Mouse recommendations

I used to look around reddit for product suggestions, reddit sucks and I don't trust the bias anymore due to gorilla marketing.
I figured I could pop the question here, maybe help drive some lemmy traffic!
Any mouse suggestions? Wireless is preferred and the main use case is general desktop. I do play games with it but I play single player rpgs, so it doesn't need competitive specs.
If you know of a mouse that doesn't meet the criteria post it anyway, just add the different use case!
Update:
Ended up getting the Logitech Master mx 3s, been using at work and home. Has 100% held up to the hype. Big fan of the side scroll and the main mouse wheel can go kinda into continuous mode if you flick it harder. It takes a bit of getting used to, but after 3 days it's become very intuitive. I also like the multi device connection ability, great for home/office use. Gaming is also just fine (casual gaming specifically).Cons:
No options+ app for Linux, Solaar flatpak works pretty well but I haven't been able to reprogram the side wheel yet. This one is super superficial and not at all a deal breaker but it bugs me that the dongle doesn't have a storage spot in the mouse. An internal storage spot would make going from work and back better, I've ordered a $10 travel case for it so again it's nbd.Also leaks of a Logitech Master 4 source may indicate a new model release this year. Fingers crossed the new button isn't AI bs.

I got a Logitech MX Master for general desktop use and am happy with it.
Good battery life, comfortable, accurate, and the multiple extra function buttons don’t get in the way. I like the motorized flywheel scroll and ability to maintain 3 bluetooth pairings (selectable via button on bottom)

I'm not that picky, so I usually go for whatever Logitech I can find which can connect to a unifying receiver. That way, using solaar (Linux equivalent of that proprietary tool for pairing Logitech devices), I can use just one USB dongle for both mouse and keyboard.

Logitech tend to be good. I've had a Razer Naga for a few years and it has held up. Corsair let me down.

I am a big fan of the vertical mouse. Currently using the Logitech Lift and happy with it. I'm sure there are other ones that are great too but this is just what I'm using.

logitech trackballs are my favorite
the blue ball model is cheap and will work for a few years
the gray ball model is worth the extra cost and mine have lasted for a few years and don't show any signs of failing like the blue ball models do

Blue ball model (also comes with gray ball option)
I've got both and the gray ball model is definitely nicer. It's got a wedge and a magnetic plate for picking an angle for ergonomic reasons. It generally feels nicer and has some neat things like a button for switching connections which is handy if you watch to use it with multiple computers. It also uses USB-C to charge (specifically the "MX Ergo S", not the "MX Ergo" which is the older version and used micro usb).
If you're new to trackballs though and just want to try them out, the cheaper model is perfect serviceable.

Seconding a vertical mouse. I like Evoluent's mice, been using them for years.

I got a Logitech G502X. Works good for my use case.

I like my Aerox now, but it took some time to get used to it coming from a heavier G502.

Can't go wrong with the MX Master 3s.

My use case is pretty similar to yours, and I would recommend physically going to a store and seeing whatever (Logitech, as others suggested) mouse feels best in your hand. I think your hand preferences are pretty personal and important and that's not something a stranger can assess for you.

I am very happy with my Glorious Model D- Wireless mouse. It's lightweight and sits perfect in my hand.

My choice as well. Perfect mouse

I love my Logitech G502, which I'm sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it's pretty popular.
I'm still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.

I tried using a wireless Logitech mouse the g305. Dead in a few weeks. I tried using the wireless steelseries Aerox 3 which only lasted a few weeks.
I ended up with SteelSeries Prime Neo Noir which is wired but has none of the issues I was having with the other mice. This would be my recommendation if you can stomach The Wire
