New Gaming Mouse

Post by sharpie »

It's that time of the year again, and I'm in the market for a new gaming mouse. I've owned a corsair M60 for the past two years, it was ok but is now falling apart.

As cyber Monday is nearly upon the civilized world, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions for their preferred mouse.

Thank you in advance

Depends what are you looking for exactly, wired, wireless, dpi, how many buttons, price range etc?

Personally I use the G700s and been using it for about a year, possibly more and really like it as its got a good amount of buttons, nice and comfy, its wireless but use it in wired mode 98% of the time and its profiling software is pretty damn good, best I've seen for a peripheral yet which is also one of the big reasons why I've now got the G510s keyboard too.

Although buttons and profiling software is more important to me than most as I actually don't really use it much for games, more 3DsMax, BF2Editor, Photoshop etc etc with the buttons programmed to do what I need for example:

Claw vs Palm grip for FPS

personally, the logitech G500s model is my leading contender for replacement of my MX518. I do not do MMO type games where large number of extra buttons is needed.

Oh, very important:

Thanks guys;

Rhino I've actually been considering a wireless mouse; i'm using one @ uni at present (dopey little logitech work mouse) and am rather fond of it.

And lito that chart was interesting, personally i've never considered the hardware side of mice and the sensors et al. Appreciate it :)

edit: just saw Logitech came out with a pair of new gaming mice http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/produc ... ming-mouse ; is cheaper than g700...however since Cyber Monday, i'm sure that will all change

After having 2 G9s die at one year each I decided I was Fed up with expensive mice, so on my online shop I bought a gigabyte M6980x and so far after over a year I am happy.
It has a three way DPI and side buttons, it doesn't feel as heavy as the G9 but I am very happy as it was cheap as chips.
