Best mouse for around £50

Substance · 12 Sep 2013 at 21:09

I've had a Razer deathadder 3.5g for a few years now and it's really had it's time, When I click, it thinks I am double clicking and I can't drag anything, It just lets go and reclicks all the time,

I want to spend about £50 on a new mouse but I have no idea what is considered good at the moment, I've read a bit and the Steelseries sensei RAW looks good and I do like the look of the Logitech G500s

Are they any good? And is there anything else you would recommend?

Cheers

Replacing the switch, which cost like a fiver all inclusive.

Else, yeah the Sensei RAW is a good bet.

If you like the DeathAdder shape, I would also take a look at the Zowie EC1 Evo or EC2 Evo (bit smaller). It's a minimalist mouse, but anything around a Avago 3090 is worth a look IMO. I have two zowies, and the tracking is very smooth.

For example the Roccat Savu, although I tend to stay away from Roccat from past experience (Fragile Kone, and useless Sota mouse pad).

Zowie FK /thread

Recently I have owned razer deathadder 2013, Zowie Evo 1/2, Steelseries Kana and G400. The Zowie FK is much better (if you do not have big hands)

The FK is small. Quite different from a Deathadder.

Either of these;

YOUR BASKET
1 x Zowie EC1 eVo 2300 DPI Pro-Gaming Mouse - Black £51.95
1 x Zowie EC2 eVo 2300 DPI Pro-Gaming Mouse - Black £51.95
Total : £112.60 (includes shipping : £7.25).

I have the EC1 (the slightly larger one). It is over two years old and as good as new. I use it a lot too! Come to think of it this is the first 'gaming' mouse that I have not had to replace because of something (typically one of the buttons, usually a thumb button) has broken.

If I were to buy again, I think I might try the EC2 for that slightly smaller fit but I'm more than comfortable enough with the EC1 to not even think about that until the EC1 breaks, the way things are I'm confident of getting another two years out of it.

Edit: That said I have not tried the FK for comfort, but equally I cannot testify to its robustness over time either.
