found the diamondback on newegg for 40$ lol

so basically the question just is, which mouse is best for RTS? I don't even know if that's really something that can be answered, so I think I'll just buy whatever mouse looks like it'll feel best.


Salmosa's or Mini Optical's are best for RTS, they're lightweight, small and durable.

Gaming mouses are such a waste of money though lol, they're almost as bad as gaming keyboards. Would strongly STRONGLY recommend at least considering the mini optical.

If your not looking to spend more than 20-25 bucks then you might want to look into a mini optical, which I've had two in the passed but they seem to crap out after a while(sudden jerks although you never moved it) of using. The salmosa is almost identical in size and as previously stated in a post its very well made for fingerstyle grip. The con on the salmosa is its price and the mini op's con is logitech no longer produces any, so you would need to buy one off amazon or ebay and pray they have brand new ones.

it depends entirely on how u hold the mouse. the more comfortable it feels in your hand, the better and faster you will be able to play. I personally have a salmosa and its the best mouse ive ever used, i had a razer diamondback for a few years and really liked it as well, but i think the salmosa fits my hand just a bit better - i use a fingertip style grip. I tried a copperhead for a bit, which is meant for a palm grip style and it was uncomfortable as fuck - I ended up looking for another mouse instead. There is a part on the razer website that illustrates handholds and which mice are best for each type.

G5, that is all.

No. Avoid the G5 and the MX518. I have both of those mice and they are abysmally bad for rts, however, they're absolutely awesome for fps. I also have a copperhead was which decent for both genres, so I assume the krait (essentially a copperhead with less useless features and optical technology) would be ideal for you seeing as you also play fps.
It's better to burn out than to fade away
