Logitech G5 Logitech G9 Logitech Mini Optical Razer Abyssus (newly revised Salmosa) Logitech Mini Optical wins for me by a large margin. The G9 is a terrible mouse ergonomically speaking so I won't even get into that - basically instant CTS. G5 is good for palm grips but I find that less than ideal for RTS, but is your comfortable everyday mouse. It comes down to the Abyssus and the LMO for RTS games, and while the Abyssus does have better DPI and theoretically better tracking, the buttons are louder than the LMO, the feet are much noisier on my Razer Exactpad (quite ironic, isn't it?), and I hate the extremely slippery sides of the mouse (what was Razer thinking?!). The LMO has nice quiet buttons, tracks well on my pad, and I can grip onto it without any issues. High DPI is completely useless for RTS games, anyways. You can't beat the price of an LMO, though they're being discontinued, which is quite a pity. On the other hand, I do prefer the overall shape of the Abyssus over the LMO by a bit. LMO all the way for this fingertip grip user - just too many gripes about the Abyssus. Originally I was happy with my G5 for Starcraft, but I didn't know what I was missing until I tried the LMO. I would love the try the G1 or G3 if I can get my hands on it, but I doubt they will be better. | ||

Razer products are so overated and overpriced, it's a real joke. I hate the whole publicity about ''You wanna be PRO at video games? Then you NEED our products!'' Then of course all the rich newb kids ask their parents a Razer mouse and keyboard for Christmas just so they can get owned on SC by some korean kid who plays in a PC Bang with the shittiest equipment ever. | ||

And when it comes down to it, I find SteelSeries' products more appealing then Razer or any other company. | ||

Yup, for example abyssus has quite good shape. I had problems with my wrist before and I'm just amazed how it hurts so much less after I got abyssus. I have small hand and use fingertip grip, that's probably important. | ||

I bought the wireless Logitech Performance Moue MX. It's really good, and the wireless is so good that there's absolutely no difference with wired mouses. I surely recommend getting one. | ||

I will need a scientific examination of one of those before I ever try one again. The ones I've seen are really heavy too :/ | ||

Too bad the MX300 along with the MX500 (The best optical sensors of all time, the MX's.) are not made anymore. | ||

 I've had a number of mx series Logitech's and they always have a short life expectancy, but I do like them. I don't like the G series mice either (I have used the G5 and another one in the past). | ||

Mx518 is probably the most common mouse, doesn't mean it's the best. I've had the Mx500, 510, and 518 (all very much the same), and I never liked any of them. Too big and bulky. The side buttons and shape is nice for standard browsing but for gaming it sucks. http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=82573 I have used many mice. I have large hands. I use fingertip grip mostly. I prefer smaller/light mouse. My Ranking: Razer Viper: ![[image loading]](http://www.tomshardware.pl/game/20040317/images/viper1.jpg) Best gaming mouse I've had so far. Opti 1000dpi, Very light, Smooth struts on bottom, narrow & not heavy, and no extra bullshit buttons. I don't really like the rubbery grip clear line across the side but I don't really touch it anyways. Logitech MX300: ![[image loading]](http://img.epinions.com/images/opti/c9/40/667670-elec_lg-resized200.jpg) Oldschool mouse, opti 600 or 800 dpi (cant remember), light when you remove the weight, same as above but slightly wider. Logitech G3: ![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41K9HAS42GL.jpg) Laser 2000 dpi, same look as 300 but heavier and has extra buttons for web browsing. Great mouse for browsing and still pretty good for gaming. Logitech MX310: ![[image loading]](http://www.e-misija.si/slike/mis-logi-mx310.jpg) Opti 800 dpi, used this mouse for years (had 2), pretty solid, never really liked the ergonomic shape but its pretty similar to the MX300 but slightly heavier (I think you can remove weight) and side buttons. Great for browsing and pretty ok for gaming. Logitech MX500 & 510 & 518: ![[image loading]](http://images.techtree.com/ttimages/story/logitech-mx510.jpg) Opti 800dpi, used these mice for a long time, All pretty much the same, never liked the bulkiness or shape, heaviest of all these (even with weight removed), has side buttons for browsing. Good mouse for browsing not so good for gaming imo. PS- the only difference I found between these are the colors.. And of course I've gone through lots of cheapy opti mouse in the downtime between other mice. If you must go with one of these the best one I had was something like 'A4 tech' and it was grey kinda slender/long and light opti mouse with 800dpi I think. Pretty light weight as well. looks kinda like this: ![[image loading]](http://di1.shopping.com/images/pi/af/11/59/36546559-100x100-0-0.jpg) PS- I currently have G3 and Viper plugged in simultaneously and I switch between them for gaming/browsing. The G3 has much higher sensitivity. PPS- If you use my mouse button fixing guide/blog the MX300 is the hardest to fix. And I haven't tried opening the Viper or G3 yet to check for weights because the screws are under the struts (but I think they don't have any anyways). also to note, I dunno if it was a driver thing but I since changed my mind and used the g3 for gaming and never looked back. (although the left button did just malfunction yesterday, logitech has like 5 year warranty and I'm gonna get a replacement for free, no shipping or anything) | ||
