I hope this community is the right one.

I’ve had a Razer Basilisk Essential for at least 5 years, and it’s starting to give up (left click starting not to work properly).

So I’m looking for a mouse to replace it, the main problem I’ve found with this one is that I can’t open it just to clean it. I’d like to be able to do that with the new one.

Otherwise, I think it’s perfect, I like the layout of the buttons (I don’t want one with less or more, just the same).

Do you have any advice?

    G305. Cheap, fantastic sensor and latency. Three months of wireless battery life, and when it does run out, you just load another rechargeable AA.

    And if you want it lighter, just shove in a AAA with a piece of balled up aluminium foil.

    My last one died after years and years of service, and I immediately bought the same exact mouse. Didn’t even need to get rechargeables, this time, the ones I already got are still fine.

    I love g502 wireless and g pro wireless. I had 2 Razer deatheradders 2013 (purchases in 2014) that both had left click issues within a couple months of purchase which made me move away from Razer.

      Not sure how they are with opening up to clean, probably just as awful, but I also have really enjoyed Logitech mice for many years now.

    A Candida for a new mouse?

    Albicans think of is the Logitech Marathon I use. That’s probably not what you’re after.

    Fungus.

    I keep going back to the Basilisk, it’s a great mouse. I’ve got two running concurrently at home and in the office.

    Opening it up is not all that hard actually, but the screws are hidden under the gliding pads. You can buy replacement ones with adhesive, or just stick them back on with a drop of hot glue. I’ve done just that after my cable gave up, had to cut a piece out where it was breaking. Just too freaking long.

    You want to embrace growing the Candida fungus!? You should stick to gaming mouses…
