Gaming Mice

[El Presidente]

Any recommendations?

I'm currently using the Logitech G9, but I've had it about 6 years and it's basically falling to pieces.

I'd like something that is quite hefty in the hand and has a bit of weight to it. I'm not overly fussed about whether its wired or not. I'd like it to be programmable, but that's not a major factor and I'm looking to spend circa

Razer Orochi or Deathadder.

I guess it will depend on your preference, but here's a link.

Currently using the Razor Deathadder and I love it.
Before that i was using a Logitech MX 510 for over 7 years.

I use a... "Forest firedrake Game mouse", "Gmaes Way Fully Controlled By You". "Made in China". Can play Solitaire and Minesweeper really well.

I'm definitely leaning towards a razor of some sort. I asked the same question on FB and most of the suggestions are Razor

You could always go with Logitech too. They make a great product, but I will agree that Razor seems to be the favorite among gaming keyboard/mice.

i currently have the Razer Abyssus. Amazing for the price I paid. It's not a 293490234 button mouse. you can switch the DPI on the bottom of the mouse and has two frequency settings, even though it's wired.

If I didn't require a wireless setup, I would definitely have wired. I feel that they are more responsive, and less prone to any typing/mouse errors. However, I've always used Logitech products with no major issues.

I have to agree with Hitman, if you don't need wireless, try to avoid it. I had a wireless mouse and keyboard for a long time. After I switched to wired, I should have made the switch earlier.

I settled on the Razer Imperator: Razer Imperator 2012 Expert Ergomonic Gaming Mouse: Amazon.co.uk: Computers & Accessories

Thanks for the input folks!

I have the Deathadder and it is pretty good. I know with Razer you just need to be careful because sometimes you will get a product that will last years, and sometimes you will get one that lasts days, so don't be too upset if you need to replace it

Logitech G500 at £35-40

I'm currently using a G9 as well (wish I had the G9x). How does the Razor compare?

I ended up asking Santa for it, so I've only just started messing about. It seems pretty nice so far. The G9 is a bit weightier which I think I prefer, but the Imperator is a better fit and comfier. It took as while to download, but aside from issues with the razer download/support site, the Razer software seems a little easier to configure too.

I'm just about to fire in to Crysis, see how it performs. Overall though, I'm impressed.

Nice, I love Razer products. I am still using a Copperhead from 5 or 6 years ago! I also use a Razer Black Widow Ultimate for my keyboard. I couldn't live without it now, it's fantastic. I can't comment on any of the current mice, but I will be getting a Taipan soon.

The three best gaming mice out there are the Razer Deathadder, the Zowie AM, and the Logitech G400.

Some people rave about the R.A.T. 9 but it looks pretty weird to me.

Personally I use the Razer Deathadder.

 

[Mehta23]

G400 is better than the 500?

Perhaps for you, but personally I prefer the Imperator over the Deathadder as it feels more comfortable in my hand. I've no experience with Zowie products, but I hate the Logitech's shape and found it a pain (literally!) to use.

G400 is better than the 500?

On paper, perhaps. In use.... only you can decide that.

 

[Mehta23]

How on paper? 400 is £26.500 is £40

 

[Gintama]

good to see Chinese here

 

[Mehta23]

Still looking for a new mouse Pretty sure getting a high quality gaming one would be nice.

Still thinking that the G500 (although looking the best) is a bit expensive...

Cooler Master CM Storm Xornet Gaming Mouse Black 2000dpi Laser - SGM-2001-BLON1 - Scan.co.uk

Any good?

I didn't even know Cooler Master made a mouse. IMO 2000dpi is really low for a gaming mouse if you're actually going to be doing any gaming with it. The G500 is going for $50 on newegg right now. I've seen it as cheap as $40.

 

[Mehta23]

Yeah, it looks now ill have to buy the Logitech or a Razer one. Thanks for the help!

 

[Mehta23]

Anything else on the G400 vs G500 debate?

 

[nicow]

I currently use G500 and I'm thinking about buying new gaming mouse. I am thinking to buy Thermaltake Level 10 because it adapts well to any gamer. What are the major characteristics that affect the quality of a gaming mouse? I found on the Best Gaming Mouse that the most important characteristics are comfort, buttons and DPI. What do you think about it?
