Looking for a new mouse.

[LAOK]

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy a new mouse, but I haven't had to look into this market in years. So I wanted to get a better idea as to what could work for me. I know the best way is to try them for yourself at a store, but the ones around me only have the generic/office mice out on the shelf. Almost anything over 25 pounds is locked up in a box. Plus I'd like to see if any of them have flaws that wouldn't be immediately obvious.

 

Right now I have the A4tech Bloody Gun3 v5 - https://www.performance-pcs.com/clearance-scratch-dent/mice-clearance/bloody-multi-core-gun3-gaming-mouse-v5-mo-v5.html and it's on it's last leg. The wheel barely works, the left button double clicks every time and the right one works half the time. So it's clearly the time to say goodbye.

 

One thing of note is that I have really big hands, so I value size and comfortable shape over any technical bells and whistles. This mouse is rather sizable at 125 x 64 x 39 and even then I can only get a claw grip on it. Though it is a comfortable one.

 

I don't have any preferable brands, don't care about RGB or extensive macros. I also tend to go for wired over wireless. Just best bang for buck, comfortable, large mouse that will last a long while. So from the research I've done I got it nailed down to these few mice:

Razer Basilisk V2
Razer Deathadder Elite
SteelSeries Rival 310

 

They are all around the same price (Basilisk is on a sale to match the rest), so that isn't a factor. Right now I would gravitate towards the Basilisk, but I'm not especially attached to the idea either.

 

I also heard that Razer Viper and Glorious Model-O are some of the most recommended mice, but they aren't all that big and I don't really know how comfortable the "super light weight" would be for me. Turns out the Gun3 I have right now is really heavy in comparison (155g), but I honestly didn't even realise it would be considered a heavy one. Also the Model-O seems like a nightmare to keep clean.

 

I also saw Logitech G502 HERO and MX Master 2S recommended here and there, but from what I've read Hero falls behind the others I mentioned in the overall performance and features and the 2S is more of a high end office mouse. It's also about 20 pounds more and I don't know if it's worth it. Though it is the only one of the mice mentioned above that I got to try out at the store and it does feel really nice. The side wheel also seems like a usefull addition.

 

Anyway, that's about what I've been able to gather on my own. Please share your thoughts, recommendations and any advice you could spare. Thank you.
