I'm using a Logitech G502 mouse and it got the dual mode mouse wheel. That was one of the reason I chose it because it really is awesome to be able to switch to free scroll wheel when browsing and click scroll when gaming.

Hold up... are you saying the G502 has the dual mode hyperfast scrolling wheel?! was under the assumption it didn't have it! I am now seriously considering getting this model if that is true. It has the programmable buttons and on-board memory too, by the looks of it. Does it also work as a wireless mouse or does the cable not come off?

I have the G502 as well. It does have the dual mode wheel. Only wired though. I still love it, my favorite mouse so far.

Thanks for the confirmation! Although wired only... hmm... I'll have to consider this carefully.
(I am admittedly this close to just grabbing it though :)

Logitech's G602 might be more your style then. Wireless, and the body's a bit like a crossbreed between the G502 and the MX series.
Curious though, why do you prefer wireless over wired?

Yeah, I mentioned below that I had also been considering that one. However, I am not sure if the 602 has the dual mode scroll, which is a big deal for me.
As for why I prefer wireless, 1) less general clutter on my desk, 2) sometimes this weird annoying situation where the wire gets stuck in a way where it doesn't bend well and and ends up hindering mouse movement and needs to be "reset" (I wonder if you get what I mean), and 3) for those situations when I'm streaming to the living room with SteamLink.

I have the G502 as well, and yes, it does have the dual-mode scroll wheel.
I switched from the G9x a while back, and love the feel of the G502 (speaking as someone with large hands and long fingers). I can use it comfortably in both claw and palm grip. (To be fair, the claw grip might not be as comfortable for someone with smaller hands.)

I've been considering getting the Logitech G602, it looks like it may be vaguely similar in shape? It certainly has enough buttons.

Yeah, I've also considered that one before. Do you happen to know if that one has the dual mode scroll wheel? That feature is kind of a big deal for me.

You mean scrolling side to side? Found someone asking the same question on a forum, answer was no :(
I'd love to know what mouse you end up going with, looks like our requirements are pretty similar, I agree it's a useful function.

I don't mean horizontal scrolling, I mean the ability to switch from regular click to click scrolling (like every mouse does) to just free spinning - which is great for web surfing or scrolling through long documents, etc. Check out the video that Loevli posted above to see what I mean.

Oh I've never seen that before. Based on amazon review it seems it doesn't. I think I may get that 502.
EDIT: not wireless :(

I have a Sharkoon Shark Force and i am very happy with it. I had a Logitech that Mx-smothing that broke down and i was very sad because i could not find a low price good mouse. I bought a second within 2 days to be sure to have an extra when this breaks.

Just came to say that I love your giveaway's description :D
(Also, I'm going to need a new mouse in the near future, too :/ I can't recommend you any though, sorry.)

I always go with logitech, for no particular reason. Maybe I'm just used to them.

Cheers for the links. Well, the first one won't ship to my location, and I'd rather prefer new to refurbished anyway. The second one's design I don't really like at all, I'm afraid. I'm a big fan of the no-nonsense jet black of the classic 700 model :)

A classic, really. Also has giveaways, as you wanted it in your title :)

I keep dismantling and cleaning and slightly modifying (inserting small bits of paper towels or taping in bits of plastic) my own favorite mouse, the Logitech MediaPlay. I have extras of it just in case, but continually repairing it has been good for its longevity. Depending on how attached you are to your particular mouse, you could always give that a shot.
Edit: and now I've read at least one other reply suggesting a repair, so I guess you already have that suggestion. :)

No idea, sorry. I always just take the mouse with the best reviews around 30-40 bucks :P
Watch out for the bump! :3

Hi,
I used LogiTech mouse. It fit underneath the palm and was so comfortable to use. Right now I am just using a cheap gaming mouse but looking into more comfortable options. I am thinking about using a vertical mouse like this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DW9O5wDX2jo. Not sure how good it is for gaming.

My trusty beloved Logitech G700 that I bought in 2013 is on its last legs. The left and right buttons don't register as well at times, and it's a bit of a pain when dragging and dropping and also in some games. This is the best mouse I have ever owned: it has 13 fully programmable and easy to reach buttons, 5 different user profiles, seamless dpi settings that are changable on the fly, wired and wireless operation with rechargable user replaceable Enerloop battery and a dual mode scroll wheel that can be changed from click-to-click to free spin hyperfast scroll. This is the awesome wheel that Logitech first introduced with the MX Revolution in 2007 which I had prior to this model and I simply cannot live without now. Seriously, there's no going back after using this amazing wheel. I would buy the G700 again in a heartbeat, the only problem is it has since been discontinued and Amazon now carries it for a cool 350 bucks. As much as I love this mouse, my readiness (and wallet) has limits.
My problem is I don't know how I should replace the G700. An obvious choice would probably be Logitech's current top of the line productivity mouse, the MX Master 2S. This mouse has the same ergonomic shape as the G700 and also has that awesome dual mode wheel, but it has less buttons than the latter. I've come to really like my multitude of buttons, which are not only great for gaming but also for productivity tasks like photo and video editing. So I'm not sure if I would be happy with the MX Master.
On the other hand, there are the Logitech G Series mice. Most of these seem to have lots of programmable buttons, but I don't think they have that amazing wheel I talked about earlier. (Or do they? Does anybody know for sure? The website doesn't really say). They also don't seem to have that ergonomic shape I am so fond of that started with the MX Revolution. I don't know why Logitech doesn't make them anymore like they used to and combine the features I want, just like in the G700.
Do you have any advice on what mouse I should get? I would like a wireless mouse if possible with a lot of programmable buttons, an ergonomic shape that fits the hand (it does not need to be ambidextrous, right hand is fine) and that dual mode scroll wheel (or someting of equivalence) that I keep going on about. GIBAWAYBonus points if it looks halfway sensible and doesn't scream PROGAMERRGB2DAMAX!!!1! in its design. I've only used Logitech mice since 1997 (each one has lasted me years), but I am willing to switch for the right mouse.
UPDATE
I have made my choice: After much consideration I decided to go for the Logitech G502 Hero. I had to sacrifice the wireless capability, but apart from that the mouse has everything I want (remember the wheel?) and although I have yet to properly test it in games, I like how it feels and functions in Windows. Some people suggested I fix the switches in my G700 and I might just do that. For now it's relegated to office duty and has replaced my generic no name piece of crap mouse there, so that's cool. Thanks to everyone who chimed in with their comments, I have read every one, even if I didn't reply to them all. Also, here's a fun list!
