Gaming Mouse Recommendations

Kazujo

Has anyone got any recommendations for gaming mice? I have a MS inteli eye at the moment but the left button has started jamming and causing a real pain while gaming.

Hear hear on the MX510 - I bought one from PixMania.com only last week. Bloody superb so it is.

They have it in red and blue

8e delivery, I ordered it on Thursday, and I got it on Tuesday (3 working days - DHL)
Pretty damn cool

I've decided to atempt some mouse corrective surgery.

The problem is tha he left button is not returning properly and holding the switch down, so I'm goin to try and fix a spring inside the mouse for ensure that the button rises properly. Yes I know exactly how silly that sounds but.... why not?

That mouse does look sweet much I'm a bit strapped for € at the mo

Mx510, get one, less hasle than repairing you old mouse and it should improve your shot acuracy.

The hassle I dont really mind I enjoy this kinda thing. The only thing wrong is the return action on the button other than that I love the feel of the mouse I have.

while ordering some stuff i decided to get a new mouse
i got the Razer Diamondback (magma) because it's pretty and red and glows
OH SWEET JESUS is it smooooooth

not to everyone's tastes though, the shape is a little different and the button(s) on the right hand side (that you use with your pinky) are hard to use so I don't really bother with them.

I hear many good things about the MX510 though.

I've had a logitech Dual optical for quite some time now and I must say, I love it.

Nice comfy and accurate.

where ya pick it up from koneko and how do you find it compared to the mx1000?

zoro

Kazujo: MS Intellimouse's (mice? ) have been known to feck up on the left button.

My own used to double click when I pressed it once for about 80% of the clicks that I actually made. Bloody annoying I tell you. Another reason for my mouse change ... and I'm damn happy too!

Still though, I did like the intellimouse

koneko

So much better than the mx1000, it's a grand mouse but this is so much smoother. The MX1000 is quite heavy aswell, and I don't have big hands so it can get annoying in-game sometimes. I thought the MX1000 was grand before until I tried this one

Got it from Jes.de

Some people find them flimsy but they are brilliant for playing games with.Have my one bout 3yrs or so and its class
Logitech Trackman Cordless is nice but do ya need it?

I have a logitech mouseman wheel (optical). Must be coming up on 5-6 years old now.Still working fine.

Seen a lot of satisfied Razer Diamondback customers and a lot of satisfied MX510 customers around alright - shape of that put me off, much prefer the shape of the MX510.

koneko

yeah it's definitely a matter of preference, the shape is a bit different alright. It's very flat, light, and the two main buttons are very big. Your hand is in a little bit of a different position than with ergonomic shaped mice like the new Microsoft ones and the MX series. I have small-ish hands I guess so the shape suits me fine, but I can definitely see how it wouldn't suit everyone.

yes this is an excellent mouse! i have mine since last feburary and i wouldnt change it for anything in the world! its the most comfortabel mouse you could ever use!

I've been thinking of setting myself up the Viper or Diamondback as of late - I used a Boomslang back in my Quaking days and it rocked my box0rs. I've yet to sample Razer's newer models though.

Me too! Likes it so much I bought a second one as a spare. Now on a 2nd PC. Great mice. I think they don't make them anymore though : (

Had a Razor 2000 and hated it. They seem to forget about the ergonomics everytime.

CombatCow

Aye i have the mx510 but i broke the left click button from slamming it down on the desk too many times, so i got the mx1000......

And that's when my pain started...''Worst Mouse Ever''...it's ****ing horrible in a sense that evan if you lift up the mouse 1-2mm off the mat and put it back down the cursor jumps a few inches...you can see how this really helps your aim in instagib ut2k4 and css when your turning around fast and have to lift the mouse a bit. :eek:

I was in contact with logitech tech support but they just gave me the usual..reinstall the drivers blah blah blah..which didnt help, then i found 45 pages of posts in another forum with ppl having the same issue with this mouse.

Needless to say dont touch this mouse if you'r a gamer... :mad:

I have the MX1000 and I dont have any problems with it. I use it to play a lot of games and I never had any problems even when lifting it up the map. I guess I'm just lucky. I have never used MX510 but in comparison with my old mouse, which was a microsoft wireless mouse, the MX1000 is by far a lot better. I dont get any lag in any of the games.

i've used a varity of mice and i play CS daily, so i know the importance of a good mouse, the one i'm particular with is the MS intelli v3.0.

they are discontinued now, but that's why i have two of them in reserve, they really are the best mouse (i think)

tuxy

ya i agree cremo thats the mouse i use
i just didnt recomend it because it has been discontinued

kinkstr

i purchased the mx510 yesterday (good man loobz )
been playing call of duty united offensive all day on it and it has improved my accuracy,if my spelling is bad it's because gaming all day has fried my brain
i doubt you ll find a better mouse than this sexy lil thing

Kazujo

Well working better atleast. I hot glued a few aprings into my mouse and it is now seems to be a hell of a lot more relable on the left button albeit slightly heavier to press, once it stops jamming I'm happy. I'll upload some pics later.

Kazujo

Awell it was worth a shot. I'll have to have a look at one of the Logitechs the next time I'm out. I prefer the feel of the MS but the Logitech could possibly change my opinion

BloodBath

Logitech make the best mice tbh. I have the older version of the mx510, the mx500. Bloody excellent mouse. Fits like a glove and great for games and desktop use.
