That list is fairly up to day so it's still mostly 400-800 in CS GO

In windows you really need to have it set to 6/11 over 6 can skip pixels and under can disregard some movement.

After that any cobo of DPI and game sensitivity is probably fine in most games.
If I was to use 6400 DPI then I would need something like 0.2 sensitivity in CS, lowering sensitivity that much is not possible in every game.

Ah right I see. Guess though different games are different. Remember lads playing CS with keyboards sideways and using arrow keys back in the day

So after I got my Razer Mamba I noticed that my old DeathAdder on my PC is just not as good and my aim really suffers from it, its very old now and even software does not recognize it. So decided to get myself a new mouse. Unfortunately not Argos or PC world had any DeathAdder in stock in Limerick. So I sow Logitech g502 for 69.99eu in stock. Above my budget, but feck it, I need one and my birthday this Month, looked okay for reviews.
Went in to shop found g502 and as I was about to go I sow they had 1 DeathAdder Elite left 49.99eu! Sweet! Picked up and now playing with it. I am happy I can keep same style ergonomics between my laptop mouse and desktop one.

I bought the G502 this time last year as a backup and recently switched to it after my old mouse started to double click on a single click.
Ive grown to really like the G502, fingers crossed it lasts a while, how old is yours?

I reckon the logitech G pro wireless would feel similar for you, wireless i know but the wireless ones listed by RJN perform better than most wired :eek:

I had a G502 as well - great mouse until I also got this double-click problem with it. It was under warranty, so I got it replaced and the same thing happened with the replacement mouse after only a couple of months.

I'm done with Logitech now - I've only ever had problems with their stuff in terms of build quality.

Homelander · 25-04-2020 2:20pm

Surely people with those sort of insane DPI's like 5000 must be using like a fraction of 0.2 or something with in-game sensitivity?

Most pros are at 400-800 with 1.5-3 range. Personally I'm 800 DPI with around 2 in-game.

I bought the G502 recently and best purchase I ever made.

Dcully · 25-04-2020 4:45pm

Yeah i use a very low mouse sensitivity in games,its the ultra light weight that becomes unmissable once you experience it.
My new model O- developed a cable issue a while back and overclockers replaced it but were very awkward to deal with which was a first for well over a decade of purchases from them.
The replacement is lovely buy my trusty G502 served me well meanwhile- even it it felt like a brick compared to the Model O.

I'm a Razer DeathAdder guy. I've always had them and just recently upgraded to the Razer DeathAdder V2, loving it

I also got a new gaming mat

Hopefully you don't get the waves on that mousepad. I had two and sent them both back for refunds.

XrayPad Equate Plus is the one i use now. Very nice balance of speed and control.

I did have to return the first Razer Goliathus Extended Chroma as it felt the mouse was sliding over gravel (if that makes sense)

Dcully · 03-10-2020 12:45pm

Just a heads up if anyone runs into the notorious cable issue with the Glorious Model O an O- .
The cable connection loses connection after a while, happened to me so i sent back to overclockers, they guaranteed me the newer mouse with the ascended cable which fixes the issue.
Sadly they sent me one of the older model but in the new Ascended box, scummy move for sure as it was clear the mouse was used too.
They refused to send me the Ascended version so after much discussion i decided to keep it knowing full well it would end up the same as the last one.
The inevitable happened after about 5 months but they refused to pay shipping returns again for RMA same as with the first mouse so i told them where to go.
Meanwhile i had contacted Glorious who request a video of the issue and serial number they sent me on a new Ascended cable and video on how to install which was very easy, totally FREE.

Doubt ill buy from ocuk again, 15+ years buying from there.

Mr Crispy · 03-10-2020 3:12pm

Yeah, OcUK are fine until you have an issue with a purchase, and then I've found them awful. I hoped they'd improve under CaseKing, but they seem to be getting worse.

30eur for the Core, 60eur for Pro.

Might get the latter to compare to my Kain 122.

Also you should all check this tool:

gizmo · 05-10-2020 2:50pm

Any experience of the Logitech G640 or Corsair MM250 mats here by any chance?

New desk on the way which means more space for a larger pad so looking at something new. I've had a few QcKs over the years and really liked them and more recently I've been using a CM Swift-RX whose surface I've enjoyed but the stitched edge bothers me.

It's this latter reason why I'm leaning toward discounting the Zowie G-SR from the list so it's likely one of the two above or just a QcK+.

Was thinking the same. Love the shape of my Kain, but would be nicer to have it a bit lighter.

RJN is now designing his own mouse, in collaboration with an as of yet unnamed company.

