[Request] Gaming mouse suggestions (lemmy.ca)

Hi folks. I'm looking for a new gaming mouse, that's Linux friendly. I prefer wired lightweight mice, with an option to swap out (or solder) the switches. I'm currently using the Cooler Master MM720 which I love, but it's too loud for our tiny apartment, so I want something I can throw silent switches into. The MM720 uses optical switches so there aren't many options.

I've looked so far at the OP1, and that's literally the only thing that comes up when I search on reddit, so much so that it feels like an advertisement at this point. I'm not into crazy competitive gaming, and don't need 8k or anything fancy like that.

Thanks!

I've been pretty happy with my Glorious Model D wired, feels good as far as shape and button quality, tracks nicely and works great in games. The switches are a little clicky like most mice, but looking at the construction it looks quite easy to open up to solder new ones in.

It works with OpenRGB too.

This seems pretty nice, although I don't love the look of it. Why do they need that weird logo? Just my opinion obv. But much appreciated, it nearly fits the bill.

Yeah it's a bit much on the gamer marketing lol, but it does work well.

I got a model o- and the buttons are failing on me

Dang, they do use standard switches I think so replacements could be soldered in. I had to do that a few times on my last mouse which was a Logitech g602.
