Need a new mouse

Hi everyone,

I guess this thread should be in here, but not really sure. Anyway, I need a new mouse.

I've been using a Razer Copperhead for about 4 years and it's recently started having issues turning itself off or double clicking the right mouse button - quite annoying when trying to scope on BF3.

My requirements are as follows:

- Must be able to have easily selectable 800 (on foot BF3), 1600 (in a tank) and 2000+ (general use/other games) dpi settings
- 4 programmable buttons (I currently use the two thumb buttons for crouch and grenades and the right buttons for DPI up/down)
- Ideally adjustable weight - I'd like to try this out as I always felt the Copperhead was a little too light

My budget is up to £45 (no more really). So far I've been tempted by the Logitech G500, Saitek Cyborg R.A.T 5 and the CoolerMaster Sentinel Zero-G.

Thanks in advance.

If you can stand the MW3 logo, then it is a pretty good deal. Or you go attack it with spray paint.

Oooh, very nice. The G9x was a consideration, but £75 is insane outlay. I could probably stand the logo, it'll rub off after a while, else I could probably attack it with a nail file....

Edit: Ordered. Hopefully they won't have run out of stock. Any idea how long Logitech's standard shipping usually is? Foolishly, I could have ordered a plain Comfort Grip for £5, but didn't think to look. Oh well, I'll live with the CoD logo, it'll be under my hand anyway.

From this thread its people are reporting it takes around 2 days, I ordered mine on Friday and ETA is Tuesday. Pretty fast considering they are coming from Netherlands.

Excellent, I was hoping it wouldn't take too long, but if it's travelling from the Netherlands a couple of days is pretty good (although despite placing it at 10.30pm, the order time is 5pm....).

Am sure you can pick up replacement covers for this mouse...

You can. £5 from Logitech. Unfortunately I didn't look when I placed the order and would now have to pay delivery. I'll wait until I need something else from them and tack one on.

Send them an email, it might not be too late to request an additional item with your order.

Annoyingly (well, not really) I just had the email saying UPS now have it. Oh well, if the logo really bothers me I'll have to do an order again.

Expectd delivery the 28th March, so 2 days is about right. Pretty impressive in my book.

I'm surprised there aren't more mice with d-pads. It's an excellent feature to have. I love my Saitek cyborg. Best gaming mouse I've ever bought and I used to have a Logitech G5 and I wouldn't buy any other mouse now. Unfortunately I'll probably have too, because Saitek have canned it. :( I just hope mine lasts. I can't believe they canned it for the new RAT series and they have even removed the 4 way d-pad, which was the best feature.

Corsairs M60 works for me.

get the mx518 the best mouse i have ever used and it feals great and its very persise
