I have the samething. it's by far the best mouse for me.
whats so good about it is that if you have a small hand, this Logitech Mini-Opitical is perfect for y ou. thats all. also the fact that many korean progamers use it, ppl like to use the same mouse as theirs.
just like you wanna ride your favorite skateboarder's deck so you can go pro like him. =P

I think it is just personal preference. I happen to like smaller mice and the mini op just feels right for me.

Its becuase optical mice are lighter and more percise becuase optical is a proven technology lazer is still pretty new and teh G5 and copperhead use a pretty new lazer. im pirtically fond of my mx518 even thou i use my G9 becuase i need 2200 dpi for my 21'' monitor dont wanna work that hard to move the pointer

I may get a mouse like Savior's (only GREEN FOR PROTOSS :D) because it's cheaper and it seems like a lot of people are using them?

Dark Luster, the blue ones (top) are Razer Copperheads. I have one (green) too. I like it, it's much more reliable than the "Fata1ity" mouse I had awhile back, they break after about a week or at best a month. Very shitty design.

The Copperhead is good though, my little bro uses a Razer Krait, it's basically the same mouse except it doesn't have the 4 side buttons, so it's practically the same thing for Starcrafting purposes.

Look closely, it's not deathadder.
Probably lachesis as someone mentionned because i've a deathadder and i don't have the 2 buttons behind the whell's thing.

Edit : Oh and don't buy Deathadder if you use palms... I keep clicking on them without intentions. So it's getting pretty annoying... :[
Basically : every optical razer/microsoft/logitech are good, also the ax7 seems to be great too, but i haven't tried it so it's up to you.

Mine is blue :D! I got it for like 25$ 2-3 years ago because the box was opened .

Rofl I just noticed that I don't have "Diamondback" written on it anymore. Kinda had the reflex to check if it was on the palm of my hand.

That.
It's nice and light, though I think there's a broken off piece jiggling somewhere in mine. It doesn't effect performance though. I never really use the fourth button.

Of course it's all preference, I think that symmetry and lightness is the most important. I've had several "comfort" mice (Mx518 among them) and I really hated the shape. Now I'm using Logitech Op Mini, G3 is also good, Razer Krait looks good, but I've never used one.

Razer krait is nice. It's small, which fits me nicely. The only bad (or imo good, because I hate things that get in the way) thing is that it doesn't have any extra buttons. That's good for StarCraft, but worse for browsing etc. However, I don't really care.

It's also cheaper than the average gaming mouse even though it has great drivers and same technical stuff as the other razers. It has gotten poor reviews by noobs who thinks it's bad because "what RTS gamer would want a small and light mouse without any extra buttons?". Stupid FPS players doing reviews!

Damn, your gears are sweet, I just have my Genius X-Scroll with me here, not the best one around but does the job for me.

It also fits perfectly in my hands with its 4.5" length.

Had a copperhead, and the tracking is sweet, but within a year the buttons got kinda messed up and became hard to click, so I put it aside.

On a standard logitech wheel mouse right now:
[image loading]

it's not very good in terms of tracking and precise mousing, although I like the shape.

Gonna try a logitech mini optical mouse next. The "Customers who bought this also bought..." on amazon really sold me on it.

Excuse me if im off topic but wtf is that on-the-fly sensitivity on razer mice ? ><
I kept thinking it's better off although i've it on for almost an entire week... But everytime i'm setting if off it feels way better.
Seriously i don't know what exactly it does but it seems like this thing is making my pointer sliding or something and thus i'm always missclicking...

I was just searching through old threads on the way to get my new mouse, so I could get a good idea of what I should get.

I went with the Razer Diamondback, http://www.razerzone.com/p-70-razer-diamondback-gaming-mouse.aspx

Honestly this is the sexiest mouse I've ever held.

I'm now very trendy too because I just got a Razer DeathAdder.
According to the ridiculous Razer marketing, I should now have auto-wins against players with non-Razer mice.
But it's an excellent mouse.

used a g5, had to switch to a mini optical.
like the feel of the g5 better but the mini optical is definitely a better gaming mouse, easier to move precisely due to much smaller size and lighter weight.

You can pop open the top casing (the screw is on the bottom side of the mouse). The weight is screwed into the center area.

I don't think that USB was even invented when that mouse was made. I guess all these new white macbooks are be that color in 10 years.

Oh wow ty ty ty I did not think this mouse could get any better. It feels so much better now, it's lighter and the movement feels more natural.

Since I do not use my computer much for gaming anymore, I plan to get a wireless keyboard and mouse in the future. Also, the new, high-end wireless mice are supposed to be just as good now. At least for non-intensive gaming.

G9x, I use only my fingertips to move around a mouse, so the wide grip is great for my adult size hands. Also the benefit of a high dpi, i normally run it at 3400dpi. Only downside i think is weight i don't often pick it up but still moving around a heavy mouse with fingers only gets a bit tiring. I don't care for the DA just because of the tall mid section does not favor my grip.

Really the ideal fingertip mouse would be light, not that tall(height) so it doesn't interfere with your fingers trying to manipulate it. Some what short in length similar to the G9 as you don't need a backside to rest your palm on, and all that extra backside makes it hard to turn the thing. And a wide base to which your thumb and index/pinky and get a firm grip on it, total opposite of the copperhead/krat/diamondback which kind of tapers as you get down which makes holding it a bit hard, via fingers only.

I use a pretty expensive lenovo mouse that came with my dad's laptop. Feels nice, though the relatively low dpi is noticeable in some FPS games.

I splurged and got a new mouse a few weeks ago.

I personally can't stand cordless mice, as the last time i used one, there was a slight delay from when i moved the mouse, and when the cursor moved. That and I hate charging stuff.

So I splurged and spent $40 on a new mouse.

i use the razer mamba =D

[image loading]

its like the deathadder except with on the fly sensitivity and is wireless.



is it worth the money? that depends on the person; but i shopped around for weeks before i could get a much cheaper than retail one.

i reallyyyy like it. =D

* i specifically was looking for an ergonomic one. i looked at other companies like logitech, steelseries, and other razer mice.

the only 2 that stood out to me as ergonomic and simple were the deathadders and the mambas (lol because they are the same design.)

back when i got the mamba, i FELT like i had the money to get it. of course, now i wish i had more money in my wallet; but it's a great mouse regardless.

True. I tried the G5 and a razer mouse (don't remember the name) and I still stick to my beloved MX518! (bought the 2nd one a few months ago. The mouse buttons of my 1st got jammed from time to time :/ )
Don't like all this redundant gimmicks like be able to adjust the weight of the mouse by put weights in it. Maybe it's interesting for fps gamer but not for me

You can't really say that if you haven't tried other mice. How do you know that there isn't a mouse out there that suites you more?

Unless you happen to be travelling a lot or don't have space on your desk for a keyboard and mouse, I really don't see how wireless is more convenient at all. If anything, I've always felt that they were more inconvenient because you always have to remember to recharge the batteries or else you'll end up having them die on you while you're using them. With a wired mouse and keyboard, you just leave it there and forget about it.

Logitech G500, I love it.

I used the Intellimouse 3.0 for a while then switched to Razer Deathadder 3500dpi (though I only use the 1800 dpi setting). Imo, there are lots of similarities to the two which is why I think I got used to the Deathadder so quick.

Yep yep I removed the weight and the thing that made the scroll wheel click so now it's ultra-smooth. I also have bought two new pairs of mouse skates so far because they come off. I'll use it until it breaks.

Cooler Master Storm Sentinel Advance.
I love this badboy, it feels a bit strange at first but then it's awesomeness increases exponentially. I also love that I can change profiles (x and y dpi, rate of inrease in dpi per click on the two buttons etc) quickly. I can also choose colours, using white now

You can remove the click? I guess I have to open it back up then...

Then you next mouse would be a G500 sense it's the same shape but a bit bigger. Or G9x a very wide mouse nice for large hands but frankly has a steep learning curb to feeling comfortable as it's shape is quite new for mice.

any other recommendations?

The Steelseries Kinzu (or Xai if you want more than 3 buttons). It's pretty small and symmetrical which is perfect for fingertip grip.

Used to use an Cooler master sentinel advance, but I just got the Alienware TacX, the TacX has a better sensor but it's really small compared to the sentinel which is fine since my hands are small the size of the mouse is pretty similar to the logitech mini I'd say maybe just a tad bit bigger. Sometimes dell has a sale for the TacX so I managed to pick it up for 39.99 +tax and it's great since it's basically a g9x.

its great

I had a mouse like this for about 7 years. Never had a single problem. Than I had some money laying around that I wanted to spend so I bought the Logitech G9x

Logitech mice have not failed me to this date.

