Need help with finding a quiet wireless mouse!

I'm looking for a new mouse for my new build because my current one is quite inaccurate. The catch is it has to be quiet. Nothing more annoying than incessant clicking noise!

Currently I'm using a Mofii G52 Wireless Optical Whisper-quiet Mouse with 2.4 GHz Nano USB wireless receiver. It's a cheap mouse and I've gone through several of them over the past couple of years. It's quiet to the point of being literally inaudible. I have to bring it within 3 inches of my ear just to barely hear the click. (image below)

Unfortunately, its accuracy leaves a lot to be desired. FPS gaming is pretty bad with it, as is any kind of design work that I do. Even leading it to the edge of a window to resize it is a real pain sometimes. Also, I see it's not available on Amazon anymore so when this one breaks down, I'm screwed. I'm not looking for pinpoint sniping accuracy but just something better than a cheapo $10 mouse.

My favorite mouse before this one was the Logitech M510 but its clicking was very loud so that's why I switched.

Wireless is imperative. I haven't used a wired mouse for over a decade and it's a breath of fresh air not to have to deal with a cord.

Cheaper the better but I'm willing to compromise if it's durable. I have a medical condition which causes me to mash the buttons with high pressure which is the reason my mice die after a year or so.

Oh, and it should have a scroll wheel and two side buttons.

So to summarize priority: wireless, quiet, accurate, durable or cheap, in that order.

Thanks!

If at all possible go to various office supply stores, big box stores, or other retail establishments to actually try the wireless mice being offered.

That is the only way to ensure that any given mouse meets your requirements for quiet and durability.

There is a lot to be said for a literal hands on approach to selecting a mouse. (And a keyboard as well.)

Find a mouse or two that meet your requirements. Read professional reviews and comments made by confirmed purchasers. Check the manufacturer's website and read the User Guide/Manual, the FAQs, and Forum comments regarding the mouse.

Price the mouse online. If the store price is higher they may or may not match the online price. Most stores will match a lower price especially if you provide a lower price link that happens to be within the store's own website.

Also: May be worth a few extra dollars to obtain an extended warranty if additional warranty is available. Generally not as the fine print often negates many of the warranted items. Read carefully before deciding about any extended warranty.

Thank you, but I could not find any that were quieter than normal. There are just a couple stores around here with mice out on display and they're all either regular mice in different sizes or what Walmart thinks is a gaming mouse... lol.
