Help choosing a USB Mouse

demon8991 · 13 Mar 2016 at 04:23

Hi all,

I am in the market for a new mouse and if I am honest know nothing about what's new etc.

I have used a Logitech MX518 for years and years but I think the plastic on it is on its way out as it is very sticky for some reason.

I have a red and black theme for my rig so this would be my preference if the mouse uses colour.

The Corsair Raptor M45 looks pretty cool but not sure if it too small.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Raptor is 12mm shorter 7 mm wider and 3mm higher have you got big hands ?

Go for what feels right rather than aesthetics otherwise you'll regret it.

I'd recommend a G500s.

Unfortunately it does not look like I can get that mouse here in Australia.

I am guessing it has been discontinued.

Ah, that's a shame - are there any local PC stores to you where you could possibly try the mice before you buy?

It's all personal preference of course, but I've always found Logitech to be more comfortable than the Corsair.

I grabbed myself the Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum

Seems like a great mouse!
