If your budget stretches far enough, don't discount a graphics tablet either. It takes a bit to get used to, but could be more comfortable to use depending on what you're doing. Brian, can the Logitech wireless mice be used wired as well (e.g. with a USB cable), or are they strictly wireless? Wireless is cool, but I don't want to have to buy batteries; for a mouse that I use at my desk, I can live with that compromise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antler Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 One thing I forgot to mention about the 502: the mouse wheel can tilt left/right, which is great where application support is available. However, the wheel itself has a smooth finish (rather than rubbery). It's got notches in it, so you get grip from that, but for the first few days my finger was sliding over the wheel (rather than turning it) until I got used to it.

StudioNSFW Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 (edited) Am I a weirdo that I really, really prefer a trackball? Takes up less room on a desktop than a mousepad, is always in the same spot when I reach for it, 4 buttons so "copy" and "paste" get their own... And back when I played games on a PeeCee - better accuracy for fragging. I recommend the Kensingtom Expert Mouse trackball: https://www.kensington.com/p/products/control/trackballs/expert-mouse-wired-trackball/ You can find them for around $60-$70 typically.

I would hate that so thanks for mentioning. Also, for batteries you could use rechargeable batteries and you have to buy a charger probably under $20.

Christian Jones Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 I've been trying to score a deal on a Logitech G602 since yesterday and these stupid @ss deals keep slipping away from me 😡 lol I was on Amazon about to score a new g602 this morning for a little over $25 when someone yanked it right out of my shopping cart before I could check out, it was the last one. Same thing happened on eBay where I sent a best offer and in the meantime someone bought it. F no I'm not paying $50 for one after coming so close to getting it for $25 lol. Now I have to wait a another deal and I don't wanna wait d@mn it this is 'merica! I want it last week! But yeah I'm gonna score a Logitech g602, after checking it out and hearing about it here that's the mouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that it says anything about you NOT being a weirdo (😁), but I think most of the recommendations above ARE for some kind of trackball (or thumb-ball). I still have a few of the Expert Mouse trackballs in my PC bin. These were our secret advantage when we were gaming. We used them at work and got VERY good at quickly changing our aim. In the Counter Strike league we were in, our two squads ended up being first and second before we quit. The mods watched a lot of our videos because the n00bs were always accusing us of cheating. 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigb Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 I'm going to guess that the mods installed a new censor-bot to prevent S.L.I.P. from answering that question! 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
