Poll - what mouse do you use?

Simple post today! I have tried a few mouses (mices?) and can't find one that works well and is ergonomic.
I currently have a wired dell 2 button that works fine. The only issue with it is my hand's natural resting position isn't "flat", so this mouse cause some wrist/finger aches after a few hours. It is also slow, low DPI, I want something fast and precise.

 

I just recently returned this Logitech MX Master 3S  , there was some bug or glitch that would cause it to start lagging across my screen, I would click on a point but then it would be delayed and it would click somewhere else. I like this style as it has a natural loft that fit my resting position. Also the silent click was a nice feature.

 

Looking for recommendations, wired or wireless...sales are coming up soon.

 

Thanks, Cheers!

 

Thanks!

I have the 3Dconnexion Spacemouse enterprise kit.  Spacemouse Enterprise and CADmouse pro.  I like the CADmouse because it is big enough to fit my hands and it has programmable buttons.

Logitech ERGO M575 trackball (right hand) and 3Dconnexion SpaceNavigator (left hand).  The trackball has two extra buttons plus the scroll wheel, and I use those quite a bit.  I also use the SpaceNavigator in many other applications for scrolling/zooming-- much easier than the scroll wheel in most cases.

Logitech M720 bluetooth since I need to be able to take my laptop on the production floor and don't want a dongle (even a small one) sticking out.  I do want to try a vertical mouse.

 

I also use a regular Wired SpaceMouse from a few years ago.

Contour Design's Perfit Mouse (LH)

3dConnexion's Space Mouse Compact

 

For the Perfit mouse I made a separate pedestal that has a deck that can tilt both ways (forward/backward & LH/RH) and can be lowered/raised to the required height for arm and hand natural position.

Has the same problem with the MX Master 3.  The lagging occurs:

1. when the wireless adapter thingy is not plugged directly into the PC or laptop

2. Is obscured 

3. Is more than .5 of a meter away.

 Using Bluetooth also helps.

Same as that. I find it more comfortable to use a stationary trackball rather than having to move a mouse around the desk. It has the added advantage of deterring anyone else from using my PC.

I've found it beneficial for my wrist health to switch it up from time to time.

So when in the office I use a Logitech MX Vertical and Logitech G603 when working from home.

 

I've tried a lot of vertical mice and most are a bit big and bulky for my taste and usually "too vertical".

The MX Vertical has (for my hands, your milage may vary) a much more comfortable angle than say the previously mentioned Evoluent Vertical Mouse.

An old favourite was the WOW-PEN Joy with a similar angle, but it was too small and I ended up supporting the weight of my hand on my pinky with some strange numbness as a result.

This thread inspired me to get a vertical mouse, so I got the MX Vertical and have been using it for just a couple days.  I've gotten used to the new angle, except my fingers tend to slide down a bit so that my index is basically on the wheel.

Logitech G502 Lightspeed. I also have a Space Mouse PRO, but I don't use it, because I work faster with hot keys and a mouse.
