The last mouse I purchased was an NP-01S Wireless. I have since moved on to trackpads, in that case I have a Kensington slim blade pro.
The big question you haven’t answered for any of us is how you hold your mouse and how big your hands are.

tried Razer, Logitech and they just never felt right. got a new zowie (za13-dw) and it felt smoother, good weight and sensors, also no need for extra drivers. they make different shapes for different grips and hand size so you can find what fits. honestly one of the best mice I've used, up there with my old mx518
+1 on Razer mice, I use the Razer naga pro and I love it, I HATE their software and open it as little as possible, but their mouse quality is pretty good for gaming.
I used to used Logitech, which has much better software in Windows and actually has 3rd party software that lets you customize buttons in Linux, but their switches on their mice go out so quickly. There is a know flaw with their switches and they don't fix it. IMO Logitech has lowered their quality quite a bit and stell kept their prices the same. The last mouse I got from them basically deteriorated in half the time of having the mouse before, and the only reason I replaced the other mouse was because the switches in it died.
I specifically got the Razer Naga pro because it's got optical switches that don't wear out in the same way.
My favorite is Lamzu atlantis mini. Shout out to endgame gear op1 for 2nd.
Pebble Mouse 2 M350s from Logitech. Silent clicks and works on three devices. Bluetooth pairing, no dongle. Low cost as well. It's also very small if packing it for travel is necessary.
I went for a three device mouse due to an elbow injury. I can be watching a video on my laptop and playing sudoku on my tablet without having to bend my elbow for long periods of time.
took me a few lines to realize u aint looking for mouse traps
My use case is pretty similar to yours, and I would recommend physically going to a store and seeing whatever (Logitech, as others suggested) mouse feels best in your hand. I think your hand preferences are pretty personal and important and that's not something a stranger can assess for you.
Years ago I went for one in the cheaper end of "gaming" mice, I don't remember what brand, I could look it up once I get home.
The plastic springs of the side buttons broke after a couple months but with some macgyvering I fixed them easily enough and still works fine to this day. The least amount I ever spent on a mouse is the one that lasted me the most, so no complains.
Same here.
