Time for DDD to get a new mouse :3

de.das.dude · Aug 26, 2012, 06:01 AM

So my 4 year old awesome Acer mouse passes away yesterday. The rubber on its mouse wheel had already melted and then yesterday the buttons stopped working properly.

i dont do a lot of FPS gaming, mostly restricted to GTA 4 and COD MW3.

i am looking for the cheapest and the most durable of the lot. (budget Rs. 1000)
i have had bad luck with mouses. all the other mouses i bought after the Acer one has passed away.

refer to http://www.flipkart.com/computers/la...&_pop=brdcrumb

as thats where i will be buying from.

im looking at the Logitech M185 blue.

thanks!

I have a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer and I quite like it. I can't remember how much it was but it wasn't that much.

I'm recommending this. not the cheapest but this is a great mouse.

Sir B. Fannybottom · Aug 26, 2012, 07:19 AM

What would you consider cheap? I have a M60 and it's amazing! It's part aluminum, and the parts that are plastic still feel very study. I got mine for $60, and I think sneekypeet is selling on on here for $45, but I'm sure shipping to india would cost a lot.

Frick · Aug 26, 2012, 07:36 AM

Aye an actual budget (in rs) would be good.

de.das.dude · Aug 26, 2012, 07:54 AM

upto 1000rs.

mtosev · Aug 26, 2012, 07:59 AM

your going to get a shitty mouse i see. that's about 15euros

Looks like a gaming mouse but it's the first time I've seen the brand.

known of Atek a while, their products do what they say they do. That mouse looks decent, might as well try it.

Frederik S · Aug 26, 2012, 09:43 AM

The Atek is an ancient A4Tech design the same as OCZ used for their Equalizer gaming mice which are by all means straight up horrible. Save up a little longer and get a Logitech G300 I see that is only 1600 RS. And that mouse is only semi-bad. Unfortunately there are not a lot of good gaming mice below €30 (and I have no idea why most of the components are quite cheap).

Cheers,
Fred

Jetster · Aug 26, 2012, 09:53 AM

I got my G500 on a Shell shocker for $34. Amazing mouse 5700DPI

FreedomEclipse · Aug 26, 2012, 09:39 PM

+1 for the G500, a G400 is also a nice mouse...

the G300 has had mixed reviews however, there is some talk about it being smaller then the G400 & G500 so it might not suit your grip.

Ive been rocking a G500 for 2years or so and apart from an initial squeeking sound when pressing the left mouse button which was fixed by a small blast of chain lubricant and left a few days to completely dry it has been an excellent gaming mouse. However I do prefer my Logitech G7 a little more but Logitech dont make them anymore.

Frag Maniac · Aug 26, 2012, 11:52 PM

The only gaming mice that site has under Rs 1000 are...

Atek 7 Key
http://www.flipkart.com/atek-7-key-s...7-8773f116c238

...and

Genius Navigator G500
http://www.flipkart.com/genius-navig...4-4ed1f2fd8824

You'd be gambling with either frankly. If your Acer was OEM with a PC, that's likely why it lasted 3 years vs 1 or 2. Don't expect made for gaming mice in that price range to last as long.

For a bit more, I would advise this one.

de.das.dude · Aug 27, 2012, 08:07 AM

doesnt need to be a gaming mouse. i hardly get time to play FPS games anymore.
but i do a lot of CAD work, so the pads must be super smooth.

eidairaman1 · Aug 27, 2012, 09:00 AM

how sensitive does the sensor have to be?

silapakorn · Aug 27, 2012, 09:07 AM

I use M60 on Razer Goliathus (speed). The smoothness is superb.
M60 is a great mouse with solid aluminum body and large multiple Teflon feet.
I still recommend this despite the fact that you are saying repeatedly you don't want a gaming mouse.
The truth is, it feels good in your hand the moment you touch it. You don't need to play a game to see how it shines.

no idea.

never used a high dpi mouse. dont know what it does.

but my mouse needs to be accurate. shouldnt shake and all.
and must have a sturdy middle mouse button + scroll as that is need a lot in AutoCAD

eidairaman1 · Aug 27, 2012, 09:32 AM

well a higher DPI mouse you'd need a steadier hand as a slight movement can cause issues.

I would of recommended a Logitech MX510 or 518 but they aren't sold anymore...

de.das.dude · Aug 27, 2012, 09:36 AM

i have a very steady hand i guess. i dont need a gaming mouse as previously stated.
i just a good ol smooth mouse that can take a beating on the buttons.

Fourstaff · Aug 27, 2012, 09:48 AM

Get your bog standard HP/Dell, they are pretty decent. Change the feet if it doesn't glide well enough. I went from using my Sidewinder X5 to MX Performance to HP el cheapo within a month, didn't see statistically significant drop in my gaming performance. Can't comment on precision works though, but that can be fixed using low DPI setting. Back to X5 now, I like the size.

de.das.dude · Sep 3, 2012, 05:13 AM

Thanks to everyone here for helping out!

decided to get the logitech G400 as everyone seems to recommend that.
mom will give me some money and i have saved up a couple of 100rs in the last week!

plus i'll be getting 15% discount at logitech thanks to dads club membership. yayayayayayayay!

DanTheBanjoman · Sep 3, 2012, 07:18 AM

I still use my MS basic optical. Have done so for many, many years. You can take them for free from various workplaces.

xBruce88x · Sep 3, 2012, 07:55 AM

I still use low dpi mice, but only b/c I started gaming when mice still had balls. I'm still used to the low DPI settings (around 400-800) but when I do use a higher DPI mouse I can definitely notice how much more accurate it is when I turn its speed sensitivity down in games and such as opposed to a lower DPI mouse with the speed sensitivity turned up. Though I usually also turn on mouse smoothing in games and windows as well.

Right now I'm using this old thing...

The bottom glows red too lol. Its "up to" 800DPI and I have to turn the speed up on it.

I have an HP mouse that is 1200DPI I think. Its more sensitive and I don't need to crank the speed up as much but its also more accurate at the same time... Both mice are a far cry from the first one I used...

As far as wireless mice go, I've used this one for gaming and had no issues, and the battery lasted freaking forever!

A bit expensive though... overall though Logitech is usually a safe bet.

I would of recommended a Logitech MX510 or 518 but they aren't sold anymore... __________________ Athlon XP USERS with COD 4 FIX http://www.techsupportforum.com/foru...ls-202011.html http://www.howorks.com/2011/02/24/ho...-memory-limit/ “Sometimes my level of fail is unprecedented.” -TheMailMan78 “This is what the force of a thousand suns looks like.” -3870x2

Change the feet if it doesn't glide well enough. I went from using my Sidewinder X5 to MX Performance to HP el cheapo within a month, didn't see statistically significant drop in my gaming performance. Can't comment on precision works though, but that can be fixed using low DPI setting. Back to X5 now, I like the size.

I'm still used to the low DPI settings (around 400-800) but when I do use a higher DPI mouse I can definitely notice how much more accurate it is when I turn its speed sensitivity down in games and such as opposed to a lower DPI mouse with the speed sensitivity turned up. Though I usually also turn on mouse smoothing in games and windows as well. Right now I'm using this old thing... The bottom glows red too lol. Its "up to" 800DPI and I have to turn the speed up on it. I have an HP mouse that is 1200DPI I think. Its more sensitive and I don't need to crank the speed up as much but its also more accurate at the same time... Both mice are a far cry from the first one I used... As far as wireless mice go, I've used this one for gaming and had no issues, and the battery lasted freaking forever! A bit expensive though... overall though Logitech is usually a safe bet. __________________
