Zowie (BenQ) - ZA12-C

Choose by size first of all. I have somewhat bigger hands (or long fingers rather) at 20cm, and I've tried well over 30 mice. Anything under 124-125mm length is too small for me, 125-130 is good for palm/hybrid grip. \- Zowie ZA12-C or anything else from C-series (with reduced weight) or their wireless mice. \- G Pro X Superlight 1/2 is a very safe choice in both shape and sturdiness \- Razer Deathadder V3/Pro is a decent ergo shape. Delux M900 / M900 Pro is a great clone of it

might be my new main hopefully. was trying to look for a za12-c with its knuckle contact but a little more filling in the palm just so it feels more secure in the hand

Got the S2-C and yep I think i’m good with it until it stops working but feels so durable I think it could easily reach 5 years

if you're not afraid to go used, there are some great older wired mice like zowie b/c series, xm1's, vaxee etc.. floating around on mousemarket or ebay with probably better tech than those listed. it might take some more time but I'm sure people still have some wired mice kicking around in storage somewhere. edit: issue is mostly US only :(

Zowie c series or endgame gear for a quality and durable mouse

Buy zowie c series mouse or the endgame gear xm2 8k

Zowie mice are super well made and long lasting and they have buttons underneath to change DPI and polling, no software. The wireless mice aren't cheap though, you'll need to look at a wired version.

I have a BenQ Zowie wired mouse, and it’s amazing. No frills, high quality.

non pro viper wireless, razer deathadder, i'd argue g305 lightspeed, xtrfy m42, wired zowie, superlight 1, glorious wired, some lgg mice, some vaxee mice, endgame gear op1k. All these are like 25-80€ if my quick currency version is right. Some of these are wireless too. Especially if you snipe a sale you can get a really good deal. in "top tier mice" I mean the ones that are basically the same shape as the "standards", superlight 2, viper v3 pro, deathadder v3 pro, etc. Obviously the tech is a bit worse, but we were hitting insane shots on mice 15+ years ago, even the worse mice are 100% good enough. 4k/8k polling doesnt change that much, and thats the major sell of the more expensive mice. I've managed to pick up qck+ for like 10€ on average the last few years, always on sale somewhere. Otherwise a sale on a lgg saturn (standard), zowie gsr (any version you prefer). Qck might not be the longest lasting, but it's usually on a good sale so you never really have to fork out more than AT MOST 40€ a year on it if you're really picky with pad and swap it 4x a year, but most ppl usually keep it for 6-24 months atleast.
