I swear by Razer...

had a guy last night would would only use c4 (and only use it on infantry) sneakiest bastard you ever saw.

I'm always skeptical about expensive mice/keyboards. Although I have some friends that swear by them, and macro keys sounds like they could be useful.

I have a $30 logitech wireless desktop (keyboard/mouse) myself...

P.S. Is it ironic that the batteries on my keyboard ran out while I was typing this? I only replace them about every 5-6 months too.

I have the original 1800 DPI (MAC white backlit) Deathadder
The new higher DPI Razer Deathadder (braided cable FTW)
The Razer Tarantula
And the Razer Naga.

I love and swear by Razer products as well. I never got into the weighted mice or any of that garbage. These mice are weighted fine and allow me to PWN so whatevers.

back in the 1942 days, we'd just go prone on the wings and do really weird aerial combat

Had some fun times doing this, was easier on the big heli. If you jumped on the windshield, then went prone and tried crawling backwards you would actually teleport into the passenger part of the heli. And you couldn't get pushed backwards as the wall inside held you there, but yet you could still should out the windshield.

C4 works awesome on infantry, they like to group p, if you can get a group of people to chase you to a spot where they are comfortable and don't want to leave because there isn't much cover beyond that, you place the C4 and hope your mind reading skills are good then bait them in. Easier to do on rush, set the charge, plane the C4, hide, they come to disarm... profit?

back in the BF2 days - we used to call that 'Jihading'

if i remember correctly u could jus crash into the tank and itd explode with u on it

now its all gay and u have to jump off and detonate...


and i caved, got a 5870 yesterday over my 295 and had to play with dx11. the game runs noticeably smoother

dont forget the G500, superior to G9 imo.

Anyone know what is up with the PC patch? Thought there was one coming out this week? Sorry if this has already been asked.

every time someone asks, god kills a cat girl, and the patch gets delayed one microsoft hour.

Meh, not too worried about the cat girl, but a microsoft hour. 0_o

Speaking of Microsoft (and off topicness), I installed Visual Studio 2010 Ultimate from MSDNAA, and any time I try to select text it crashes to desktop with no error message.

Ohhh yeahhhhh.

Mine too. Together, we shall rule the world.

I hate every Razer product I have owned, including this Lycosa I'm currently typing from. I think they are just cheap crap with fancy labels and jacked up price tags.

Ive ran into a few of those in BF2 too... what they do is they sneak around cap points & if they see you then they run close enough to throw C4 right at your feet & by the time you actually notice & see a glimps of some one jumping over the wall & say "dave, did you just see something?" *BOOM*

its a funny way to play if you got sneaky skillz

I never saw the G500. Looks like a G5 with more buttons. Very nice. However I have big hands. I went from a G5 to a sidewinder due to size.

I kinda agree. Logitech makes the best high end mice period. IMO.

 

[kid41212003]

I have been using Logitech products for quite long now. I want to try something different. The new Death Adder is the first mouse from Razer that I have. It will be here on Wednesday. I will let you guys now how it is....

G500 is fairly big, i find the G9 to be even smaller... G500 is the same basic shell as the G5/MX518/MX510 etc.

Three thumb buttons, two 'sensitivity' buttons and the uber scroll wheel... its awesome.

Should be noted that EVERY button on the mouse can be customised via software (And saved to the firmware on the mouse) and that includes G-key functionality on a per-profile basis. you can setup G key macros for one game and ahve the button do something else in another game. its win.

Personally i've setup a few macros already, such as one that opens the console and types commands to bring up FPS/stats in various games. As for other profiles, it helps a lot with games where things dont work right, like all the console ports that dont let you use a mouse with more than 3 buttons... just pretend they're a keyboard key for that game alone, and all is awesome.

G500 is also the same shape as the G7 (almost) I tested my mates G500 a few days ago, its a very nice mouse & i totally love the shape of it (something my G9 dont have)

the mouse is great asside from a few minor cosmetic issues

- It would have been nice if the DPI switching was located else where on the mouse or in the same spot as the G7. as i have accidently switched dpi a few times in the heat of a gunbattle accidently

- Middle button on the < & > buttons on the side - the buttons are just too close together & pressing one of the < or > buttons usually means pressing the middle button too - for those of us with big hands so it possibly needs to be disabled for those who are affected..

- scroll 'ratchet' switch - how many of use acutally need this feature so badly that it makes it to the top of the mouse & sits in the place where DPI switches should be??? fucking useless, nuff said

Finally.....

Lighting - One GREAT feature i like about the G9 is that it changes colour when switching profiles. I have noticed that quite often the Logitech software freezes or crashes which means it would fail to switch profiles automatically when starting up a game in which case id have to completely close of the logitech app & restart it.

 

[Mussels]

i knew i missed one. G7 it was.

DPI: better where they are now, then the location on the MX518/G7. i never accidentally hit them.

Middle thumb button: yeah but you adjust. at first i was clumsy with it, now i am not and can use all 3. ANY mouse with 3 thumb buttons will experience this issue.

Everyone has/is entitled to their own preferences/opinions. I have not had a single problem with any Razer product I own/have owned.

No other company has made a mouse like the Naga (gamepads don't count as they AREN'T MICE!) Till a company can one up the Naga...I'm set.

while I completely agree, no one can change the fact that unlke most other razer products, the Naga is gut-wrenchingly fugly (obviously this is another personal opinion, and it does seem very functional; but look at it! LOOK!!)

I love my lachesis, however the shape takes getting used too (because ts ambidextrous), and I really want to make the switch to the mamba... maybe this summer.

P.S. I have to say that Razer's software, while not the best, is very functional and easy to use (and just as programmable as any other)

 

[TRIPTEX_CAN]

I have a first gen. Sidewinder. Shes been a good mouse but my next one will be a G9.

I had that mouse and liked it for a while but then I grew to hate it .

While it may look ‘ugly’ (to you)…its functionality is superiorly unmatched. I understand not everyone plays the same types of games as everyone else…but it’s a definite advantage over a basic mouse/keyboard set up in MMOs. With 12 buttons at my thumb I can press and chain faster than the traditional 12 key keyboard setup. Its functionality is not limited to MMOs though…it helps me switch weapons a hell of a lot faster than the mouse wheel in FPSs.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

I have a G9...Where as i dont particularly like how it it looks. it more or less ticks the right box's in terms of functionality & If Logitech dont come up with something better then a G500, I could see myself going after the Coolermaster Senteniel Advance. or maybe a roccat.

if my G9 broke. I wouldnt be so quick to get anotherone - even if Logtiech were to offer me 50% off my next perchase.

I do like the grip on the G500 though....the way your hand just literally molds onto the shape of the mouse.

 

[Scrizz]

I like my sidewinder, works well for me.
Fits nicely in my hand

 

[1Kurgan1]

I like my $10 Logitech, lol. But seriously I need to get my MX Rev going again, I really could careless about hotkeys, I rarely use them, I like a huge thumb cradle, I want to set my hand on my mouse and move it, I don't like having to actually hold the mouse.
