Logitech MX 518 for the simple reason that out of all of the gaming mice I've tried, it feels the best in my hand.

I've tried pretty much every gaming mouse under 200 dollars. If you really care, just go to your local Fry's or whatever electronic store with a good return policy and buy/return mice until you find your favorite.

You can't go overly wrong with razer unless price is an issue.

Get an intellimouse from microsoft. They are great.
I enjoy watching more than playing.

I have to buy a new mouse just about every year i wear them out so fast, one of the pads on my G5 is partially worn away. I've gone through 2 MX 518's previously.

I bought a Logitech G3 3years ago and it still works fine. If you prefer a lightweight mouse, G3 is the way to go.

I use the Logitech MX1100. It depends on preference, it's a pretty heavy mouse compared to most but I have huge hands and it's a very comfortable fit. Just go with whatever is most comfortable for you to use I'd say, since the most important 2 buttons are left and right click anyways, any possible keybinds aside.

And I did some tests and it's more accurate than the logitech G5 I bought, so I stopped using the g5.


I hardly believe it's superior to the G5 in anyway. I'd like to see those test results and a writeup of them.


G5 and the first generation of laser mice (at least, newer ones have problems but not that severe (never ones have some accel problems but don't skip)) are actually pretty bad, they skip out at fast movements (fast movements not being that fast at all actually).

More prevailent at fps games but way superior in that regard no contest as the 1.1 doesn't actually skip until much later (it has negative accel but that is tolerable most of the time unlike skipping which obviously is never).

It's also a smaller shape, ?! imo a quality especially in rts games since one mostly uses ones fingers for navigating.

http://esreality.hexus.net/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=21

If you wan't something "solid" the wmo, ie1.1/3.0 and mx 300/500/510/518 are good bets, solid workhorses as one might say. In the end the brand doesn't matter if the mouse performs with precision (you don't need 2k dpi, you probably don't even need 200) doesn't skip, has consistent movement (at least up to a certain point you don't reach). The G5 may well do this since you hardly make it skip playing rts but if you ever move towards fps I hope you use high sens.

Just get something with a good shape and a non crap sensor.

Use whatever feels comfortable. I use a logitec mini, but I also have a salmosa... I'm used to both so it doesn't bother me. Mice won't make you better if they are uncomfortable, try to get something that has the general shape of your current mouse, small and easy to palm/grip.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

I was using a mx518. However, I was getting a lot of hand/wrist stress while playing SC2 so I switched to a Razer Absyssus (basically the new salmosa they are the same size and weigh the same). I really happy with the switch. I can definitely notice difference in weight and my hand/wrist get tired slower. However, I don't think my game play increased at all after switching mice so if that is the only reason for switching I don't think it is worth it.

One more thing to note. I hate the fact that the light on the abyssus stays on at all times(even when the computer is shut down) I wish i could go in there and just break it.

I use the same mouse and agree with this assessment, large, heavier mouse with high dpi, very accurate.

that mouse is fucking awful. i've got 3 of them and they all skip constantly in-game and suffer from absurd levels of negative accel.

shame, because the shape is fantastic. g3 - the laser version of the same shape - suffers from the same issues. :<

incidentally, as for laser mice i'm using the steelseries xai at the moment.

not only is it one of the most comfortable mice to hold in your hand, but i can fling it like a lord and there hasn't been any skipping issues or weird responses yet.

still gonna wait and see if it behaves the same way after a month or two though.

If you play low sensitivity, an optical mouse will do just perfect. I personally love the microsoft intellimouse 3.0. It is the best optical mouse I have ever used and I used a lot.

In RTS games high sensitivity is very popular and I believe this is where a good laser mouse is very useful. I have personally switched from low sens intellimouse 3.0 to high sens steelseries xai and I really love it. But if I switched back to a FPS, I would switch to low sens with my intellimouse 3.0.

I hope this helps.
