Mouse choice

Post by **Cynyx** » Mon Nov 20, 2006 1:47 pm

I know i have a bad mouse to play to fast game like FPS, like the nervous HL2. I have Logitech MX1000 mouse. Wireless, Lazer and 800 dpi : all bad things...

I have decided to buy a new mouse today !

I'm hesitating between two mouse :
- Logitech MX 518
- Razer Diamondback

I think i will buy the logitech because his design is near mine currently mouse. But i know Razer Diamondback seems better in pure performance.

And you, what mouse have you ?

(I know Reign has a 6 euros cheaper mouse lol)

lol, my mouse also costs about 5-6 euros

Lol.. Genius Netscrol+Traveller 400 DPI/PS2, black and nice:).. and cheap.. 5-7euros:).... Plus a black laptop layout USB keyboard - works fine for me:).. I have never seen a point in spending more than 10 - 15 $ on a mouse.. and you dont need more than 400dpi for games:)..

Currently, i use a logitech G5. I have nearly nothing to say against it. It is a lazer mouse with a resolution of 2000 dpi, you can predefine 5 steps on the mouse to change the sensibility directly on the mouse, by example to be more precise on camping places... (never used this button, except when another person want to use my computer, because it is too sensible for them under windows), and work also on glas tables.... Not very usefull in most of the cases

There is also a sed of weights in order to change the total weight of your mouse. ( A gadget

)

The only drawbacks of this mouse : missing one second button for the thumb... (a previous button is there (i use it to catch the grav-gun)
Oh, another drawbacks: it's price, more than 50 â‚¬ i think. I replace my simple optical microsoft with this one, and the difference is very big... (mainly that the logitech is well seated in your hand)

But it is my first uncheap mouse, so i don't know the other ones...

i use some micrsoft i bought form a shpo, its like 5euro? very small... but optical... =D

I have buy my MX1000 70 euros... price is not a problem lol.
I just want a good wired mouse.
But you are right ... Logitech makes BIG mouse... usefull for my hand...
I'm scarry about the little Razer.

Callahan is a Logitech M-S48 Owner!

But the Logitech MX 518 shown like the best at the time.

But the best Pro Gamer like Fatal1ty use Razor Stuff.

Reign, are you good at anything in real life?.. how old are you, anyway?..

Some years ago, i have a mouse with the same design. I'm not sure it was a M-S48, because very old.

i prefer MX518 which i also use. Razor has not cool side buttons and also Windows has some problems at startup with the drivers of Razor sometimes. Take the Logitech one, thats a better choice.

Post by **Cynyx** » Sun Dec 10, 2006 4:47 pm

it's done... i have the MX518 now.

Sorry to be late lol, i'be just seen this forum today

You've ever buy your mouse, but i give my opinion

I've buy a diamondback 2 month ago, and it's an very agressive mouse, with 7 buttons, but it's very difficult for a "right hand man" to suceed in play with the 2 buttons on the left.
Others buttons are very good, link is not very big, little mouse to be dominate ...

And not any problem for boot, or drivers...

Post by **KIO** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:14 pm

Do you like your MX518, Cynyx?.. because I ordered one today:)))..
Im gonna have it by the end of this week. Because I started to hate my mouse a looooong time ago, because the WHEEL DOES NOT WORK porperly:)..
Tell me whether it is worth 27 pounds I have payed for it, please..

Post by **Cynyx** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:19 pm

I love this mouse.
paid 59 euros if i remember.

just one prob for me : driver seems crash sometimes...

and since one week : right button seems to begin to have trouble. Mouse seems e little dirty. i need to clean it.

but very good mouse.

Im between:

Logi MX518
Logi G5
Razer Copperhead
Cyber Snipa Intteliscope http://www.cybersnipa.com/us/products/i ... _mouse.php

or..

Logitech MX Revolution [wireless cz its more easy to take it away from desk so i can study]

Post by **KIO** » Sat Mar 17, 2007 9:37 pm

Hmmmm.. driver.. no driver mouse is better from this point of view...

wireless is bas for HL2 trust me.

Maxut · Post by **Maxut** » Sun Mar 18, 2007 4:55 pm

I have charging problem with my MX1000 thats why im changing [battery is going to die after 2 years use]

I know its bad for hl2dm - battery finishes quicker

but anyways, wireless is my last choice

Now advice me on the others lol :P. im thinking about the Cyber Snipa [its much cheaper than others, and has very similar laser engine to the G5]
