The only thing i would like to test or even to have its the electra headset...

i have it it sounds ok, the mic cord is annoying (need a combined mic/speaker jack 3.5 and on a smartphone : no select/volume buttons) i rather prefer the Arctic P614 BT which cost half the price of that one and sounds quit better (but is BT4.0), currently seeking something else i have to say ... i don't really know why i still keep my Electra (well that might be because of the "nearly no resell value outside being put at a 10$ price mark" ) 79.90chf is the price, a so so headset not bad sound comfy but as usual overpriced as hell... for what it is.

tho Razer do good mousemat ... (overpriced as well) at last one domain where they are good ... (not that it's real hard to do a good mousemat tho ...) even if my Destructor is at a friends house while i use a Roccat Alumic (again half the price of the Razer Equivalent: Vespula)

last "i hate Razer words" edit :roll:

: Razer should be like Trust in term of pricing. (well even here .... my GXT 166 had a longer time without problem than my Naga ... not hard just need to pass the 1st month of use, and still no hiccup, all that for half the price .... as usual)

I am perfectly content with my MX518 that I have had for at least 8 to 10 years or so. I just do not see any reason to upgrade a mouse that works well and has given me no real issues. (Had to clean it out once but that was it.)

Loved my G700s. Software was great. Mouse and teflon feet would not wear out. Just as fast in wireless as wired mode.
Can program buttons with ease. Cable can be replaced with any standard usb cable. By far the best Logitech gaming mouse I ever bought,
and I've bought a few expensive logitech mice over the years. I used the hell out of it, until a bad psu fried it.
Going to put an M95 through the torture test now... although with a new psu....

Cvrk · Mar 31, 2015

I have this.

It's good. Cost me 10$ in 2013. I modified the buttons,to reduce clicking noise.You need precision and lots of patience to do this,but it's worth it.

I'm not surprised! One of the best mouse models ever made.

Mx500 @ 1000Hz, it was the best mouse I ever had, it went solid perfect as soon as you OC-ed it, but it was a bit heavy, so I had to lighten the sell.
I have a g400 now. I had to sandpaper the ledge from the right side because it made me hold my pinky in a weird way, and made my grip painful over time. It tracks perfectly so I can't complain about the sensor, but I would really need to take some time and lighten this up also, because it's too heavy just like the whole family (all the g4xx-g5xx,etc).

Companies were named Acme for real back when it was important to be first alphabetically in yellow pages, also acme is a Greek word for "the top"

And here i thought i will be laughed at or mocked for my unexpensive mouse. I could buy a new graphics card with the money some people here spend on mouses.
Looking at the gear a lot of members here on forum have, i feel like a live in a different world.

"Gaming Hardware such a mouse and keyboard is not necesary, but some people like the way they look, ergonomics, and also some xtra features, at least im one of them!

rtwjunkie · Mar 31, 2015

@Cvrk No one should ever be laughing at you for your gear! I bet you enjoy tweaking yours for maximum performance as much as the next person. That's an entusiast!!
