Hello all! I am looking for suggestions for a new mouse since what I have now is very old and the usb cable is falling apart, messing with the connection and also the mouse3 button is broken. I want it to be durable and at a budget of 20-35€. Do you have any suggestions?

Something between claw and palm.

~~Same. I have medium-large hands and I'm a big g600 simp~~ ~~Edit: if you're thinking about something wireless, the mxmaster mice are super comfy.~~

Nevermind. Good luck!

I have a Logitech G604 and it works flawlessly with piper to setup the extra buttons.

This is my favorite mouse.

I can recommend Logitech G102/203. It's smaller in size, so it's comfortable mostly for claw or fingertip grip users.

It's also supported by libratbag / Piper 🥰

You get what you pay for (if you do your research, like you are). Personally I'm willing to spend a bit more on peripherals, I spend a looot of time driving a mouse. I'll second the logitech recommendations and point out my 4 yr old MX Master 2 is still getting weeks on a charge, beat to hell, but still fully functional and better at gaming than any gaming mouse I ever had (looking at you razor, but if I look at you you'll die, like you did). If you do go logi, check out logiops, realy useful.

I have a Corsair and it doesn't always play nice with my AliExpress kvm. Works fine after a re-plug.

I would avoid Razer mice, I got two Mamba Elites and both of their mouse wheels are broken/bugged (if you scroll in one direction it scrolls back and forth, or scrolls twice when you want to scroll once). My sister got a Deathadder Elite and its mouse wheel is completely broken.

I picked up an Anker vertical mouse for like $12 from a used PC parts store and it's been working just as well in my opinion, pretty comfortable and still has a working scroll wheel.

Of course you could also buy a drawing tablet and set it to mouse/relative mode and play with that, which I did for a while, but the lack of a scroll wheel stops you from playing some games.
