...My Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer optical rodent has finally given up the ghost, after 6 years of hammered service.. :(
So, what should I get to replace it? It's got to be optical, but NOT wireless.
It must have programmable thumb buttons, and a decent wheelie.. ;)
I've been looking at the new MS Intellimouse Explorers, and the Razor gaming mice, but what does everyone think?
Thanks in advance,
S.
logitech mx510/518 or razer diamondback all get my vote :)
Razers - you either love em or hate em, I'm not a fan, but thats a personal thing, nothing to do witht he mouse.
Logitech MX series gets my vote - I've been using my mx500 for 18 months now and still love it - theres new versions of it out now that are supposed to be better, but don't see any need to upgrade my mx500 for now.
mx510, or 518 if you want to spend a bit more.
Yup, I was just looking at the 518 on the website... Aren't those thumb buttons a bit small? I use the far thumb for 'use/action' and the near thumb for 'reload', and I'm worried that my fat clumbsy fingers won't find them in a heated hurry...
Keep it coming, ta,

nah, it's a big mouse, they're plenty big enough for most
Yeah, they're fine. I usually have the near thumb one for reload as well, and the far thumd for melee attack.
Sweet.. Just ordered a Logitech 518..Quote:

Thanx for the advice guys,
EDIT: And grabbed an IceMat Pro original at the same time.. ;)
