Just to start off, I absolutely love this mouse for these reasons:

  • I love the led style (it’s enough, and not obnoxious)
  • Material of the mouse itself + material of side grips (for thumb and pinky)
  • 3 buttons on the side; I don’t want more than like 4, and I like how my thumb isn’t resting on the buttons normally
  • Sleek design, and it’s small-ish size and arch is perfect for my small hands

My only issue is that it randomly disconnects (wirelessly) and then reconnects, maybe once every 3 days. I use the 2.4ghz dongle, not bluetooth. I had already went through troubleshooting with support who gave me a new dongle. My dongle is maybe 5 feet from the mouse, on top of my tower

Preferably, I would also like a mouse with more battery life, I feel like if I don’t charge it overnight then it’ll run out of battery, so I plug it in every night (which isn’t the end of the world, but a minor annoyance)

I know wireless devices won’t be perfect, but I can’t stand feeling the cable (or seeing it even, I know they make bungees) so I can’t go back. Are my occasional disconnects going to always happen no matter what mouse I get? I would love to see some recommendations if you guys have a mouse you think I would like that almost never has issues

Edit: Also forgot that I like heavy mice, hence using the added weights inside the Rival 650

    I’m a big fan of Logitech mice, and their G Pro X Superlight has been my daily mouse for the past six months or so. They have a mousepad that acts as a charger (and connector) so you never have to worry about charging.

    It’s not heavy at all, but you can add weights I believe.
