tired of my mouse wheels and kb switches constantly breaking so I'm thinking of investing into something better this time
I think I'll go with keychron K10 with brown switches for my new kb but idk what mouse is good
 
Depends on your budget for the mouse, as well as your use case/preferences
If you just want some good mice, here are some that i think are good
Logitech G203: almost always on sale for around 25 dollars, has 3 extra buttons and lights, nice symmetrical shape but 2 of the buttons are intended for use by a right hand thumb
Logitech G305: Same as the G203 but wireless and no lights, usually on sale for around 40 dollars (neither are super lightweight)
Razer Viper V3 Pro: Super lightweight, 3 extra buttons but like 160 dollars, Logitech G Pro superlight is the exact same idea but by logitech
G502 X Lightspeed (what i currently use): lots of buttons, very heavy but the buttons are useful (no rgb because its like 20 more dollars for rgb on top of am already expensive mouse)

I like bulkier ergonomic and wired mouses, can't be bothered with changing out batteries. I've been looking at G502 Hero, ticks most boxes at a good price, although it has some rgb lighting which I don't like very much. I heard good stuff about Razer Basilish V3 X Hyperspeed too, looks comfortable to use, fairly simplistic and has minimal RGB lighting.

@mischizo what are you gonna use the mouse for?

Gaming (mainly strategy games, and some DOTA. don't play much FPS so I do not care for DPI settings and whatnot) and productivity apps like Krita, Aseprite and Gamedev

Basilisk looks good but I haven't done much research into it
G502 Hero and X are basically the same, G502X (the wired version) has slightly nicer switches and button positioning but if you want the cheaper one the Hero is on sale for less right now

Don't know about the Razer software (while i would recommend looking into it) but the logitech software does have automatic profile switching for apps so you can have different keybinds for games and productivity stuff
If you can't tell i jerk off to Logitech

Just realized the basilisk x variant is wireless so that's a no go. Also found G502 X (non lightspeed variant) at a nice price point, looks more comfortable to use and is cheaper than hero, also it has no RGB so that's a big plus. Think I'll settle on that one, are there any huge differences with the lightspeed version that would justify paying extra?
 
get this as your keyboard (image not mine btw)

Go to the mousemarket subreddit, you can buy mice second hand very cheap there. I bought a razer v2 pro like a year ago for $50 on there, been using it daily since.
 
If you're in America, I can send you a link for a Fnatic bolt I found online that's pretty cheap.
 
The new kb and mouse arrived already. Happy with the mouse. The kb is great, except for the fact it has a small enter key so I keep missing it when typing
