Best mouse for £30-£40

Laser man · 18 Sep 2010 at 18:11

I've had a microsoft mouse for 4 years now and the scroll has finally gone and brought down the laser with it

Because of this I really need a new mouse between £30-£40 for gaming and general desktop use. Any ideas welcome.

Its the "beginning" "the middle" and "the end" its that good.

:O may order one Monday since my mouse is being annoying.

What about the Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse?

clearly you are blinded by the logic in this thread, the MX518 is the light you should receive.

Was it an MS Laser Mouse 6000 perchance?

The G500 is very good, and it is also just a few pounds more then the MX518, so that would be what my money would buy if I needed one at the moment.

+1 for the Logitech MX518

Also, depending on how many buttons you require, a CM Storm Inferno and the Sharkoon FireGlider (probably in black...) may be a better bet than the MX518. The G500 is good at that price, but apparently the buttons aren't all that great (wear out quickly).

Oh, and I've got an MX518 - when they were the only decent mouse at £30.

whitecrook · 18 Sep 2010 at 20:18

I had a 518, was alright, would buy again. But I prefered the mx300/310 style personally.

What's the best bluetooth wifi mouse? To use with my mbp / htpc..

Oh yes it was, does anybody have any other suggestions apart from mx518

Marvin · 18 Sep 2010 at 20:40

G500 or CM Storm Inferno or Sharkoon FireGlide.

Latter two get brilliant reviews. The Inferno can be had for ~£30 and the Sharkoon for ~£25.

Probably G500. I like to tout the Sidewinder X8 whenever I get the chance as it's awesome. £4 over budget though. But it is wireless!

If you can spare a few extra £'s I'd go with:

I'm biased though, I have one and love it to bits.

On most spec me a mouse threads this one is mentioned first. I've had mine for about 3/4 years now and its perfect. Glad they're still popular so I can buy another if mine somehow breaks.

So could anyone explain exactly why the MX815 is so masterful?

I use the Reaper Edge and it's a phenomenal mouse. You can pick one up for fourty quid.

Kethridge · 18 Sep 2010 at 23:57

Logitech G5 v2, £40.

Better than the Mx518 imo (although the Mx518 is damn near perfect)

trentlad · 19 Sep 2010 at 00:58

So no one can be arsed to explain why it's any good. LOL!
