MX518 is my first optical mouse, been using it since then. I thought it wasnt comfortable for playing Starcraft though :/

For FPS its hands on the most comfortable one yet. Its still relatively expensive these days, the price has changed.

I'm afraid its buttons are quite high off the ground and it looks larger than the salmosa. Is that true? I have really small hands

I've been using the Logitech VX nano for the past ~2 years and its very small but unfortunately it broke

Hmm now that I think about it my grip is more of a finger-tip style, I dont even touch my palm with the back of the mouse

I have both mice and they are the same size. I also have relatively small hands and use finger-tip grip.

This poll is more like what mouse do you have.

Well if we dont favor the mouse, why purchase it in the first place? I like the MX518, purchased it twice, that counts as a preference.

I just picked up an MX518 as a present to myself for getting this far into the beta with an $8 notebook mouse on my laptop!!! It's pretty cool, but I'm not used ot how sensitive it is yet! Will vote when I feel confident I Love it!

I use the Salmosa because it's really light and I hate side buttons.

i really doubt anyone here is in the position to say "X mouse is best of the choices given" as I doubt anyone has used more than 2 or 3 of them lol. youre just going to see which is the most popular, which doesnt really mean anything.

Mx518 and MX310 are the best mice for gaming as a study has shown. But the shape and weight also plays a factor in a good mouse that the study didn't take into consideration.

I've always hated most Razer mice so much because of the shape of them. They almost always feel so awkward in my hand. ;(

I have a Logitech G5 right now, and I really love it, but I'm sure there are even better mice than that so I don't really feel like I could judge what the "best" mouse is.

I think the MX518 would be too heavy for RTS in general. Though for precise clicking and movement its a fine product.

I found the Razer Imperator perfect for RTS gaming. The G9 is incredibly good too. Both of them work well with large hands. :D

For SCBW and unless you have gorilla hands logitech mini is by far the best mouse there is. No wonder 80% of the pros use this mouse. I used it for about 6 years and it kicks ass, very reliable too.

For SC2 and if you have big hands a good pick would be the G3. Too bad Logitech is now all about fancy looking "gaming" mice and cordless stuff. Mini is a bit outdated for bigger screen resolution.

A nice alternative would be Logitech RX250 (mx 300/G3 shaped) which is really unexpensive and has a very decent 1000 dpi.

Forgot to mention I tried Razer Krait once which is supposedly a RTS mouse and I really really disliked it. It is sensitive but in a very weird way and the shape isn't comfortable at all imho (way too long).

I like my Razer Krait (not on the list) but tbh all Razer mice are pretty much the same thing.

I don't like gaming mouses cause my hand's are too small and i use a weird hybrid palm/fingertip grip. I prefer mini optical mouses like the logitech, and the one i'm using right now is an A4 optical, which fits my gaming grip really well. It's small, simple, quick, and good. D
