I've got a few.
I rather like my Logitech MX Master mouse. I have 2. The unlatching of the click mechanism of the scroll wheel at high speed is my favorite thing, possibly, of any of my PC peripherals, which is odd because I didn't consider scrolling to be that big a part of my day, but I miss it when using other mice. I'm disappointed that the rubber on the scroll wheel is melting, however, but I still love it.
Back when conventional thinking said it was Wacom or bust, I gambled on a cheap Huion H610. At a fraction of the cost of the equivalent Wacom, I was skeptical, but amateur reviews looked promising. Initially it was dodgy but they persisted with driver updates and it became a perfectly decent drawing tablet with the specs an artist cares about and fine drivers (also works plug and play with Win8/10). The only downside with my unit is that it has a battery in the pen, a limitation fixed in later revisions.
Also, a good trade-level cordless drill (I went DeWalt) is also a huge improvement from cheap sub $100 units, and I'm quite fond of that too, because it feels very precise and I've spent too much time with crap tools to ever forget.
- mft_ 4y agoCan I ask a couple of questions about the mouse? 1. How does it compare in terms of response to a wired mouse? 2. How does it connect to different computers (dongle? built in Bluetooth?) and how does it cope with quickly swapping between different computers?
- muti 4y agoI have the MX Master 3, which was only superseded by the 3S recently with very little change. 1. Response time is imperceptible 2. It can connect directly via bluetooth, or with a small usb dongle. There is a button on the bottom of the mouse that lets you switch between 3 stored devices. It would be nice remap the device switch to a button on the top of the mouse, but this doesn't seem possible yet.

It's a task mouse, and will not suit for pro gaming, but, then, no wireless mouse will. 2) Bluetooth or Logitech Unifying Receiver. It has a button on the bottom of the mouse to swap the computer it's paired with and it can be hot paired to three devices, and that works well.
- I_complete_me 4y agoI too am happy with my Logitech MX Mouse but there was an interval where I wasn't. Here's the shaggy dog version. I got a job working as an AutoCAD draughtsman and the company only had a shitty mouse to work this expensive Windows-only software. I decided to purchase a Logitech MX Mouse ~$80 equivalent to prevent RSI. My boss thought I was crazy - what was wrong with the mouse they provided? Hah! Soon it became obvious they did not care for tech or techies and I left. But I am on Linux at home and it really bugged me that I could not use my expensive mouse on my Linux laptop. Curses and swears! Fast forward 6 months and I was browsing a Linux magazine and it featured libratbag which is a DBus daemon to configure gaming mice. I couldn't believe my eyes. It promised to get my MX Mouse working on Linux. I got home downloaded the software and hey presto! my MX Mouse works on Linux. I am so happy with it and so lucky that I picked up that Linux magazine on that day.
