My Razer Naga Pro died and I’m absolutely not buying another one for what it costs. But I also can’t seem to find a replacement with the same sort of layout this one had. I’ll link a picture, but I’m essentially looking for a mouse that has a lot of side buttons but still has a place for me to rest my thumb without having to worry about accidentally pressing buttons. I don’t really like 12 button MMO style mice for this reason, as I constantly feel like I’m going to accidentally press a button. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Edit: I also want to note that I’m right handed, and I hate the feel of ambidextrous mice. I like being able to lay my hand on the mouse and know exactly where my fingers are supposed to go.
I loved my G604, but after a year (days after warranty expired ofc) it suffered from the common Omron switch corrosion “double click” issue. In practice, it dropped button-holds and clicked again. Imagine dragging a window, it drops it, and randomly clicks somewhere else on screen, but all while you’re holding the button down.
It was a great one year though. That was probably my last Logitech product, though many other brands use those switches too. AFAIK the problem mainly affected wireless mice. From what I’ve read, the switches require a certain voltage to prevent corrosion, but when Logitech and other brands improperly use them in wireless mice, the battery-saving features don’t meet the power requirement.
Maybe they’ve since fixed it, but I personally wouldn’t recommend this mouse unless you’re comfortable opening it up and cleaning the contacts or replacing the switches someday - or don’t mind keeping a 2nd one handy.
Yeah, I got tired of soldering new switches on my Logitech mice. It’s the only reason I ended up with a Razer for my latest mouse, optical switches that physically cannot get double click failure. Logi isn’t the only one with the double click failures, Razer traditional switch mice fail for me even faster than logi.
FWIW I’ve been using Logitech mice for decades at home and at work: Overall, problems seem to be pretty rare and Logitech usually fixes stuff if you contact their support, I’ve even had them replace stuff that was out of warranty. My current daily drivers are an MX Master, MX Verticle, and MX Anywhere. Not exactly gaming mice but they’ve been working great for years. Might be different swtiches?
I have a G502 Hero that had the bad Omron switches that would give double clicks. I ended up swapping them out for some Kailh switches, but its def only a fix you can do if you’re comfortable with a soldering iron.
I would hope this defect would be solved by now, cuz I got this mouse in around 2018
At this point it’s not a defect, it’s planned.
How did you choose the switches? I’ve read they need to be rated for very low currents or something?
