"I had mine staked down in packed sand during a rainstorm that dropped 1.5”-2” per hour for 3 hours according to a ranger station nearby and it took it like a champ."
"after heavy and extreme and I mean extreme use in a very dirty environment, after a year the range suddenly cut down... I felt like I'd gotten my measly 20ish buck worth from them and didn't fault jlab due to the extreme circumstances I used them in daily. ... I work in a hot asa filthy steel mill and the fact they lasted a year was impressive to me."
"My old Breville lasted 10-11 years ... I got the new one 3 years ago with the air fryer option … if it breaks tomorrow I would figure out how to get it again - I seriously love it."

"Yeah the battery life on Apple Watch is pathetic. ... Like I have the 4G Apple watch which I wear when I am out of town just in case my iphone dies or gets broken and I am in an emergency. That happened to me a few months back. I had my watch and only my watch. I had 4G turned on for emergency services and GPS turned on so I can find my way home. Convienent and life saving right? Except the stupid thing died after an hour and after that I was stuck with no communication abilities at all in the middle of the night wandering the streets. What good is having all of those capabilities if they are just going to die on you after 10 minutes? ... other than as an emergency backup for my phone (which I have now proven is a joke in a real life emergency)"
"If I record for more than 14 minutes it will freeze and battery is already almost dead. This is at night night by the way so temperature isn't high."
"the battery now wears out very quickly - after about 1 hour of usage."

"Thing is a brick ... After using light weight mice it's hard to go back to that weight."
"the weight is way too much even for work."

Ashsucksatwhackbat 1.0MChose consistently has weird names so that doesn’t really matter. The 3395 is not a bad sensor at all, it’s not a 3370 or a 3335. A Basilisk clone that’s 55g, accurate, and 4K compatible seems right up your alley. Shape wise it’s about a millimeter smaller all around. Though you could just wait for Razer to drop a Basilisk V4 Pro in 3 years for $299.
That’s what I’m saying. The V4 pro should be indestructible at that price range but it’s literally just a marginally better V3 pro and that mouse isn’t even obsolete yet
BigChungusDa 1.0This is really up to personal preference I think. But, I went from a Deathadder to a Basilisk V3 Pro Wireless. I like it, but not sure it would fit the “lightweight” requirement. And, I’m not at home so I don’t remember its dimensions. It’s definitely a bulkier, but more ergonomic shape than the Deathadder. I’ve heard good things about the g502 for what it’s worth. I basically use a claw grip on my mouse since that also matters.
Chastity23 0.6Basilisk v3 Pro or newer, has an auto-freespin option which is nice to use. Option for Qi power puck charging.
Seems you like mice with more than the standard array of buttons. Of these kind of mice, I have the Aerox 5 Wireless Diablo IV Edition, the ASUS Chakram X Origin, and the Basilisk v3 Pro. The A5 works well for me, tho I had to get used to that B4-5 flip type. Battery life is kind of short, but it's a fast recharger. The ASUS Chakram X Origin has 4 sides + 4 Joystick. On the heavier side, but not too bad on glass surface. Hotswap main switches is a nice feature, along with toolless access. Basilisk v3 Pro is your G502 analog, but I find it more comfortable. I like the auto-Freespin wheel option when I am working on projects, or browsing.
I don't know you hand size, but I found the G502X to be a bit narrow in the thumb area for me, and the Basilisk to be roomy.
I have the Aerox 5 Wireless Diablo IV Edition, and it fits like a Deathadder but with a lower left-side hump, and I find it quite comfortable. The 5 side buttons are nice for certain games. Basilisk v3 Wired is a solid choice, should fit like a glove, lots of buttons. (I have the v3 Pro)
My game/productivity mouse is a Basilisk v3 Pro.
Basilisk v3 Pro is not an ultralight at 106g. I prefer the Bas to the G502X because of the Bas has more thumb area room. Thumb placement on G502X was tighter. The Logi will have longer battery life. I have a Qi puck for the Bas v3 Pro, so I just dock it at the end of the day.
The usual suspects: Basilisk v3 series and G502X series. I prefer the Basilisk for the roomier thumb area. Plus the Basilisk v3 Pro 30K can be found on the cheap these days. [https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Basilisk-Customizable-Wireless-Gaming/dp/B0BD3C6C65](https://www.amazon.com/Razer-Basilisk-Customizable-Wireless-Gaming/dp/B0BD3C6C65) Amazon US has refurbs for $68 of the v3 Pro.
The Basilisk v3 Pro 30K has some very nice hardware, but I don't know how sensitive you are to noise. I don't find the wheel loud, and in Infinite scroll it's silent. It supports an Auto mode where if you flick the wheel long enough, it will switch to free spin, and then switch back. Has left-right tilt wheel buttons. Mouse clicks are about as loud as mechanicals for gaming mice. It uses their Gen3 Opticals on the mains, so that will help with long-term durability. Sensor is their 30K 3950 with Motion Sync. I have no issue using the clutch with the thumb. Side buttons are not loud, and spammable. I turn off the RGB to improve battery life when mobile, and I have a Qi puck for it for wireless charging, so I can just dock it when done for the day. There is the Basilisk Mobile too, but I have no experience with it.
Alectradar 0.6Yeah same, I now use a Basilisk V3 Pro at home, and will probably switch the one at work to a Basilisk V3 Hyperspeed, they're pretty great mice, and have the same feel as the G502, except with a magnetic scroll wheel, and bluetooth connectivity

