Gaming mice, the bad and good ones!

[GreiverBlade]

well little update: the Trust GXT 166 MMO is awesome ...
once you get used to the 3 little red plastic button the rest feel awesome (coming from a ex G600/602 owner it's a rather good compliment)

for a 59.90chf/62.50$ i am quite satisfied and the driver+soft are not bad at all (albeit i dont use 16400dpi and rarely above 2800) plus the weight cartridge is a nice thing to have, the feet/cord are still in a good state, the wheel is still smooth and precise and the shape is still the most comfortable multi-button mouse i ever had.

it also relegate the Naga at the rank of "overexpensive piece of trash" (all model/editions include)

this one you said?

solid mouse... i remember this babe at my local PC shop pretty years ago!

Regards,

Ya thats it...the first version.
Unfortunately the scroll wheel has a flimsy fork that it uses for the ratchet and its broken and no way to fix it.
No biggy but a definite weak spot as if the wheel isnt in a locked position, it will continue to scroll weapons which is pretty annoying so I use the side buttons for next weapon and special grenade switch

personally i dont use so much side bottoms on a mouse even when my level 10 has a couple...

Microsoft Sidewinder Gaming Mouse
Part Number: HKA-00001

Using it since 2008, great mouse

Took me a while to get used to the hump in it, but it tracked really predictably and was a nice solid mouse. Only reason why I switched was the hump and because the new mouse changes colors.

Loving this one at the moment.

Zowie FK1. Perfect sensor, no ridiculous but only useful DPI settings. Solid as a rock, no acceleration. No flashy lights except on the bottom to show what DPI setting you're on at a glance. Scroll wheel is also really nice.

Also this is the first mouse where my side buttons haven't broken after a month or two. If you're in the market for a gaming mouse, check out Zowie. No nonsense stuff. They also have bigger mice, this one really is a claw gripper.

Oh and my last one was a Sharkoon Darkglider Palm grip, large mouse with flashy lights and stupid DPI settings. Yeah... I learned some things from that mouse

I've been rocking an MX518 for years. Got the new mouse itch and I finally gave in. I have nothing but praise for this mouse. And one thing I never would have even guessed would be so helpful is the "talking" aspect of the Kone.

Love:
Just about anything Logitech has made (Since the 90's, love their original Wingman mice) in the last years, I had 1x MX300, 2x MX500, 1xMX700, 2x MX518, G500s and now using the G502s. for work I used countless of their cheap OEM mice.
I even had my father get an MX-518 when he started spending more time on gaming on his laptop, for the Ergonomic comfort and durability.

I like Steelseries because they're generally light and okay for travel, but mostly because I got a lot of them for free, I would personally not buy an ambidextrous SS mouse.

Hate:
Razer mice, cost way too much money and build quality is probably the poorest of any brand, DeathAdder, Copperhead or the utterly utterly abysmal Lachesis.
Level 10 GT, oh wow, how anyone dared to put that on the market is beyond me, bad sensor (think Razer Lachesis), bad clicking.

Got my Corsair M95 today. Will have to report again after a week or so of using, but so far, one dam sweet mouse. With my semi-claw/palm grip, it feels perfect in my hand. It has just the right amount of heft due to the serious amount of aluminum throughout the body of it. The buttons have a good feel to them, and are fairly easy to use. The software is quite comprehensive and complete, and the macro support is off the charts. I'll have to do some gaming on it to really test it properly though. It slides very smoothly on any surface, the ptfe pads and the brushed aluminum bottom seem to help with that. I like the surface testing mode that helps you set tracking on the particular surface you are using.

Yes the build quality seems quite decent. I haven't had the mouse for very long, but it seems to be something that will last long. The button presses and overall fit and finish are very nice and sturdy. The mouse wheel feels awesome, like it will outlast even my mechanical keyboard. Lighting options are nice (if you want them) and the cord and usb port are excellent build quality. No acceleration is present, and haven't had any problems with random jumping of the cursor/x-hair, or any sort of angle snapping.The coating on the mouse is an added benefit. Like a silky textured feeling. Kind of hard to describe. I can palm the mouse or claw it, which is also nice.

At work I use a Logitech Performance MX and I have to say it's almost fabulous to use.

thats pretty cool, my keyboard dont have play / pause button, i really miss that...im thinking if i should put them on mouse... since i use the other buttons seldom,

At work I use a Logitech Performance MX and I have to say it's almost fabulous to use.

i use a Microsoft arc touch wireless since 2013 pretty responsible mouse, didn't have problems so far,

 

[Atomic77]

I love all computer mice except for anything that's wireless the batteries die fast on them.

Logitech Marathon M705, Logitech G602 ... the batteries do not die fast on them... (i still have the same battery in my M705 since 4yrs and i use it regularly, the G602 i did 6month with 2 Energizer lithium and a daily use around 10hrs )

Microsoft arc touch mouse, batteries last pretty much on it.. its may everyday mouse... also pretty comfortable,

Only negative about my M95 is the wheel isn't a tilt wheel. My eventual solution was to use and compile an Autohotkey script that maps wheel left and right to the left ctrl key. So I assigned left ctrl to a key on the mouse,
and voila! press and hold the key, the wheel scrolls left and right now. It's a small nuisance, and most gamers won't care about it, but some people like their tilt wheel! This is a decent work-around, and actually I find
the smooth horizontal scrolling this way much better. You can actually dl the script once you install Autohotkey, it's pretty easy to set up as well. So anyone without tilt wheels, like myself, this works great!

Wasn't going to post pics, because my tablet is old and the camera sucks, but f it...

nice metalic base on that corsair ...

 

[thevoiceofreason]

I had two Logitech G400s die within one year. Very disappointing, as I used to like mx518 and it was very solid. Looks like these days Logitech got into this "planned obsolescence" thing...

I ordered Mionix Naos 7000 for 40EUR on amazon which seemed like a good deal, we'll see.

 

[wolar]

My sensei raw starts doing problems with mouse wheel. Does any one knows if its fixable ?
And also i would like some recommendations in case i buy a new one , i hold it claw type and don't mind if its a simple like sensei which i love.
Thanks for the help !

Edit: How about steelseries rival ? does any one knows if it's a good one?

 

[peche]

Tt Level 10 M Wired... best mouse so far, personal opinion!

 

[wolar]

Thanks for the reply , i prefer something simpler , optical sensor and the other problem with my sensei raw is that
the left-right click must be pressed on the end-middle , holding it with palm would be fine, which i don't and i find them hard to press.
Any other recommendation is appreciated.

thermaltake commander combo, it also includes a keyboard!
nice and simple mouse, extravagant keyboard,
