After the keyboard thread has convinced me to purchase a UHK I wanted to make one about the mouse. Switching to a programmable keyboard has made a much bigger than anticipated change in my day to day use. Now that I am no longer relying on my laptop keyboard/trackpad I wanted to see if people think the mouse makes a big difference and which ones are popular.

Best mouse I’ve had is the Logitech MX Master

However, I try to use my trackpad to make it easier to switch between the desktop and laptop… and I quite like the gestures

At work its a Logitech mouse on the wire (its software identifies it as G502 Proteus Spectrum), at home its a cheap no name.
Both mice are set up to use ~10k DPI.
Due to this high resolution, I can not work with mice that have a high latency, and none of the wireless mice we had at the office had a latency low enough to be usable
Despite beeing “gaming mice”. Maybe things got better in the last 3 years since I’ve choosen my mouse from the pool 
My mouse at home has a latency which is a bit too high for me, but I was not yet able to replace it, and probably won’t be until my wife finds a job, or I get some as a present

I like trackpoint. And I choose laptops only with this feature.
I know it possible to use track point with UHK… you know what I mean

After getting the UHK, I no longer use a mouse at all for normal use. The UHK has a good mouse layer that has completely replaced my mouse usage and I don’t have a mouse on my work desktop.
That said, for gaming I use a Corsair M65 Pro RGB (mainly because my wife liked how it looks) or a noname RGB mouse depending on which computer I’m on. When I just have my MBP, I use its trackpad.
In the future I am getting the UHK trackpoint module, but I’m unsure if I will use it, since I’m so used to the mouse layer now.

Razer gaming mouse (I have Abyssus v2 that seems to be no longer available, but they have many similar models):
I like it because it’s very precise and requires only small movements to move cursor from top left to bottom right corner of the screen. It’s high resolution so you don’t lose the precision either. Gaming mice are probably best thing ever you can get
