I have a Logitech G502 and I'm not even a gamer. I just like to stay wired and have a responsive mouse alongside my Das Model S Professional "Silent" (Cherry MX Brown) mechanical keyboard. They are plugged into my Lenovo docking station for my laptop.

Logitech G303 Mouse & Logitech G512 Carbon Tactile Keyboard.

Logitech G502.

  • Adjust DPI on the fly
  • Switch scroll wheel between free spin and the more traditional scroll
  • 11 Programmable buttons (3 of those are the scroll wheel - left, right and click which i don't really count)
  • Change DPI on the fly
  • Adjustable weights
  • Onboard memory
  • You can turn off the RGB (Lights annoy me)
  • Has software in the Solus repository called "piper" to change mouse settings (Supports a lot of Logitech stuff)

I'm happy with it. Only cost me like $70~ AUD on ebay with promotional code, which i think is a fair price. Most popular Australian retail outlets were trying to sell it for $109 AUD. I hate how expensive mouses have gotten. I previously had a Razer Naga (the original one) and it lasted what feels like 10 years but I really didn't want to spend $139 AUD on the new Razer Naga Trinity.

    amen!

      Shocks me to see Logitech has the upper echelon of the market for you all. Had no clue.
      I have a bottom of the barrel K series Logi wireless mouse/key. Nothing fancy at all. Doesn't feel ergonomically wonderful. I have to bang the crumbs out of the keyboard every couple weeks. Does what $40 USD (for the combo) needs it to do. Nothing magical.

      If you are into the whole brick and mortar experience like I am, it's the monopoly mouse; the people's mouse I guess.
      That's a generational difference. In no brick and mortar store in the usa will you see the high-end logitech mice and keys you all refer to. Just the low end like mine. My experience anyway. Interesting thread.

      Still makes me wonder: where is their competition?

        brent Is this the kind of mouse you'll see in schools and offices?

            That is the question!

            Skimming through all the mouse manufacturers i can think of not many work in linux unless as i said u go for the driverless mice.
            For example Roccats linux drivers that used to be praised are now abandoned Razer linux drivers work but getting a newish mouse supported also seems hard.

            Which leaves Logitech that seems reasonably updated..

                I use a "Talon-Blu" mouse, Ambidextrous, adjustable DPI up to 3000, nice Blue LED, quality wheel is forgiving of greasy fingers too...lol, and cost effective, under $50 USD.

                Fatih19 schools, office, my house, your house, your mechanic's entrance, your church, your grandma...left click right click wheel and wireless. Basic mouse. I'm just saying I've never walked into a usa electronics store (I visit plenty) and seen what was in this great thread as far as high-end logitech stuff. Interesting that it's mostly one company. Don't get me wrong: a usb mouse and keyboard is primitive to me...

                  [deleted] interesting isn't it? I'd say by design but things morph too fast anymore. good research.

                    I use the Logitech MX Anywhere 2, I can truly recommend it. I wish it was a little bit more quiet on button click, but other than that this is the perfect mouse for me.
                    I'm also thinking about buying a Logitech keyboard. How could I set it up so that the mouse and the keyboard would use the same unifying receiver?

                    I use a 5 years old SteelSeries Sensei Raw that just wont die. It still works just as good as new and it’s even possible to configure using libratbag on Linux. A wonderful mouse and I can’t find any mouse that I like as much as that one.

                    On one of my other computers I use an even older Microsoft mouse. This one too just keeps on working and it looks and functions just as new.

                    [deleted] Kind of yeah. There’s also two tools called libratbag and piper. They together allow you to configure a lot of mice with a great user interface application...

                      I use a Cooler Master Ghost Storm Recon for same years now, it was a good purchase. I was influenced by a forum in Brazil, who have some experts on peripheral analysis, and my mouse had a 8/10 evaluation and was availabe on the brazilian market.

                      Loving the Logitech MX Master 2S Wireless Mouse.

                      [deleted] I ordered a Logitech G403 Prodigy - apparently it has a onboard memory so i can store whatever macro i want to the top button! Ill let you know when it arrives after the weekend - thanks forall the replies 🙂

                      Got the mouse a couple of minutes ago, installed piper with libratbag, fired it up and set my keys the way i like it and that was that.

                      Hassle free! loving it!

                      edit: spoke too soon! Turns out it doesnt save to onboard memory so when i reboot the rgb goes crazy until i login and the drivers gets to do their thing. Still loving it 😛
