Best gaming mouse?

[DougMcDonald]

Certainly interesting to hear FPS gamers advocating trackballs, do you not find that you can get precision or response, but not both?

I would have though you could achieve the speed of a mouse user by using high sensitivities, but surely that would reduce the accuracy or precision or any movement?

The alternative would be to have lower sensitivity and therefore have the precision but not have the same 'flicky' speed required for some FPS's

Out of curiosity, which FPS games do you play?

I use a microsoft Optical had it for years. I play CS it does the job fine and prolly the best mouse ive used. And i have used alot

[magneticman]

actually I reckon the Razer/Microsoft Habu is probably the best now

the comfort of the intellimouse explorer 3.0 (design classic) and the precision of Razer, and now they've sorted out the firmware and software troubles completely.

imo the copperhead is the best mouse for fps's.

[DougMcDonald]

i have the blue copperhead, it's lovely :]

i have no complaints with my mouse, and its very precise, and im happy with the responsiveness, but again, its difficult to to source this mouse. if anyone else has seen them, id be interested in getting another!

Ive got an MX518, nice mouse very responsive etc. but just too flimsy/light for my liking.

G5 can be weighted, or the natrual weight of the g7 was nice

can anyone recommend me a cordless? Logitech prefered but i'm open to suggestion.

I've currently got a small Microsoft wireless laptop mouse, it's awesome but it needs an upgrade.

Im currently using a Logitech G7 wireless mouse - after like 11 months of use its on its last legs (Seem to get 10months hassle free then buttons stop working - rechargeable batteries start failing

Know im going down the Razer copperhead route in a couple of weeks

U got a bad one then. mine was great for over a year and i have sold it on

There is no such thing as a "best mouse" for everyone. The single most important thing about a mouse is how it feels in your hand.
The DPI of mice is largely irrelevant in this day and age. Stupidly high numbers are there for Epenis points more than additional accuracy. The polling rate of the USB port that the mouse is on is far more important.

I have a MX518, and while it really is a great mouse, it just doesnt fit my hand anywhere near like my old V3 Microsoft Intelimouse did. I'll be investing in a Habu as soon as I have the cash

[arbitor]

Its 30 quid??

Surely your hand can get used to it?

[DecomposingStar]

I need wireless, fairly small, and some extra buttons.
I've heard the logitech g5 gets stuck buttons and wheels aswell. So i'm not up for that, to be honest. I've had my Microsoft mouse for ages and never any problems, so maybe i'll go for the Habu or something.

[arbitor]

Who have you heard that off? its bs

Lets face it the habu hasnt been around long enough for people to know if they break or not..

I would be so pissed if my mouse wheel was sicking, or the buttons weren't responding.
