Wireless mouse with silent switches recommendation (lemm.ee)

Hello, not sure whether this is right place to ask, but I'll ask anyway. I'm looking for mouse replacement, but I do need the mouse to be quieter than your usual "click click clik", as I often use it in the evening in a room with other people sleeping. Usage is about 50:50 office and single player gaming, so I don't need the best sensor tracking or the fanciest RGB (I nor need nor want that at all), I just want well working, silent mouse.

I hold my mouse mostly in claw/fingertip grip, so I can't operate something big, Deathadder-like. Ambidextrous shape is fine (maybe even preferred), as long as it has 2 thumb buttons on the left side. I used to have Logitech G305 which was almost perfect, except for 2 things: 1) very loud clicks and 2) mouse wheel got nasty swollen over time to the point it stopped rolling at all.

I'm using something people describe as "PWNAGE symm 2 clone" from local store brand, that is exactly what I need (smaller shape, silent), but its sensor is somehow starting to act weird after like 3 years? It's been discontinued so I can't buy replacement one.

Or if you know better place to ask (other than /r/...), I'd be glad. Thank you very much!

I'm using one too and I love it. The scroll wheel isn't quiet when scrolling really fast, but it's sooo nice to use. Downsides are the slow polling time but even in multiplayer shooters I do fine, the cost, and the software is kinda bad, not the worst but not great. However, the gestures are great, I use them all the time. Thumb button gestures I use left/right for volume, one of the side buttons I use left/right for snipping tool/text extraction. It is on the bigger side but being semi-"ergonomic" it might fit better (or worse), not sure, I have not-small hands.

Had the MX Master 3, there the scroll wheel wasn't quite. Got a MX Master 3s after I gave the first one to my gf and there the scrolling is super quiet.

It is quiet in normal use but when I'm scrolling quickly and stop suddenly it does clunk a bit, but that's really the only noise it makes.
