Best gaming mouse

Daveybhoy · 20 Oct 2008 at 19:00

Hi Guys,

This might be a preference thing more than anything, but I'm looking at getting a new gaming mouse. At the moment I have the logitech mx518, I was thinking about getting the razer diamondback or copperhead.

Can anyone recommend which is best, or even if there are newer/better ones out there?

Thanks

Kone.

Beautifull mouse to use

Keep your 518.

Just got a Razer Deathadder, it's fantastic. Comfortable, very accurate with a half decent surface, and great for gaming.

Use whatever mouse you feel most comfortable with, the mx518 and the Deathadder are regarded as the best mice for FPS though.

Get one that's comfortable for your style.

Have a look on the Razer website, there's a guide somewhere to which shapes and types of mice are suitable for different styles and methods of holding the mouse. I found it quite insightful, and helpful.

I was originally planning to buy a Lachesis to replace my trusty 518, but after reading up about it I decided to get a Deathadder instead as I think it would be more suitable for my needs.

Arrives today hopefully.

* FIRST POST ! so hello everyone

I need to replace my Logitech MX510, as the wheel is starting to play up - I find it a tiny bit big at times. Are Razer mice smaller?

Welcome to the forum!!

If you want I'll get some comparison shots between a MX518 (same size as a MX510 i think) and a deathadder when I get home.

If you would, that'd be great, cheers

(this is like an admission that I have small, girl-like hands, but hey....

I've been using the Logitech G5 gaming mouse for almost a year now and can't fault it

death adder

benjo · 21 Oct 2008 at 12:18

+1 for DeathAdder. Great mouse

neon.uk · 21 Oct 2008 at 12:27

Deathadder here aswell, superb mouse

Snograt · 21 Oct 2008 at 12:31

Microsoft Sidewinder. Solid, dependable, high-precision - only thing possibly lacking is extra buttons. It "only" has two extras.

Deluxe1 · 21 Oct 2008 at 12:31

Deathadder.

Wolv34ine · 21 Oct 2008 at 12:34

Given the shape you have got used to in the 518, why not get a G5 second revison? Same shape, but with a laser reader and weights. As well as being a good deal more sturdy than the 518.
All of my friends have one of these after trying several mice.

g5 rev 1 + g5 rev 2 user here, only thing i would potentially take over one of them is the new Kone mouse.