EDIT: I use the mini op on my laptop now that runs a Minecraft server, and takes a beating from me coding on it (I know the mouse doesn't take as much of a hit as the keyboard, but it's still taking a beating after about 7 years and never has given me a single issue, I love that mouse).

EDIT2: Also someone asked why this mouse was so great.
Well basically, I just realized that a lot of Korean pros use this mouse (from reading this thread actually and doing a little bit of research on it) and I used to play all sorts of video games, Diablo, Starcraft, I played tf2 on it for about 2 and a half years. Just about every other Valve and Blizzard game and in game, out of game, wherever, I have never once had a single problem with this mouse, in seven years. That is why it's so great. I guess a lot of progamers just realized that too and started using it. Good to know.

i bought roccat kova, but im not satisfied with it Cursor moves significantly each time I grab mouse above the surface and each time I put it back on. Its annoying - like the sensor was supersensitive. I could even play a game without putting the mouse on the mousepad.

Is it normal?

I had Microsoft Intelimouse Explorer 3.0A, it was supercool but started to malfunction. I ordered this Roccat Kova but they mistakenly sent me new Intelimouse Explorer 3.0A, I had dilemma if I should send it or keep it. I made a wrong decision

SS Kinzu.
I know this one gets tons of bashing due to the built in acceleration etc, but I really believe people are over-exaggerating it a bit. I don't find it that bad, and it was cheap as hell, so it's not that much of a loss if you just get one to "try it out".

Are you really picking up and putting down the mouse while playing starcraft? I can understand for an FPS or something but I with the sensitivity on my mx518 the way it is i just need to make small movements to cover the whole screen.

The hyper scroll wheel when it's on click mode is very loud, thankfully when it's in hyper scroll it's silent, which i've learn to even play games with it like that.

Logitech V450 nano, works great for working and gaming. Never had any complaints on it. However I would love to get my hand on MX or G series, or perhaps Razer one. But so far it's really great and convenient and I don't want to splash for more than 50$ for a mouse.

oh jeebus, i would hate this for fps, especially since im used to big mice with big mousepads D:

im rolling with the ikari, mx518, and ms3.0. had to drop the ms3.0 when playing sc2, as 450dpi at 1680x1050 wasnt to my liking, still preferred mouse for fps though

Lower the sensitivity ? There are tons of drivers which all works for this mouse. Be it mx500 510 518 or g500.

True, at first it wasn't really convenient for me too due to it's small size, not that small actually, somewhat medium. But after awhile I get used to it.

With 800dpi it's adequate for my 1440x900 monitor. If I'm getting higher resolutions monitor I would invest some more $ into a mouse.

I was thinking to get MX518, the price is within my range, however since I get used to wireless mouse for quite some time, having a wired one is really drive me nuts for some reasons ^^

Razer product is looking great, and I'm really interested to get one, perhaps for my next one.

My trusty G1 bought in China died a little while back. Now I have to use a G3. The G3 is decent, but the G1 was absolutely awesome.


Still using my G1 except its black instead of blue, so it doesnt look as cool

Are you satisfied with XAI? I have a claw/fingertip grip and not very big hands...Would you recommend it?

No mouse ball?


It is in fact true. There are absolutely no balls on this mouse.

It does, however, flash like a fucking disco ball even when the computer is off. I have to cover it with my Hello Kitty backpack.

I'm an absolute Logitech MX-Series fan.

My first one was the MX500, which was legendary good. It was in use for about 9 years, until the left button started to miss like every 20th click. Nowadays my old MX500 serves as a mouse for my Laptop, when I work on it.
There was noooo other mouse I've been looking for I just wanted another MX... so it is the MX518 since the beginning of the year.

I can recommend this mouse to everyone looking for HIGH quality mouse for a good price.

This looks like a love letter and it is. I was really really upset when my MX500 kinda broke <3

My razor copperhead died and I just realized they don't make them anymore.

I was thinking about getting a Lachesis has anyone used that one? I want something similar to the copperhead as possible and it's on sale for $40.

Tell me what mouse you use I have experience with many mice ranging from Razers to Logitechs and just now I am favoring steelseries mice. Now my hand rests in a palm grip but when playing Stacraft 2 my palm comes off the mouse into a claw/fingertip grip as you mentioned.

Since I started using it I have been extremly satisfied with the mouse, it makes my deathadder generations 1 & 2 look cheap and fisherprice like in comparison. It does not feel cheap, the death adder around the thumb buttons has a cheap glossy plastic that is obviously done for visual appeal the xai isn't given any radical LEDs or shiny plastics. The only thing the deathadder had that I enjoyed is the feel of the scroll wheel but for Starcraft 2 the ammount of scroll wheel scrolling that is done is minimal. At the same time the scrollwheel steelseries makes is quite excellent its just not as big, which may be better once you get used to it.

I like the Ikari because its made just for right hand users, xai is amidexterous which I am not a huge fan of because unless I plan on getting my right hand chopped off it is sort of meaningless. I love the shit out of it however.

Another thing I noticed about the xai is that my hand doesn't heat up using it for a long time, or rather it doesn't sweat. The mouse doesn't have tons of lights in it and the screen on the bottom it does have you can turn off or disable the brightness. Razer mice make my hands sweat even when the lights are turned off.

Give me more details and I can probably help you out.

to be honest, I dont see the point of the discussion. Buy this mouse and you will never ever worry about pm mouses (perhaps some which sneak in your house in rl..).

We had this topic so many times. You have like 3 choices, a standart 0€ mouse, a expensiv razor mouse or the equal good but less expensiv and more endurable mx518.

If you want to buy a mouse, just read a few tests of mx518 and vs razor, and you will see noone ever complains about the mx518. It's the perfect mouse.

Hey , I know I m a noob but why is it so important to play with a 1a mouse ? Well I played WoW where extra buttons were really nice but dont understand for what reason SC2 player would buy one :> . If someone could tell me , i would be happy :D
i like sc2 more than wc3 because of its mind games , in wc3 the only mind game you could do is go for a different hero than normal to make your opponent thing you are retarded

The reason isn't the extra buttons.

Basically:
1) DPI, the higher DPI, the more precise it can be in it's actions.
2) Weight. Many mice got a cartridge allowing you to adjust the weight, giving you more control.
3) Palm Position. It needs to fit nicely in your hand, and not have your fingers drag along the mouse pad, or give you a hard time clicking buttons.

I for one like to drag my thumb and pinky on the pad, gives me more precision in FPS. I know a lot of people prefer the extra stability as well. I'm using a death adder btw, or my Logitech g9.

That's not exactly how it works. DPI - CPI more correctly - is just how many times the sensor reports movement per inch, effectively just the sensitivity of the sensor. In most games a certain amount is necessary to avoid pixel skipping - e.g. in CS you don't want to turn you mouse sensitivity above ~5 in game, I think, so you need a mouse with high enough CPI that you can reach your desired sensitivity without going above 5. The number is not that high, in most games it might be around 400-500, certainly not close to the 5000 CPI advertised on some mice.

Starcraft is a little bit different, as it doesn't have a sensitivity control of its own, it just adjusts your windows sensitivity. To avoid pixel skipping, all sensitivity adjustments must be made by adjusting the CPI of the mouse with the in-game sensitivity left at 51%-54%. In this case it is quite useful to have a mouse with a wide range of CPI settings so that you can finely adjust your sensitivity without running into pixel skipping.

Logitech G5 laser, and I'm beginning to hate it. Jumps across the screen from time to time, is unresponsive, lags occasionally, it's fucking annoying. Gonna unburrow my Mx518 again... when I get home.

It's also fucking heavy.

I just got a g9x. i've put as much weight as i can in it, and it's the best mouse i've used so far ( i like to claw my mouse).

if you're a palm grip person, the deathadder is the most comfortable mouse i've used.

The MX518 is probably the only mouse I'll use for a long time. Awesome weight/feel for the heavy handed, and awesome UI once you download setpoint.

Pixel skipping becomes annoying when you have to triple the sensitivity of your mouse. Also, trying to use 450 CPI on the desktop is not fun. If all I ever did was play QL, then yes it would be a very nice mouse, but I don't.

MX500 from when I was like 12 until I was 16, cable broke by then.
Bought a MX518, right mouse button broke after half a year, lost the stuff necessary for warranty, so, duh.
Opened it up to see if I can maybe fix it, noticed it looks nearly identical to MX500 inside.
I kept my MX500 since only the cable was broken, so I tried to exchance the circuit boards with the mousebutton triggers, and oh wonder, it actually worked.
And still does, since 5 years. Just love that shape.

If the Intellimouse really wasn't capable of what you call 'reasonable sensitivity' then I guess we'd be in a situation where you look at mouse hardware and have to pick between affordability and satisfaction. Fortunately I appear to have achieved both. It's intensely satisfying.

