Wondering if any of you have a mouse you use that you think is great. It should also be larger than average and have extra buttons that can be programmed.

I have been very faithful to the X-31 (pic8.co) mouse. It’s large, but I wish it was just a tad bigger. It’s accurate and has been surprisingly durable for an inexpensive Chinese no-namer.

My only complaints about the X-31 are that I wish it was a bit bigger, and I REALLY wish there was an on/off switch. It has an automatic shut down that gets turned back on with a click, but it’s very sensitive and easy to accidentally turn it back on. This sometimes leads to me unknowingly starting screen recordings that can eat my entire hard drive (extra buttons are mapped to take screenshots, screen recordings, etc). I also wish this mouse had more buttons.

So, do any of you have use a mouse that fits the bill? I’d appreciate a price point under $50 unless it comes with a rock solid warranty that covers drops.

I use a Logitech M720 for work. The scroll wheel has a toggle for clicks or free spinning (I scroll a lot). You can toggle between three Bluetooth connections (useful if you're operating multiple devices). No complaints about battery life.

I have that one. Got it from dell for nearly free when they had a rewards promo going with Alienware. The multiple connections is cool. But it’s not comfortable for me and doesn’t have many buttons to program. **

It's on the pricier side, but the coolermaster storm sentinel III is nice. I use it at home. One of the side buttons can function as a 'shift' button, allowing alternate programmable functions for every other button.

Also, have you ever looked at foot peripheral devices? The elgato stream deck pedal is great. The software makes programming super easy and you can save as many profiles as you want. There's a function to automatically switch profiles based on which program window is active.

Need wireless but that mouse does look nice. Foot pedals!?!? Holy shit. I never even thought of that. And that just reminded me of a young lady I used to date who was a stenographer. Her machine had foot pedals.

But anyway, thanks!
