My current mouse, a Logitech G600, is starting to double-click after a couple years of use. Apparently this has become a common issue for the mechanical switches of modern Logitech mice, and gives me an excuse to search for a new mouse that better suits me.

The G600 has 12 buttons on the side of it, which I thought would be useful in certain programs, but I hated using the mapping software on Windows, and ended up never mapping those extra buttons to anything.

So now, I’d like to focus on a simpler mouse that has good Linux support, or alternatively, doesn’t require any form of additional software.

I’d also rather get something that won’t become e-waste (I plan to solder a new switch into my old mouse and sell it on to fund the new mouse, to prevent it becoming e-waste as well), something that is highly repairable with plentiful replacement parts (aftermarket or OEM).

I’m good with either a wired or wireless mouse, but if it is wireless, Ideally it would use a AAA or AA battery, or a non-proprietary replaceable Lithium battery.

If you know of anything that fits those two bills, I’d certainly appreciate your recommendation! :)

    If they or someone made a mmo mouse that was opensource I would explode.

    Edit also I have a mouse from them it’s shockingly good as a daily driver.
