Help me pick a new mouse!

Noni Juice · 12 Sep 2010 at 18:43

Hi there!

My MX1000 is playing up, it double clicks for some reason and is quite worn out, I tried resetting/downloading drivers but I think its just knackered now.

I'm on the lookout for a new mouse, corded or wireless for around £15-20. I don't play games on my PC so no need for that extra DPI settings and all that jazz.

Thanks for anyhelp!

But the 518 looks good.

with the MX518 at that price, you cant go wrong

Hi, MX518 looks good, got back & forward thumb buttons, which for me are a godsend for web browsing(iv'e got a rollerball thou, but expensive).
Ordered a MX620 for GF, Wireless, slightly diff shape, also got supposedly reading reviews, excellent fast srolling wheel. Old prob discontinued model, but for same functions + a few extras like even more battery life ie 1yr to 3yr, new M models expensive. Can get for £28, so a bit more than budget, GF certainly wouldn't pay the price of a new M model equiv, struggle to get money off her for this

, tight Gxt.
Worth prob going into big high street stores, to check which feels best in your hand, size etc.
Gaming mouse, well that seems even more subjective.

Cheers BOB

HEHE sorry, just like the mx518, it fits the hand great, even my G/F use one now, and she does not game, it really is a fantastic mouse, don't know the cyborg one so can not comment.