I have a g15 I think...... anyway, it's a logitech optical mouse with on the fly sensitivity adjustment buttons.

not that I use those, I keep it at maxed anyway. I went to a LAN tournament and someone tried using my mouse at my sensitivity settings..... he was like WTF MAN.

Kinda funny.

Thanks for the description Carefoot

The thing is, I've been using Logitech G1, and then G3 for 3 years, now I've got the G500(which is a great mouse don't get me wrong) but it's to bulky for my grip, can't seem to adjust to it...So I was wondering if the SSXai would be the way to go since my hand also raises from the mouse and I have a claw/fingertip grip. I compared the measurements of G3 and Xai and they're not very different, but until I hold one I can't really tell...

Well, since I just got my new laptop yesterday, I got a free mouse with it, it's the new SteelSeries Xai, never thought I'd see a LCD display on a mouse but I guess there is a first for everything. I love this mouse, It's shaped exactly like the Microsoft optical mouse which is quite possible the best mouse ever made, well, second best now that I've tried this one. I love this one, it has super nice texture to it, also the instant switch CPI button is pretty sweet when playing FPS games.

Was using an MX518 'till the middle mouse button broke, same thing happened with the g7 before it... Guess it's just the platform. Took it because it was pretty much the best on the ESReality chart and I had to replace my mx - I use that button a LOT in blender. It's a bit smaller/heavier than the MX/G7 - the weight was a major bugger at fist but after a few weeks you get used to it (warsow rulez). Otherwise.... 1000hz polling, responsive keys (easy to press, not too easy), insane perfect control speed, no prediction firmware, runs w/o drivers flawlessly... Can't really imagine anything more that I'd need for gaming

id really love the xai if not for this retarded ambidextrous design. the sidebuttons on the right side get completely in the way when i try to grip the mouse. its very annoying, because otherwise the xai would be the perfect mouse for me. does any1 have an idea if its possible to remove or fix the right sidebuttons of a xai?

atm im using this beauty, but its getting old and starts malfunctioning.

I see the MX518 on sale on Amazon for $25 which is really tempting, but my good ole MX510 is doing just fine after many years of use and I love it. There's not a huge difference from what I can tell between the two mice. However.. I may just pick it up since $25 for the MX518 is a steal.

Steelseries Xai has no contender for me quite yet but if I do I will post it here on TL.

2nd best mouse I've ever used was the G9X but the design for me personally was too low for my mouse hand to be comfortable.

lol, i didnt mean turning their functionality off, i meant physically fixing them so that they cant be pressed anymore.

the point where my ring finger exerts pressure on the right side of the mouse body to control it lies exactly where these side buttons are located, so its bad for my grip and feeling of control that the mouse body is "giving in" at the point where i want to hold the mouse tight.

Using the same mouse, the hardware is great. But the software is pretty bad, I wish you could change dpi directly in it. There's only some sensitivity bar and I'm not sure if it changes windows sens or not.

It´s probably a strange question, but can anyone suggest a decent wireless gaming mouse? I´ve checked razer and some online stores and, damn, they´re expensive. I know, a wired mouse would be more quicker, more precise etc. but it´s a dealbreaker for me and since I´m just a casual gamer I don´t need the craziest technical stats.
So if you know a wireless mouse, that´s comfortable to use and decent for gaming, I´d be a happy man.

dont get a wireless mouse, most of them are a little slow on responsiveness unless you want to pay a lot of money for one. but i'd suggest some sort of logitech mouse around $50 CAD if you really want a wireless mouse.

oh, and btw, the buttons on the right side of the xai cannot be turned off to not be able to be pressed, but if you want you can get the lower end xai mouse, i forget what its called though, but it only has 3 buttons and is like half the price, pretty much exact same in every other aspect though

most reliable mouse ever

i think hb uses it too
:D


I use this one as well. Although I bought it back when I still played FPS-es (still do btw :d). It's used quite a lot in the competitive FPS scene from what I know. Personaly I like it for SC2 as well. Although it is quite large meaning you will not be able to pick it up that easily with 1 hand whilest playing.

I just checked out the new kinzu when I was at futureshop and it has a 10,000 dpi sensor, which compared to the 12,000 on the xai is not too bad. It's actually quite a bit better than 90% of gaming mice out there.

I have a question to anyone using a Logitech G9/G9x, MX518, or G500.

When the mouse was new, did it have an odor? like a kind of rubber/petroleum smell? or a "fresh out of the factory" odor? I just want to know if it had any kind of odor.

I still have the 1600DPI version of the MX518, with the transparent bottom frame. I only found out its ridiculously popular about a year ago, but Ive been using it since it was released.

Too bad the price never really changed, still in the $40-50 price range.

edit: Went from a trackball to this, never bought anything else. Maybe except for a Logitech Mini those are great.

Cuts your DPI by a fixed amount while you hold it down, presumably to snipe someone in the face with greater accuracy.

If I would only play SC2 I'd go with Abyssus, but the DA is better for MMO's and browsing (side buttons).

No offence, but sounds like you know nothing about mice then...

FIRST OF ALL it uses the Philips Twin Fail sensor... And that's BEFORE the weight, the problems with flexing, the size (may not be a prob for some) and so on...

Do not buy the RAT if you are after performance rather than looks!

Go for the XAI if you have the cash, maybe a Diamondback if you do not...

Xai is definitley best mouse out there if you don't care about it being left and right handed, and honestly, you shouldn't

Yes I dont know anything about mice, but all I know is that mouse is the best one I've ever used. You have your opinion, I have mine.

I have both a Xai and a Logitech G9. I really like both but I slightly prefer the G9. It seems to fit my hand better. It's hard to describe but I feel more 'confident' in the way I can grip it; I don't feel like the mouse will fly out of my hands. Strangely enough, I end up spending more time on my Xai however, because I brought it to use at work. I couldn't stand the crappy Dell mouse that the IT department provided for me.

no wonder. mx518 is fitting best to palmgrip, while g9/x is strictly for fingertip-/clawgrip.

the g9x is simply not useable for palmgrippers. unless u are a midget with corresponding handsize

i bought the g9x after the whole fruitdealer hype only to return it to the store 2 days later. It's simply to heavy for me even without all the additional weights. Im back on my Abyssus now which has a very nice and comfortable shape and is also very light.

Actually you just change it from palm to the upper most part of the palm which is frankly a better position for your hand as the high palm arch only makes the likelihood of carpool tunnel syn, but then again the design is based on ergonomics rather then how some people play games.

But yeah i'd probably like a G500 if i had a palm grip but it feels so unnatural to move a mouse like that for me i can't really say.

This defines the relationship between any keyboard, mouse, speaker, headset, tv etc lol.

I say give something a month or two before you get piss mad at it becuase then at least you have pretty valid experience with it to bitch about.

Are you just repeating what you've heard other people say on the internet, or can you tell us your experience with it ?

I just got it, and I think it's absolutely awesome. It has a nice size, nice texture to the surface of it, it's light, it feels good while playing and most importantly, it's very cheap, so good value for the money

Yeah I bought one already in case my MX518 will die. Hope they never stop producing them.
Maybe make one with USB3 in the future.

How light is it compared to something like a deathadder? I've had a mini optical for like 3 years and it's starting to hurt my hand after playing for a while.

I think it's slightly heavier than a death adder, the teflon feet make it feel like it is part of your hand though.

Just switched over to a Razer DeathAdder from a Logitech Mini Optical (weights and springs removed) as a gift to myself from Black Friday.

Took me a while to get used to the sensitivity and the larger size, but I'm finally getting used to the speed at which the mouse operates. Had to boot into Windows to update the firmware, but now all is well on the Mac side.

Drivers work awesome, the mouse is extremely smooth with the Steelseries QCK pad. Showing off the lights when I feel like it adds a nice touch.

Overall, very awesome mouse and satisfied with my purchases.

It's interesting that prediction/angle snapping and pos/neg acceleration isn't being discussed in detail in this thread. Those factors are of major importance to FPS players. Most FPS players use either a WMO, IMO1.1, 3.0, DeathAdder or Abyssus because they have no prediction or inherent acceleration. This makes for highly accurate mouse movements.

Logitech G500. Got it a couple of weeks ago, very happy with it. I've previously used MX510 and MX518, both of which were great. When my MX518 died, I chose the G500 because I was used to Logitech's design with the ergonomic grip (for my hands at least). Buttons are good and responsive.
I use it on a func 1030 mat I've been using for like 7 years now.

Just FYI, Dynex is a brand manufactured by Best Buy and there is an absurd markup on virtually all products/peripherals and the simpler the product (eg. ethernet cable) the bigger margin. Not to say that they're necessarily poor quality, but their prices are inflated far more than other brands (MS, Logitech, whoever).

