If it's PS/2 you're good any way. I like Logitech.
Maybe you could avoid any ball mouse and get yourself an optical mouse instead, and specifically one with a scroll wheel.
Also, a lot of usb mice (among them quite modern ones) also can still be connected with a usb-ps/2 adapter. If you've got the adapter, just give it a try with another mouse.

For DOS stuff I prefer serial mice. No practical reason behind it, it just feels right for me. Genius, Logitech, A4Tech and Microsoft are safe choices.

I've got a Perixx mouse with PS/2, which they still apparently make new, for like $10 USD. Feels like it moves faster or otherwise feels stranger than using a ball mouse in 98/dos, though, but that might be me either being more used to my modern systems (this was early into my retro dive) or just not tweaking things good enough.

Any Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse comes with a USB-PS/2 adapter in the box, and the mouse works perfectly under pure DOS (6.22 and earlier) with mouse.com 8.20.

I haven't tested those adapters on every USB mouse I have, but I'm sure they don't work on some (if not all) non-Microsoft USB mice. Don't know how a simple adapter can be that picky.

Had to google A4 Tech X-718BK that's a modern gaming mouse almost guaranteed to have dropped PS2 compatibility.
Just about any modern DPI mouse has dropped PS2 compatibility these days. I'm not sure what the last Logitech mouse with PS2 support.

Personally I just use OEM branded PS2 mice HP used MS, Dell used Logitech. No software needed but you do only get 2 buttons and the scroll wheel.

Thank you all, I appreciate all your help 😀

Since I'm too lazy, in pure DOS I use or regular Microsoft USB Wheel Optical Mouse or Trackpad / Trackpoint.
