Mouse Suggestions?

[Geno]

I'm planning on buying a new mouse this week, and I'm currently thinking about getting the Razer Imperator, but I'd like to know what other people have to say...

I've never used Razer products, but I've heard great things about them. A lot of people swear by their mice.

I always choose Logitech mice and keyboards. It may just be me, but it seems like you get a lot of value and performance out of their products. I've got an MX 1000 laser mouse (the original laser mouse) that's 6 years old, and I'm still using it. It has survived 3 different builds of computer. I can't think of any other product that I have that has survived that long.

I'm sure you'll be happy with whatever you choose though.

Logitech G9

I have the Logitech G500. It a very good mouse for the price. It has adjustable weights too.

Just about any Logitech . I use the G5 and love it, my bro has the MX518, the G9 is nice and i really wanted one which was on clearance at BB for $40 until i heard today of the rubber grip coming apart. There is a G9x which is around $100. Razer makes great products, just never owned them or used them but have heard good things about them. The G500 is supposed to be great too.

I strongly encourage you not to buy a G9 or G9x. All G9/x have this problem where after a certain amount of use, the grip gets all nasty and starts to wear off.

Logitech G500 is a much better choice.

I tried out a G500 at BB yesterday, and I don't see the hype around them. I hate how it feels. My brother has a Deathadder, and it's much much better.
I'd recommend a Cooler Master Advance Sentinel. Pretty awesome mouse.

Whoa... nuke I actually didn't look at your mouse selection till now.
I had that mouse for a year (logitech G9), and mines actually broken from wear shockingly. Here's why...

1. The rubber grip that comes with it will not last you. It peels off like it sheds skin, pretty bad. So you have to use the plastic grip that also comes with it. Making the rubber grip (which has a nice feel to it by the way) totally useless.

2. The long wire connected to the mouse, I had mines nicely wrapped with a twisty as a preventive measure from accidental yanks and pulls. Regardless, the sleeves will come loose just from use. You will realize this when you get it because the sleeves are really stiff. When you move your mouse, it bends... all that bending from moving your mouse over time loosens the sleeves.

3. Related to #2, the laser died out on me. Anyway I had two previous G5s and then this the G9.... all broken from regular use. I gave up on their (logitech's) expensive brands.

Other thoughts: The mouse wheel on the G9 is looser than your average mouse wheel (didn't bothered me, but might for some ppl). The G5 has the regular mouse wheel feel.


Just a heads up before you spend $90 on them. The first G5 lasted me a good two years, then the next G5 a year and a half. The G9 only lasted me one year. I guess it might be okay with some ppl, but I have a cheap-o optical mouse that's going 7 years worth $20.



Besides their bad durability... their awesome mouses to experience gaming with. Get a cheaper logitech mouse and get better speakers.

Anyway the reviews are probably going to be good because they are awesome mouses for a while... I wish I can return mines to logitech.

I was thinking about writing them a long mail, and delivering 3 of my mouses to their main office as a parcel package. Who knows, maybe they'll reply with a free mouse (just not the G5 or G9) lol.

Just a copy & paste from Nuke's thread. I can get pictures of the damages from normal wear on those mouses. Also if you need extra weights, I got lots.

i use the g5 and im happy with it. i dont know if this is a general thing but logitech products seem not to break easily. this is just my third mouse in like 10 years having a computer.

LOGITECH MX518 Best mouse i have ever used in my life, realiable, replaceable for free if ever broken, had mine for 6 years been through hell and back, thrown into walls from nerd raging, dropped on concrete, flights and hectic travel, the mouse is a survivor, Def worth $50. And if it were to break, call logitech, tell them your a semi-pro gamer and a button stopped working all of a sudden, give them your address, and boom, replaced!!!!! for free...

Logitech creates the best gaming mouses. They are very comfortable for the hand and feels great! Razor mouses are made for gaming but to me they feel incredible small when you use them. I've had Razor mouses before, now i have a A4Tech mouse which is good for me. But if I would recommend one, it would be the logitech's mouses.

 

[BioPenguin]

I love my g500 =P

 

[jizwood125]

yeah, go with Logitech G500

 

[dbee]

LOL Gooch and your nerd raging... G5 cannot fail.

 

[The Slayer]

i got black kudos gaming mouse. 5000 dpi, and adjustable weight. very good mouse. a must-have

 

[Geno]

Anyone tried the imperator?

 

[bizXn]

You should get the Wolfking trooper MVP or regular. I have the regualar one and it was only $30 so it was a good deal. It should be at your local Fry's Electronics. You can change fire modes and dpi's with a click of a button. It's a big mouse and not wireless, if you are used to a more smaller mouse then this is not for you but I made the transition in about an hour of CS:S playing time.

 

[BobWango]

its funny, i use the g9 mouse and it works perfectly fine. yes i did have to replace my grip but thats for after a year of playing. it was only $5 USD so its a cheap replacement
