 Logitech M510. Normal buttons and wheel + 2 side buttons, programmable by
running executable.
 Under normal circumstances, the bottom side button throws the window onto
the other screen, and the top side button changes the pointer speed to
super slow for precision mousing.
 In games, it's a real plus and not too hard to remember what each button
does.
 In BG3, the top side button is enter rounds, and the bottom side button
is group hide. In overload, afterburners and flashlight, etc.
 I think if I had more buttons it would become pretty useless, because I'd
be fumbling for the right button.
 I didn't know nor care what the DPI is. Most DPIs are "good enough" these
days, but I looked it up and it's 1,000. Good enough for my skill level
in an FPS. Not pro-gamer level.
 

Apparently mines goes up to 25,600 DPI. I think it defaulted to 1600, but I lowered it to 1200, and now 800 as it just flies around at the higher DPI.
I think I had it default to 1300 in Dark souls III as I needed the quicker movement to deal with the crap camera.  I can't be sure as I ended with 3 Dark Souls III profiles somehow, one set to 2400, one to 1300 and one to 1200.
It also updates 1000 times a second.
It is nice to set it just how I want in that regard, but having had it awhile I wouldn't buy a mouse with that much maximum sensitivity, I'm sure 1200 DPI would be fine.
