So ive had the Logitech PRO X Superlight Wireless and absolutely love it.
I will find it hard to go back to a heavier or fully wired device now but my near shoulder button ie the default "back" button is double clicking constantly now and is just out of warranty.
So here i am looking for a replacement and keen to get some recommendations for a similar quality and spec mouse.
Im reading a lot about double clicking issues all across the logitech range so im hesitant to buy another.
I know there is a newer version of the superlight pro but i wonder if it addresses the double clicking.

I've just picked up a an Xtrfy M42 Wireless.

Pretty light. Comes with 2 backplates to fit higher and lower hump profiles and has all settings on the mouse, so no software needed.

Only downside is you can't program any of the buttons. Not a deal breaker for me personally though.

It also has a weight distribution function by moving some screw/sliders on the bottom, although for now I have just left mine at default.

For £29.99 I really can't fault it.
 
I haven't had any issues with ghost clicks on my GPX S2, but I went through a bit of a mouse buying phase and bought a Lamzu Maya X 8K (the fnatic version cause orange), and I prefer it over the GPX now. It's a very similar shape to the GPX but it feels better in the hand to me. Slightly less potato shaped, slightly shorter, and the buttons are closer to the desk. It feels a bit like an evolution of the GPX which has sorted the bits I didn't like as much. Here's a pic for comparison:

Thanks, its definitely one to keep in mind.
Logitech gave me a 20% discount voucher just this morning on support chat.
Im tempted to grab the same mouse again as its down to 79 then with 20% off isnt too bad with a 2 year warranty.

The Maya X has an interesting skate shape. How do you find it in that regard?

I don’t notice much difference to be honest. I changed the skates as soon as I got it so I can’t speak for the stock skates but it feels a little less sticky than the GPX. That wasn’t very helpful I know but I’m struggling to describe it :cry:
 
I keep going in circle with mice because at the moment I use a razor Naga pro version 2 and I absolutely love having the side buttons. So I put up with the bulk and then I get annoyed with it one day and look at mice again. I think the obvious option is to have two mice (or more).

Fair enough, if it hasn’t caused any problems it must be decent. What skates did you throw on instead of the stock skates?

I’m back into WoW at the moment and bought one of these a couple weeks back to test it out as the side buttons would have been super useful. Managed about 30 seconds with it before it went back. I’m used to light mice with a certain sensor position, I hated basically everything about the Naga.

Corepad pro.
 
Yeah I can get why you would coming from normal mice. I don't really play fast games so I get by.
Handy for productivity stuff too with the macro editor thing.

I'm on the same mouse [Logitech PRO X Superlight Wireless], but my scroll wheel is now faulty, scrolling down makes it scroll up and after many attempts eventually scrolls down.. I use it for work and gaming, having a hard time knowing what to replace it with.

Try flipping the mouse and roll the scroll wheel on on a carpet (or other surface) for a while. God knows if it actually works but this reddit thread suggests it may do.

So only three weeks on and my main click left is acting up now too.
Definitely time for a new mouse now.
Logitech said im out of warranty but 2 weeks and will not budge, they did however give me 20 off voucher but i think i will be avoiding logitech now for expensive mice.

You could always try to fix it yourself.


 
Thanks for that ill definitely have a look but ive just bought an attack shark 11, hearing good things about it and it feels like a clone in the hands apparently.

Hope the new mouse is ok for you and even if it's not exact, am sure you will adapt to it in no time.

Worth trying to fix the old one before binning it.
 
Attack Shark X11 is a clone of the Viper V3 Pro (Not the GPX)



The Attack Shark X3 is more Superlight shaped but a little smaller.



But the Superlight and Viper V3 - Aren’t too dissimilar, subtle but it will feel different in hand.

I have to do this semi-regularly with a Pulsar V3 Lite. I rub the scroll wheel back and forth on my knee really really fast. It does work to de-clog it, but is not ideal really for a premium mouse.
 
@Gilbert89 thanks for the info i hope i get used to it but either way it was only €41 , also i cannot reply to your pm thanks a lot for the offer but ill see how this thing goes.
