Need suggestions under $70 | Currently using G502 LIGHTSPEED wireless with broken mouse wheel click

G502 LIGHTSPEED was my first good quality mouse, before that I just used the ones that came with mouse keyboard combos. And I liked it a lot even though I had nothing in the same price range to compare it with. The extra buttons really helped in gaming (hollow Knight was much easier after I got it). The infinite scroll seemed a cool feature but also a gimmick but turned out I use it a lot (not for video editing)
I was pretty happy with it but the scroll wheel click stopped working after 2 years, a feature I use on a daily basis. It's not completely dead but works less than 50% of the time if I'm being generous.
I'm looking for something similar in $70 budget.
Something with similar size and great built quality, good tactile feel and preferably an infinite scroll wheel. Not necessary a wireless but I'd prefer it (I'm willing to compromise on battery life).
I mostly play hack and slash and soulslike but I'm planning to get into Helldivers 2.

Only get wireless for non gaming stuff.

G203 is perfect, not wireless but very comfortable and cheap at that, ive had mine for like 3 years now.

1) For starters I would never use a wireless mouse, because I don't want to be changing batteries full stop.
2) There are good mouse reviews on youtube.
3) I'm never recommending or using a Razer mouse ever again. Logitechs aren't much better (but currently using one g502)
4) It's an expensive game trying to find a good mouse.

Have you tried disassembling your mouse and fixing the issue? I was able to fix mine. The disassembly and assembly were nerve-wracking, but fixing it just involved clearing hair and dust out.

G502 hero, do you really need wireless? I went to it after my wireless mouse became unstable. It’s a solid mouse without worrying about batteries or charging or what not.
