Bored- new mouse?

MrMarvelous · 20 Mar 2014 at 16:59

Currently have the DeathAdder 2012 (blue LED), nothing wrong with the mouse at all it's just that i'm getting bored and want to try something else. I really like the shape of it but would ideally liek a mopuse that a bit bigger since I have big hands.

I'd contemplating getting a DeathAdder 2013 or the Microsoft mouse that I used to have years ago. It was white with a red see through bottom but I can't for the life of me remember what it's called.

Any other suggestions?

How about a Zowie mouse? I want to buy this, but am skint at the moment. Just had to send my SteelSeries Sensei back for repair as it kept skipping, if that happens again I'm buying one of these.

Similar shape to the DA but a big bigger I think.

Never heard of Zowie, are they any good? the price is a bit off putting though, £50+ for a mouse! :eek:

I've got big hands and i'm currently using a corsair M65 (white) and I really like it! (I use a claw grip though because of my hands)
it looks great as well!

I have purchased a Mionix 8200 and expecting it to be at home later, will let you know how it is. Seems to have got pretty decent reviews and customisable LED's = winner for me

I'm planning on ordering a Mionix Naos 7000 soon, pretty much the same as the 8200 but has an optical sensor (ADNS 3310, same as the Steelseries Rival) instead of a laser and no DPI LEDs.

Never used one myself but have read/heard good things! There's a couple guys in the showcase thread that use them and like them.

I bet the DA was about £50 when you bought it? I'd like a Zowie, maybe when I get paid.

Deathadder 2013 for sure.

With one of Razer's green backlit mechanical keyboard so things match ofc

that was one of the reasons I went for one I could customise to red, corsair k70 needs a matching red glow. All I need now is a red LED fan controller as the lights on my current one are blue.

Mionix Naos 7000. The best sensor avalaible at the moment (3310), ultra low lift off distance, super quality and mega comfortable. Oh and it can light up red

Check out the avior too if you want to claw grip, I have both and are superb!

EDIT: having used the Avior all day - I say go with that. Its the same sensor but its lighter and smaller so more controllable. The sensor is so ****ing magic I cannot explain it. Perfection!

It also only has 2000dpi which is bad for a £50 mouse!

Steelseries Rival...

best gaming mouse around atm...

really?

zowie are one of the best gaming hardware company's around atm there mice are all used by professional gamers...

if u use anything over 800dpi ur really gimping urself..

ive gamed for years at high levels and ive played with people who use ridiculous DPI settings... told them to change to 6/11 windows and reg fixes with low DPI 400-800 and they have improved a lot...

the sensors on zowie mice the best around.. i would buy a zowie straight away but used my friends rival coming from a DA 2013 and fell in love with it!

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer? (There's one in the MM, though it's silver now)

Fuggan · 27 Mar 2014 at 12:08

Intellimouse! Great mouse, all the old CS pros either used to use that or an MX518 back in the day.

Just Googled it now and it's the very first mouse which I ever used and it was amazing!!!

Can you link me to the MM thread please? I'll deffo give these another go if they're still as good.

Cheers bud, price is way too high though. You can buy a new one of these for just over £20 elsewhere.
