Mice with Side Buttons?

AFK_Matrix · 15 Dec 2006 at 11:33

Hi,

My brother wants a new mouse for christmas but it needs to have the side button like on the MX510 (This is the mouse he has at the mo but its playing up)

From what I can find only the Logitech mice have this? If so which one would you recommend?

Are there other manufacturers who do side buttons on mice?

Have you got a budget in mind?

I went from a MX510 to a MX1000.
They are well cheap now and a steal at the price.
Brilliant mouse in every way, slightly bigger than the 510 but it is chordless.
Very reliable and precise and excellent ingame.

depending on the budget, and if he would like the forwards button, and not just the backwards one, if so then go for either the:

Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse
Logitech MX 610 Laser Cordless Mouse

Well would like it to be around the 30-35 mark and forgot to say he plays a lot of WOW and COD2.

Either of those two can be got within budget. If he likes the MX510 he is sure to like the MX518.
