I have a Microsoft Touch Mouse, which I really like, but it's completely useless for gaming. The scroll is too sensitive, and you need to lift your index finger off the mouse to register right clicks. I don't play any serious games, but I don't think I'd even be able to iron sight and shoot with this one, or move and attack at the same time. My old mouse is wired, so I'd like another wireless mouse so I can just turn the mouse off and switch them without having to fish out a cable each time. I don't need anything that looks like a Decepticon or has an entire numpad on it, I can live with just Back/Forward buttons. One thing I would like is a cradle so it's topped up when I do use it though. Any recommendations? The Razer Mamba looks like it might work, but at that price I'd like to hear impressions first. Razer's stuff is spotty sometimes.

Anybody have a good suggestion for a mouse with a tilt wheel and a real wired connection? What's wrong with the g700? It uses the cable when you connect it that way. http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g700s-rechargable-wireless-gaming-mouse posted:The game doesn’t need to stop when it’s time to recharge.

What kind of space aerobics are you doing with your mouse to cause a USB cable to come unplugged? Does it not fit securely to begin with?

Ragingsheep posted:How's the SteelSeries Sensei Raw? I spent £50 on a Steelseries Sensei about 6 months ago and it's terrible. The buttons on the right side of it are super awkward to press and I don't use the on-the-fly sensitivity switching, so it's basically a £2 Windows optical mouse with two extra side buttons. Also, the scroll wheel squeaks when I scroll down  e: ~*~32 bit ARM processor~*~

I'm using a Logitech Performance MX after sending back a G700, the hyperscroll mouse wheel is a lot less sensitive and the battery lasts for about two weeks vs G700's two days. It doesn't have a cradle, but this is a bonus IMO as you can still use the mouse when it's charging. The only weirdness about the Performance MX is a complete lack of in-app DPI settings, but I set the awkward bottom thumb button to a dpi switcher.

I have to return my Func MS-3 for a replacement because of wire issues  Even the slightest pull on the wire completely restarts the mouse, so I can't play games at all and it even does it during normal desktop use. Gonna be stuck another 2 weeks or so with no mouse

I have a G700 and I don't think I've ever unplugged it. I LOVE the Logitech scroll wheel, the extra buttons are perfect for games like LOL and it's just really really comfortable and solid. The cable has never fallen out, I don't even know how that could happen.

Anyone else have bad luck with Logitech mice? I bought a G5. After 2 years the cord got weak and the mouse would randomly shut off. I got that replaced by Logitech with another G5, did the same thing. After about a year of the G500 they replaced it with, the right mouse button is acting up and aiming in FPS's is hard. Logitech was super awesome in replacing for me twice, but it's kinda hard to feel confident with their product.

I'm contemplating on buying a Roccat Kone Pure, I'm looking for opinions on this particular mouse and Roaccat itself as well. So far I've heard good things but hearing as many opinions as possible is always good. At the moment I own a Razer Imperator 2012, I've had it for almost a year but the scroll wheel is half broken and left click double clicks as well.

I only use less expensive Logitech stuff like the G1, MX300, M310 and such and I am very happy with their durability and function. The MX300 lasted well over half a decade, which is way more than I could have asked for from a twenty buck mouse. Hell, some of the old Logitech ball mice I have are still rotting away in a drawer somewhere in package because the other ones I were still using worked fine. I picked up a couple of those e-blue Cobra Juniors from Amazon that are basically really cheap 'gaming' mice and it functions quite well, the back/forward buttons on the left side feel cheesy and cheap but they work. They have a persistant rubbery scent due to the coating on the top, are lit with bright blue LEDs even when the computer is off and are a bit uncomfortable because the shape makes my wrist bent instead of parallel to the desk, but for what amount to around 7 or 8 bucks each it was a good upgrade for my nephew's computer that still had a ball mouse connected to it.

Edit: Wired, please Scratch all that, just discovered that the G9x is being discontinued and it doesn't look like it'll be replaced by a similiar model. I'll just get another, even if it's a bit more expensive. My tiny, claw-like hands love that mouse, and it would suck if I couldn't get another when my 5-year old G9 finally kicks the bucket.

So far I've heard good things but hearing as many opinions as possible is always good. I went from a Razer Abyssus/Razer Diamondback to a Roccat Kova+ about 6 months ago and have yet to look back. The build quality and feel form the Kova+ I have found to be top notch. It's light enough that I don't mind using it for extended periods of time, without feeling like a cheap toy (unlike anything Razer has put out in the last couple of years).

