Hi @TylerD

I am going through a mouse hunt at the moment

Used a Logitech MX Revolution for years. Was extremely comfortable. It died a few months ago. Sad times for me

Just got the new replacement for it, the Logitech Performance MX. Also wireless. Been using it for aboit two weeks
Very comfortable too, lovely shape. Same shape as the MX Revolution. Its a bigger mouse, so sits nicely.
I love the hyper fast scroll wheel. Helps a ton for long docs and websites. Not sure if you will need that though

Only thing i dont like about this mouse is it makes tiny noises when its moved. Can only hear it when things are very quiet. Otherwise i am really liking it. Takes a rechargeable penlight battery. Can use it while recharging - just plug it into usb. I havent charged it yet. Has lasted a few weeks already with the factory charge.

I use a Razer Goliathus mouse pad. Only got it a week ago. Used to use the mouse for years on my wooden desk without a mouse pad. Best thing I ever did to invest in a proper mousepad. Like night and day difference. This material mouse pad from Razer makes my mousing so smooth and precise. Cant believe I only discovered it now.

Am enjoying learning and researching mice. This thread is most interesting. Thanks guys for all the infomrative posts.

I'll have a look at the Logitech Performance MX. Looks like a nice Ergonomic mouse. I like!
Is the sound it makes a kind of a peep peep sound?

Thanks everyone! Really appreciate all the feedback. Now I can make a much better decision! Thanks Y'all!

Found the RAT series rather uncomfortable despite all the adjustables. That was coming from using a Razer death adder. Currently using a steelseries mouse. Pretty plain and comfortable.

I have the Ouroboros as well. The best part of it for me is that it's right and left handed. Us lefties get a rough deal in the peripheral world.

Lol @TylerD , peep peep
Its like the sound of electronics doing their thing. Quite high pitched. I googled it and discovered that many others also found this issue. Its very slight and can only be heard if you are in an absolutely quiet room. You wont hear it in a normal office environment. It really isnt a deal breaker at all for me but only a minor negative.

I think your decision on a mouse should revolve around wireless vs wired, shape of mouse and then additional features. The high end gaming mice allow for so many features like changing DPI settings on the fly and programmable buttons etc. but for me i want a wireless one because i prefer it - the cord gets in the way sometimes. And i wanted a mouse that feels good in the hand. I find the bigger ones are more comfortable for me. Then i want the hyper fast scroll wheel. So this mouse of mine does it all very well. The sound it makes is not a problem. Just mentioned it so you know.
