I have the G502 Proteus Core and it's really good. I have it for quite some time now and I can't really say there is anything I don't like about it. Maybe the underside of the mouse should be a bit higher than it is, because it's dragging it's underside plastic surrounding the sensor on my Razer Goliathus pad and the gliding isn't as smooth. Then again G3 was doing the same. Not sure why they design them this way. Other than that, it's really good. Also, Goliathus is a soft pad, so that could be the reason, because it's possible it's not perfectly flat or has become waved over time with use.

so "Whats This" ? :banghead:
I'm afraid I had to look as well, Gnome, in case it was a wrist support of some sort I'd not seen (carpal tunnel giving me a bit of grief). It's a "weight", for wearing around while you exercise. So, he's saying it's compatible with any mouse....

I thought you wanted weights?

Corsair Makes a mouse that is RBG and meets your requirements. I think its the M65
I want weights, but if i can find something great at my price range maybe I won't have to exceed it.

The Corsair M65 is replaced with the M65 Pro which has minor differences with the older one, but the problem is that both of them are designed for claw grip. :/
Mionix Naos 7000 is pretty bang on without weights
as I stated before, it's in my list, do you own the mouse?
Failing that, since you are willing to go without the weights, a Logitech G400s should be perfect. It is a redesigned MX-518, and feels exactly the same in hand.
Logitech G400s is discontinued...

My mistake for not elaborating. You can still get new, unopened ones off of places like ebay.
It's a risk that I'm not willing to take.

please tell me about the scroll wheel. I use it a lot and I would like it to be made of some hard material, those rubber ones are so easy to fail...

I am also interested in Cooler Master Sentinel III, it has all the features at want and it is in my price range too!

Anyone knows something about this one?

What risk? Of the hundreds of new items I have bought on eBay, every single one has been new and unopened. It's the used stuff you take your chances on.

there are a lot of things to consider here such as fakes, faulty stock, overpricing etc. I won't do such a thing when there are a ton of newer and maybe better mouse. ;)

anyone got any info for the Cooler Master Sentinel III?

LOL....m'kay. Statement like that can only be attributed to misinformation. Unsubbing.

I had their first M65, not very great at least for shooters. its awkward to hold and aim with, its fat and short., and uses laser sensor with build in acceleration. I moved from it too a rival 300 and my accuracy is light years better in bf4 and csgo.

Zowei ec2-a if you want bigger size, ec1 is the one. Ambidex mouse ok? Zowei fk or logitech G Pro is good too. Im using g303 now and able to survive 3 minutes on aimbooster. I play Bf4 and have at least 24% accuracy on assault rifle.

I have a Corsair M65 Pro RG and it is the best mouse I've ever owned. Works smoothly and fits upon your mentioned specs. I found it a bit pricey though at $142. But totally worth it.

the Zowie ec2-a doesn't have weights, dedicated dpi button and no RGB lighting. IMHO is overpriced for what it offers.

Zowie FK is an ambidextrous mouse, something that I don't want.

The Logitech G Pro isn't released yet as I can see on Amazon, but I really can't understand why logitech is asking for 80 euros for a mouse that has this rubber scroll wheel!

I won't spend so much money on a mouse, I'm not a professional e-sports player!


Any thoughts about the two that I mentioned earlier?
