I've used three computer mice and have tried out one other.
My first computer mouse was this $13 Staples wireless mouse (supposedly optical)

My second mouse was the Logitech G502 Proteus Core, I know, a massive step up
My third and current mouse is this Lenovo USB Laser mouse which was given to me by my school:

In the beginning, I loved my Staples mouse but I wanted something more, I had heard of gaming mice before but the idea hadn't interested me until then. I did some online research and the most commonly recommended mouse was the G502. At the time, the spectrum edition had not come out yet but I don't care about RGB or lighting in my peripherals at all. Online, people warned about how the mouse was too heavy for some users but I was but caught up in the moment of how amazing it sounded so I ignored them. I regret this.
I got the mouse and for the first three weeks or so, I was infatuated with it. But now, about 6 months later, I am using the Lenovo mouse that my school gave me. The funny thing is, when the school have it to me two years ago, I scoffed at it and pushed it aside to be forgotten. What caused me to switch from the G502 to this "cheap" Lenovo mouse?
The G502 was just too much: the weight, the size, the programmable buttons, the software, the thick braided cord, and the non-rubberized scroll wheel (not referring to hyperscrolling). But I miss the sensor, or at least I miss having an good optical one. What I love about the Lenovo mouse is that it is so light weight and the cord is short and the mouse is simple. But it does have a lser sensor. I wonder which reason going back to my Staples mouse is so unbearable: the wirelessness, the sensor, or both. Just because the sensor is optical doesn't mean it will feel nice.
Here is what I want in a mouse:
- Light or medium weight
- Optical sensor (it can be advanced if you want) without acceleration
- Less expensive if possible (although I am willing to pay higher amounts for value)
- Plug and play, no unnecessary software involved
- If wired, non-braided
I don't really care about having a lot of buttons or having RGB. I mostly use my mice to browse the internet or use documents with my mouse. I don't play games so often these days, but I still really appreciate a good sensor! Thank you for helping me!