AbsoluteGamerCS 0.5https://preview.redd.it/9iq17xj6cg4f1.jpeg?width=2252&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ca1aa4fd1bc6a4da00dd36636f6f0b7eb4379ec8 I use the bigger brother of your mouse haha Honestly didn't do much research on the difference between the two... got this at the price of the regular V3 and decided to give it a shot. All I was looking for is a mouse with infinite scrolling, tri-mode connectivity and a decent sensor (that can be used for gaming as well) You'd be surprised that there's only 2 mice that I know off that fit the bill - Basilisk V3 Pro (maybe even V3 idk) and Keychron M6.
ActionJ2614 0.5Not sure what you mean I own 3 Razer mice and don't have the double click, but do get a weird sound from time to time when clicking from my Basilisk v3 Pro (it doesn't create a double click though). I have owned Razer mice for 5 + years and never experienced it with the 4 models I have owned and the current 3 I still own.
The Basilisk v3 Pro I have owned since it launched. The best way I view it is as a hybrid mouse. It can serve as a productivity mouse and as a gaming mouse. It weighs 112 grams so much lighter than MX Master series. It is smaller in height and width, not as ergonomic as my MX 3s. It has a cool charging feature a magnetic stand you place it on (innovative and works great). There is a magnetic disk you insert on the bottom of the mouse that allows it to work with the magnetic charging stand. You can also use the USB C port on the front of the mouse to charge it as well, (think on the go). Hybrid because you can use it for both gaming and productivity. A true gamer won't like the weight for certain games. It also offers 3 side buttons which you could compare to the MX 4. The buttons can all be mapped. Below is a reference to the 3s and you can see the magnetic charging stand in the background and the dongle with the USB connector. https://preview.redd.it/9l8xcgr114uf1.jpeg?width=1575&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9e7160eafe9a1ce47c81b87536f29ded81854f6f
I wouldn't call Razer jank. I have owned and used quite a lot of mice from Logitech gaming (g502, retired) to the 3 and own 2 MX 3s. I also have 3 Razer mice. * Razer Basilisk v3 Pro (previous was the Gen 1 Ultimate version which I owned as well)-> hybrid mouse between productivity and gaming, more on the heavier side vs traditional Razer mice. Intelligent charging setup (magnetic base charging) and the comes with a dongle and USB connector that is interesting. * Razer Basilisk X HyperSpeed Wireless Gaming (travel or out of my home office, mostly collects dust in a drawer now) * Razer Viper Ultimate (gaming mouse, lightweight and my go to for that) Neither companies' software is ideal, though Razer's latest release (still bloated) is better than the prior version. I prefer the MX 3s for productivity working, and Basilisk 3 for casual use, browsing, some gaming, if my Viper is charging or I want to go with a heavier feel mouse.
alish_niftaliyev 0.5I also made the same choice after doing a lot of research and waiting in mouse and keyboard section lf tech shops for hours. Only problem I see with Razer is its USB-A dongle. Other than that, it is a perfect mouse both for gaming and productivity.
Ambitious_Jaguar_856 0.5I have had the Razer Basiilisk V3 Pro for about 3 years and no problems with the software but the mouse itself is physically breaking. for a mouse standpoint they are ehhh, but i prefer replacing more often than dealing with a software that is so bad it won't let you use it IMO
Anishx 0.5both v3 pro and scyrox v8 8k. But using Scyrox full time for gaming now due to 1/3 weight.
arrogantheart 0.5I have to say, while I like the MX Master 4, I think the Basilisk v3 Pro is a better mouse (I’m lucky to have both). The Master has a nicer scroll wheel which I like, but Basilisk is more comfortable, has better performance, more consistent click feel, etc. And Razer finally has Mac mouse software again, so you can use it on Macs too. Again, I like the MX Master 4, but Basilisk v3 Pro is my favorite mouse. And I’m not even talking about gaming - it’s the best productivity mouse for me.
