I currently am using a wired Corsair iron claw, but it's rubber sides are starting to become bald from wear, and Corsair doesn't sell replacement parts. I love a mouse with side buttons, a wing, and a DPI toggle. But finding mice that are big enough to be comfortable is pretty rare. I've loved the Logitech g602 and Ironclaw so far.

Anything similar to the above, just without rubber? I prefer wired mice.

I know you have the preference for wired, but the Logitech MX master has been one of my favourite large mice and the wireless connection seemed pretty lag free. I'm currently using a Corsair wireless mouse, but I do not recommend.

I really like my MX master 2S (second only to my MX Vertical, because I get wrist pain), it's been really solid for programming, office tasks, light gaming and even some fps titles (I play almost exclusively arcade/non-competitive modes though). That said, I'm not sure I'd recommend it for OP, the MX line isn't known for using the best rubber materials (the rubber on mine is starting to wear out on the right side and on the scroll wheels - I know v3 switched to using metal scroll wheels which should help a bunch, but I'm not sure if they've changed/ fixed anything else).

I could be down to try wireless again. The latency on the 602 was pretty bad, but more than that, the mouse had a habit of needing to be charged during the middle of something important, which was really annoying. That's really why I went back to corded mice. Haven't charged this bad boy in about eight years. xD

Doesn’t connecting the mouse using USB-C make it a corded mouse? That’s the case with my Logitech vertical.

It does, but it depends a bit on the cable's quality too. One of my old mice had a braided cable that tended to stick on stuff. Wired mice are often significantly less expensive and weigh less. With Glorious mice, I think there's a difference of $35 and about 10g, which is something I think about.

This listing is kind of nice since it's easy to flip between the two

I don't think the mx master has dpi control, I haven't found it on mine.

[-] smegger@aussie.zone 1 points 6 days ago

Yeah it's been a long while since I used mine, had one of the first generation ones. But the lack of DPI control didn't particularly bother me, however I've never been much of a twitch gamer.

[-] Wahots@pawb.social 1 points 6 days ago

I'll be honest, I mainly keep the same DPI levels. Buuuut, every once in awhile, there's a few indie titles with really weird sensitivity levels (eg, The Forest) that make having a DPI switch really nice. Some games and productivity programs also benefit from lower or higher DPI profiles on the fly. I'm the type of person that downloads the mouse bloatware once, configures things, then uninstalls it, haha.