I use a 4 year old MS Optical 3000, the ergonomic design + button layout is ideal for me and the drivers are great. Pointer precision is starting to fade and I will soon order a baller Razer mouse. I've heard they're really good and they're just so damn cool. :o

Steelseries Xai with 9HD mouse pad. Pretty sweet mouse , 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).

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

dpi is a marketing gimmick, lowering your dpi does not affect tracking accuracy.

i dont know anyone who uses higher than 2k dpi and i would consider accurate, although i have an fps background so most good people there are running 400 or 1800dpi- so maybe there are pro sc players running at 2k+ dpi

use 2800 @ 53% and play with 3k and low ingame settings in ql & UrT and 2400 with 6/11 in windows on a 1680x1050 screen .

shouldnt buy stuff for dpi but beeing able to freely adjust dpi from 100 to 5600 has some advantages and might even be somewhat needed on higher resultions..

I think the steelseries xai is a fantastic mouse and you can actually find them for really cheap sometimes (~50 bucks) I bought mine on sale for 80.
If all you're offering is Dos Equis, I will stay thirsty thank you very much.

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.

I've used the Razer Salmosa since SC2 release and it's probably the best gaming mouse I ever had. The combination of light weigth, medium size and high precision make it perfect for SC, other games and work / general use as well.

[image loading]

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]

- Roccat Kova. Bad reviews, but interesting design and right size / weigth
[image loading]

- Roccat Pyra. Very nice handling, but unsure if a laptop mouse is the right thing for me

After some thinking, I finally decided on a mouse. I present to you my new mouse:

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.

Any reason you decided to pick it over the Abyssus? I have a Salmosa (Nada edition!) and it's the best mouse I've used, but from what I hear the Abyssus is an updated Salmosa.

Any reason you decided to pick it over the Abyssus? I have a Salmosa (Nada edition!) and it's the best mouse I've used, but from what I hear the Abyssus is an updated Salmosa.


- The price. 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 .

At the moment using a Logitech M305.

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?

Baah, can anyone suggest an alternative to my LMO(logitec mini optical), i tried the lachesis 4000dpi but its not soo good for FPS. i want a mouse that is quite small and lightweight like the LMO but then not too expensive. 800dpi is not that great on a 1680x1050 screen =(

i was thinking about razer abyssus, or something like that. anyone suggest anything like the LMO?

i'm using a 3 year old razer krait, which seems to me like the lowest level of optical mouse razer has ever built, and it leads to a lot of cursing every time i click on a single scv and my mouse decides that it wants to have a double click right there, which then leads to me moving my whole mineral line around the base just for scouting purposes, at which time hilarity ensues in camp opponent, or at least i bet it does if they watch the replays.

[image loading]

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.

Razer Salmosa. Solid, ligthweigth, high precision. I praised it a lot in my post a little bit above yours as it's the best mouse I've ever used. I even got a second Salmosa to replace my first, which I managed to damage.

It's been discontinued by Razer (dunno why), but it's available for ~20€ on Amazon and Ebay. On the german Amazon site you'll only find them from a shop that sells "B" products, i.e. with slight flaws or damaged packaging. However, I've bought both of my mice from there and both were brand new with zero use, and only the package was slightly damaged (but who cares about the box).

Alternatively, you can get it imported from Asia for ~20€ including shipping, but shipping will take a while due to customs issues. But the wait is worth it.

It strongly depends on what type of mice you prefer.

I recently tested the Orochi at a local retailer when looking for a new mouse. It's highly ergonomic and fit perfectly into my hand; however, it's also extremly small and very heavy, especially considering the size. With batteries it's around 150g (~100g without batteries) while only being around 9,5x7 cm large.

Razer Lachesis 5600DPI. The color changes to any Hex code you want; 1000Hz Polling Rate; perfect feel- the best mouse I've ever owned, hands down.

I just ordered this.

I've mostly been using a Deathaddder earlier. I feel that it's hard to lift for small movements when you're playing RTS games so I tried the Razer Salmosa and Steelseries Kinzu. Both of these mice improved my control when playing RTS games but they heart my wrists - I need something bigger that doesn't force too much of a claw grip.

Hopefully the G9X is what I'm looking for - easy to lift but kind to my hands

The double-clicking is likely due to dirt in the mouse (probably hair twisted around the mouse wheel). This is what happened to my Deathadder. Disassemble the mouse and clean it.

i was thinking about razer abyssus, or something like that. anyone suggest anything like the LMO?

The second mouse is the Rat 3 I believe, I own the rat 5 and the ability to tweak it is just incredible, hands down my favorite. Think it goes for something like $70 most places.

i was like an old woman while looking for a new mouse recently
has to have this,
has to have that, etc

in the end i got too tired and said i would one day buy them all

the truth is, any mouse is good as long as you like its style and it doesn't get on your nerves

hope you're not one of those people who worry about all that stuff though

better to just put up with things and learn to be indifferent/learn to appreciate what you have !

(abyssus for me btw, good buttons but weird/rough feel for a smaller mouse especially if your fingers tend to freestyle grip)

I have the no hassle driverless version though, pretty happy with it. I find it comparable to the abyssus.

Questions for those that have a Logitech g9x, how is the build quality/durability? Thinking about getting it, but I use a laptop for work/gaming so I'd carry it in a laptop bag with me all the time, does it break easily?

Just put w.e mouse you get in a plastic container then into the laptop bag if you're going to worry about it. I've known people who broken their laptop screen while in the laptop bag so it's all a matter of how bad you are at taking care of things.

So, i posted a few pagesa go, and people told me to get the salmosa. I went ahead and asked around if any of my nerd friends had one of those, and look see, my buddy across the street has one. Tried it out, or better:looked at it and figured out that it is as big as the krait is, and therefore no option for me. I wanted a bigger mouse.

Then I visited the office of another friend the other day, and by chance noticed the mouse he's using for office purposes. Looked pretty bulky. Wide. Might be perfect for my hand. I asked him if I could borrow it to test it with SC2, he just smiled, got up from his PC and said: "Go right ahead, it's installed on this machine."

30 minutes and two won ladder games later, I went directly to amazon and ordered my new mouse, which was dirt cheap (around € 9,99), to be honest.

Comfortable, the side buttons aren't obtrusive, and it definitely works well overall. It's only 400 DPI but from what I've gathered that really doesn't matter as I can just turn the SC2 sens up?
Uh, I think I still don't quite get what DPI does or doesn't do.

As I have to keep Windows at 6/11 sensitivity it is a bit slow when browsing but I'm used to it, and I haven't noticed any lack of precision while gaming. Though one problem is that the side buttons feel really cheap, I saw some fix for it but I'd rather not attempt anything that's well over my head in case I somehow kill the mouse.

This mouse looks really, really good. If I didn't already have a three-button mouse with my Salmosa, I'd get this just because of the style. How's the quality of the mouse, the surfaces, and how reliable are the buttons (rattling etc.)?

I use the original Microsoft sidewinder, dont get why this mouse was never liked much i fucking love it, it isnt all tiny and light. Never had a problem with the mouse skipping or jumping or doing anything weird, always has been very precise.

Also the DPI buttons on it are amazing also, they get used a few times a day switching from different games or computers.The thumb buttons are also really good, never do they accidentally get clicked and never is it hard to click them; Dont like the look of the newer Sidewinder thumb buttons.

The customizable weight is damn awsome for me too, seems im one of the few who like a heavy mouse? Added 30g(the most i could) of weight to it... Cant stand a light mouse!

Software couldve been a little better though, wouldve liked more options for DPI settings. Sidewinder is win for me though, dont think ill buy a new mouse at all until this one breaks in probably like 10 or 15 years.
.
Ive never even considered lifting my mouse up while using it, why the hell would you need to do that?

It really feels much better than the 9,71 € I paid for it (amazon.de), AND in comparison to the razer mice for 30+ euros, it seems ridiculous how much they charge for a two button+clickwheel-mouse.

looks great, the sides are rubbery with some profile for a sure grip, and they don't feel cheap either, control is goddamn precise, scroll wheel is rolling lightly but stopping right when you want it, no rolling back one step when you finish halfway between two lines, as there is no "halfway in between". my micro got better just by using this mouse (but i had some issues with my older one, read my post a few pages ago). and: no rattling. nowhere. even when you shake that thing like in some sean paul dancehall track.

in short, i am amazed of how much quality and precision you get for so little money. think if i had spent 70 euros on some high tech thing with exchangeable weights and 42 side buttons...i'd rather save some money and still improve my rather mediocre gold level gaming.

I have a kinzu and I love it because I have such small hands. I picked up my old IE 3.0 yesterday and wow it felt so huge, I can't believe I used it for so many years.

