[MoonKnight]

im torn between the http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=579938 and http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=528854

Has anyone bought any of them? and which one would you recommend?

Both look like awesome mice. What about the MX518 from Logitech?

That would be a much better option. You can at least go below 800dpi with that mouse which I personally like for sniping lol

well i am looking for a temporary replacement for my dead mx510 hence why i picked the cheapest ones but is the 7 pounds more for the mx518 dark knight edition worth it over them?

get a g5 or mx518, well worth the money.

Clearly you haven't tried anything else then. I have, and the MS mouse is just not in the same league as the Logitech's already recommended.

Well I have got both a MS HABU and the Logitech G5, but the two mice MoonKnight picked are around £15, so for a "temporary replacement" the MS Intelli Optical Mouse is a good buy for only £10!

Imo the MX518 is well worth the extra £7 just as some Razer Gaming mouse is more than well worth the extra £30 ... it really all depends on your budget and how hardcore of a gamer are you.
The ones you linked seem very good also (tho I would go for the Logitech anytime for £7 more) and as stated before even a MS mouse will do fine for a shorter period of time.
It's all up to you and if you really want to find out more about gaming mices ...

I have to say that I find my mx518 to be fantastic and would recommend it to anyone

My point is that the MX518 is worth more then the £7 difference to the MS Intellimouse. It's far superior. It's more accurate, more comfortable and is more usable, both in general use and gaming. It's like the difference between a C2D and a Celeron.

Well it's all down to preference I guess.

I actually until very recently used a 5 year old logitech oem optical mouse. They cost about £4 and I was far better at FPS games with that than the logitech G5 So much better in fact it was litterally the difference between the top 3 on a CS:S server and the bottom 3. Sadly I dropped it in such a way the left button wouldn't work properly.. I was heart broken lol

So I can see where he is coming from, but the adjustable DPI is a god send in most games.

Personally I actually prefer razor mice but for the money the MX518 is compelling.

Likewise, very good mouse and well prices these days.

Is it true the MX518 suffers from electric noise? Sure i read that somewhere!

[jjcave]

Never heard of that myself :S Not thinking of a similarly named wireless mouse are you?
