I am looking into getting a new gaming mouse. I use a wireless logitech that is great except for the fact it is wireless (it is a similar model to the Logitech G500). I am looking for something around the $40-$75 range. I really enjoy having more than 2 buttons + scroll wheel. I am trying to make myself use the claw-grip when gaming.

Here are my thoughts so far:
Razer DeathAdder
Logitech G500
Razer Imperator

Thank you for any advice I appreciate it!

Any mouse you could recommend that doesn't need to have drivers installed and yet retains its settings or is there even such a thing? I know some have presets that you can switch and store their settings but not sure whether they actually need their drivers installed or not.
You can reach the rainbow. I'll be there to help.

You like big mouse?

take this also in consideration:
MX518 not shabby mouse, wont piss you off if it doesnt work, cause its ridiculously cheap, like i got mines after mail in rebate for 22 dollars with shipping
If you like small mice:
Razer Abyssus

Go ahead and browse around, you dont really need a super high end model like the Imperator, a DeathAdder will prob do just fine

have the imperator. its a amazing mouse in pretty much evry aspect. free dpi settings up to 5600, macros, perfect number of buttons,thumbbuttons customizable, the best mousewheel ever etc.

but 2 things:

-the z axis issue. might wanna read up on that. its much less bad then it sounds , i dont notice it at all. but if youre into lowsens fps then it might be a problem.


-depending on your hand size it might be a bit awkard for a claw grip. its nice for fingertip, for a "halfpalm" with bigger hands and palm with normal -smaller hands. for claw grip i dunno.. def feel it before you buy.

/edit deathadder cant go wrong with. prize is low and the quality is high. if you dont need fancy stuff its always a solid choice.

logitech g500 i never touched. but i had a mx500 for 7 years and if its just half as sturdy then it should be nice too ~

Thank you all for the input. I think I am going with the Razer DeathAdder.

Now I have a second question. At MLG dallas, they used mouse-cord guides. The only one I could find is a Razer Armadillo. Are there any other mouse guides on the market that you would recommend?

Again, I really appreciate the help! TL community is awesome.

^ Can't you just cable tie part of the mouse coard? Why don't you just get a mouse bungee instead? It seems pretty ridiculous to get that when just setting it under a book or something would work. Yes, I understand nice things are nice, but do you really need one? Wouldn't going cordless or getting a mouse bungee do the same thing, better?

Most of the competetive CS players I had played with over the years all just used a piece of tape at the edge of their desk, allowing enough cord for movement without the cord getting in the way. Hipster nerds use a mouse $5 mouse bungee now.

Haha I feel ashamed at being called a hipster nerd I just have an odd desk shape. I understand the "rest it on a book" argument but unfortunately I don't have that much space. I think I found what I am looking for though, I didn't know they were called mouse bungees which is probably why I couldn't find any earlier. I will experiment with the tape or loops before I buy though thank you for those suggestions.

Anyone have any experience or know how good the Zowie EC1 is?
Here's the page on Newegg.com:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826876006

I'm trying to decide between this and the MX 518.

Ooh, EC1 has rubberized top, a bit more DPI, small lift off distance, and is like 15 bucks more. i dont see why the wheel matters, but i dunno, its based on personal prefrence. i would say, maybe EC1 but if you wanna spend less then MX518 its a freaking tank.

It's soo good.. really!
The build quality seems good(feels solid), and it's light. It has basically the same shape as the ms intellimouse 3.0, but a better sensor, and a better scroll wheel. No drivers needed, dpi button is underneath so you don't change it by accident. I can do nothing but recommend it

I've used the Razer Black Mamba for almost a year now, and it feels so beautiful in my hands, I will never go to another mouse. When this one dies, I will simply buy another Mamba ^_^

I have a EC1 right now, it's awesome for FPS-games but i feel that it's to big for SC2. Im going to buy Zowies new RTS-mouse Mico which players from Startale have helped developed.

Eh, 28 bucks plus 9 for S&H. Not really jumping up and down for it.

Honestly I'm actually tryen to get that exact mouse because my $10 mouse is starting to fail a bit (after about 2 years lol). Just its hard for me to get a mouse over that $20 range.

Cheapest I found anywhere was Newegg with free shipping. Don't suppose anyone knows a place that might be cheaper?

new razer 4G sensor comes with 2 seonsors a optical and a laser sensor
optical for good tracking and low lift up distance and the laser for precision lot of dpi and for all mousepads they come in 2 mouses soon the razer mamba4g and imperator 4g and more followed up of course

why lot of pros use small mouses like kinzu abbysus salmosa logitechg1? is it because its lighter to move so you be faster??

Yes. But it's mainly because most of 'em use the claw grip.

the pros use the mouse that fits best on theyr hand grip.
i can come here and list of 10 mices u NEED to buy and why, but u can buy all those and doesnt feel natural and say all they suck and i dont understand anything about mices.
so i will say to anyone that probally want's a new mouse. is not because it has 10928319028319028301928319028 dpi that it is good, is not because it has 12983190283 macro buttons that it is good.
any mice with 400 dpi and usb plug can be "good"
u need a mouse that doesnt skip on the tracker (ALMOST any mice since 2006 has this tecnology), that is not too heavy or too low on weight (there are some mices u can adjust it), MOST IMPORTANT u need a mouse that feels good on ur hand when holding it.
i use a SS kinzu, this is the best mouse i ever used (only didnt tested the zowie ones), because it feels like he belong in my hands. but my roommate hates it and prefer a Razor DA for the exact same reasons.
mices are really a question of testing and geting the one u feel most confortable with. people can use a $5 dell mice and say it the best mouse ever.....
