I currently am using a wired Corsair iron claw, but it’s rubber sides are starting to become bald from wear, and Corsair doesn’t sell replacement parts. I love a mouse with side buttons, a wing, and a DPI toggle. But finding mice that are big enough to be comfortable is pretty rare. I’ve loved the Logitech g602 and Ironclaw so far.
Anything similar to the above, just without rubber? I prefer wired mice.
I know you have the preference for wired, but the Logitech MX master has been one of my favourite large mice and the wireless connection seemed pretty lag free. I’m currently using a Corsair wireless mouse, but I do not recommend.
I really like my MX master 2S (second only to my MX Vertical, because I get wrist pain), it’s been really solid for programming, office tasks, light gaming and even some fps titles (I play almost exclusively arcade/non-competitive modes though). That said, I’m not sure I’d recommend it for OP, the MX line isn’t known for using the best rubber materials (the rubber on mine is starting to wear out on the right side and on the scroll wheels - I know v3 switched to using metal scroll wheels which should help a bunch, but I’m not sure if they’ve changed/ fixed anything else).
I used to have an MX series mouse all through highschool and into my early 20s and the only reason I dont have one now is because they had discontinued them and the one I had just got used into destruction. I literally wore a hole through the plastic in the left button 😳
Seeing they have a revival of it, I’m gonna have to get one myself and see if they are still as awsome.
I could be down to try wireless again. The latency on the 602 was pretty bad, but more than that, the mouse had a habit of needing to be charged during the middle of something important, which was really annoying. That’s really why I went back to corded mice. Haven’t charged this bad boy in about eight years. xD
Doesn’t connecting the mouse using USB-C make it a corded mouse? That’s the case with my Logitech vertical.
It does, but it depends a bit on the cable’s quality too. One of my old mice had a braided cable that tended to stick on stuff. Wired mice are often significantly less expensive and weigh less. With Glorious mice, I think there’s a difference of $35 and about 10g, which is something I think about.
This listing is kind of nice since it’s easy to flip between the two

Pardon my asking, but aren’t wireless mice actually FASTER than corded mice? Weird to have a “latency” issue with the 602, but then have gone back to a corded instead.
Edit: Answered my own question - wireless mouse aren’t faster, but they aren’t any slower either, usually coming in at around 10ms of latency across a LARGE range of devices, both corded and wireless. No way in ass you’re going to be able to tell the difference between a 10ms mouse and a 14ms mouse.
I also have a standing desk, so my wireless receiver is pretty far from the actual PC (on the floor, weighs too much for the desk motors). Latency issues aside, I ditched wireless because I was constantly having to swap/charge batteries in the middle of something important. I’d consider going back, as I’m sure most mice have longer battery life these years. It had “30 day” battery life, but only if you turned it off whenever it wasn’t in use. It got annoying, haha.
Back in uni, I was using a 90s wooden desk with a pull-out mousepad for the g602. There was noticeable lag, which was a bit unfortunate. I only realized that after using someone’s corded no-name mouse from Amazon and was amazed at how responsive it was. Ooof. Even having the receiver close didn’t fix it!
I don’t think the mx master has dpi control, I haven’t found it on mine.
Yeah it’s been a long while since I used mine, had one of the first generation ones. But the lack of DPI control didn’t particularly bother me, however I’ve never been much of a twitch gamer.
I’ll be honest, I mainly keep the same DPI levels. Buuuut, every once in awhile, there’s a few indie titles with really weird sensitivity levels (eg, The Forest) that make having a DPI switch really nice. Some games and productivity programs also benefit from lower or higher DPI profiles on the fly. I’m the type of person that downloads the mouse bloatware once, configures things, then uninstalls it, haha.