Also the kinzu feels nice with claw grip, the 3.0 did not, at least for me it didn't. Something that was new to me when I picked the kinzu up was that it is designed for both left and right handed, which I feel is more relaxing for your hand instead of using a mouse for right handed people.

But as you can see on the picture, my thumb is almost the same size as the mouse, so if you're having big hands and play palm I don't think you will like this mouse because the mouse will disappear in your hand, lol.

The problem with the kinzu is that the back of the mouse is very flat (unlike the abyssus), so i cannot really have a certrain firm mousegrip but im forced to toss it around between my fingers. i feel like the xai fits my hand a lot better and im going to be testing it soon as i get some money :D

using the abyssus right now and while its built quality is shit the grip on it feels very nice and i can control stuff with it very good!

I use a Roccat Kone mouse, absolutely love it. Comes with a program with an enormous amount of custumizability. And it looks nice and feels good as well

I use this mouse as well. Though, I am on my second. On my first one the right click stuck so I couldn't click on things sometimes and could not click things fast. Luckily, that was within the regular 2 week return time. (I may have spilled mountin dew on it :p)

I bought a Death Adder a few months ago and although it was a great mouse, I realized that I had made a mistake because I mostly fingertip or claw and the Death Adder sucked for those. It was at that time that I first realized the importance of how I grip the mouse and how essential it is to buy a mouse that suits the grip.

So, I went ahead and bought an Abyssus today (Planned for a Salmosa but heard it had the auto-correction issue and I couldn't find it in stock anyways). Planning to sell off my DA at a minor loss because it is only 2 months old anyways.

Coming to the Abyssus, if you at all Fingertip your mouse because you have small hands like me, I can say that the Abyssus is like sex on my fingertips. It is definitely the best mouse I've owned so far from a usage point of view (I've owned the MX18, DA and Abyssus and all are great BTW). I can practically move it with a flick of the wrist and it doesn't hurt my arms too much. Added to that it is very light and compact which makes it perfect for me. You can clearly see why the pros prefer smaller mice like the Salmosa and the Logitech Mini when you play around with one of those. It gives you a great amount of control which is difficult to get with the larger mice.

Also, people say it has issues on cloth pads but I am using it with a Razer Goliathus Speed edition (which is very smooth unlike the control edition) and have had zero issues so far. Although I have to say that the pad is also very new which could be the reason why.

So, all in all, I am very delighted with the purchase so far and if any of you have small hands, then the Abyssus is definitely one of the options that should be on your list. It has the great Razer build that we know, it does 3500 DPI, does not require extra drivers and is pretty cheap to boot.

Also have Razer Mamba being used on my second PC and a Logitech MX for my notebook

Razer Mamba is quite good also, but not worth the price of it for sure , the wireless batery is crap compared to the logitech MX.

Razer Abyssus, very cheap (bought mine for just 130 rmb), good sensor, lightweight, and clicks very fast. Great for Starcraft, I prefer it over my Logitech G1.

This is by far the best mouse on the earth! You can change the weight in 4g or 7gram increments. You can take the outer shell off for a sleeker feel, or add the even bigger shell (3 sizes). Additionally, it has the highest DPI of any mouse, you can customize the lighting colors, the scroll wheel pressure for click or scroll can be adjusted, and the grip is nonslip.

i have a few at home. steelseries kinzu and 2 logitech ... a mx518 and g500. but actually i only use the kinzu. the other ones are way to big and heavy for playing sc2 in my opinion.
the kinzu is an awesome mouse. good shape and very light.

Just got my mionix naos 5000 to replace my G5. The naos feels better in the hand, solid make, nice ergonomics and i like the surface material - its really smooth.

Question/Tip for other naos users:
I noticed the naos software is hooked up to windows mouse settings, but it only goes from 1-10 as opposed to windows 1-11. Easiest way to get 1:1 pixel setting is to fix your mouse settings in naos software, save it, close the program, then go into windows mouse settings and put it at the 6th notch. When you open the naos software you can see windows has changed the sensitivity to just over 5, which is equivalent to 6/11 and 1:1 pixel ratio.

Currently i use these settings
Pointer precision (windows): off
Sensitivity (windows): 6/11

Ingame Sensitivity (SC2): 51% (since it works at increments of 5, 51-54% is 1:1)
Reduce mouse lag (SC2): SC2 reads raw mouse data (skips windows, so my settings there dont matter right?)

Naos software: 1600 dpi at 1920x1200, every special features disabled more or less

So, I have been interested in maybe upgrading my mouse to something of the likes of a G500 or a Death Adder, but I really feel like I would want to feel the mouse before I bought it. I know that probably isn't feasible however, and I was just looking for confirmation that the best way to do this would be to pick one and be ready and willing to return it if I don't like the feel of it?

I guess I basically answered my own question, so I'll pose a more simple one: have people had bad experiences with either of the G500 or the Death Adder?

Great so i can adjust the weight of a mouse that is already heavy as a brick without any weights!
Also DPI higher than 3000 makes gaming or working more or less impossible so DPI shouldnt be the factor by which you choose a mouse!

You just have to somehow get your hands on the mouse to know if it fits, how heavy it is, etc... And then pick one! The only relevant info is the one you get from actually using one!
Also, mouse confort should be your. no.1 priority, then weight, then the rest...
what happened, happened...

The best way to do this would be to drop by at a local retailer that has several different mice on display and to hold each one in your hand for some time to see how they feel. Unless you're living somewhere in the rural outback with no retailer for the next few hundred miles, this should be much more practical than ordering mice and returning them when they don't fit.

Chances are you'll miss out on some really great mice if you stick too much to a certain model or brand before deciding, since the choice of a mouse is largely a matter of personal taste and few people can really help you with that.

ive been reading on these other posts and trying to figure out what i should do/if i need a new mouse. i have a 23" monitor running at 2054x1152 in windows and using 1920x1080 in sc2. I use windows sens of 6/11 and 47% in game sc2 sens. i'm used to low sensitivities from back in my cs 1.6 days where i did a big long sweeping move to do a 180 turn and then could be very precise with low sens.

my mouse is an old microsoft wireless mouse with 400 dpi. lol. i understand if i get an mx 518 with 1600 dpi and keep everything else the same i will move the mouse 1/4 as much to get the same cursor movement. that's a crazy increase in sensitivity which i won't be able to get used to. do i put the dpi at 1600 and turn down the sc2 sense really low? will i notice a difference? i never really notice problems currently, but now that ive been reading on it it seems like maybe my mouse is terrible and not precise at all. (i guess i do have some issues with precision on the minimap sometimes).

help? btw ~2600 master, so something must be working okay for me.

I got myself a second mouse for work / general use as I was missing side buttons on my Salmosa with increasing frequency. I managed to snag a Deathadder from Ebay for a steal so this is what my desk looks right now. I also have a second Salmosa in stock once the current one finally breaks (LMB is loose).

I use a Kinzu Steelseries optical wired. I think wired is way better for gaming, and only use optical because they've come so far that ball is no longer better anymore

Seriously, my best friend knew it was my birthday and that I was building a budget PC computer, so he bought me a mouse he felt was great and a great price. He also knew Idra uses it.

It seems fine to me, but I read a lot of people saying how horrible it is because of the acceleration built into the mouse. I just simply disable it in the Kinzu menu, as well as delete the registry for mouse acceleration. It seems like everyone who has one, says they are awesome, while everyone who doesn't have them talk about how bad they are because of this supposed acceleration.

Could anyone enlighten me about the Kinzu Steelseries, and why it's such a bad mouse? Or, otherwise, why it's so great?

i like it so far, really appreciate my friend's present!

This is by far the best mouse on the earth! You can change the weight in 4g or 7gram increments. You can take the outer shell off for a sleeker feel, or add the even bigger shell (3 sizes). Additionally, it has the highest DPI of any mouse, you can customize the lighting colors, the scroll wheel pressure for click or scroll can be adjusted, and the grip is nonslip.


Great so i can adjust the weight of a mouse that is already heavy as a brick without any weights!
Also DPI higher than 3000 makes gaming or working more or less impossible so DPI shouldnt be the factor by which you choose a mouse!

I just bought this and have been using it for a few days, so I'll chip in with my comments. Wall of text inc.
+ Show Spoiler +

First off, there aren't three sizes. You could use it without a shell but if you do it's the most unergonomic mouse in history with absolutely terrible side buttons. You are supposed to use the shells, of which there are two : Precision and.. uh, comfort grip. I haven't actually used the bigger shell (the comfort one) but I got the impression that the mouse feels nicer with a palm grip, though it felt like the shell kind of got in the way.

The precision grip is.. weird. It is as if it shaped for someone having their hands hovering about 2-3cm above the desk, I tend to rest my hand using the fingertip grip, with the pivot bone Day9 mentioned in his mechanical daily staying on my desk.

