Thread: mouse options

my g5 is finally starting to give up so i am looking at getting a new mouse, i think i am ready to let go of wires

what should i get?

I play mostly FPS games

5600 DPI Razer Mamba 2.4G Wireless Gaming Laser Mouse - eBay. (end time 09-Feb-10 14:13:05 AEDST)

If you liked the G5, and didn't notice any negative acceleration, then you can't really go past the G500.

My advice would be to steer clear of Razer range entirely. I've used and reviewed half a dozen of their mice, and not once have I been impressed. If you want something more low-profile than the G5, go the Logitech G9X.

However, for utmost precision, I'd recommend you pick yourself up an MX518. Dirt cheap, no acceleration quirks, same great shape. As far as tracking engine is concerned, it's still better than anything that has been released to date (technically just behind the MX500/510 engine which had a fixed 400dpi, but can't be bought anymore).

Also, for reference: ESR - ESReality MouseScore 2007

i have a 510 that just needs skates, maybe i should bust it out again

You can buy new skates from dealextreme.com.

Totally, insid. Although the legit Logitech skates are some of the best you can find. I've used some good replacements, but they're never quite the same.

I like the MX518. Am considering a new mouse though. The new Logitech one looks good. G something. *shrugs*

i love my G9 - perfect for sledgehammering the shit out of people

Personally I like the MS sidewinder. They have a nice chunky mouse wheel, but they are on the large side and not for everyone.
Don't play heavy FPS anymore so can't comment on responsiveness.

You could always wait for: that new Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T. Mouse
