Best rubberized wired mice?

Trojan Horse · 21 Aug 2015 at 11:22

I currently have the Sharkoon Fireglider which is IMO one of the best feeling nice on the market.

I'm looking for something similar, must have rubberized finish and be slightly heavy - just need it to have a few extra mouse buttons so I can quickly do things in FPS games eg throw grenade

I also need a slightly longer USB cable 2-3m so does having a USB extension affect lag of mouse input in anyway?

Steelseries Rival, I've got one and it has some nice rubber areas and more than enough buttons for fps.

It's pretty expensive and has the same number of buttons as my fireglider. Also wags difference between optical and laser nice?

I would say the Deathadder but you need more buttons

Expensive - Logitech G700S or 2nd hand G700
Cheaper - Coolermaster Storm Inferno
Consider - Roccat Kone or Kova

Nice grippy/rubebry bits and loads of buttons!!
The Kova is quite low profile, but feels surprisingly great.

G700 NOT S looks perfect but it looks like it'll feel cheap and plasticky, is there a rubber version of it?

Mine certainly feels pretty darn solid!!
Heavy, but not overly so.

Not sure about the non-S, but the S has a texture that grips exceptionally well... IMO better than actual rubberised mice.

I can get a refurbished g700 for 32 and a new g700s w/ 3 year square trade warranty for 60 . is the g700s really worth double the price?

Shogun Bros Ballista is well regarded by PC Gamer.

If it comes with a 3-year warranty, then I'd say yes.
Logitech have a fairly good rep for warranty and RMA type things.

I do actually prefer the 700S over the 700 (having now tried both) as, despite them being essentially the same mouse, there are lots of little tweaks and adjustments on the S that do make the difference, even if you don't notice them.

Also, £60 new is a good price, given that they were £95 when they came out!
