Best FPS gaming mouse

delpy8 · 5 Nov 2012 at 15:50

Hi all,

At the moment using 1 excellent white ZowieEC1 mouse,

What is better for gaoming as I was looking at the thermatake m10

Any suggestions as Im playing BF3, MOH and Planetside 2

Logitech G500 are quite nice... best mouse in my experience from Counter-Strike is the one with a ball no matter how much money everyone spent on their mouses, adding weights to it, having 100500 DPI etc.. no one could beat a guy with a ball mouse.

hi mate, I picked up this a few weeks back and love it..

Razer DeathAdder Respawn 3500 DPI Xtreme Precision Gaming Mouse
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-043-RA&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=

I like a basic mouse, 5 buttons is enough for me. Coming from using an MS IntelliMouse explorer 3.0 for years this has a similar shape so my hand felt at home on the Razer.

The DPI is huge, in BF3 I have to have my vehicle sensitivity really low otherwise I'm all over the place.

Sensei comes up often. Dunno about 'best'.

Your best off going into a store which have them on display so you can actually get a feel for the mouse yourself. For a right handed mouse the DeathAdder is quite nice.

Logitech G500 gets my vote, but there are allot of good squeakers around, its personal taste really.

Hi I got rid of my Deathadder and honestly think the Zowie feels smoother

I will have a look at the sensai, so many to choose from?

iv got the razer deathadder. iv only played bf3 for a couple of hours put in all honesty when i put my hand over it it just almost falls asleep its a very comfortable mouse

I agree with Lazdar ball mouse low sense setting old cloth mat and lightning fast reflexes for fps shooters can not be beaten.

Picked up the G500 last month. It is great, I need nothing more.

Deathadder.

Wish there was a wireless version that didn't cost the earth

CM Storm Recon or Zowie AM right now. It depends how serious you are about precision, the G500 and Sensei have positive acceleration, so getting used to it will take some time.

Looks like a plaything.

Totally form over function.

Might be wrong but I doubt it.

Also its just slightly too insane for my cup of tea

WMO1.1a atleast as good as a ball mouse without any of the potential issues with the ball clogging up, etc. anyone that plays that good on a ball mouse won't play any worse and possible better on one.

Still don't get the fascination with laser mice almost all of them exhibit some degree of skipping and some degree of erratic input.

The Steelseries kinzu V2 is pretty decent but a tiny bit too small for most people physically and the sensor while good has some minor issues - gonna have to give the zowie mice a whirl at some point as I find zowie mouse mats very very good and one of the biggest aids to how precise I can aim regardless of mouse.

The last time I used a ball mouse it was terrible, hard to move and the cleaning was annoying too. Laser mice are the way forward, if people have problems with them its usually down to the surface they're using them on.

laser mice have no soul.

Roccat Kone[+] or a deathadder.

Zeed · 6 Nov 2012 at 16:07

Saitek Cyborg gets my vote. I have it over a Year still love it.
I had Deathadder and logitech g300 and i will take Cyborg over those 2 anytime.
And it looks ****ing cool

nathanael91 · 6 Nov 2012 at 20:07

to be honest it comes down to very simple things. Money, looks, and size. If you want to go overboard grab an expensive mouse which will be good no doubt.

but if you want something that you havnt had one for example i have just had the deathadder after using a cheap 20 quid mouse beforehand then its a risk because you dont know if it will suite your liking.

See if you can send back a mouse if its not too your liking within the time frame that oc allows.

If you have money you may not take risks because you can have any however if you only have a certain amount then it will be up to you to decide.
before you purchase anything read the reviews good and bad so that you can make the right decision. Good luck
