I’m looking for suggestions to upgrade my mouse to maximize productivity with Rhino.
Thank you
A mouse is personal I’d say, but I like my logitec MX Master. Handy is that it has 3 channels so that I can work on multiple machines with it, and the rechargeable battery lasts many days and charges quickly.
Other than that, I like using a Wacom tablet as mouse

I’d second the MX Master

I doubt the mouse can do this! Haha (unless you’re actually talking about customizing buttons and repeating operations over and over).

I’ll third the MX Master - I have the Master 3 at work, and the first-generation Master at home. Customizing the buttons has been really helpful.
I use the Logi Vertical. Same features as the other but with a more relaxed hand position that lets you work for hours.

MX MASTER 3S - pricey but worth it.

logitech g pro still on the lead 
so that it behaves. at least the old version has an incredible good sensor. it has only 2 buttons on the side extra but that adds to 5-6 buttons in total including dpi switch which you basically could adapt. i have the 2nd version either which seems to have a new sensor but i heard that logitech saved here a bit, after testing it only for short (it is a reserve) my thoughts are inconclusive.
the main reason i bought the mouse is because there are not many mice for small hands out there. in early times i bought quite a few of those old hama, you can cant get them anymore, i keep the rest of it stashed in a box, to one day measure it all out and print the perfect mouse for me, which honestly probably never will happen, if mice are still around then at all 
the mouse is not a small mouse per se but compared to some of the other mice out there it is very palpable.
under the line, if you have a good sensor which does not get in the way, most of your commands are from the keyboard and a few on the mouse any mouse could do for you which fits into your hand and lets you work without getting fatigue, strains or even Tenosynovitis
The undisputed king is the Logitech G502 model line. Period.
P.S.: Of course, everyone has their own opinion and some people (especially those who haven’t tried Logitech G502 personally) may not agree with that. 
Elecom HUGE trackball with Connexion SpaceMouse Enterprise.
One bad thing about the HUGE is that it has some exposed metal on the scroll wheel and I literally shocked the thing to death: after about 65 shocks over a period of almost 2 weeks, it was kaput.
I now use the Elecom Deft Pro which is also connected to my laptop. It has 3 connections: USB, Bluetooth and RF. Kind of small for my hands.
Hi! I use 3dconnexion cad mouse since 4-5 years and it will be difficult to change now… I have to search one for home, but this mouse is expensive…
and you are left handed.
Jon already mentioned it but MX Master 3S. It’s super comfortable (and I have large hands) and the multi-function buttons and thumb wheel sped up my modelling by at least 10x.
I’ve got the thumb wheel set to alternate between viewports so that I can model in full-screen, and the left button set to shift and right button set to control.
With this configuration, I rarely have to move my right hand from my mouse thanks to aliases set to toolbar pop-up menus that are easily typable with my left hand.
A while back, I was debating getting a 3D Connexion mouse with customizable buttons but I read someone’s post about forgetting to bring their 3D mouse to an important meeting, and they came off as unprofessional to the client/audience since the device had become so integral to their workflow.
The side buttons on the MX are nice, but I’ve still got the muscle memory of using the left shift and control keys ingrained, so even in the event of forgetting my mouse, most people would have a mouse that I could borrow.
Also I realize this may sound like a paid ad 
I’m just proud of my workflow and the hours I’ve spent creating various aliases to save a few milliseconds

That’s a pretty bald claim to make… 10x speed?! I would love to see a demo of this.

Get a vertical mouse, your carpal tunnel will thank you later.
Hahah well I’m planning to make some product re-modelling tutorials in Rhino which would showcase my workflow I’ll post about it here (I mean on the forum, not this thread) when I do
I grew up playing piano so I’m somewhat more used to the hand posture than the average person I think, but I might look into Logitech’s MX Vertical or Lift. Have you got any recommendations?
I mainly work on a wacom cintiq with pen input and only occasionally use a mouse. Nevertheless a couple of years ago my traditional mouse gave me some problems with my wrist.
Bought a cheap trust vertical mouse and the problems went away immediately.
From what I’ ve heard the logitech MX vertical is supposed to be quite good.