If I do my pinky sits just a bit too far back, which isn't too comfortable. If i move it forward the back of the mouse hits the palm of my hand and I couldn't play like that for the life of me, though I imagine this is something I'll get used to. It also has a "Dry grip technology" (yeah..) material which keeps sweaty hands from gliding around the mouse. It's a bit like sandpaper that has been used for too long, won't scratch your skin by any means but definitely serves its purpose.
It is worth noting that the precision shell doesn't glide at all, I used to tilt my mouse a bit when I lifted it and moved it but that doesn't work at all. Gotten used to it by now however.

The two side buttons are nice, harder to press than on a IEM 3.0 but not overly so. They're just above my thumb which is ideal. No complaints there. As for the middle mouse button there are two modes, one of which has harder scrolling with a lot of tactile feedback, apparently it is used for switching weapons in FPS games without scrolling too much.

Another small nitpick is that it's easy to press the scroll left or right while in the "gaming mode", as it is quite hard to press down. I do it rarely nwo though, and have only been using the mouse for a few days.

Well, it definitely works. A bit harder to scroll than a regular mouse but it's not going to give your hand cramps or anything. It's positioned a bit further to the right of the mouse so it's easy to use whatever finger you have on your right mouse button to scroll, which is a bit meh on normal mouses.

The second mode however has a few issues. The point is that it removes all tactile feedback and makes it easy as hell to scroll. And it is, if I spin it fast it'll keep scrolling on its' own, definitely feels nice. BUT if you have that mode enabled the mouse will rattle as it'll be a lot looser than it should be. I just stopped using that mode, but I suppose it's a nitpick.

The DPI buttons are placed well, easy to access but near impossible to press on accident, you can have five different DPI settings stored on one profile if you find that necessary. But don't buy the mouse for 5200 DPI, because no one in their right mind would use that, unless you use a 70inch television as your main computer screen. That said you can store three profiles on the mouses memory if you visit LANs and such, you can also have an infinite amount of profiles on your harddrive.

As for the software it's not perfect but with a bit of tweaking you can get everything to your liking. I rebind my side buttons to shift and ctrl and I had to make a macro that uses shift and ctrl respectively, kind of figured that would be an option to have as an input already. Oh and you can change the LED lights, I hope the mouse wasn't more expensive because of that :/

Precision wise the mouse is absolutely amazing. I haven't used many gaming mouses outside of the Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 but playing on really high sensitivity I definitely notice a difference. I play a 6/11 Windows with 1700 DPI and the mouse definitely feels precise. No problems using it on a Steelseries QCK mousepad either.

All in all it is a gaming mouse if there ever was any. I can't imagine using only this mouse at an office for example. If you like resting your hand on your mouse while browsing (palm grip) you have to get used to the feeling of a small shoe in your hand. But if you use a fingertip grip the ergonomics definitely work for gaming.

Other than the scroll using the loose mode the mouse feels solid, I doubt the right or left click will break anytime soon, ditto for the side buttons. I like it, but it's not a perfect mouse.

A bit more long winded than I was going for but hey, there you have it.

I used the MX518 for around four years. During this past Christmas, I acquired a Razer DeathAdder to replace my MX518 (even though it was still working though worn down).

As someone with big hands of the piano finger type (long, thin fingers), I absolutely love the DeathAdder. It's even more comfortable for me than the MX518 (which I still regard as an excellent mouse) and I think some of its features (like the braided cord) make it even more attractive.

I'd strongly recommend the DeathAdder to anyone. However, considering it's size, it's best for palm and claw grip players (Razer, interestingly, has it under the "claw" category on their site).

Finally, I should note that, if you like the old standby Microsoft Intellimouse, the ergonomics of the DeathAdder are incredibly similar. It's also a nice switch for anyone used to the ergonomics of Logitech mice. (All of these mice tend to be bigger and conform to the entire hand.)

Razer Abyssus.

I find it hard to believe people can even USE the MX518. It's so big and unwieldy.

Yeah, the ergonomics of Logitech mice are polarizing: you either really love them or just can't use them.

Interestingly, I find the MX518 significantly smaller and lighter than the DeathAdder but I fully appreciate the DeathAdder more overall.

I use the Razer Abyssus and i find it Perfect for RTS
Its light, small and therefore easier to move
It only has 3 buttons but that's all i really need anyways
I used a Razer Salmosa before that and i like it but it was way to fragile in my opinion
The abyssus is much more robust in my experience

I think the steelseries Kinzu has the same characteristics and should be real good too

I use a Logitech G700 and while it is a nice mouse, I'd still probably get a Razer mouse next.. why? Well, because they seem to support gaming in general a ton more than Logitech does and that means something to me. But for now, I'd really recommend the Logitech G700 to anyone who plays on a laptop. This mouse is amazing; wireless when you want it to be and wired like a normal mouse when you want it to be. Plus, the transmitter is the size of a chiclet and I just leave it in a USB slot all the time.

just switched to steelseries xai. feels weird. i think i'm experiencing the so-called acceleration thing. Should of stuck with my gut and went with optical. Damn lazer mices.
man, razer needs to come out with an abyssus with side buttons. How come only razer makes decent optical mices nowadays.

edit: k, messed with the settings. seems a lot better now.

I just got a Logitech M505 recently, and it's pretty awesome. Light, portable, and feels soooo comfortable. I haven't tried gaming with it yet (I'll be doing that tomorrow), but the clicking and accuracy is pretty good for non-gaming use. My only gripe is that the Office Max I went to didn't have the silver colored mouse, which would have matched my laptop perfectly, but black is a nice generic color. Oh, and Logitech Unifying Receiver. Sweet.

It was $30, which is more than I wanted to spend on a mouse, but I'm actually loving the choice (considering it was a gift from my dad). Wireless doesn't bug me at all (I'm actually more used to them).

Steelseries Kinzu. Its small and simple and fits in my hand perfectly. I use to use a deathadder but the shape felt odd in my hand.

Can you comment on the height of the mouse and the feel? is it more like a abyssus or intelli 3.0
or is it the same size of a intelli 3.0?
Because i need a flat mouse and my abyssus is dying on me.

Been using a G9x that i got on a black friday sale for about sixty dollars. It feels great, feels light without any of the extra weights it comes with and i have not noticed any issues with it so far. Also its pretty easy to pop off the grip and wash it off after it gets sweaty, a nice plus. The material on the standard grip feels much nicer then the plastic of the deathadder i had before it. I play at about 1600 DPI and no problems with accuracy or tracking. Works fine on my steelseries cloth pad.

However the extra grips and the weights are just gimmicks, the mouse is great with no weights and the regular grip it comes with standard. The max DPI is overkill but a lot of higher end mouses in the same price range are are also because of the DPI marketing crap, custom lights like most other mice in its price range. It has two side buttons but i really never use anything like that for RTS.

Maybe this picture is of help.

Compared to the Kinzu, the Zowie EC2 is significantly larger and heavier, but it does have the better sensor and mousefeets.

RAZER™ Mamba!
Despite that this mouse is frightfully expensive (incredible 129,99$ for a freakin mouse), it's really KICKASS! I'm using it for like 2 Months now and i can absolutely say that its a great piece of Hardware, which fits perfectly for me.
if tetris has taught me anything, it's that errors pile up and accomplishments disappear... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Logitech G500

- Customizable weight options
- On-Board Sensitivity
- Cool grippy stuff
- Lockable\unlockable scroll wheel

The sensitivity levels for on board are really customizable in the drivers, I've yet to have a problem with the mouse.

The G500 is the natural progression, i would be using a G500(upgraded from a G5 the one button version lol) if i didn't like the G9x grip better i'm finger tip only though. G500 same shape pretty much with hyper scroll, which i love for surfing the web and stuff i use clicky mode for games and a lazer just as good as the G9x

I need some advice here, I'm trying to decide what to get, my options are:
Logitech MX518: by far, the reviews are the best and ppl say it's amazingly durable (also, it's an old model), which is something incredible for the price (maybe it's because it's not a new model)
Logitech g9x: there are a lot of ppl arround saying the mouse is great and the grips are excelent, I even heard some coments about this being the favorite of some progamers
Cyborg r.a.t. 7: words can't describe how cool this thing looks and ppl say it's amazingly confortable, however, I'm concerned about the durability and I've heard there are some complains about the Philips Twin Doppler laser sensor (http://cyborggaming.com/prod/rat7.htm)

Any advice is welcome

Having used a razer mamba (has a PTE sensor aswell) I recommend you to stay away from them. Compared to my xai, the cursor jumped around all the time (especially with the smallest movement on the z-axis). The mouse didn't feel very precise either. And the thing I dispised the most was that the sensor stopped tracking from time to time (had to replug etc).

For sc2 is better suited:

Razer Abyssus

From what you have listed mx518 better.

