I need a new gaming mouse, but I have some quite strict requirements.
First a brief history of the mice I've used since that might help. I remember when all mice had BALLS, what a nightmare. My first optical mouse was the old MS intellimouse (a similar mouse is still sold as intellimouse classic), it was quite large but still one of the more comfortable mice I've ever used having quite large hands. I had that for ages before buying a Razer Deathadder (their very first deathadder model) which was fantastic for many years until it started getting double clicks and missed clicks on the main left and right buttons. I replaced that with a Deathadder Elite 3.5G which I still use, it's comfortable enough but the thumb button and the DPI switching buttons often do not work at all, and then start working again for absolutely no reason. It needs replacing.
My requirements:
Things I don't care about:
Thanks in advance.

My requirements:
- Right handed mouse, not an ambidextrous one.
- Large size suitable for large hands
- The usual left & right buttons, middle click on the scroll wheel, two or three thumb buttons on the left side, DPI adjust buttons, no more, no less.
- Wired, or if wireless it must be verified to be super low latency and have replaceable batteries of a standard size (e.g. AA or AAA).
- Must be able to adjust DPI without installing third party software from the manufacturer.
- Either no bright RBG lights or the ability to turn them off without installing third party software from the manufacturer.
- Cheap, ideally £50 or less, could stretch to £75, certainly nothing over £100.
- NOT Razer, ideally a brand that I've heard of like Logitech.
Things I don't care about:
- Colour
- The weight
- Super high DPI settings
- Currently available new, I don't mind hunting down an older model on the used market.
Thanks in advance.
