Plenty of great mice to choose from when a person finally realizes that Logitech isn't the end-all like so many in FP who always rave about the MX518/G400/G5/G500/etc. (not saying you were one of these people, but FP does tend to have them.
Things to consider when looking for a new mouse would be your grip type and how badly you need side-buttons for gaming (there are way too many people who think they need those side-buttons so badly when in reality they could easily use a keyboard key in the game. Yeah going forward/backward in a browser can be useful, but you can use the Smooth Gestures app for Chrome if you want that functionality without sidebuttons). After you know those things, just pick from the top-selected mice that we've been going over for 6 pages, those generally being the WMO, IMO 1.1, IME 3.0, Abyssus, Deathadder, and G400 (yeah I poked fun at Logitech but the G400 is the best mouse they offer in my opinion, although I don't like the ergonomics).

I went from a G5 to a 3.5G deathadder. The deathadder is better in every way, especially the sensor and how responsive it feels. There's no in-game adjustable dpi, but you can assign a button to 'on-the-fly sensitivity' which should accomplish the same thing. You'll have to give up the one of the buttons though.....
-
only thing I'm missing from g5 to da is on the fly dpi switching
forced to use 450 dpi in everything because there's no way I'm using anything higher for desktop use
-
whats a good upgrade from the g400
-
I changed to the g700 personally, its nice to have extra keyboard room, and it's wider and smoother IMHO, but that's just me
macro's are very very useful, I suggest getting a speed adjustable mouse with macros, Logitech is best imo
-
Sidewinder X8 MMB is broken and the replacement warranty has expired :( can anyone recommend me a new mouse for gaming? I'm in the UK and I'd like to spend around £30 as I'm pretty tight for money, can use eBay as well. I'd like it to have a couple of side buttons as well if that's possible as that's what I'm used to. Cheers!
-
Have a look at the Razer Deathadder,Logitech Mx518 or Steelseries Kana. I think there is a couple new version of the Mx518 such as the g400 or something close.
-
I got the Sharkoon Black Fireglider.
Its great, only £20 ish. Has a dedicated macro button, which you can make custom macros with on the software that comes with it, it has variable dpi from 600 to 3600, and the 2 side buttons. I think its great for the price.
-
If you really want side-buttons, I'd recommend the Razer Deathadder, Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, or the Logitech G400 (I'd pick Deathadder or IME 3.0 over the G400 though).
If you decide that you can go without side-buttons, I'd recommend the Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical or the Razer Abyssus. If you go for Abyssus though, you need to make sure you have the right mousepad to avoid jittering.
-
I looked at the Corsair M90 at Frys today. What do you guys think of it? I like how the extra buttons are set up, but I'm not sure if I could find a use for all of them. I feel like I could use more than my G5, but not as much as it has.
-
Hey guys, I need help deciding between two mice.

and...

Which one should I get, and why? Thanks.
-
Links are bad.
-
Would questions about mouse mats go in here or not?
If they do, what would you guys recommend for a medium sided gaming surface, my old facepunch mouse mat is going all grimy on me.
-
qck
-
Seems perfect for me, just ordered one of them from amazon. Thanks for the advice.
-
What's a good upgrade from the deathadder? I think mine may be on its way out
-
There is no upgrade from the deathadder IMO. Buy another one or if you are sick of it maybe a g400.
-
Logitech G400/G500.

I need a new mouse, I currently have a sidewinder x8 and I LOVE it but I hate the fucking battery dying all the time and the cord falls off sometimes which is a pain in the ass. So I want a new mouse and I'm not getting anything wireless this time, I would like side buttons and up to 4000 DPI just like the X8 but I have no idea what to get. My budget is $100, Also DPI on the fly buttons would be nice along with side buttons.
Edited:
Also another reason for not wanting wireless is this, LAN parties. Shit can get jacked REALLY easily at LAN Parties, especially public ones like Quakecon.
-
See my post above yours.
G500 fills all your requirements and is fucking awesome.
-
It looks awesome and gets some pretty nice reviews, But I do have a question about the R.A.T 7. Is it a good mouse and is it comfortable? Or should I just stick with the G500?
Edited:
Oh and what about the g700?
-
I've always been of the opinion that the RAT series is gimmicky crap but I've never used one, I just think they look like shit.
G700 has about the same features as the G500 with the exception of being wired or wireless. Basically it has a battery and a plug in it so you can choose if you wanna roll wireless or wired.
IMHO the G700 is a massive gimmick and I'd stay away from it. G500 has all the features you requested, has a great puclic opinion and is pretty cheap.
Get the G500, you won't be sorry.
-
Will do then, also I just realized the g700 is wireless which is what I don't want lol.
-
g500 is a bad mouse
get a sensei
-
G500 has had tracking issues depending on what batch you got.
I have a RAT3, a Deathadder and a G500 (along various other crap ones) and I prefer the RAT3 as I tend to use a fingertip grip for FPS games.
Edited:
Both G500 and DA are too heavy to use effectively in fingertip grip.
-
i use fingertip grip on da, it's one of the lightest mice that isn't shit
don't even put g500 and da weight in the same sentence
-
Yeah being able to easily unplug your mouse from your desktop and use it wirelessly with your laptop sure is a gimmick
-
It isn't gimmicky at all and the wireless is A grade not a problem at all. Only thing is it's a bit small for my hand but so is the g500. I have big hands.
-
So much logitech in this thread.
-
So wait, do I get the G500 or the sensei... I'm not a hardcore gamer or anything, all I want is a mouse as smooth as butter with my 2 side buttons and DPI on the fly buttons. Thats about all.
-
People complaining about the tracking issues of the g500 need to shut up, as far as I'm aware that was fixed a long time ago. I can't speak for the sensei since I haven't ever used one but I can speak for the G500 and it's amazing. Not saying the sensei isn't amazing but if they both meet your requirements then get the cheaper one/the one you think looks best.
Odellus is a massive troll and somewhat of a dick btw, don't listen to him.
-
I knew he was a dick wasnt sure about the troll part.
-
G500 has bad built quality on top of sensor not being great on cloth. I think it's much wiser to get a G400 than a G500. I don't know much about the sensei but if it has the same sensor as the xai it won't be great on cloth either.
-
How is the build quality bad and how does it not work well on cloth?
I'm using mine on a steelseries qck and it works great.
-
I've had two. The first one got a loose sensor after a few hours and it rattles like a box of chocolates. Second one worked longer but it still felt like a rattling brick. Even though I always liked a heavy mouse. The deathadder and xai are lighter but just feel much more solid.
I have the qck too. If you haven't tried other mice you will probably not notice that the g500 has acceleration and just isn't very precise on the qck. Compared to the deathadder though it's easy to notice the g500 is inferior.
-
Do i get the death adder or the freaking g500, also which one would be better for bigger hands?
-
I have humongous hands and I have a Deathadder. It's perfectly fine.
-
Well I'd recommend the deathadder but you wanted on the fly dpi buttons. The DA doesn't have those. But you could assign for instance middle mouse wheel button to on the fly sensitivity switching. Both the g500 and da are good for big hands, I got pretty big hands too. Wouldn't get the sensei if you want a mouse for big hands.
If you don't mind the issues I mentioned about the g500 above go ahead and get one, many people seem happy with it but I would never recommend one. You could also check some reviews about the g400, I bet it's better than the g500.
-
Get the Deathadder. It's been too long that Facepunch has had a Logitech bias (as I once did), it's time we made progress.
-
I set up a poll in H&S, I'll give it 8 days and facepunch will basically choose for me.
