Best mechanical mouse?

[Nate Silvers]

Mechanical keyboards have made a come back and they feel better to type on so what's the best mechanical mouse to buy? I miss being able to feel the balls moving in my hand, it feels very tactile and nice like mechanical keyboards.

 

[martinoheat]

is this a serious question?
the accuracy and consistency of a mechanical mouse is no where near that of a laser mouse.

The trackball type mice where passable, the other typre were dire and I don't miss them in the slightest.

I miss being able to feel the balls

Miss-quote ftw

On a serious note though, there is no going back to trackball mice. Optical and laser is the way forward.

trackballs were the worst, the jerky movements where horrible.

Mouse with a ball where one of the best mouses.
IMO logitech g400 v2 is as good, maybe not this same but similiar.

Nothing worse than having to clean the fluff of your rollers to make the ball work better

Don't miss them. Laser FTW.

That looks the best of both worlds.

not really, its still doesn't have a ball that operates the cursor. I does look nice though, kinda.

What? That was awesome, it was always fun slicing & scraping it off, then after you had an overclocked mouse!

I would've gone with that instead.

And yeah, you'd be mad to go back to ball mice!

Mech keyboards have always been better than the cheaper membrane types. Ball mice have died a death as they are inferior to optical / lazer and always will be.

Laser isnt better than optical at the moment. This might change next year...
If you want laser than g700 would be the way to go.

Maybe, but they both are a hell of a lot better than a ball.

The original Razer Boomslang, still got mine in a box somewhere.

Holy **** I need that mouse! I am using a HP ballmouse right now and playing CS it feels so nice getting headshots, you can feel the ball rolling across the desk and it makes it feel like a real gun. I have a Deathadder too and this HP is just as good, I can track tiny little movements and big swings.

Wouldnt agree on that one.
If you have a good ball mice than theres nothing better!
People hate ball mouses because they are high sens players.
Im low sens player maybe thats why, I find ball better.
