1. Deathadder 2. Corsair M60 3. Logitech MX Revolution 4. Roccat Kova+ Have extensively used all of these mice; they're all very good.
After using 20 different mice over the last five years I've ended up using the Mionix Naos 5000. It just fits my hand like a glove, the only thing that has come close to this comfort is the Qpad 5K/OM-75, which are very similarly shaped.
Logitech Revolution. No question in my mind. The auto switching free scroll is great, not sure why they switched to a manual selection on there new alternatives. Also the shape and balance suite me perfectly. Not sure what I'll do if it dies. Whine at logitech, then try and cannibalize whats left of it and a MX performance to see what I can produce.
I agree. Plan B is this: Buy this: http://www.logitech.com/en-ca/keybo...s/devices/cordless-desktop-mx-5500-revolution Throw away the keyboard
I keep looking at that and thinking the same thing... Can't quite bring myself to do that yet though as my current one is still working. Does make me wonder if logitech would provide a new mouse if mine broke. Though also if they sell the keyboard and mouse combo why can't you just by the mouse.
If your break, and still under warranty (unless Logitech is really nice and still covers you). You will get the Performance MX. I have it at my other computer. It's OK. It feels like "MX Revolution - Light edition", or "MX Revolution SE (Sucky Edition)". Basically imagine your MX Revolution, where the: - Side wheel (I use mine to Zoom-in/out with Win7) is replaced by 2 buttons. (so you lose a button) - The center click (silver button) button is now the wheel switch system. - Pressing on the scroll wheel is now center click (yea, it was hard to get used to it). - Tilting the scroll wheel left and right, to scroll left and right, is now hard, because the scroll wheel is low in the mouse. So you feel like playing with a wheel that is only a few millimeters out. - The battery is replaced with a rechargeable AA battery (Sanyo Envelope). While they AT LEAST gives you a really good rechargeable battery, and the mosue can recharge it via a USB plug. The battery life is very short. From about 2 weeks with my MX Rev (used to be longer when the mouse was new), is now down to 3-4-5 days, based on usage. - Comfort is similar, but not as comfy as the MX Rev. The rest, is the same.
Performance MX is one of the mice I've had over the years and while it also fit my hand just right, it's WAY too heavy for my liking. Before that one I had no idea a mouse could be too heavy for gaming.
I like my Logitech VX Nano, has been going strong for a few years now. Thinking about buying a MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, any opinions on it?
Ah yes, I have the VX nano, and experience the newer replacement model. Both are great. I have the VX Nano for my laptop.
I thought about replacing my VX Nano with the new MX Anywhere, but I read that non-gaming laser mice are terrible for gaming, and that they have issues tracking at high speeds and such. I know that neither are gaming mice, but I don't have any issues with the VX Nano's optical sensor as far as it jumping around the screen and stuff. Have you tried gaming with it? I love the feel of my VX Nano, and I like the revised button layout on the MX Anywhere, and I can get a good discount on Logitech stuff through my job... Just worried about the gaming issues.
I have gamed with the VX Nano, not with the MX Anywhere, and like all laptop mouse with descent battery life that I tried, it skips. You can see the impact more as your screen resolution is higher (more mouse travel). It's not because of the DPI (VX nano is 800dpi, the MX Anywhere is 1000 DPI, and my MX Revolution is 800DPI, and that one really doesn't have any problem), it's the power saving feature. You want a desktop mouse if you want to really game on a laptop, especially gaming laptop as they usually have 1080p screen resolution.
I'm surprised only one person here has mentioned this. I think there's a bit of a stigma attached to wireless gaming mice but the Sidewinder X8 is an absolute dream. A brilliant purchase, would definitely recommend it. I find it fits my hand perfectly and the thumb buttons are beautifully placed, something that I find sorely lacking on some other mice.
That's rather fallen off the cheap-end, I believe. I'm amazed my current mouse is still even working, let alone intact. It's survived bangs, crashes, being stood on more than once. Heck. It's been through hell. I'd like to see a Razer product survive the same.
The most resilient mouse I had survived having acetone spilt over it. I knocked a bottle over with a loose cap, and didn't realise until the smell permeated into the next room. The bottom of the mouse had melted in the acetone, but it still worked fine for a couple of years. Needless to say, that was at a time when I didn't have a couple of quid to rub together, so I didn't have the option to nip into town and buy one I now store solvents and other chemicals well away from anything computer related, a similar spill now would put some much more valuable/expensive kit at risk The worst mouse I had was a wireless mouse. It only worked if I kept active. Nip out for 10 minutes and I had to reboot to reset the mouse! It'll be a while before I waste money on wireless kit again, I had already lost the receipt on day 1 so couldn't take it back for a refund It did look good though
I swap between my g9x and g700, I like the look of some of the razer stuff and would love to buy one, but none of them have a tilt wheel and that's,a game breaker for me Sent from my HTC Sensation XE with Beats Audio Z715e using Tapatalk
