New wireless mouse...not crazy expensive!

Hi all

I currently have a Microsoft Optical Wireless Mouse 2.0 which I use for FPS gaming no problem....but the left click is starting to go so I need a new one.....any recommendations? I dont want to pay loads as I think the one I have now is fine and that cant be that great.....

Been looking at the Logitech M510 Wireless Mouse or the GIGABYTE ECO600......??

Well looking around its hard to get a mouse with all good reviews.....hmmmmm

Does it really have to be wireless? just get a damn good wired mouse such as the Logitech G400 or G500+Boogie pad.

My desk is always such a mess....the wire would always be caught....

g700 is an awesome mouse, might be a bit more than you want to spend though

Another wireless mouse (and keyboard) fan here!

For those who don't play games which require super fast reaction times or whatever the wireless ones are fine, and as has just been said, they do help keep the desktop a lot tidier.

Logitech often have some in damaged boxes on their 'special offers' page, and I recently picked up a B605 for about £16, I think it was, with which I am very pleased.

Yeah £55-£60 is too much.....the GIGABYTE ECO600 is only £18......my max is £30ish I reckon...

I checked the "Special offers" page....just a pink mouse there.....

It's only the second mouse I've ever owned, but it's bigger than a normal cheap point of sale mouse. I got it as a kit with the keyboard, but the keyboard is failing so I have to return both. I'm getting a logitech MX518 tomorrow, so I can compare it with that.

I think I will grab a USB mouse from work tomorrow to see if I can live with a cable....if not just buy a wireless one....

I got an MS Wireless Mouse 4000 for under £15 from a well-known auction site. Liked it so much I got another one for the laptop. I have a small hand so it suits me just fine, but each hand is different...

Oh I just remembered one thing that does annoy me about the Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000. It has a smooth scroll wheel. You can almost feel no feedback from scrolling. It's a bit annoying not having any 'notching'.

Well I tried a wired mouse.....it just wont work on the mess I call my desk....

Fair enough

Sorry can't really help with wireless mice I just try to avoid them.
