A bit of background first:
In the past I ended up with mild RSI in my mouse-using wrist. Due to a recommendation I bought a Logitech Marble FX trackball which I still have after a fashion (I got a spare second-hand for spare parts), which solved the RSI. Since then, I bought a Logitech MX700 which I tried using as my primary mouse rather than the trackball and it worked for me. That failed in warranty which Logitech refunded, I got an MX1000 which also failed in warranty and Logitech refunded, which led to my current mouse, the MX Revolution which has served me well as my primary mouse for possibly 8 years. I still switch to the trackball on the rare occasion that the MXR runs out of battery at an inconvenient moment provided I'm not gaming at that moment.
When using other mice for extended periods my wrist has started playing up from time to time, but the MXR has always been good for me. I think it's a larger than average mouse so it may be supporting my hand better (though I don't think I have particularly large hands for a guy). It also has some handy features such as the wheel that can be set between free-rolling (allowing very fast scrolling down a page) and the standard rolling that 'clicks' down a page three lines at a time. I also like the charging bay (which is what is failing for this mouse and its predecessor IIRC). I don't use any other buttons except left/right/wheel.
So ideally what I'm looking for is a cordless mouse that's a similar shape and size to the MXR. Some pictures of the MXR can be found further down this page:

The successor seems to be the MX Master 2S:

Shape and size looks about right, I like the micro-USB charging mechanism because it makes more use of the micro-USB I always have plugged in in case I want to plug my phone in, and feature-wise it looks as good as / better than the MXR. At £75 it's a bit pricey (this may be due to Brexit inflation, I think I paid £50-£60 for the predecessors). I am conscious of the fact that Logitech's customer service has exceeded my expectations for good customer service, so perhaps I should cut it some slack. 2-year warranty (compared to 5 last time) though, hmm.
Does anyone have any similar mice to recommend?
