We will be in touch
Can anyone recommend one that actually works well? Had a couple over the years and they have been useless
If you're using it on a laptop, then get the one with the smallest dongle. I need to be very careful when lifting my laptop that i dont snap the dongle off because it sticks out 32mm.
Microsoft or logitech have always been seamlessly reliable for me.
If you'll use it out and about get a cheap one too as you'll end up leaving it behind. As per ^^ Logitech or Microsoft from Argos is my usual.
Logitech MX Master 2 paired with a Logitech Craft keyboard, utter bliss.
Logitech M705 with the tiny unifying dongle for me. Has been working flawlessly for several years and as it takes a pair of AA batteries, they last a good length of time too - smaller mice with AAAs will require much more frequent replacement.
logitech m505 here. can't remember the last time I changed the batteries.
For laptops, I use a Microsoft Arc Touch mouse.

Not cheap, but works flawlessly and packs into a bag nicely. For desktops, I use trackballs.
As an Apple fanboi, I always choose Microsoft mouses. I buy a new one for each gig 🤪
I have a Bluetooth Logitech M590 Multi-device silent here. So far so good.
If price or size is not an issue then go for Logitech MX Master 2.
I've got an Anker wireless vertical mouse - it's a bit bulky, but has completely got rid of severe wrist pain I used to have using a normally oriented mouse.

It's just like a normal mouse, but the grip is canted over 60 degrees or so.
Wireless always works without issue & batteries probably last 2 months - I never turn it off.
I use it at work for 3D CAD, so it gets used 5 days a week for the majority of my working day. Must be at least 2 years old now, if not more.
Bought one of these 3 years ago when they were £5 https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B076SC6ZJS?tag=opr-mkt-opr-uk-21&ascsubtag=1ba00-01000-ubp00-win10-other-nomod-uk000-pcomp-feature-scomp-wm-5&ref=aa_scomp
It's never not worked.
It's basic but it works and weighs nothing
Second the vertical mouse. You don't realise how good it is until you use one.
I'm still not convinced by my vertical mouse (Anker wired), whilst your wrist is in a more natural position it then places pressure on the bony bit on the outside of the wrist/hand bit (whatever the technical term is...), rather than on your palm which is much more padded. I guess a mouse mat/wrist pad might help...
Logitech MX Master 2S

I've got this Microsoft 900.
It's been great. Tiny little dongle, battery has lasted ages so far. Cheap. All good.
Logitech M570 it's ace , ipazzport keyboard though's a bit Meh!
Logitech bluetooth M535. Laptops have fewer USB sockets these days, so a decent BT connection saves one light-charging port from the logitech dongle. And mine is blue to match the BT keyboard.

Yeh I use it in conjunction with a mouse mat that has a gel wrist pad.
Solved my RSI type bother. Would recommend. You get used to the shape in a day or so, although the first day is a bit tricky.
