Reccomendations for a gaming mouse
I need a new Mouse. The missus bought me a Saitek Cyborg in September (to stop me from backing out of an OP) Anyway initially it was fine but i wasn't really doing much gaming on it anyway. Then i had my Accident End of oct/Nov on my bike and hurt my arms, Anyway the point to all this is I cant game with this mouse for more than half hour without getting pains and cramps it's just not right for me so i need to shift this on and find something better.
Needs to include the following.
at least 2000 dpi
a cable is optional.
Buttons not too many on the sides and defintely none on the outside.
Be of a good size i used to have a Logitech G5 and that was pretty comfortable,
Cost no more than £40
and if possible it needs to have the ability to move a cursor on my screen :mrgreen:
Cheers for your help guys

I can personally recommend the Razer Deathadder:

There's a southpaw edition too.

i was just looking at this
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/coole...pi-128k-memory
i dont like the mx518 i had the old version of it a long while back and have seen the g500 in stock for a few quid more.
Currently its between the coolermaster storm and the g500 dunno if i wanna stretch for the extra on the sentinel the extra dpi is nice on desktop but most of the games i play like sup comm Get sketchy over 2000dpi
Gheetsar a bit over what i wanna pay really. Wanna keep it to around what i can get for the saitek rat 5

The G500 is around £32 on Amazon:

The Sharkoon Fireglide mouse is a re branded A4 X-748K mouse, iirc.

Re: Reccomendations for a gaming mouse
Seen recently on another forum that the cheap G500s from Amazon weren't in great condition (marked paintwork, scratches on the underneath) sounded like b-grade stock to me although they were sold as new.

I'd say also consider the position of your arm, and your back.
Also the shape of your hands and how you hold a mouse effects the best mouse shape for you.
Re: Reccomendations for a gaming mouse
i went from an MX518 (about 5 or 6 years of service) to a G500 and its awesome, change wasn't massive but it was enough for me to feel good about my purchase.
Would definitely come with my recommendation but im a bit of a Logitech fanboy.

I tried the cyborg rat 5 as it was desigend for gaming but i hold my main finger over left mouse button and my second finger over the right mouse button which means my thrid finger rests just over the edge of the mouse on the plastic edge of the side gripand its really uncomfortable. Heres a pic to show what i mean

My hands just too big for it i think.
