Peripherals Got my new mouse- FAIL recommend me a new one...

Well the title says it all really ordered the rat 7 and the tracking on it is horrific!
nothing like what my previous rat 3 experience...

I believe it is something to do with some twin eye sensor :/

so yeah very disappointed

So the question is what sort of a mouse do you guys recommend?

I need pin point accuracy as I am a multimedia designer..
I play fps ALOT...
And of course decent build quality...

I know this seems like a lot to ask, but at this point I am willing to pay what ever it takes to get my hands on a decent mouse.

thanks guys.

BTW changing your surface will fix the tracking issues 9 times out of 10.

Anyhow, for FPS you want optical and a perfect shape. I assume you use a nice palm grip? Best FPS mouse I have used is undoubtedly the Zowie EC series (I've tried a lot) the shape is spot on, with all the features required present and correct. EC2 for smaller hands, EC1 is larger (Deathadder/IE sized).

Otherwise, people here will recommend Logitech, and with good reason I believe. The G400 is cheap in build quality compared to some, but does the job well if the shape fits your hand. The G700 is wireless but quite heavy too.

If you want Razer, I wouldn't recommend anything except the Deathadder.

Steelseries mice are wonderful in build quality but the low-front-end shape is more suited to RTS and precision uses over FPS (in general) but it's not that big of an issue.

Anyhow, I have a few spare mice I want to sell off nowadays: Roccat Kone(+), Zowie EC1, Steelseries Ikari, and Steelseries Kana if any of that may interest you. All of them track perfectly and are fine optical FPS mice.

 

My wife uses a Logitech G9, and she swears by it. She has very small hands though, and when I use it, I feel it's too low to the desk surface and I find it fatiguing after a while.

I use a G5, and for large hands, it's unbeatable. The G5 is discontinued of course, but the G400 and G500 are exactly the same shape.

One of those two will be what replaces my G5 when it dies.

 

I'm using the Logitech G500 and it's a very nice mouse; reasonably priced too.

 

Mionix Naos 3000 or a 5000 if you can find one.

I have two I can recommend, corsairs mouse (cant recall the name as its at home) but it feels solid, heavy ish, gets some stick and feels quality
and a Saitek GM 3200 (trusty solid and had taken a beating)

 

Second that, good tracking adjustable on fly DPI and extra weights very comfortable. and Banging Pricing

 

I have just started using a mionix saiph... truly fantastic mouse

G9X - absolutely great mouse!

 

Corsair M60 I think. I really want one as the build quality is perfect and its the only mouse to have a Alu chassis. The only think I don't like about it is the blue lighting, so I'll be modding mine...

 

Trackball and Tablet?

 

No it isn't. R.A.T mice all do as well. I'm not convinced that's an advantage anyway. Logitech mice always feel great, and very well made, and they're only plastic. Having to add aluminium in there for a normal shaped mouse seems like they're not confident in their plastics.

To OP: Mionix Naos 5000...

 

Its because you can balance a metal, you can't balance a plastic body as easily.

 

Go with Hamza's suggestion and try changing the surface you're using first.

 

I also have one of these and I agree, a really great mouse.

 

Nobody has mentioned the MX518 yet, shame on all of you!

 

It's been replaced by the G400 - same body, better internals.

Personally I'll +1 on the G400 or G500, but I am a bot of a Logitech mouse fan

 

I don't really notice the blue light, too busy shouting at the injustice of being killed in numerous games.. lots

 

Which I am also currently using and the best mouse I have ever used for comfort, glide etc etc.

 

G700 I replaced my crap RAT7 with one.
