Wireless mouse recommendation

[geraltofrivia]

Can someone recommend me a model? I would like a wireless mouse that is technically very good, but don't want to pay extra for any frills (like extra buttons, lights, fancy design, marketing tax, ergonomics, fancy software, "cloud storage of mouse settings", etc..). Don't care about battery life either.

So... wait what? You want a wireless mouse, but you don't care about battery life.

Battery life should be all your concerned about when deciding a wireless mouse, especially if you game with one ( which is why few people do).

OK, you've told us what you don't want in a wireless mouse...what DO you want? If it's true that you just want a basic, no-frills wireless mouse then pick any of a dozen basic Logitech or Microsoft wireless mice for under $30.

I have the G700 but since it sounds like that's overkill for you, I'll suggest this one. I use one at work and it's nothing fancy, but the tracking is excellent. The responsiveness of this mouse is on par with a wired mouse, and is as good or better than just about any wireless mouse I've used. Battery life has been great so far as well (I'm going on a month with no signs of needing to change them).

Otherwise, take your pick:

Here's one to consider...3 yr.+ battery life: http://www.logitech.com/en-gb/mice-pointers/mice/7108

I get as many batteries as I want for free

I want smooth tracking, precision, compatibility with high polling rate, low input lag, basically a really nice "core" mousing experience. What is less important is the "bonus" stuff. I also dislike buying products from companies that spend lots of money on marketing.

I'm not much of a gamer, but I love my Logitech M525. Not many frills, about $25-35. It's larger than the typical notebook mouse and uses two AA batteries, so it has a good weight to it. I find it comfortable for all day use at my desktop computer.
