    Re: Gaming Mouse?

    STEEL SERIES Ikari is a nice, light mouse with 5 buttons, heavy click scroll button, a 'one or other' adjustable DPI switch (which is adjustable from 1 dpi to about 2000 iirc) which saves you from a third dpi you will never use The most practical gaming mouse available.

    If your after something less practical but alot more fancy you got the Sidewinder, Cyborg, G5 and Razer deathadder, all great mice, depending on what really your looking for.

    Personally though, I'm living with a nice cheapo 8 button, dpi switching mouse from Mikomi on sale from agros at £7.50 (15 in the catalogue) and its doing me VERY well in COD4 and TF2 Very happy! http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Produc...KOMI+MOUSE.htm

    Re: Gaming Mouse?

    I favour the Logi G5, I have two of them, the latest model and the earlier one with only one side button.

    Corded, laser, excellent.

    I've tried two different Razer mice, you either love them or just can't get on with them. I sold both of mine.

    I'd really be interested to try one of those Ikari Steel series.

    Re: Gaming Mouse?

    I have just bought a second Razer Diamondback to replace my original one. The left button on that wore out I used it so much.
    The Diamondback 3G has an infra-red sensor rather than a light underneath. I guess the higher frequency of the infra-red light helps with the accuracy.

    The Logitech is very good I'm told but it's no good to me.

    Wink Re: Gaming Mouse?

    That G5 from Ebuyer is a damned good price, for sure

    But... even though it doesn't have a weighting system like the Gx range... the MX518 is just as good a mouse IMO, and can be picked up for a bit less - i.e. £23.69 (delivered) from Kikatek



    [edit] They sell the new(er) 'Dark Knight Limited Edition' for slightly less - £19.86 (+ P&P) [/edit]

    Re: Gaming Mouse?

    The choice between the Razer and the Logitech becomes much easier if you're left handed as the Logitech is right handed only.
