My aged MX518 is seemingly dying on me, the scroll wheel is working intermittently at best and I feel the time has come for me to replace it and I'm looking for suggestions please.
Years ago when I got the MX518 I tried using a wireless mouse but for my usage, a good bit of gaming but the majority being Photoshop/InDesign, I found the lag of wireless to be really irritating as it couldn't keep up with fast, multiple clicks and mouse moves in the design software (manual dust removal on old archive photos was so frustrating as the mouse couldn't keep up). I'm guessing things have probably improved but in truth I only use the mouse at my desk and my keyboard is wired so wired is probably the way to go still.
I love the shape of the MX518 so something similar would be great. Maybe some more programmable buttons would be nice but not super essential.
Ideally I'd like to spend no more than about £40-£50. Any suggestions welcomed.
