Poll: Gaming Mice

[purplecactus]

I don't have a gaming mouse yet, I've got very little money and I've not got all that much time for games right now, so it's been put on the waiting list. I did have my eye on a couple on Razor mice, but after seeing some of the ones in this thread...

Logitech G5 and the G500 recently bought the G500 just for a few more buttons and features.. the G5 has been with me for 5 years now i think

Spoiler: Yes, and it cost me all of $13

Spoiler: I also have a pretty good keyboard that was a little more pricey at $30

Though I got a red one

I would be very worried if mice were to play video games.

Logitech MX518 don't know if it's considered a gaming mouse tough. Thinking of switching to a G400

i've got a razer naga epic, at first it took some getting used to, but now after using it so much, i really could not go back to using regular mouse. This mouse is awesome in every way.

I have a normal mouse with 2 extra buttons that work great when surfing the web. Gaming mice are overpriced crap. If you suck at a game a 3000 dpi mouse won`t help you at all. Get better and stop spending money on useless peripherals. Save it to get a bigger screen or better parts. That will improve your experience tenfold.

After very good experience with G7, I bought the ultimate mouse, the Logitech G9x, and stuck with it since. I didn't mess with the settings much, just adjusted the resolution presets to my needs. It took some time for me to get used to, it felt much different than the old mouse, however after some time, but now it's just brilliant.

I use a Logitech G500 mouse, with added macros to simulate keyboard buttons else windows won't recognize the extra (have 11 buttons total).

It's amazingly wonderful! A step up from the 518 I had before (which is also incredible, but just less buttons).

Extra info: Since people show off their keyboards, I have a cheap Logitech Ultra-flat. SO THERE!

Oh baby that x52pro. I have a 2nd hand out of production standard x52 instead.


g500 mouse, i love being able to scroll really really fast through pages of porn large documents quickly.

I game on a $10 USB mouse, it works

 

[Mistermixmaster]

I got myself a R.A.T. 7 M.M.O.

I just love the customization options it gives. Shitton of buttons, you can swap around parts, make it longer/shorter and add/remove weight. It also looks pretty darn great imo.

I use the Razer DeathAdder (image below). It's not got the massive number of buttons that the MMO mice typically come with, and it's wired, but these were things I was looking for. My previous mouse was ergonomically comfortable, but had very dodgy wireless connectivity, so I was wanted something just as comfortable, but more reliable. It works - I've never had any hand or wrist strain, despite many hours of playing.

I also own a Razer Goliathus Alpha mousepad, which gives me a massive space over which to play, as well as being ridiculously smooth and comfortable.
My keyboard is a Razer Arctosa - not as fancy as some, but wired so no more signal drops and it can handle the required multiple key-presses at once.

I've got a Razer Mamba.
It's got good wireless, and the DPI changes are useful for drawing/fiddly stuff, the side buttons are also useful for scrolling, undo/redo, what-have-you. Can't say i've looked into programming it much, don't have many reliably repeated actions in most games..

 

[UnderCoverGuest]

I got a R.A.T. 5.

But yeah, programming can take a little effort, but that's mainly because you want the macro to be perfected for maximum reliability, so you'll be testing each program frequently until you get it right.

I have a Logitech G5, which I really like. However, I haven't programmed any of the buttons. I just find that programming them really doesn't help me. The reason I have a gaming mouse is mainly for the smooth feel and extremely sensitive and accurate laser.
