Gameing mouse to replace explorer!

Well Splattered · 9 Aug 2007 at 13:47

Please help!!!!

My aging silver Intellimouse explorer is due to be replaced. Two reasons!
The feet are worn out and the teflon strips from ebay do not last long. Its lifetime warranty from Microsoft is worthless as they will not support it, and send me new feet!
The software is not binding my buttons in games, so I cannot play games that do not see all of the mouse buttons (COD:UO) to the level I used too. Very frustrating!

Can anyone recommend me a USB mouse (wired) that has several bindable buttons and has good software? I would like to be able to bind mouse buttons in specific games (profiles) and maybe more than 5 buttons!

Anyone with good experiences?
Thanks

Pretty much the gamer ranges from Razer and Logitech will do what you want. See which fits your hand best.

aye, will see the purple shirts and have a feel

Explorer is huge in my hand so dont mind larger mice either

i've got a g5, pretty decent mouse and software does the job, tho i've seen it said that it tends to hog resources so the razer series might be a better bet.

mp260767, can you assign keys to the buttons in the software?

Thanks

I went from a MS intelli- explorer to a Razer Diamondback and it took me a couple days to get used to the mouse... but I absolutely love it now and find larger mice feel awkward and aren't as easy to move around.

The Diamondback 3G should be out soon. Would be well worth a look.
I think I'll be picking one up as soon as I can.

You can do that with all the Razer mice, including key combinations and macros.
