mouse recommendations. Anybody impressed with theyre current/past mice?

[eidairaman1]

No I don't expect to get any type of super human capabilities out of a mouse, I'm reasonably grounded in reality. Not to mention gaming isnt my priority as I have a family and children which take precedence. But I've been gaming long enough to of forgotten more about gaming then many professional gamers have learned in their careers.

Not to mention the late 80s and early 90s were a real bitch on my brain cells

Speak of the devil I forgot to say thank you for your input

G400S is a MX510/18 pretty much

 

[uuuaaaaaa]

I have used creative, razer, steel series and Roccat mice in the past, but the best mice that I have ever had was/is the Zowie AM (they have better mice now). I find zowie mice to be top notch performers and top quality and fairly priced! All the other mice from other brands that I tried broke in less than a year. I play mostly online fps like quake live.

1. Microsoft Bluetooth mini mouse: rubber sides
2. Logitech Performance MX: rubber sides
3. Mad catz Rat 7, rubber finish

Sticky mouse suck! I have not cleaned them with gasoline or something agressive, just typical furniture cleansing stuff. I think there should be a class action (maybe against me for hurting little animals, don't know, lol)

I just take the mice apart from time to time and wash all the plastics/rubber with water and soap.

The mouth takes the germ count crown for sure, but aquaphobiacs would disagree with the rest ... and everyone else inside 100 m radius

that is a Fact i am uncomfortably aware of currently. I have recently been fighting infections in my jaw, from a tooth that broke after a Very short guy, suprise right hooked Me when i wasnt looking in a bar, years ago. The infection i fought off this fall, took SO much...from surgery , to medicine, to needles poking into my face, samples submitted to the infectious disease facility, and awaiting results.....I NEVER want to go through that agan. the mouth is FILTHY.

OFF SUBJECT,SORRY....

Mice i've owned or tried at friends' computers and my opinion of them:

Logitech MX518, Logitech G9: Epic mice for their time -especially in terms of ergonomics- but they are just outdated now in terms of sensor performance

mad catz RAT7: great ergonomics especially for big hands, bad QC, tons of problems with the double laser but otherwise great mouse when it worked. Im sure they've fixed their QC problems on newer versions.

Logitech G500 (not the S version): bad laser performance, so-so ergonomics

Corsair M65 (first version): bad laser performance, epic quality build, good ergonomics.

Razer Deathadder: Good laser, great ergonomics, I hate the huge click gap (i mean the movement your finger must do for the click to be registered is way too big)

Roccat Kone Pure Optical (4000dpi version): there are many laser and optical versions of this mouse. The one I have is freaking brilliant in terms of sensor accuracy and smoothness (using it at 800dpi currently). Its small in size though, which is perfect for me but not good for others.

If i had to buy a new mouse now, i'd be between the new logitech and roccat mice with the pmw3366 sensors and i'd definately stay away from Avago laser as they all suck hard

I like my Stealseries Sensei wireless, although i been waiting on the double clicking to start but not yet.

I have had a few Stealseries mice, like the XAI, Sensei wired ( expensive silver one ) and now the wireless one.

The Sensei wired and wireless are different as they use different switches for the left\right click they require a little more pressure for activation for the wireless Sensei.

I like the G700s even if i am left handed, with the lighter clicks and the scroll wheel which i love using while browsing the internet and playing Elite Dangerous as it real handy with navigating the solar system.

How ever if i am playing Arma it's all about the Sensei as the scroll wheel is not as lose and is much less prone for accidents. In fact goes for over 1st person shooters for me too.

Other than that a bunch of Razer mice that did not last even 8 months, i been wanting to try a G900 how ever that price tag OWCH, maybe get a secondhand one of ebay some time with a double click syndrome .

 

[dcf-joe]

... and the fmouse, being discontinued ...

If I recall correctly, according to FM's twitter, they are discontinuing the Ergo and Tournament lines and just having the Scream One Editions as the S1 is supposed to be the culmination of all of their research, tweaking, and work.

I'm not even sure where to get one. I got mine from fasttech. Fmouse seems to be made by some strange chinese company... not really easy to buy from them. It's a shame, was a great mouse for a great price but they had to go and discontinue the thing,...

I did look around and it seems like the company is having "issues." Amazon seems sold out on the Classic and Tournament models and people are scalping their used ones for $200 plus I remember getting my 2016 Edition Classic Ergo earlier this year for around $65 from Amazon.

Since I really only play CS:GO, it seems like the go-to mice are the usual: Zowie EC, Logitech Pro, Logitech G403.

I can't imagine spending that much on a mouse, especially this one. Sure it's a good mouse, but not $200 good. Relatively low DPI, no software to program buttons on the mouse (that I know of)...

Yup. The mouse is completely driverless. The only buttons that are on the mouse are the left click, right click, DPI button, mouse wheel (which is also a button itself), and on the left side of the mouse are small forward, backward buttons. The logo on the rear of the mouse is also illuminated white (if I remember correctly, I don't pay much attention to the light.) This, the polling rate (500 MHz), and other mouse settings can not be changed due to this mouse being driverless. There are only four DPI settings: 400, 800, 1600, and 3200.

i looked int othat mouse, however for Me, personally the lack of weight customization, and that damn Joystick knob, just was too much of a deal breaker.
i like the l;ook though

apparently it is heavy, and Large, which are what i like in a mouse.

has no weight regulation, and total weight: 185Grs, braided cable, like 1.2m long, gold plated usb and all the craps.... also i may advise that during the 1st and 3rd week the mouse felt like way to heavy, slow, but fresh and cold, then i was like getting used to and now its a pleasure to use it, precise, smoth and always cold, since it has half aluminium body and some vents, i really love it, would like to try new variants of this model,
Also the carring bag it comes with its pretty interesting, useful and it does protect the mouse when traveling,


I higly recommend this mouse for all people that have larger hands or heavy mice lovers, its a master piece!

MadCatz Rat series are great too, and they feature changeable weights for better experience according the desire weight ration, experience on gaming its great!

Other options are Steel Series Rival, Mionix Naos 7000, and Razer Death Adder for large hands.

Personally I am not big on extra buttons or features, shape is everything to me.

i had that preference too, but when 2 or 3 extra buttons are well placed its great!
