So I just got my Mastermouse S back from RMA as the right mouse button was soft and didn't have much of a tactile feeling, and 2 minutes after plugging it in I had a new problem: The middle mouse click doesn't work! The button works fine for scrolling, but I have to hold it a good 3-4 seconds before the click registers. Great, going to have to RMA this again. Unless someone else has any experience with it?

hey guys

never have used a "mmo" mouse myself - anyone can tell me if its actually good? playing a lot of wow and might be in the market for a new mouse in generel. the g502 from logitech served me really well but it kinda is "used" aka filfthy as fuck.

*rant*

i really dont like rubber on the sides of mouses - they wear out so fast

Not worth IMO, compromises on mouse design/usability (pressing thumb buttons while moving the mouse sideways? Literally impossible with fingertip grip). Left click, right click, scroll wheel click and maybe a couple extra buttons on a mouse are cool but i think it's best to have excellent keyboard habits for hotkeys rather than splitting them 50/50 between hands

I keep clean hands at PC and wipe my mouse/keyboard with a damp cloth at least a couple times a day, seems to prevent both issues

using palmish claw grip - if that is a thing.

i ve yet to have a mouse with rubber that does not wear down after ~1 1/2 years. never use damp cloth at all thou - might be an idea

*edit*

you have any advice for a mouse? i am currently watching a lot of youtube videos and it all differs.

for example - but there are so many mice - tough to choose and the local stores are really bad so going there and feeling stuff out - not an option.

budget should be "the cheaper the better but quality should not suffer" as i am also in the ballpark for a new mechanical keyboard but its tough to find one thats tkl no rgb and is not super overprized (in my book) :D - it should not have kailh switches either - really bad experience with those :<

I do that as well, and there's a rather disturbing amount of buildup around(especially under) the forward/back buttons, as well as around the middle buttons. Just a part of using a mouse for hours a day I guess

I absolutely love the CM Storm Spawn, and want to replace my old one. I cannot find it anywhere online, other than crazy overpriced amazon secondary sellers (used). Any protips on where to find one these days?

What other mice could replace the CM Spawn if I cannot find it on an online retailer site?

Cheers!

The CM Storm "Xornet II" looks like it uses plastic parts with the exact same shape as what the Spawn used. I don't know if its sensor has any weird issues or not.

The price for the mouse is great. Check it out on amazon.com. When I search right now, I get a result where it's sold by Amazon itself, no weird reseller.

If you buy the Xornet II, I think there was something about firmware versions that you might want to research before you install any software for the mouse and try to update stuff. It might be best to just use the mouse how it is without newest firmware and without any mouse software installed. If you want to research that, I probably saw that somewhere on overclock.net.

I'm still using a Spawn and I still love this mouse. Poor thing has been dropped and abused by me in ways which make me ashamed.

But it's still going strong. I had to take it apart and put some solder on the plastic that was getting worn out but it's working flawlessly to this day.

I have a Xornet II that I forgot to send back to CM Storm (my local store wouldn't refund me -;-) that was squeaky as fuck, couldn't handle playing with it so be wary. Maybe the issue has been dealt with newer versions but it's worth googling imho

I used the CM Storm Spawn, and switched to a Xornet II that I bought as a spare. I think the issue was the old spawn having driver issues with Windows 10 at the time. It has been working well for me, and the shape is probably my favorite of any mouse I've used.

ASUS sica is crazy nice. Pixart 3310 (same as steelseries rival, now 300). It's easily modified to ~74 gram range by removing the useless part of the shell and some other stuff. Good sensor, onboard memory, clicks properly (unlike the razer mice). It's so nice for RTS and windows that I bought two more. 60 bux on sale at Canada computers. It's a little pricey for a little ambi mouse but it's the first RTS type mouse that I've enjoyed using since the mx 300. I have a rival white (basically the 300), an old abyssus (sick mouse but really uncomfortable to use and also requires constant practice with the mouse) and have owned a lot of mice. I like this mouse a lot. I think running it at 250hz is correct. The sensor is spec'd for 500hz but 250 feels best. Maybe once I upgrade my monitor 500hz will seem best.

What would be a good current updated new mouse to use for Brood War mainly? I had recently purchased a new Razer DeathAdder 2013 mouse but it jumps across the screen every few minutes or so. What would be the best way to clean the optical lense or to fix the jumpiness? I tried changing it to every different port. I also have a BlackWeb mouse mat, could that be the reason since it's a Razer mouse? I found out the problem I think is the Razer Synapse program causing the pointer to jump and it may have also corrupted my volume and touch screen capabilities to my lab top. The mouse conforms to my hand really well though.

I've been thinking of changing my mouse now as my TT eSports Saphira is starting to lose the rubberized finish on it and while it still works, the mouse feet are also chewed out a bit.

Looking at my options right now, and I've narrowed down to the following:
- Logitech G402. This one has the same shape as one of the previous mice I used: the Razer Imperator 4G. Strongly considering this just because of the shape alone. I really loved that thumb contour.
- Logitech G900. It's a bit pricey and I might never use the wireless option so this might seem like a waste but I have to admit I'm intrigued about it. It also has that nice contoured side which I love.
- Steelseries Rival 300. It seems a tad bit smaller than what I'd like but it does have a good optical sensor so I'm listing it as an option.
- Steelseries Rival 700. This one seems to have way too many bells and whistles causing price inflation but it does seem like one of the mouse shapes I'm a bit more fond of.

Has anyone here used any of these? What do you think?

That mouse looks exotic, I wonder if it'll catch on. Seeing as how it takes pressure off the wrist, I might just get one for casual browsing, or wait for a better engineered version.

Appaerantly its better for your skeleton as well. A normal mice makes you turn the skeleton to an "unnatural"(thats what they call it) while a mice like above, it doesnt get turned at all.
