glad to see someone else that agrees. Big bonus is them not using the old sticky, gummy rubbers that should have been left in the 2000s yet companies still use in the current year

I use a number of Cherry Gentix mice - the USB version costs around €10, there's also a Bluetooth version for ca. €20. So far, these have been absolutely reliable.

Microsoft Basic for me, slightly more expensive. Mouse mat - a non-stick baking sheet with that grainy reflective finish.
