I need to replace my mouse.

I have the Intellimouse Explorer Classic.
Love it, it just doesn't read on my desk space, or the mouse mat I bought to try and get it to work. So it's getting to be a pain to use.

I just do casual use and gaming with it, and I want to replace it with something that does the same:

Wired
5 button+ (2+ mouse wheel+ back/forward)
Not Logitech (I've never liked their mice, no matter how many I've tried)

I don't need one of those ridiculous adjustable weight 22+ button mice, but I'm not averse to one that has quality of life features, or better tracking and precision. I don't want cheap.

My first look is at the Razer DeathAdder v3 or the SteelSeries Rival 3 or the MSI Clutch GM41

The MSI I can get at 45% off. Price wise the MSI and SteelSeries are about the same ($40) and the Razer is twice that.

I prefer wired, as I hate dealing with batteries and charging for something so simple.

And as I said, I'd rather have a decent, good mouse than another cheap chinese POS that comes with every boxed desktop computer. Like, I have a little lenovo mouse that came with a keyboard set, and it's fine and does the job. But it doesn't have 5 buttons, so I don't want to keep using it.

Again, I don't mind paying an $40-80 for a mouse that has better quality, better ergonomics, etc. than the cheap disposable $15 mice.

I have bigger hands, so I use palm grip. So the larger ones work better for me.

The Intellimouse is 130~mm long, which I can rest comfortably on. So something in that size works best.

It cuts out a lot of choices I find in my searches.