Care to elaborate why is the Abyssus better for Starcraft?

Btw, I have kind of small hands, so, I'm trying to get a mouse that's not so big

I finally got my own XAI, and it does not compare to any mouse I've used...It is just awesome (1250 sens) and the material it it made of just sticks to the hand. I really recommend it!

Imperator ftw

Although do you have the same problem as me when it randomly dc from the computer at some times?


I dont have any issues unless i forget to wipe the bottom every once in a while. dust or hairs from my dogs will get near the laser and it then sometimes wont track anymore till i wipe it clean.

I am, however, not using the drivers that came with it, just built in windows drivers.

Logitech M100. I bought this today, it looks quite good actually. This may be the LMO of SC2. I would like a pink mouse, but white looks quite good as well.

Any advice is welcome

For sc2 is better suited:
CM Spawn
Razer Abyssus

From what you have listed mx518 better.


Care to elaborate why is the Abyssus better for Starcraft?

Btw, I have kind of small hands, so, I'm trying to get a mouse that's not so big

Acording to this: link, the deathadder is quite precise, so, I ordered one of those, unfortunatelly, it'll take about two weeks to get here... so, I'm taking a two weeks vacation from starcraft since my older mouse broke... it's kind of weird living in a third world country...

DA large mouse. If you have a small hand, the DA may not be suitable.

The Abyssus is smaller and more lightweight. While the DeathAdder is an amazing mouse (I use one myself), it's not suitable for those with fingertip grip and/or smaller hands. The Abyssus, and even better the Salmosa, would be better choices for someone who doesn't have very big hands.

And QFT on the Logitech Mini Optical, I loved that mouse. Wish they'd come up with an updated version of it with higher DPI. I'd be all over that.

In the end, I saw a video review of the DA with some dude who seemed to have my same complexion... after that, I took a moment and tought about what I saw... at work, I use a rather big mouse (the one that came with the computer), however, what botters me about it is that my whole hand doesn't fit over the mouse, (I drag my pinky over the desk all the time while I rest my hand over the mouse)... in the review, that dude demosntrated that you can actually rest your whole hand (even the pinky) over the DA; and I tought "maybe that'll be confortable"...
Anyway, I'm not a progamer or anything close... I'm just a casual player who is tired of shaky pointers an slow (low dpi) mouses...

As a side note... speaking about new mice made me remember the time I switched from my old ball mouse to an optical... I was so used to the z-axis problem and the unaccuaracy that the new precission of my first optical was too much to handle... that sotry sounds rather silly now.

I echo all of the comments that the DA is for people with large hands. I have somewhat small hands, and it's a tiny bit too big for me. If you have small hands (or are a girl) I expect the DA would be noticeably too large.

I have used the following products
http://www.aceofsweden.com/ace/mouse/laser/edge3200.html
Edge3200 from Ace of Sweden
Loved the feeling. Small hands , issue with side button so i changed it.

Go for the +1 upgrades
got the
http://store.razerzone.com/store/razerusa/en_US/pd/productID.169418900/categoryId.35208800
Razer Naga. Really good and was pretty much exited about the side buttons.
I really tried hard to use them. Worked exellent for the minor stuff. Probes, buildings etc
In battle was not able to control spels, blink, etc
At the end it was the side buttons that gave it away. I was notgood/fast enough to be able to handle them

So now, just today i got this new mouse

My hand is about 8 inches from the base of my palm to the tip of my middle finger.

When you take into account the natural arch of the DeathAdder and my tendency to claw the mouse, it's a perfect fit for me. The high arch of the mouse may put some people off though. I had to get used to it at the start, but quickly adjusted as it did help make my claw grip a lot more comfortable once I got used to it.

Hope this helps!

Razer Abyssus on main computer.

Razer Deathadder 3G on other.

I definitely prefer the Abyssus over the Deathadder for SC2. I just found the Deathadder to be a bit sluggish in comparison because its bulkier/heavier. Also, I love that with the Abyssus I don't need to install any drivers and can just set my dpi and polling rate on the mouse back and then just set my speed to 50%. The one major downside for me is that the Abyssus (and Deathadder for that matter) both have a glossy finish on the side, which accumulates residue and needs to be wiped regularly.

It took me forever to get used to the glossy siding with my Abyssus. I've had a wireless Logitech mouse, and it was pretty regular, horrible sensor though, always bugged out when i wanted to move fast on my low sens shooters.

I love my keyboard and mouse with a burning passion, so I always clean it thoroughly almost everyday, and if i'm eating, I put a tissue over my mouse so I don't get anything on it.

Already messed up my keyboard though, spilled some coffee on it, but i cleaned that fucker as thorough as i could, and it's spotless.

Newegg is having a sale on the Logitech G500. There's a $20 rebate here and a promo code

EMCKGKG23

so you end up getting it for like $26 shipped.

The right-mouse button occasionally sticks annoyingly on my G5, so I ordered the G500.

Just bought myself a beautiful G9x, best mouse I have ever used. I have tried the Steelseries Kinzu and the Deathadder when it came time to buy a new mouse, the feel of the G9 was just perfect and you cant beat the options on it, no more ridiculous hand movement to Ctrl+ group number with the sides keys! I also liked the fact that when I tried it I didn't even notice the side buttons at first, they are out of the way but still very accessible!

Incase anyone was wondering I am running mine at 3200DPI 1000polling with the mouse loaded with all 7g weights (24g total) and using the wide load, perfect lol.

P.S. The microgear is awesome. Being able to free scroll has made me all warm and fuzzy.

This has pretty much been my experience, though my hands are slightly smaller (7.5" from tip of middle finger to base of palm).

Honestly though, the hardest thing to get used to for me was nearly doubling in sensitivity, since my last mouse was only 1800 DPI (MX518).

Microsoft Sidewinder. There are many newer and better models, but I've had this exact one for two years, and it has stood up to some intense spam, mistreatment, and dusty conditions. I love the shape, and how accessible the side buttons are.

g9x+steelseries 4hd mouse pad=perfect

g9x comes with 2 grips plus you can buy a third the ID grip that is ment to be like the mx518 shape.So if your worried about the feel of a mouse this one suits all.And its pin point precise with on the fly dpi.

I know FruitDealer use this mouse (or at least used to) with the black "control friendly" grip.

Was interesting how one guy used it without the grips on. I tried it and kind of liked it. Comparing it to small mice like Steelseries Kinzu and Razer Salmose I actually preferred the "hacked" g9x ^^

Won't be using it though as mice that small hurts my hands but to anyone liking small mice - try it out

EDIT: Oh god, I just LOVE how the mouse feels without any of the grips on. It's like the high-DPI version of Logitech Optical Mini.

I know hey, that's what I've been doing too. It's sooo light and is actually quite comfortable after some adjusting. I just took the whole weight tray out to make it even lighter. It's a huge difference compared to the standard grip (I don't like the precision grip, the texture bothers me). I still am overshooting some stuff because of how light it is but I think I should be fine after some adjusting.

I'm always disappointed that everyone who uses the G9X never have the LEDs in colours other than red or blue. I always have mine as hot pink. It's so bright set like that.

Deathadder, and I love it. Perfect replacement for my old MS intelli 3.0.

Got one of these kinda cheap a while ago and just stuck with it. Sidewinder x3

The buttons just behind the scroll wheel are on the fly dpi switchers, but if you install the software you can choose exactly what each level is, so I'm almost never off the medium setting tbh.

It is just the Logitech mini optical but with a ladybug skin. Took me forever to find and buy this mouse. I think I spent about a year looking but I finally got it.

30 minutes and two won ladder games later, I went directly to amazon and ordered my new mouse, which was dirt cheap (around € 9,99), to be honest.

I'd like to quote this since I bought this mouse for my laptop at work and I'm loving it.

It's running at "just" 1000 DPI, but that can be adjusted after all. What really makes this mouse special is the design. The picture displayed doesn't do justice to it's looks; it's simply sleak and sexy. One of the best looking mice I've ever had. And, as mentioned in the quote, it's dirt cheap.

I could imagine it working well with SC2 as well since it's easily palm and/or finger/claw-grippable (is that even a word?). Weight is a little higher than that of my Salmosa at home, but then again the Salmosa is one of the lightest mice around.

I know FruitDealer use this mouse (or at least used to) with the black "control friendly" grip.

Was interesting how one guy used it without the grips on. I tried it and kind of liked it. Comparing it to small mice like Steelseries Kinzu and Razer Salmose I actually preferred the "hacked" g9x ^^

Won't be using it though as mice that small hurts my hands but to anyone liking small mice - try it out

EDIT: Oh god, I just LOVE how the mouse feels without any of the grips on. It's like the high-DPI version of Logitech Optical Mini.

you need really small hands to use it without the grip i'm 6'1" anything but the widegrip on the G9x is unacceptable!

