Razer Deathadder Elite. 8 years. Mousewheel works really badly because of dust and similar, but you could open it up and try to clean it in some way, that's how i did when i had problems with my left click.

Bought an op1w 4k v2 after not really liking the superlight plus it was so loud and such a heavy click. My new mouse is just perfection a little smaller but i claw grip and it works surprisingly well on my large hands. There can’t be a best mouse because each mouse caters to individual needs and use case. I used to use a death adder elite which at the time considered it the best mouse. Usually 2 things are the deciding factor in modern mice shape which is king and weight. Everything else even polling rate is subjective.

I used to have a Razer DeathAdder Elite, which I loved, but over time, it developed double click issues. A year or two ago, my brother (also a major gamer like myself) got me a Razer Naga Trinity as a Christmas present when he got me for our sibling grab bag, and it's worked wonders too. However, as of late, it has given issues with random flicks and stopping held left clicks, which is a major problem when I am playing shooter games (specifically Marvel Rivals) and therefore trying to be precise. After having waaaay more random flicks while trying to play tonight (and the random flicks getting more frequent over all lately), I decided it's time I finally bite the bullet and get a new mouse. I want my new mouse to be Razer as well so I can use Razer Synapse to sync the lights with my Razer Huntsman Elite keyboard. I don't really care about whether I have side buttons or not (didn't end up using them on my Naga Trinity). I want to make sure it lasts long with regular use playing Rivals and also works well for the occasional MMO. Palm grip user here as well if that helps. Biggest requirement is WIRED ONLY! I hate having to charge controllers and mice, cause my memory is garbo and I forget to do so a lot. All recommendations and reasons for them would be awesome!!

My old Deathadder Elite took 4 years of intensive Minecraft PVP butterfly clicking for the right click to start having issues. The RMB would release when held. It never double clicked, though.
