Get cheap delux m900 pro from AliExpress, it would last you quite a while, shape is really close to deathadder, though i personally would overpay a bit to get zaopin z2 or z2 mini basic version with 1k dongle

I recommend the incott g23 v2, zaopin Z2/mini and keychron m6 all silent version, the incott g23 v2 has loud clicks but you can swap the stock switches with a silent switch easily without soldering same for the zaopin Z2/mini.

The Zaopin Z2 is hotswappable and has good build quality, but unlike the G23, the hotswap feature is internal, so you have to open the mouse to change the switches.

What do you mean by large? G23 is long, but narrow like small mice, Zaopin Z2 has more reasonable ergo shape. On Incott, I broke my mouse wheel when I tried to fix broken encode which died after one year of use - wanted to know if there are mouse wheel replacements - no response from Incott, cannot recommend.

zaopin z2 is in the same budget tier as the ATK and Mchose mice and has worked wonderfully for me who has similar sized hands with a relaxed claw / palm grip.

Zaopin Z2. I had a G403 for about 6 years too.

I never had a Superlight so its hard to compare. From what ive heard despite being similar shape they feel very different. I would suggest watching some reviews. Its a bit weighty for a lot people but it feels very confortable. I use it for work and gaming. You can also hotswap the switch.

Zaopin is often forgotten but its quality is outstanding. Not sure why isnt as popular as the mentioned. I got a Z2 and its incredible.
