Hello, not sure whether this is right place to ask, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m looking for mouse replacement, but I do need the mouse to be quieter than your usual “click click clik”, as I often use it in the evening in a room with other people sleeping. Usage is about 50:50 office and single player gaming, so I don’t need the best sensor tracking or the fanciest RGB (I nor need nor want that at all), I just want well working, silent mouse.
I hold my mouse mostly in claw/fingertip grip, so I can’t operate something big, Deathadder-like. Ambidextrous shape is fine (maybe even preferred), as long as it has 2 thumb buttons on the left side. I used to have Logitech G305 which was almost perfect, except for 2 things: 1) very loud clicks and 2) mouse wheel got nasty swollen over time to the point it stopped rolling at all.
I’m using something people describe as “PWNAGE symm 2 clone” from local store brand, that is exactly what I need (smaller shape, silent), but its sensor is somehow starting to act weird after like 3 years? It’s been discontinued so I can’t buy replacement one.
Or if you know better place to ask (other than /r/…), I’d be glad. Thank you very much!
Been enjoying a Logitech MX Master 3S myself, it’s definitely a nice mouse to handle, but it’s also not something that could be called particularly small.
I’m using one too and I love it. The scroll wheel isn’t quiet when scrolling really fast, but it’s sooo nice to use. Downsides are the slow polling time but even in multiplayer shooters I do fine, the cost, and the software is kinda bad, not the worst but not great. However, the gestures are great, I use them all the time. Thumb button gestures I use left/right for volume, one of the side buttons I use left/right for snipping tool/text extraction. It is on the bigger side but being semi-“ergonomic” it might fit better (or worse), not sure, I have not-small hands.

Had the MX Master 3, there the scroll wheel wasn’t quite. Got a MX Master 3s after I gave the first one to my gf and there the scrolling is super quiet.
