I have a Mastermouse MM530 by Cooler Master at the moment, bought on the basis of its “sturdy” build, but the mouse wheel has been playing up for a while now, occasionally scrolling down when I’m in fact scrolling up.

I’m not even looking for a gaming mouse, just a decent mouse with a clickable scroll wheel. More buttons is nice, but not needed. Any tips?

    I had the same initial feeling about it when i got handed the mouse randomly one day. I was like uhg I don’t really want to relearn how to mouse, but I’ll give it a go because why not. I was struggling a bit at first, but I was surprised at how easy i caught on to it. Within and hour I didn’t think much about how to use it anymore and within a week I didnt eaven reach for my normal mouse next to it anymore because it was just more comfortable to use the ball mouse. My girlfriend was the same when she borrowed or one day to play some Sims from the couch. It’s especially good for that because you don’t need any surface for it to work. It works anywhere. She just started using it with no training and now keeps asking for borrowing it. I can only recommend it. The Logitech is the best options tho. I’m not sure about the quality of other brands.

      That does sound good… I may have to try it after all. Depends on how expensive it is, too, I suppose. How does scrolling work on it? That’s the reason for my current annoyance, after all.

        The MX ergo has a normal scroll wheel and back/forward buttons like a normal mouse. The scroll wheel is responsive and present to use. Not free rolling like some other Logitech mice but I don’t like that feature too much anyway. It has normal small bumps for each unit of scroll.
