Yup, need a new mouse. For games, of course. Have heard that gamers should prolly stay away from cordless. I don't need a cordless for anything so I can go either way. Some people swear by the Razor mice, others like the Logitechs. I'm right handed so I have no issues that might push me toward certain mice. I've heard things about the Razor Diamondback or whatever.....the Logitech MX518, G5, G7, etc. Any opinions on good mice? _______________ - Threat Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Rivian, AKA Chaos Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Phantom Owner of Grycen's 180th comment, Raydoe's 455th comment, and Rivian's EVIL 666th comment! |

Lol. That doesn't look very good for gaming. Anyway, based on JA advice, I think I've narrowed it to the G5, MX518, or that Razor one. I'm a little disappointed that the new mice dun have the MOUSE4 and MOUSE5 on the left and right side of the mouse. My optical intellimouse that I have used is like that and I'm soooo used to it. I guess I'll have to adapt, no?  Anyway, thanks for all the input. I think people these days don't take enough advice from people that have "been there and done that". I try not to be so hard headed in my old age.  _______________ - Threat Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Rivian, AKA Chaos Ex-Unofficial Padawan of Phantom Owner of Grycen's 180th comment, Raydoe's 455th comment, and Rivian's EVIL 666th comment!

Click Here They are brilliant. I don't use the wireless keyboard though, can't stand them. But the mouse is legendary. No need for batteries, all you need is the charger (Just don't forget to charge it during the night/day when you're not using it ) _______________ - Even if Carlsberg made "w*nkers", Christiano Ronaldo would still be the biggest "w*nker" in the world |

Yeah go the G5, I'm using that with a cyber snipa mouse pad which is an awesome setup, great for FPS's. Highly recomend both.  _______________ *CLICKEH->Never risk the Fett Man|*Download my Saber here.

In case you didn't know cordless mice are slow and jerky unreliable pieces of poo that just don't hold out in long gaming sessions. You can look up for example and then wait a few seconds before you get a response. Its horrible. Plus cordless mice can go on a random trek when they fall of your desk.. hard to find as well if you have kids or little siblings. _______________ -Padawan of Virtue -Brother of Menaxia, *|irael, Krynn Adept, Majno, Ris Win Juljul, DaMi3N, Beowulf, Dash Starlight, Carrock and Yuken Zalak Bartender at Munes bar.

Razer Diamondback? PSH. Razer copperhead has 600 more DPI than razer diamondback. (2000 DPI. Best mouse available.)

I currently use a Logitech MX518 on a Razor ExactMat*, but have been very impressed by the Razor Diamondback. * The ExactMat is the BOMB. It's got a wrist rest that uses memory foam, and has 2 surfaces for the type of traction you prefer. I keep mine on the speed side and can do 720deg jumps in JA no problem w/o having to adjust yaw speed or any other game settings. _______________ My car is made of Nerf. |

I use the g5. I didn't like the razor because its too small for me. Plus, if you play fps', the g5 has on the fly sensitivity adjustment, which is INSTANTANIOUS, which proves to be very useful depending on your range to target. Add to that the customized weight insert, that lets you make the mouse as heavy or light as you want it to be, and it's kind of a no brainer, unless your left handed, in which case the g5 is not for you. _______________ I know whats been troubling you...... |

I currently have and have been using the 'Razor Diamonback Magma' which LOOKS great and plays well and topping that, is a lazer mouse with 1600dpi . Ive tried the Logitech G5 and ive got to say....GO WITH THAT!!!! It blows the Razor away for a 6! Its comfortable, quick, well presented and is just so customable! The razor has 4 programmable buttons on the side which is not as much as the Logitech MX518/G5, but the software is NOT easy to use at all to go with it unlike the Logitech G5 which is simple to set up, customise and use! I highly recommend the G5 and i am certainly going to buy one myself now... Hope this is of any help to you Dave (C'au Onasi)  |

I'd go with Logitech. As long as it's lazer and not cordless, whatever you think looks cool and feels comfortable. _______________ Top ten reasons to get a better computer...|My fan |