For me it's MS Intellimouse, before the recent reintroduction it got to the stage where I was seriously considering spending €300 plus on older models of it.

They go for that much?? Pretty sure I have mine sitting in a drawer somewhere, great mouse they were. I've tried several Logitech and Razer mice since but settled on the Endgame Gear XM1 - nice and light like the Intellimouse but feels better again - by far the most comfortable mouse I've ever used.

Didnt realise tht OC's changed, i haven't used them in years but were fantastic back in 2008 when i had a mobo that wouldnt POST and they cross posted a new one(i asked for different mobo and paid the difference ) before receiving the one i sent them.

Disappointing that they're not great now but i suppose with brexit anyway it wont matter much.

Oh, I've spent a few grand with them over the years, but they've gone downhill recently (in my experience anyway).

Yes on Ebay and Amazon they did. I bought 2 new about 10 years ago and when the last gave up the ghost tried to source another and that's the price they were going. Wouldn't mind but when I bought the last batch from someone in Ireland they were offloading them for €15/20 a go.

23-12-2020 8:50am

I bought a Model O Wireless to tide me over until the XM1 Wireless. XM1 is definitely the best mouse i've used. Just don't like cables.

The problem with any mouse review is that, selfishly, they use their hand!

Mr Crispy · 31-03-2021 9:40am

I see gearsearch.gg is no longer a thing, which is a damn shame as it was great for comparing mouse size and shape. Does anyone know of any similar resources?

31-03-2021 1:36pm

I'm sure Rocket Jump Ninja has all the comparisons you need on his site.

A few months ago, I needed a new mouse after a quick search I ended up with the G305. I'm very satisfied with it.
Initially I thought it was back heavy, due to the battery location but I've adapted and don't even notice the weight.

Only thing that I would look out for if I was getting a new one is the fact I would prefer for the right-hand-side rear to be slightly lower (think 4 and 5 o'clock).

As a matter of interest, do you find yourself accidentally hitting the right side mouse buttons when gripping the mouse?

Thinking about moving to a wireless mouse setup at home and while the Deathadder V2 Pro would be a straight-swap, it looks like the Viper may actually be a better size for my hand and grip type. The DAs have an ergonomic shape though, hence only have buttons on the left side which I never touch with the way I hold the mouse.

my g502 died the other day..im in need of a replacement..i have big hands..any suggestions fellas?

Best bet is to start at RJN's website. Should narrow you down to a few recommendations.

I swapped from the logi g903. To directly answer your question no you should really be able to click them and they're unassigned anyway by default.

My biggest gripe about the mouse is the DPI switch button is under the mouse. I tend to play 800 in game and 1600 on dual screen desktop so it's irksome. Although.... I've just wondered can that be assigned to the side buttons I don't use.... I must go look....

EDIT: OMG you can.... well that's handy!

Excellent, cheers man.

Not just to sit and stare at the Amazon page until the version with the docking station comes back down in price.

I just bought the mouse only version. It was too good a price on amazon at the time to be bothered waiting for the dock which would just take up room on the desk anyway. The cable it comes with is great, super light and flexible.

The kicker is that it was cheaper than the standard version for half of the last month, just not the half I was thinking about buying a mouse. The difference is only twenty quid now like, it's just that it brings it over that £100 threshold which is a bit of a mental barrier for me when it comes to a mouse purchase.

I've actually moved on to the G Pro X Superlight but didn't have an issue with the side buttons on the Viper.

Yikes.... I bought the mouse only on Amazon for $136aud.

fwiw I swapped because my G903 had intermittent double clicking and I wasn't confident the G pro wireless wouldn't ultimately suffer the same fate but having said that there's be no particular change in my aim or lack thereof so unless you're in dire need I don't see a reason to rush to make a change. Sure it's a nice mouse but I wouldn't be throwing out heaps of money on it.

Oh, nice! The price here is definitely gone screwy, as of this morning the mouse only option is £109.55 whereas the mouse with station is £108.99. Said station can currently be bought from the same retailer for the low low price of £72.42. :pac:

Yea, not in a massive rush to be honest. My current DA is perfectly functional and while I'm sure going with wireless and a smaller body will be a nice QoL improvement, I'm happy to keep it in the wishlist till it drops a little.

I had that same issue with my G903. Returned it, got a replacement and that one too suffered the same issue within a few weeks. It seems to be a really widespread problem. I had build quality issues with Logitech headsets in the past as well so to be honest, I now avoid Logitech like the plague.

I have a Razer Basilisk Ultimate and it's excellent.
