Gaming mice, the bad and good ones!

[manofthem]

Why ?

Despite the level of customization, I didn't find the mouse to be comfortable, and comfort is king for me, hence my love for the Mamba. The RAT has a few useless features to me, like the red side button that slows dpi (touted for sniping), which is hard to actually use, and the adjustable weights which I never used because I didn't want a heavy mouse.

Also, the thumb area is adjustable where you can swing it out and in, but when I put I out, I found it to creep back in.

The 9 is the same as the 7 just wireless, so the feels are the same.


However, on the plus side for the RAT: the braided cord is nice on the 7 and I liked the charging method of the 9 (2 removable batteries so you don't have to worry about battery death). Also, they look beast so when non-technical people see your mouse, they are blown away.

(just edited this, I made a lot of grammatical mistakes )

Love;
Microsoft Sidewinder X8!!!!!!!!! I seriously love this mouse.
Virtually any Mionix NAOS series
Func MS-3
Logitech M950
Some random Intel branded one that came in a gift-pack from an Intel exhibition I went to.

Hate;
Corsair M60, the only mouse I've had to develop the dreaded 'double-click', also the only mouse I've had that has pitted...
Razer deathadder
and a few more but they must have been forgetfully bad

Pretty good Reason...

R.A.T. mice are kinda cool, most of my non gamer friends prefer to use the wired Microsoft mouse instead of my level 10, they say that’s seems to be a robotic expensive thing they don’t want to screw up …

 

[remixedcat]

are the best G700 and 502 and the worst so far as materials is the Microsoft comfort mobile mouse 3000 and the worst so far as other stuff in my "exteme gear" mouse.

My Level 10 almost died…
red laser its kinda dead… but mouse still works but only within mouse pad… in any other surface it would work… I would try it out tonight on the new mouse pad…
I'm so sad

Love:
basically any mouse out there that does the job(especially the cheaper ones) and fits my hand fine. I play alot of FPS/strat games but I'm not very picky when it comes to mouse and 'DPI' features. It helps though to have additional buttons

Hate:
Madcatz R.A.T. 5 - this is the only 'expensive' mouse that I bought and it died/broke on me countless times in less than 12 months, and googling the net shows that alot of people are also having problems.

what's more infuriating is that the warranty service took 2-3 months to give me back my mouse. after receiving the mouse and finding it malfunctioning merely weeks later, I just let it go and bought a new cheaper mouse which I am currently using. After a while I tried it out again, It worked, but I won't use it anymore.

madcats is full of gimmacks

The only mice I truly hate are the ones with scroll wheels that spin smoothly. I need clicks!

 

[remixedcat]

Dual mode like Logitech G502 and G700 is nice

Fav:
CM Storm Xornet - Small, ergonomic, cheap. Unfortunately comes with a bad build quality.
Roccat Kone Pure Optical - I'm using this! LOVE it.
EVGA TORQ X10 Carbon - I don't have it but I tried at my friend's place.

Hate:
Razer stuff - Because they are too big (most important reason), expensive and yet have BAD build quality. I had Imperator 2012 and Deathadder 2013. They both broke within a month. Since then I avoid them at all cost.
Mad Catz - Bad build quality and ugly.

I hate small mice. My hands aren't that small, and resting the palm is a quite cruical need.

My faves.

1. Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer (sent to retirement due to low DPI)
2. The original Microsoft Intellimouse (yes, the one with ball(s) , works flawlessly on any obscure desk surface at my work(mouse pads are prohibited due to ESD reasons))
3. Razer Deathader 3.5 (Yes Synapse sucks, but otherwise zero problems, using currently.)
4. Logitech G7 (shortlived, I hate to charge batteries so my first and last wireless mouse, but I liked it, it was comfy)

Hate list

1. Logitech G9 (just gives me the creeps)

 

[micropage7]

i like simple mouse and standard size

i dont like small mouse (like for laptops) and too much buttons on it (its mouse not keyboard)

 

[Toothless]

I looovvee my Corsair M60.

I hate the HP mice that comes with their desktops. So cheaply made and I was able to pop one of the buttons out.

Oh and anything small.

 

[HammerON]

Love my ROCCAT Kone Pure
Before that I had a Razer Deathadder and loved it as well.
So that leaves me with two mice I love and none that I have bought that I do not...

Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 master race!

 

[st2000]

had lots of mices, but for last 3 years prefer wired ones(monitor+chair->TV+sofa)
so from wired i can say that logitech mices always get lags(sometimes power off, sometimes battery bugs, sometimes not stable signal) but they got pretty cool drivers/soft
as far as i'm not considering to play/use PC with lags, i tried microsoft(wireles kit 2000 cause it was cheap)
first impression - it's realy loud on clicks, but no lags at all on any surface(even crumpled textile), second impression - i can replace batteries more seldom
now i'm on microsoft wireless kit 3000, fully satisfied( keybord battery replace is about 5-7 months, mouse is about 2 months) with usage PC about 6-8 hours a day
as far as i use microsoft kits, i hate other stuff
the only minus is rubber wheel(my kit 2000 was about 1.5 years and i change it only cause of that damn spoiled wheel-lying, keybord havent had "sound off" button-the second reason)
so 50-70$ for about 1.5-2 years of usage it's ok

I loved my Logitech G5, G500, and currently G602. I still have my last G500 and it works fine. I just wanted to go wireless. I took a gamble with the G602 as I've never liked wireless mice, but it's the first wireless mouse where I can't feel the delay between the mouse and the screen. It's like the G500 but without a wire and independent sensitivity control versus DPI control. With some good sized NiMH batteries, I get maybe 2 months out of a single charge on average. Sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.

I don't hate a particular brand of mouse, but a mouse should fit the entirety of my hand, I really don't like small mice. Having been provided a Mac for work, I can say I'm also not a big fan of Apple Trackpads, even for regular us. I use the Mac for development so the keyboard means a bit more than the pointing device.

upgraded from my M60 to a Tt Level 10M great mouse so far, but the shape and handling are taking a bit of getting used to.

I love my MX518, and hate most wireless mice.

For gaming that is, for things like just surfing the web as long as its decently accurate I cold care less.

[Nordic]

Love: Corsair m60 (Only non cheapo mouse I have had)
Hate: Cheapo mice I have had

 

[Jetster]

Favorite: Logitech G502, G9X,

Hated: Razor. The sensor seams to be odd

The only mice I truly hate are the ones with scroll wheels that spin smoothly. I need clicks!

You would love the new Corsair Sabre RGB. I just got one and its got a hard click wheel. You can buy it if you want it

 

[ThE_MaD_ShOt]

Favorite is my G500s and most unliked is the cheapie "on" branded mouse Walmart sells. Now the "On" cheapie keyboard is ok.