How's the tracking on that thing? I'm not worried about DPI, but I am worried about skipping/odd behaviour at high movement speeds, or negative/positive acceleration.
I play Quake 3CPM as well, so any mouse that I use must be able to at least match my Deathadder in that regard.

It is expensive but its fully adjustable in almost every aspect and has weights in it which you can swap around. 5200DPI with the choice between 4 different settings which i think are 1600, 3400, 4800 and 5200.

I didn't really want to advertise the mouse as a high tech gaming product, you seem to have gotten the wrong impression there. I just liked the design and remembered having seen it in this mouse thread before; that the person I quoted actively uses it for SC2 is an added bonus. You might want to PM him if you're interested in technical details / feedback, as I'll only be using the mouse for work and won't monitor pixel skipping or anything of the likes. Pretty solid performance so far when browsing or working through documents, but that's about all I can say .).

Just wanted to post since I saw this just now posted up on EVGA forums. Crazpc.com is going out of business and has few decent mouses which are now 50% off when you get to checkout page. Just heads up for anyone needing a reason to pick up a mouse they might carry right now. Enjoy to anyone who picks up a new mouse!

I own/owned huge number of mouses and i could say that is my fetish ^^ (from some really old mouses i don't even know their names to mx500, mx518, g500, g1, g3, g9, copperhead, deathadder, lachesis, some wireless shit, magic mouse, mighty mouse) ATM there is 1 that suits my grip perfectly and its abyssus. It has no annoying thumb buttons that i never use, same optical sensor as DA and its low weight feels amazing for RTS, together with low-profile shape that really feels comfortable for my hand. However, There are few cons I would love to get better; shiny lower part of mouse that gets dirty easily which you have to clean pretty often cause you can feel dirt on it when holding mouse. also tracking on some surfaces that are not designed for mouse (like desk, blankets etc...) but with mousepads it tracks perfectly (tested on goliathus speed/control, qck+, func, icemat and some cheap pads). Abyssus minimalistic design stand out over any other mouse for me

I used a Razer deathadder forever, then it died a terrible death, I got a Razer Lachesis, it's great for left handed users, but I don't like how you can't use all the buttons on it for keybinds in various games with just razer drivers ><

most reliable mouse ever

i think hb uses it too
:D


my older comp came with this too, pretty decent, but dont got software support... i like the logitech software support with increase acceleration..



MIcrosoft is the best mouse, very sturdy and with a really nice definition, if u are in windows XP u can overclock the sample rate, otherwise its still great. Why acceleration? play in a bigger surface, that gives u more pressition

Steelseries Kinzu. It's so incredibly cheap, it's well built, it's steelseries so I'm confident in customer service/support. Tracking is very good, SC2 has no need for more than 3 buttons (might be a problem for mmo players). I even have big meaty claws for hands but I find it comfortable for some reason. Also ambidextrous.

I bought the deathadder which I completely regret buying, $50 that won't be put to good use. It has 5600dpi capabilities but I set it to 900. I should have just gotten a standard office mouse. Honestly for SC the best mouse is just the one you are most comfortable with, same with the keyboard..

I was using the deathadder, but now that I'm strictly playing Starcraft I'm using the abyssus. The lighter weight and lower profile feels great for Starcraft . First time I think I've been really happy with a mouse right away. I'm also not getting the jitter problems that people have reported with the abyssus, which I've heard was possibly fixed by Razer in the last batch.

What can you say about logitech g1?


best g series mouse by far imo, probably my 2nd favourite, to bad my has some random dc issues (probably cable problem, but it lasted really long and worked flawlessly till few months ago), but its really great and simple mouse, minimalistic look without many extra buttons, feels really solid (g9 for example feels loose cause of their plastic grips that never fit perfectly, its much better to play with it without grips but its not comfortable as some other mouses) and comfortable in hand, for that price u cant go wrong with G1

Anyone else using this mouse? Doesn't seem like this mouse is very popular.

I wanted to add to this thread, which i browsed a lot before buying a new mouse.

I switched from the DA to the Rat.7 and i prefer the rat so much more. I have it set up so it fits my hand perfectly and the clicks are a lot more tactile, so my micro has improved greatly.

Thanks to everyone who posted opinions, leading me to buy this great mouse.

Got myself a deathadder black edition after my steelseries ikari inexplicably stopped working for the second time..... Awesome mouse feels amazing, fits perfectly would recommend it to anyone. Now if only steelseries would finally process my order that they've already charged me for ill be a happy man, 3 weeks after i actually order my keyboard maybe it'll be shipped.... steelseries customer support ftw ^_^

Just got a G9x, gotta say very impressed. So far I'm going with the fat grip, I dislike the grippy texture on the thin one. Put on all the weight cause I'm used to a heavy mouse, playing around with DPI settings, hovering around 2800-3500 for general use.

I've got a G9x as well, however I'm starting to want a lighter-weight mouse, I have none of the weights in and I still feel it's too heavy. I do a lot of high micro builds, so I rely heavily on my mouse accuracy and speed. (e.g. mass hellions to deal with zergling baneling zergs who skip mutas and are uber greedy). I've been looking at a lot of mice, and it seems that the steelseries ikari or one of their other high-end laser engine mice would suite my needs well, anyone have any feedback?

I presume you've tried it without any grip? It's incredibly light that way, and works well if you're a fingertip gripper.

I just got my Razer Abyssus and it is so lighter than my MX518 and I love it. My hands were always tired after using mx518 for too long. It is lighter than logitech g1 and only 4g more than logitech mini optical mouse which was used by many many pro sc2 gamers.

Edit: I don't really feel comfortable using this mouse. Lol it is strucuted weird than deathadder or mx518 I own. Deathadder feels exactly right for me. I might return this mouse and order a Logitech g1. Anyone used deathadder and used g1 that can tell me how they feel different?

I put all the weights on cause I'm used to a heavy mouse, so it doesn't really bother me...idk. So far the mouse feels really good, I like the tactile feel of the mouse buttons, the movement is very responsive (turned off acceleration in the menus) and I really like it so far.
edit- with continued use, I've notice that I don't exactly like the scroll wheel click- it requires a bit too much force for my tastes. It's not that I don't like a clicky/firm scroll wheel, it's that the G9x seems to take it too far, so that I can't click it as fast or as easily as I want to sometimes. Might be something that I just have to get used to.

I used to love mx518 but i bought new mx518 about 6 months ago. After my old one was like 6-7 years old and found they changed mouse feet on it, to these big bulky mouse feet, it feels really bad now i don't like the new mouse feet one bit.

I've used my mx517 for years, it's really the best it gets for me. I recently won a coolermaster mouse at a tournament but I'm thinking about switching back to the logitech.

Does anyone know why they don't sell logitech g1 or mx300 in any store in US? My parents are saying no to buy them from korea and I don't want to wait like 3 weeks to get a mouse. Does anyone know a website they sell them at other than ebay?

I think they discountinued them. I searched google as well as major electronic retailers and all I found was out of stock listings.

Just picked up a Rat 7. Stupid thing looks like a train wreck, and feels like a brick after my Sidewinder x5, that one I added as much weight as I could to make it heavy enough, the Rat 7 I took all the weights out and I'm still having to get used to the heavier weight.

All that said, I like the silly thing.

I was wondering about buying other mouses. I've tried a few but have settled on the deathadder. Its probably the most solid mouse you can get today and has everything you need for SC 2. It feels great and I love it and might not use another mouse ever.

Besides that I wanted to try the Steelseries Ikari and Logitech 650 to see if they are any good

I use the Razer Naga Epic, i love this thing so much, and the buttons on the side really don't annoy me when I play.

I use some MSI mouse that came with the laptop. It's the only one I got and it's actually quit good with the exceptions that the scroll wheel feels like there's a gum stuck in it or something, cause it requires some badass micro to actually make it work, and the arrow keys on it are kind of like the on/off button on lamps.. They make a lot of sound and u gotta push em in really hard (No. Don't go there).

Otherwise I like it alot. You can change the speed and whatnot in three different modes, all of which have come in handy at different points. Probably gonna buy a nice mouse from razer or so next time I need one, just because the name 'razer' sounds pretty awesome.

That's generally how I pick up new hardware by the way.

I just bought myself a Razer Abyssus. So far, I am happy with my purchase. I like that there isn't any software to mess with; that I can change my settings on the physical hardware whenever I want to.

I use i Logitech mx518. Have had it for 2 years and i have to replace it soon. The buttons stopped working a while ago so i had to open it and remove some crap that had got inside. It's just that when i put it together i forgot some things so the scroll has no resistance and the pads underneath wouldn't go back on. I had put a sticker on so it feels smooth when i move it around. Well here's a picture ^^
