Mice; what do you use and why do you use it?

My rodent atm is a Rii M01 with a 3360Sensor, reason , well its like 7€uros :)
 
After using standard mice/keyboard during years my first real gaming set was a logitech G9/G15 which was really great specially the mouse. Then a couple of years ago I replaced them by a Corsair Strafe and a Corsair M65 Pro rgb. the mouse is not bad but not at the level of the G9, same for the keyboard really too noisy and not strong enough.
 
JSCO JNL-101K silent mouse. The silent click is so nice that I've refused to use anything else for years now. I recently placed an order for a half dozen of them to re-stock my supply of spares (they generally last a year or so of daily use).
 
The first real "gaming" mouse that I bought was the Logitech G400S. I used it for about a year. Not the biggest fan of the shape but my biggest gripe was the scroll wheel. It never felt comfortable to use because it's hard and sharp for both scrolling and clicking.

Then, I replaced it with a Cooler Master Storm Recon. Used that one for about 6 years or so. It is a good mouse but it's been seeing normal wear and tear and have gotten somewhat uncomfortable. I still love the mouse, especially when you consider the price (it was relatively inexpensive). Too bad CM stopped making them, or at least that's what I figured because it was somewhat impossible to find anymore.

Finally, last May or so, I decided to change to the Steelseries Rival 310 and been using that since then. The shape is fantastic but I'm not the biggest fan of the rubbery grips on the sides. They feel kinda slippery, but I have gotten used to them. Considering the price, I hope this mouse will last at least as long the the CM Storm Recon.

Roccat kova , I've been through a lot but loving this more than the razer Lachesis it replaced.

Oh and an excellent Logitech g7 wireless for ultimate quick mouse swapping on reworking PC's.
 
The black mouse on the left (Altos) is light as a feather and I bought 2 of them for 2-3$ for both brand new. The red one wireless "Click" is new. I bought it for my laptop but it just wont work (spent maybe 10$)

The red one on the left (MS) is working ok but I did not like the way it feels in the hand (spent maybe 12$), and the one on the right is my daily driver "Bloody V7M". I'm happy with it overall, only the mouse wheel will not scroll as it should (spent maybe 26$). Before these mousses I mainly used a Genius Netscroll 120 (usually 5$)

Used to have a couple of wireless mice but the battery life was so terrible that I dont want wireless anymore. Even thou I'm sure that the battery life of todays mice has improved.
 
I use the G203 because its lightweight and imo the best mouse for the price (20-25$). To me, it doesnt get better for that price. Its lightweight and has a good grip and has lasted me a long time. If you arent wanting to spend more than 20-25$ you can't go wrong with a G203. I haven't really used many other mice in a higher price range because ive been so satisfied with this one but I guess if I had to try something more expensive I would probably try something like the Model O. I tend to go for more lightweight mice since I do believe that there is a point in a lighter mouse when it comes to adjusting sensitivity and precisely aiming in games that require you to do so. I don't see myself using anything else though, i'm more than happy with this mouse and its a great price point. I think the only time I would suggest spending more on a Logitech mouse would be if you wanted wireless or more than 2 side buttons, in which case I think the G pro wireless or the G402 are the way I would recommend someone go for those options.

TLDR: In my opinion, the G203 is the best mouse you can get for 20$ and is as good to me as mice that are priced much higher, and I would buy another if this one breaks. But this is only my opinion.
 
MX Master 2....

1. Has the features I want: wireless, rechargeable, Bluetooth OR wireless, fits my hand...
2. Does what I need to it to do: quickly & precisely points where I need it..
3. Reasonably priced..

'nuff said :)

Hi,
Been using redragon perditions 16400 for the last few years love the darn things have three now
901_2 threw me off a little bit but figured out why it was wonky unlike the other 2 pure 901
I change the polling rate to 125Hz never saw an issue on 901 but the 901_2 did not like it so switched it to 500Hz default and all is well = very weird it would make so much difference.

I clean the skin oil whatever else is on them off mine with a little bit of dish soap/water, and they go back to having gripe not slippery.
 
That dragon mouse that was pictured above looks like a rip off of Razor's Naga Mouse.
 
I use the logitech m705 mouse, it fits in my hands just perfectly and dont need to change the batteries very often, maybe every few years.
 
I'm using a Razer DeathAdder Chroma because my Logitech MX518 v2 went nuts after only a couple of months of very light use. Either of these mice has the best ergonomic shape for me.
 
Razer Naga 2014 Left Handed edition. Second one I have owned. I use it because I have lost the use of my right arm.
 
Logitech G900, I have had a few logitech g models now and cant get used to a mouse without a scroll wheel clutch (switch between clicky and freewheeling)
 
I use a Logitech MX518 (the new one) because it moves my cursor around and the buttons come in handy for clicking on stuff.
 
I use a logitech M705 because it's wireless and has 3yr battery life and a scroll wheel clutch in addition to 2 thumb buttons. I customized the left and right mouse buttons by filing down the gap between them, if you're button heavy while using left and right click they bind together but otherwise it's good, has survived a few falls on the floor and is responsive enough for fps gaming. I also have a usb G502 hero on my desk which is a great mouse.
