Need Recommendation on New Mouse or Fix for Issue

undrac86

The short of it, I need a better mouse for gaming. One that either will last longer or a fix to help with one I already have.

 

Need good information on Switches and if I can swap the current ones out of my ROCCAT for something more durable.

    OR

New Mouse

  • Optical
  • Wired Only
  • Height = 3.9cm to 4.2cm
  • Switches don't fail after a year of use

 

Current Favorite: ROCCAT KONE AIMO (Good Mouse, but main trigger dies after a year of use)

 

 

// Notes

I play FPS 99.999% of the time.

 

I tried looking in the Small-Medium-Large vs Palm-Claw-FTIP. I'm pretty sure I'm and Small to Medium Claw based on what I've read, but applying that knowledge to mice is challenging since I can't look at them physically or try them out.

 

Notes on the ROCCAT KONE AIMO: It has been a perfect fit for my hands, but the ROCCATS keeps dying after 1 year of use (I think the switches just keep dying). The mouse before that was the ROCCAT KONE and that lasted 6ish months and died for the same reason.

 

I did like the old Logitech's, but their mice are jumbo sized. I tried the Corsair Glaive RGB but that turned out to hurt my hand (why is there a huge hump in the middle of the mouse), plus the thumb cutout was stupidly designed.

 

Comfort for me might be the height. The ROCCATs are 4cm +/-0.2cm and I'm not sure what the going rate on Gaming Mice, but yeah... Would something that would last at least 2 years at a time.

Thanks in advance!

 

PS; I already know optical is better. :P

I currently have the ROCCAT KONE AIMO. Which has been a perfect fit for my hands, but it keeps dying after 1 year of use (Left Click goes out).

I think it might be the height since the ROCCATs are 4cm ~.2cm and I'm not sure what the going rate on Gaming Mice, but yeah... Would something that would last at least 2 years at a time.

I *think* I understand, but I need more info. Wireless? Programmable Keys, etc. 

We need more info to help.

Unless, you want a flat out random recommendation, in which I would suggest really any Logitech mouse, in particular the G305.

Hope this helps,
