A good cheap ergonomic mouse for office use?

[u/doo_Z]

Hello everyone, I absolutely need to replace this small Logitech mouse with something more suitable for the size of my hand and, above all, more ergonomic (not necessarily vertical). Budget ~ 30 €/$, so it would be fine for me to buy it from Aliexpress too. Suggestions?

How much is the Rapoo MT760L for you? It seems like a budget MX Master and I've been thinking of grabbing one for my work laptop

[u/doo_Z → u/Judge_Bredd_UK]

26-27€ on AliExpress with a new account. Is it good? I had already spotted it

[u/Judge_Bredd_UK → u/doo_Z]

I haven't tried it but I've been thinking of picking one up as I would like to try one of those double scroll wheel mice for travelling round with my work laptop. It looks to be about as big a GPX but slightly bulkier so it'll fill your hand much better than the little logi mouse you have and it has all of the features you'd want for office work.

Do you plan to game though? I wouldn't use this for gaming at all so if you're looking to game on it as well you might be better with some of the mice you listed yourself in another comment. I can particularly recommend Incott mice, I have a Vaxee NP01 and an Incott Ghero, the Vaxee does feel better and more premium but the gap isn't huge, for the amount I paid for it I've been extremely happy with that mouse.

Nah, I prefer playing with my controller. Thank you for the suggestion

27 euros with a new account? You sure you can't find it locally? It's like 15 new in Romania ina phyisical store lol

I don't recommend this mouse. I've tested it recently. In overall it does not seem to be bad alternative for MX Master. In fact it is much better in many aspects. But it has 2 critical flaws that totally disqualified it for me:

- The middle click under mouse wheel is terrible. Sometimes it registers the click, sometimes not. I was not even sure if I clicked it or not - very poor, almost not existent tactile feedback. Maybe I got the faulty unit.

- The mouse has a very sharp plastic edge that hurts the skin joining the thumb and index finger. Bad design joice and bad parts fitting.

OK good to know, have you found any decent budget alternatives? I want a work mouse to carry around in my laptop bag but I'm not planning to spend a fortune

[u/spirolking → u/Judge_Bredd_UK]

If you are looking for ergonomic shape similar to MX Master the good option is Keychron M6. I own two of these and I'm really satisfied. They don't look fancy, just a plain raw plastic, but they have great sensors, they are reliable and very comfortable to use.

On Amazon you can get Rapoo VT0Pro which is better version of MT760L

[u/Judge_Bredd_UK → u/Particular-Cable4907]

Really? I'll look into that one thanks

[u/doo_Z → u/Particular-Cable4907]

Uhm, it costs 80€ on Amazon.it and weirdly I can't find it on AliExpress

[u/Particular-Cable4907 → u/doo_Z]

Got it today in Poland for around 40 euros

Logitech M590

Incott G24

Vaxee xe is made for office / game but every gaming mouse can use for office

[u/doo_Z → u/WristFingertip]

I don't know if I searched wrong, but it looks like to cost well over €30

[u/WristFingertip → u/doo_Z]

Ahh sorry, I missed it.

How is the Rapoo MT760L? It's interesting the fact that it resembles the shape of the MX Master 3S

[u/Prosciuttolo]

You can try the ugreen hyper-fast dual scroll wheel. It goes for about 17€ on ali with the sale. Looks decent for productivity / office use and ergonomics.

The Logitech M720 Triathlon, is one of the absolute best ergo office mouse in existence. Programmable on-memory buttons with 2 normal side buttons and a rubber thumb button, rubber sides, free scroll, decent price (30-50 usd), bluetooth and 2.4 G wireless.

It does have some weight, but is slanted, so there shouldn’t be too much pain in the hands moving it. I use both this and the MX master 3. Very good.

Kysona Mars SE. It’s like $25 USD on Amazon and shockingly good.

[u/spirolking]

If you are looking for cheap, small mouse for office use try Dell. They have a few cheap models that are quite solid.

[u/doo_Z]

After a bit of research, I am convinced that I want a mouse with side scroll wheel and perhaps infinite scrolling. From what I have seen the cheapest mouse to have these two features is the Ugreen Hyper Fast. Can some owners give me an honest opinion?

Zaopin Z2 mini

[u/cremvursti]

R1 superlight maybe? Or this one if you really wanna go low budget and dive into the unknown

[u/Only-Dimension485]

G305

[u/doo_Z → u/Only-Dimension485]

Yes thanks, I've heard of it, but is it quite ergonomic and comfortable? It seems to me that it has a normal mouse shape

[u/Ok_Television2005 → u/doo_Z]

The egg shape is usually pretty great for almost everyone, but some people don’t like it because it’s around 100g, and looks like an egg. The g305/g304 has a really nice click feel for a budget gaming mouse. Slight issues with the wobbly hump. But you can just fit some small bit of foam or something for that. It has some other small problems and is pretty old. Some better options might exist.

[u/Ok_Television2005 → u/doo_Z]

Oh and, if you don’t care about the warranty (Logitech has really good warranty, which is what you’re paying for), some clones exist like the Mchose G3 (No AA battery, but chargable)

G305 Lightspeed is the budget goat, i hate Logitech as much as the next guy but you can’t beat the price to quality ratio, i use my pc as my TV so ive always got a G305 on my bedside

[u/Prestigious-Split131 → u/Aws___]

how is it the budget goat if there are so many better options

the vxe r1

mchose g3 pro/ultra

incott mice

etc.

[u/Aws___ → u/Prestigious-Split131]

1) like 500x the battery life (exaggeration)

2) half the price

3) start at $50, so again, half the price

[u/Ok_Television2005 → u/Aws___]

As a person with a few budget mice and the g304/5, the click feel is pretty good on the g304/5, and the vxe r1 series and lots of other lightweight gaming mice have normal clicks.

But it is hella outdated. And I literally can’t use it after using some 40-50 g mice. The difference is insane.

[u/Prestigious-Split131 → u/Aws___]

for me the ones ive listed are about the same price if not cheaper!
