Hey,

I am on an old Logitech G5 at the moment, and I do like it. But, the design is getting really old now and the tech is not much newer.

I was wondering if anyone has the G700 or RAT or anything newer.

In particular, if you have the above but have big hands like I do.

Cheers

I'm in the same boat as you. Used a razer (Death Adder) and didn't like it after the G5.

Only one elimination. But I'm still looking for a wired mouse that's 2000dpi and better.

The main issue I face with the G5, is my thumb scrapes the mouse mat, it's the only way I feel comfortable gripping it. But is annoying when playing games that require a high reaction speed as I grip harder and friction increases.

Just my $0.02. Subbed to the thread.
 
But how big are your hands Unbreakable?

I tried the Death Adder too, my hands are way too long for it, I was pressung the buttons with the middle of my finger and not the tip. I also found it felt really cheap.

My friend has a G9, I may have to borrow that for a go again, but that is really tiny. Tiny mice + massive hands = RSI.
 
I have fairly long fingers I guess and it suits me. You would really need to try one out to be sure though. Im not sure on the size vs a deathadder but its a lot chunkyer then my old copperhead.
 
I was thinking of going for the G700 over the RAT 7, but with being able to custom fit the RAT to the size of your hand I thought it a much better choice. And after receiving it I'm glad I did.

You also want to take into consideration whether you claw or palm your mouse, as the G700 is a palm type mouse, and the RAT is what ever you want it to be.
 
The Steelseries Xai is apparantly a very respectable option to consider. It trades fancy looks for functionality, and also 'apparently' is far better suited to larger hands than mice such as the Deathadder. I don't own one, but I've heard several people rave about them.
 
Big hands?
Im picking up the Razer Imperator on monday for that very reason.
Pricey? Yeah, but at least I can pick up instore (from a competitor near me) so no postage cost :D
I'll let you know what I think
 
Also, just seen the RAT9 on here. As I keep standing on the lead for my G5 due to gaming on the sofa, I have to ask: How is wireless for mice now? Back in the day it was pretty 'meh'. It must be better now, just like using a cable, anyone used wireless lately?
 
So, no input lag for games?

I seem to recall that nice basically went to sleep if you didnt move them, thus adding a wake up lag, which was bad when sniping and you dont move for a second or two... is that still the case?
