So far I like my Salmosa best. Other mice are very close though.
I used a MX518 for quite a while and still have one on my other system, but nowadays I prefer smaller mice.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.

Hey, I'm a big fan! Brown-nosing aside, do you know why that specific model is causing CTS?


Therefore, I'm now a big Kaboo fan! :D

I think it's the fact that the back of the mouse pushes into the palm just under the knuckles. This has given me SO much ache and pain buuu. I love razer a ton though. Their products are THE best gaming mouses out there as far as I'm concerned. I'm going to replace my diamondback at some point with another razer product


Its funny you say that, I've recently replaced my death adder due to causing me wrist pain, and it also puts pressure on the same area of my palm. Which is unfortunate because the mouse tracks flawlessly.

Tried replacing it with a xai, lol that thing is bad... so many technical problems I had to send it back for a refund. It has a ton of positive acceleration, the mwheelup/down randomly activate while the mouse is being used(in FPS's these tend to be auto-bound to switch weapon, which is how I noticed it), and the mouse is useless on a cloth pad, it collects lint over the laser and causes extreme tracking problems. I googled each of these problems as they came up to see if it was just a bad mouse, but alas, it seems many many people have the same exact issues with the xai. Which is unfortunate as the xai fits my hand better than any mouse I've ever used.

Replaced the xai with a Razer Imperator, research showed the mouse had a big z-axes tracking problem, but no other notable issues so I gave it a shot. First thing I did was test the z-axes problem, and it really isnt a big deal, whenever I pick up the mouse it moves like an inch to the bottom right, I don't play low sens games where this would be an issue for me. For the first two days of owning the mouse it had a bad tracking problem where if the mouse would sit and rest for a minute before being used again, it would 'wander'. As in when I go to click on a button/icon as soon as I stop moving the mouse it continued to move straight down every time about an inch. I started an RMA process when the problem just went away on its own after 2 days, I've had flawless x-y tracking since.

I've become a pretty big fan of the imperator, causes no wrist pain, tracks excellent(unless you pick it up) and it fits my hand great for both palm, and claw grip (I switch grips based on what I'm doing in game never even noticed it until people started all this mouse grip talk) I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a right handed ergonomic mouse.

Seeing that your using a mouse that you claim is causing yourself cts. Kinda contradicts the image of day9 being smart. Just saying.


he's saying that it causes him cts, and that he knows it. And thus, despite the positives of the diamondback (and razer products in general) he is going to replace it.

does that mean he's dumb? i don't think so...

I've tried :
- Logitech :
Mini Optical
Mousewhell Optical (exactly the same as G1)
MX5XX

- Razer :
Diamondback
Copperhead
Krait
Deathadder

- Microsoft :
Intellimouse (i don't remember which one, it was one of the first optical microsoft mice)


I'm a palm user. So far my favorite : mx500 (the intellimouse is a very close one too)
The Steelserie kinzu seems really really nice judging from the pic...

And finally at the very least : all of the razer mice. You read it right. I'm not a logitech or microsoft fanboy or whatever but all of the razer mice annoyed me to no end. The least annoying was the deathadder but it already broke in like 3 month. Since then i've been replacing it with the mx510.
I'm not sure if the razer's users have actually tried the others mice. Pretty surprised at the result tbh...

If I put my palm on the mx500 the tips of my fingers rests firmly on the table :/ Its too small for palm and too big for claw. I dunno...

Note the "at some point". It seems to me he has been playing with it for quite a bit of time and doesn't plan to get around to replacing it soon. Which is rather dumb. His gf even bought him a hand massager for cts.

I've had my Diamondback 3G for less than 2 Months and i am already having pains in my shoulder and neck from the weight and wrist has been hurting. I love it as a mouse and its great and all but i can't go on using it. Still haven't voted, i hated the Intellimouse, i have one and i can't even use it is so annoying. Getting an LMO in the mail next month sometime so ill vote about a week or two after i get it.

I'm disappointed that there's no option for the Razer Mamba on there. One of the best mice I've seen or used. Fits my hand perfectly and is super-responsive, even in wireless mode. But if I had to choose one from the poll, I'd go with the DeathAdder due to it being the same shape and size as the Mamba, I'd think it would be just as good.

I recently got the g9, it's not as comfortable for regular use, but it's really good for control and precision in gaming. not too big so it's good for finger tip fast movements.

I haven't found a mouse better than the Logitech MX518, though admittedly, I haven't had cause to really look over other mice. Has anyone switched from an MX518 to something comparable? Mine's on its last leg, and the only other option I see is the G5.

i use the logitech anytime ax mouse. yeah its not for gaming, it's for portable purposes (i have a laptop). but it's pretty big and the fucking awesome thing about it is that it works on ANY surface (including glass tables). darkfield laser ftw! my only qualms with it is its pathetic battery life (about 2 weeks >.> )

I bought a logitech mini optical because of the hype and it was a big disappointment. Ok this mouse fit well in my hand but its optical sensor is really bad. And it's not a question of dpi, my logitech G5 is way more precise even if I put it at 400 dpi.

Switched from a G5 to the Salmosa because of SC. No comparison for me, the salmosa wins hands down.

I definitely prefer the G5/MX518 for FPS games ex BF2BC and TF2.
