Need a gaming mouse

[dkmech]

Hi All,

I really need to update my old intellimouse explorer. I had a logitech g500 from my wife for Christmas but found that it gave me cramp - I am used to more support for the 2 rightmost fingers, and a slightly lower mouse. So unfortunately the otherwise great G500 had to go. Does anyone else find logitech stuff incompatible? If so, what can you recommend? Need switchable dpi (to 3-4k minimum), a few buttons, comfort, hopefully sub £40-50.

I was hoping to get a feel for something down the shops but can't think of anywhere in Swansea that will have a decent selection. So if anyone knows what I mean and doesn't like Logitech stuff - tell me what you use.

Thanks

Are you right or left handed?

I'm gonna assume right for now, and suggest the Roccat Kone. I've been using it for a very long time now and it's brilliant, I've never had a single issue with it and honestly can't recommend it enough.

Right handed. I'll check it out, ta.

Depends what games you're playing also, ive got the SteelSeries Cataclysm WoW Mouse and its absolutely great to use

[dkmech]

Main concern is about FPS, but i used to play a lot of WoW a few years back. I am looking in particular for people who found the Logitech stuff uncomfortable to use and have found other things instead.

Well all of the buttons on the mouse are programmable with the software that it comes with, so it could be worth a look, havent really tried it with an FPS.. Will download my CS:GO Beta and tell you what its like when i get home!

i have not used any of the mice mentioned in this thread but am currently using my now rather old Razor Copperhead that hasnt let me down for a very very long time, so checking some Razor mice out might be an option they do wireless and wired, which i personally prefer wired as they seem to be more responsive imo, and also do not require batteries or charging every night.

i would suggest looking at the razer range if you have the budget

A friend pointed out another forum where someone mentioned this:

Now need to see if I can find it for less than amazon's 55+ quid. I think that would sort my grip issues.

What about a Cyborg R.A.T 7. They are about £50 on eBay and fully customizable. From height, to width, to length, to pinky rest, thumb rest to weights.

Its basically a overkill mouse with everything about it customizable.

On Amazon they are expensive, but even the Cyborg R.A.T 3 is only £30, which is just as good. Max DPI of 3200DPI Lazer mouse.

RAT 7 is one of the latest, pricey on Amazon. Cheap on eBay.

RAT 3 is cheapest, and still customizable but still darn good.

1 more vote for the R.A.T 7, I have the 9 only because I have a very small desk & need a wireless mouse.

You can send me that g400. I have been using the mx518 for years now (or another model, but same form factor) and I just love it. Never had cramps and always great performance on that.

Unfortunately I can not recommend any other model because of that. I have seen the Cyborg used before and people generally liked it.

It's already found a new home i am afraid

[ik9000]

Logitech g400 was in Scan's Today Only for £23.40. It's as good as the MX518 - basically the MX518 updated resolution and different pattern on the shell.

I've got a CMStorm Sentinel, which I'm very happy with, adjustable dpi settings and easily usable side buttons tick the boxes for me

I was looking at that myself, but am gonna try source the ace of sweden mouse for the moment. Will let you all know how I get on.
