Need a new mouse

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Mar 17, 2010, 06:51 AM

Im in desperate need of a new mouse as my Habu is taking a shit on me. Looking for suggestions that is NOT the Mad Catz gaming mouse. Id prefer it to have side buttons and it be a right handed mouse (ambidextrous works too)

Thanks guys.

Good ol Logitech G5? Or G7?

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Mar 17, 2010, 04:25 PM

This one!

Edit: ...oops.

I might actually get one, though. That is, when they come out.

digibucc · Mar 17, 2010, 04:41 PM

i've got a logitech g500, and love it. it's pretty cheap, as good as the 518 - but better as it has more features, and abetter texture that doesn't get slippery after extended use. good mouse

oli_ramsay · Mar 17, 2010, 04:45 PM

Logitech MX-518, classic, comfortable and cheap.

"

Oh OCZ etc have rebranded these but these a4tech original ones are much cheaper and even better than rebranded ones..I like it better than my old MX-518

CrAsHnBuRnXp · Mar 17, 2010, 06:28 PM

Not bad. Now if i could just find someone that sells them in the states.

nt300 · Mar 17, 2010, 08:50 PM

SteelSeries has good mouse. This is what I planning on getting once my wife releases some funds to me

newtekie1 · Mar 17, 2010, 09:01 PM

My vote goes to the G7. Same shape as the MX-518, so you should be used to it, but 2000DPi and cordless.

Of course the trick is finding one...

tigger · Mar 17, 2010, 09:09 PM

I'm using a G9 myself,its handy to load the profiles to the mouse and uninstall the software

MustangGT2142 · Mar 17, 2010, 09:11 PM

i have a G500, it's a great mouse, it has 5 dpi settings (up to 5700dpi), weights and much more features and it's not expansive at all.
I say go for it.

mlee49 · Mar 17, 2010, 09:23 PM

I've had my Logitech G5 for 3 years now. Only 2000 dpi and 5 buttons but it's removable weights and superb form really make it my favorite.

I've considered a wireless mouse and the MX Revolution is AWESOME! The Anywhere MX is a slimmer wireless option.

Logitech has mouse's and keyboards down to a T. I dont go anywhere else.
