I keep having issues with double clicking or problematic mouse wheels with cheap office mice like the Logitech m100r and Dell ms116, so i'm trying to get a durable mouse. It doesn't need any fancy features like high DPI or whatever.

I asked around and everyone basically told me i had to get a gaming mouse because all office mice were built as cheap as possible and would not last. So i tried buying a VXE v3 Pro, and while the mouse itself feels and works great, the side buttons really annoy me. My thumb is placed right on the side buttons and i keep pressing them when i move the mouse around. I disabled them in the software, but its just that pressing the side buttons and hearing the loud click whenever i move the mouse feels very annoying.

Does anyone know of any mouse with:

  • Either 1000/1200 DPI or programmable DPI
  • No side buttons, removable side buttons or side buttons that can be covered
  • Roughly the size of a basic office mouse like the Dell ms116
  • Decent mouse feet so it doesnt have high friction when moving it around
  • Must be able to use a wired connection (wireless is fine as long as i can connect it via a wired cable to the PC)
  • As cheap as possible
  • Durable, at least better than basic office mice
Again, i dont need any fancy features, i just want it to be durable, comfortable to use and no side buttons. I'm using a spare Dell ms116 now and in less than a month it has already started double clicking sometimes...

Some people recommended the following:

  • Corsair Katar CH-9000095, i think this is an old model with no side buttons and i cant find it for sale except via ebay sellers that charge $30+ shipping to Singapore
  • Razer Abyssus, i think this is an old model with no side buttons as well, i cant find any places selling it
I've been searching a lot of electronic stores, amazon, shopee, etc...but i cant find anything...

I am willing to buy from Aliexpress but i dont know what brands might have something like this...

you can always superglue the side buttons so that they won't click
I dont want to risk damaging the mouse that way...im planning to return the mouse soon via aliexpress if i cant find a solution.

Logitech M100R Wired around $10.
PS don't buy China brands or even Razer products.
Razer quality are hit or miss one.
I only trust Logitech.

Woah, you are good to your kids

https://www.eloshapes.com/mouse/compare?p=keychron-m4-vs.-logitech-m187

Similar size to m187, with the keychron weighing lesser

i added logitech m240 and razer orochi v2 to the mix

i would assume mouse is one of the most reliable and very important peripheral for computer use. spend abit more is okay as long as its suitable and comfortable to use.

thanks for the comparison, i amaze m187 is still smaller and looks more ergonomic.

I know OP want wired, but I had been using Logitech M331 for work.
Only need to buy a new one every 3 years due to double click issue.
But for the cheap price, i think its fine to replace it every 3 years.
