their range. Can't say Razer software is flawless, but works well enough for me, and the mouse is high quality, except their scroll wheels always feel squiffy in tactile mode - something to do with the freescroll/tactilescroll mechanism I think. Edit: These other mice people are suggestion just don't have the same shape, feels like they are trying to direct you to their favourite mouse, not answer your question.

Razer Basilisk is the only one I can think of (certain variants only e.g. V3). The smart-reel feature and mouse wheel in general isn't as nice as the MX Master though. Whether it fits you I'm not sure.

Can confirm that smart reel works with Synapse closed. I don't fancy uninstalling it. I don't really experience problems with the software, although with a Razer Blade it's there anyway.

Not long, just a couple of weeks. My experience with the scroll wheel hasn't been great, I bought 3 and returned 2 for mouse wheel issues. With the current one the issue is that when it's in tactile mode it's pretty lumpy - basically with a normal scroll wheel if you move it it moves a click. With this scroll wheel you can roll it back a little way without it clicking, and then if you let go it falls back into place. So when doing small scrolls in tactile mode if you end up half way between a low point it then falls back with a bit of a clunk and slight reverb through the mouse. Definitely would like it to be more clinical. At the end of the day it has the best set of features, so I put up with that, the free scroll is good, the smart reel feature is good even if not implemented as well as MX Master, the overall feel and quality is good, and the shape suits my hands (smaller hands).

No it's not stiff. It has excessive play and springyness (as it drops back into position) vs a regular scroll wheel. It functions OK. I've had no problems from skipping/lagging/extra scrolls. Smart-reel is a binary on off - when you scroll fast it goes into infinite mode - after about a half second of none movement it snaps back to tactile. It's not the nice smooth transition of the MX.