I have a G5 and I have to say that it is the best goddamn mouse I've ever used. It's got enough buttons to be useful but not too many to become annoying or in the way; the weights are nice to be able to adjust it exactly how I want it (People seem to find it too light or too heavy, but it's perfect for me); The feel is good and it's still working 100% since I got it, which was about five years ago. If/when it dies I am definitely going to replace it with another Logitech because they just nail it and the only mice that compete with my G5 are other G/MX mice.

It charges the battery from empty to full in about an hour, so you can always leave it charging while you're not at the computer (or plug it into the wall overnight). The battery lasts for about two weeks for me (9-5 office use then gaming at night) so it's not like it's plugged in constantly like the G700 was. If you liked the mouse before, I wouldn't discount it because of the cable.

Does anyone have any recommendation for high quality small mice, preferably wired? I'm talking about tiny "laptop travel mouse" sort of thing. I use the mouse with the tip of my fingers so it has to be very small and very light. Right now I'm using a very cheap one but it's not good.

Zowie Mico is the smallest good one I know of, unless you want something like a logitech VX Nano (not sure if that's still in production) but the latter is wireless.

I am looking to replace my G400 with something different for gaming and everyday use. My problem is, that I never feel comfortable with a mouse, because apparently I am not able to grip mice correctly. When I am browsing or writing, I usually just grab my mouse with my fingers and move it around. When I playing video games, I start with my whole hand on top of the mouse but due to movement and frequent use of the side buttons I usually slip off the mouse within minutes again. My fingers and the part of the palm under my thumb are basically holding the mouse most of the time. This has the added benefit of tilting some mice I tried, so I was unable to do anything requiring precision at all. Basically, the "fingertip" mice are too small and delicate for my stupid hands, while I just cannot hold onto the "palm" mice for any period of time without slipping off. Especially not when a mouse requires me to stabilize it with my thumb while putting the side buttons in some stupid to reach place. (I'm looking at you G400.) Anybody know a mouse that might work well with my undisciplined d monkey hands? (Already had a Deathadder and a G9x, both not working out that well over time.)

I'd recommend a a logitech m305 except that its wireless, but overall aside from that it is inexpensive, tiny, durable and very reliable with great battery life. I picked up a logi LS 1 a while ago and didnt like it due to its high dpi and low profile, but it is a smallish wired mouse. nftyw fucked around with this message at 17:57 on Jun 17, 2013 |

The m305 battery life is like 2-3 months continuous use. If you want a travel mouse you don't want a wire at all, and you probably won't find a real wired travel mouse.

The cheap mouse I'm using is really tiny, only 7 cms in length. It's also very light, like 45 grams. I thought I might find a similar size but high quality mouse but no luck. Closest thing I found is Roccat Pyra wired but there are complaints about this mouse such as the hard to press and problematic middle button and the sensor "bug" or whatever it is. There's also Steelseries Kinzu v2 Pro but it's kinda long. Thanks for the recommendations but I can't find either Zowie Mico or (for some weird reason) Logitech m305 at online retailers in my country. And I don't feel like Ebaying. I'm gonna look into mice similar to m305 (taking battery weight into consideration) and if I can't find anyone I like I'll probably order the Kinzu v2 pro and a nice mousepad.

It's difficult to not run across ten different colors of m305 in any store in the states.

I live in Turkey. Found one in the Turkish equivalent of Ebay but it's a light blue color that I don't like. For the record they don't list it in their US site anymore. http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-pointers/mice M310 might be the updated version of it. Anyway in a particular retailer (link in Turkish:http://bit.ly/1bSCS9K) they have a lot of very similar logitech models, I guess I'll just get one of them.

I'm torn between the G500 and G700. I have this kind of ergonomic shape at work and like it, so something a bit more 'game friendly' would be a bonus. Even though I have too many cables as it is, it looks like the G500 is probably the better product. Thoughts?

I'm on my second g500 (my first one got that double click problem about two months ago) and I love it. My first one lasted a good 4 years, and is probably still useable since the double click issue cleared up right after logitech shipped my new one. I find it fits my hand really nicely if I palm it, but it also works when i decide to use more of a claw-y grip, too.

Just plugged in my new G9x and it works like a charm. Even the dpi switcher works right away, although I'll have to install setpoint at some point to configure my hotkeys. I like to have the mouse-wheel wiggle left set to minimize, and wiggle right to open my music player. Convenient, and it has the added bonus of making my friends freak out every time they touch the mouse wheel. What changes were made between the G9 and G9x anyways? The only difference I noticed is that the smooth grip is grey instead of black. Kind of a downgrade, as it 'll need cleaning more often.
