What make of mouse do you game with?

zamac_man · May 10, 2005, 10:33 AM

some wirless microsoft. I got it and a wireless keyboard for like $25

aaronbond · May 10, 2005, 04:06 PM

some wal-mart cheapo Logitech mouse I got 3 years back. It's laser and corded. Not an MX not even 1337. Think it cost me $15. I play CS 1.6 and was in cal-im with it and when I go to LAN parties I get laughed @ because I own with it. Who cares... a mouse is a mouse.

bug77 · May 11, 2005, 09:36 AM

You guys are weak. (j/k) I use an optical wireless A4Tech!!! Don't know the exact model, but it's pretty good. FPS included.

I'd get an MX518, but Logitechs are pretty expensive over here (100+ USD for the MX1000) and the 518 is not available yet

cheese_thief · May 11, 2005, 11:29 PM

I got a Razer Diamondback with the eXactMat + wrist rest. 1600dpi of super-awsome-mouse-goodness! I love the on-the-fly sensitivity changing feature, but I wish it had more of a range of senstitivity, and that the X and Y sensitivity values would stay porportional to each other. But this mouse is the best I've ever used!

Gardinen · May 12, 2005, 06:32 AM

I have now replaced my Logitech MX 1000 to the MX518.
Yes...I've changed into a lower modell, but the wireless is not for me. I did not like the latency and the feeling that the mouse was a little after my moves.

The MX518 is a quite nice mouse, although I've only been using it for about half an hour so...
problems might pop-up.

OvrClockIt · May 12, 2005, 11:06 AM

I bought my logitech MX510 when it first came out, my dog chewed the first one up after a week and i ended having to go buy anotherone, works great

Rox271 · May 12, 2005, 02:12 PM

I own all the current high-end mouses on my various machines (MX518, MX1000, Diamondback, only Intellimouse 3.0 though)... funny thing is, I mostly use an older Razer 2100 dpi ball mouse for gaming.

Am thinking of picking up a trackball sometime, I can't game with them, but find them real comfortable for other work.

Ðamage™ · Jul 21, 2005, 03:13 PM

Logitech mx-510 mouse, and with the mouserate switcher i'm @ 1000.

Good enough for my.. owning people @ gaming.

swimtech · Jul 21, 2005, 03:37 PM

Genica! GN-110 two button with button/scroll wheel. If ordered alone, the shipping costs more than the mouse.

Blazer · Jul 23, 2005, 01:00 PM

I finally ordered a logitec mx518, and should be getting it in a few days. One thing about Logitec, their customer support is awsome.

My old mx310's usb cable stopped working last week, I called them up, explaned the problem, and on thursday I got a new mx310 in the mail !!

now I have an unopened spare mx310, because I am getting a mx518 !

fire1811 · Jul 23, 2005, 05:33 PM

I ended up upgrading my MX700 for a MX1000 and I can honestly say it was well worth it. Best mouse I have ever owned.

Mr cairo · Jul 23, 2005, 06:56 PM

upgraded from a ms optical to a logitech 510 last week

daedal · Jul 23, 2005, 07:25 PM

Razer Plasma LE.

yoda133113 · Jul 23, 2005, 08:04 PM

I recently went from an intelimouse 4.0 to a mx510, there are things I miss from the intellimouse, but over all I'm happy, I wish the 510 was a bit taller like the ms one, and the tilt wheel on the ms one was an awesome feature for working on his res pictures, but I think i like the mx 510 more, but both rock

Gaijin · Aug 14, 2005, 04:37 AM

Logitech MX518, it performs like a dream.

kelticknight · Aug 14, 2005, 09:53 AM

logitech mx518 and mx1000,both super mices al all respects

cragga36 · Jan 6, 2006, 10:50 AM

MX510 - Tempted to go laser Copperhead or G5

g35x · Jan 6, 2006, 12:44 PM

i just got a mx510 for xmas way better then those cheap microsoft ones =D...how u likeing that opteron cragga?

>GSXR<mrbusa · Jan 6, 2006, 01:06 PM

i ended up getting a logitech G5 and oh gee i love it.got some good feet for it and have the weights set up just right and my frag level went up by atleast 20%.i did have the drivers installed when i first got it because 2000dpi was just to fast so i made a custom dpi of 1800 until i got used to it.now i run constent 2000dpi and no need for the drivers.they are kinda bloated anyhow and use about 10mb of resources to run in the background.also i could never quite get the game detection system down and gave up and that is all the drivers are really good for.even without the drivers you can set 2000,800,and 400 dpi.i really recommend this mouse to anybody and is well worth the price.later

I recently switched from my Microsoft IntelliMouse and got a Logitech G5, and I'm loving it, now all there is to do is waste my money on a few extra keys and an LCD screen (G15 Keyboard) .

big_D · Mar 1, 2006, 02:59 PM

Sorry for bumping the thread...

I have a MX1000 Laser, but I find the battery life very disappointing. I usually find the battery lasts 2 days if I'm lucky, and I haven't played any games with it recently. After the MS Intellimouse wireless I had, which used one set of battries for a couple of months of intensive gaming, the MX1000 is a bit disappointing in the battery life department, but it is the most comfortable and fastest mouse I have ever used.

For the MMORPGs I play it is great, although I haven't played a FPS in donkies years. I think the last FPS I played was C&C Renegade...

Matth · Mar 2, 2006, 09:57 AM

Logitech OEM cordless Desktop:

Rechargables in mouse (eats batteries).
Original set of duracells in keyboard, though key letters are wearing off extremely badly - rather disappointed with Logitech on that.

On old system:
Typhoon/Anubis cordless (suffered the PSU failure that seems to be endemic to that model)

Chic Optical (wired) - great mouse, even better drivers, with a smart scroll function that worked far better than anything I've had before or since. The only make I'd consider now! Though the metallic finish has worn off, it still sits on the shelf as my standby.

Al_Vampyre · Mar 2, 2006, 11:15 AM

Logitech MX-510...love it, fits my hand perfectly, nice weight and good responses...
