I still use a Logitech G5, pity me.

i used to swear by my razer deathadder.

then i bought a sharkoon fireglider as a backup but like it so much the deathadder is now my backup mouse.

you can get them for just over £20 online and in my eyes they are one of the best bargains out there.

This thread reminded me that I could do with a new mouse.

I'm currently using a cheapo wireless mouse. It was only meant to be temporary when I finally chucked my MS IntelliMouse out but I ended up using it for quite a while.

Having the ability to move the mouse around with zero resistance from an attached cable is brilliant under any application but the mouse itself isn't great.

So I thought I'd check out the latest and greatest in wireless mice and wow they're expensive.

I bought the original DeathAdder, I think 6 years ago, only now it's starting to have an issue. Middle click sometimes registers twice.

It's had some very heavy use.

Going to replace it with another DeathAdder!

Deathadder 2013

I need a new mousemat though for it but can't decide which one, I think it would perform better on a hard mat instead of cloth.

I upgraded to a Corsair Vengeance M65 mouse recently and have been very happy with it.... I would highly recommend.

I use a 2012 razer mamba and have only ever had connection issues with it. I won't be buying a razer mouse again let alone a wireless one.

I will say however that when it works it is great, just way too unreliable.

logitech g400

I had a razer copperhead before and the difference going from that to a g400 is night and day, had to use the razer in claw grip and it made my hand ache, get nothing like that with the g400 as its palm.

I have a Logitech G3, I dont pity you.

In fact I am having trouble getting something to replace it as I just love the G3. Its a sign telling me to keep it.

I got myself a steelseries sensei raw earlier this year and have been very happy with it , worth a look.

TheBDog · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:46

I have a MadCatz R.A.T 5 and I love it. Bit of an unusual design but incredibly comfortable to use.

Would recommend.

Razer Deathadder!

Hurlbag · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:52

I personally use a Logitech G9x without the shells - it's the most comfortable thing i've ever used, and i've had the G5, Razer Deathadder and Microsoft Intellimouse (long ago - but that was very comfortable).

I have big hands and grip the mouse solely with my fingertips so I think that's why such a narrow mouse works so well for me - everything is easier to do.
Big hands = small mouse, try it.

OLDPHART · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:53

l would recommend the Logitech G9x, but they don't make them anymore. Don't know what l would chose when it goes.

Hurlbag · 4 Dec 2013 at 16:58

They are a lot more scarce since I bought mine, tons newly packaged were on ebay but I can only see a few now

Huggie86 · 4 Dec 2013 at 17:03

I've also got the previous gen Deathadder and love it so much.

The old intellimouse really was just a brilliant piece of hardware.

Does anyone run their mouse through a USB hub? I find the cable for mine occasioanlly drags annoyingly at the edge of the desk (it's actually worn through the braiding), so was considering getting a desktop hub to fix in place, then plug the mouse in through it, but I'm concerned it will add some form of lag or something else I've not considered.
