I have a Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000KA7PD0/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1> 
that is getting a bit iffy at times. It's a beast of a mouse, but I love it- 
the way it fits my hand, the easily accessible buttons, etc. I've tried a 
few different mice, looking for a decent replacement for it, but have found 
nothing that comes close to it for me. Here are a few I've tried:\

Logitech Wireless Performance Mouse MX (This was the closest, but quit 
working less than 3 months after I bought it. Logitech was no help in 
fixing/replacing it):
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002HWRJBM/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

Anker Ergonomic USB 2.4G Wireless Vertical Mouse (close, but too vertical):
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018LR04B8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

Logitech M510 Wireless Large Mouse (not really a "large" mouse, or at least 
large enough for me):
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003NR57BY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

AnkerŪ Full-Size Ergonomic Wireless Mouse (very close, but quite large 
enough. This is the one I will probably stick with if I can't anything else 
closer to the MS):
<https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B0TXEEY/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1>

My hands aren't all THAT big that everything should feel so small (I wear a 
medium glove). I guess it's just the bulk of the 6000 that makes the rest 
feel puny. And I did give most of them at least a month of use before going 
back to the 6000, so it wasn't just a 10-minute "This mouse sucks" decision.

If anyone has a suggestion for a similar mouse that isn't exorbitantly 
priced (I'd like to stay well under US$50 if possible), I would like to hear 
your experiences with one.

TIA!!
