Mouse recommendations without the bloatware

[Snowy]

Hello!
I've been working off a Microsoft Pro Intellimouse the past 5 years and it's been great, but the back/forward buttons are starting to wear down quite a bit. I've decided it's time for a new mouse. One of my main concerns with a new mouse is not the weight or shape, it's actually whether you're required to install bloated software with the mouse.

One of the nice things I like about the intellimouse is Microsoft Keyboard and Mouse Center [software] is very lightweight. It has simple features to allow you to create macros and change the color of the led, but that's it.

I really don't want a Razer or Logitech if I have to install their software that has 5000 features and takes 30 seconds to load each time I want to adjust the DPI.

Advice?

Thanks

Every modern mouse I know about uses a management software be that Logitech G, Logi, iCUE, Razers, or whomevers.. I think that's nearly a lost cause for 'higher end' mice.

BenQ's Zowie line. Can get a mouse where you change the important stuff with buttons on the bottom, no software needed.

These are solid, eSports tested mice.

Fantastic, just what I was looking for. Thank you!
