Gaming mice???

[infamouskid]

ok so my logitech lx3 just gave out and now clicks 3 times per click and some other random weird crap...

i wanted everyone's opinions on possible mice candidate replacements before i make my purchase based on users who have actually tried gaming mice.

i was looking at the razor lachesis because it was a similar shape and not too extra with all kinds of crazy button everywhere.

so yeah gamers lets hear it. what do you guys use? what is your verdict?

I recommend the Logitech G5. I've got a few in "stock" at home from back when they were $35 a piece on sale. I think it's the greatest gaming mouse ever made (it was based on the MX-510 and 518) and nowadays, Logitech made the G500 which is based on the G5.

I personally really dislike Razer mice because I find they're not comfortable. It seems that company assumes that you must have tiny hands to be comfortable with their rodents.

+1 for the G5

Not all Razer mice are tiny. I've used a Razer Diamondback and that was about the size of those classic Logitech optical mice, but the DeathAdder I have is definitely far from small. It doesn't have the round feeling of these Logitech mice, but it still fits your hand quite well.

I used a MX518 for over two years before changing to the DeathAdder, so I'm pretty used to the ergonomics of both designs.

My vote is for MX 518. I have 2 MX 518's and one G5 (using the G5 right now on this computer ). Both are great mice, BUT I have to give the edge to MX 518. Keep in mind that I am a very heavy FPS gamer (fast FPS - quake, UT, etc.).

The tracking on both is excellent. My sensitivity is set to uber high, so obviously I would know otherwise. That being said, the great thing about the 518 is that it feels lighter on the hand and easier to zing back and forth than the G5.

Also, there are reviews about how the MX518 is better than the G5 due to the infrared vs laser difference as well. Read up on that.

My vote is for the mx518. I'm still using my mx510 since wayyy back then. If you want an extra edge, add on some teflon feet and a nice pad (I use a func mousepad). Its def a matter of preference, but I always tell people, if you beat me in quake using a razor mouse, then I'll go out and buy one.

It's not infrared, it's just a regular LED. You can open it up and swap the LED to a different color if you want. I've modded a MX500 with a white LED and it looks pretty kickass. You can't mod the laser mice.

Infrared is near-invisible, like most Razer mice.

also +1 for the G5.

G500 is on sale at NCIX for 64 bucks plus free shipping, which is not bad. I'm not too sure about the performance of the mouse but it is the successor of the G5. Here's the link, there's only a couple left
