, and having the big mouse pad is great! Though it's a little expensive...Stellseries Kinzu is supposed to be awesome too, go for that one if you don't wanna shell out cash for the laser mouse (Xai).

![[image loading]](http://www.pahing.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/razer-imperator-02.jpg) on sale for 60 bucks from Amazon. Had a $50 gift card from christmas I forgot about so it was pretty awesome. I'm liking it a lot so far the grip fits me perfect. I haven't been able to utilize the 5600 dpi though, its much too sensitive for me  | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.overclockers.co.uk/pimg/KB-000-QP_34565_400.jpg) I did not like this mouse at first, but its grown on me. The mouse molds like clay into my hand. It lacks shitty accel. Buttons feels supergood and are positioned well. Only thing I dislike about it is the mediocre scroll. | ||

![[image loading]](http://img703.imageshack.us/img703/7554/razersalmosa.jpg) Recently, however, the left mouse button partially broke because a speaker fell on the mouse and so I started looking for an alternative. I was also beginning to miss the side buttons for the thumb for other games besides SC and for some programs. Finding a new mouse was much harder than I thought. I was so used to the Salmosa that I totally forgot how huge and clumsy my previous mouse (MX510) and most other mice felt. I compared reviews of pretty much all current gaming mice and tried most of them at a local retailer. Most Logitech mice are too large and too heavy (MX518, G500), forcing a certain position upon the hand instead of being easily controllable. Alone the G9x was interesting, but the thumb buttons' position and the high price are large cons. From the other Razer mice, the Abyssus and the Imperator seemed good. Abyssus is very similar to the Salmosa, the Imperator has a very low weigth as well despite all it's functions. All other Razer mice were either too heavy (Orochi, Deathadder) or too expensive (Mamba). The Imperator isn't cheap either, though. Roccat has some decent mice. The Kone, though, is similar in size and weigth to Logitech mice and was a no go. The Pyra (corded) is pretty cool, but I'm not sure if I could get used to such a small mouse and I don't want to spend 40€ finding out. The Roccat Kova seemed best both in size, weigth and features, but sadly I couldn't try one at my retailer and it's getting pretty bad reviews regarding technical issues. I tried some other mice (Microsoft Sidewinder, too large; Cyborg R.A.T. 7, too fancy and expensive) and in the end it boiled down to three possible alternatives to my Salmosa: - Razer Imperator. Cool features, low weigth, but high price ![[image loading]](http://img130.imageshack.us/img130/5592/razerimperator1.jpg) - Roccat Kova. Bad reviews, but interesting design and right size / weigth ![[image loading]](http://img217.imageshack.us/img217/2649/roccatkovabig1260807088.jpg) - Roccat Pyra. Very nice handling, but unsure if a laptop mouse is the right thing for me ![[image loading]](http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/6600/roccatpyra1.jpg) After some thinking, I finally decided on a mouse. I present to you my new mouse: + Show Spoiler + A Razer Salmosa. There is no alternative. Best gaming mouse ever. | ||

![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/JmMVR.jpg) I got this SideWinder X5 for like $25 Canadian and it provides my basic needs such as a back and forward button and on the fly dpi switching. I also like the grip, overall I am very happy with it. | ||

The Salmosa is out of stock almost everywhere and not commonly known. I happened to find a vendor on Amazon that sold brand new mice with slightly damaged packaging for 20€, compared to the 30-35€ I'd have paid for the Abyssus - The general feel of the mouse. I tried the Abyssus and while it's lightweigth and sleek just as the Salmosa, it has a more "rounded" shape compared to the "flat" shape of the Salmosa. - The Abyssus' mouse buttons are curved at the sides, partially keeping the fingers in a certain position, while the Salmosa only has a slight dent in front for the fingertips, thus providing complete freedom as to the position of the fingers But those are all just details. I had the Abyssus in my hand at the retailer's and was like "Size and weigth are perfect, but the feel isn't as good as with the Salmosa" and that was it . | ||

But that brings me to the question, I love the feel of this mouse (small overall but not flat and has rubber grip on the sides) But being that I bought it only as a portable mouse to go with my laptop I am looking to get a nice corded gaming mouse now, suggestion for anything approximately this size and shape? I am thinking the Kinzu will do nice. Also anyone know where I can get a Filco keyboard? Or would it be more worth it to get the Steelseries 6Gv2? | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.xsreviews.co.uk/modules/FCKeditor/Upload/Image/Razer%20Krait/Stock.jpg) anyway, i don't wanna be a clown anymore, i wanna get into platinum leage sometime soon. i wanna buy a new mouse now. anyone has a tip for a solid mouse(should be a touch bigger, as i have large hands, and the krait is kinda smallish to me) for below 30 €? many thanks up front. | ||
