Need a good mouse for games.

GothicGhost · 4 Jan 2010 at 09:23

Hi all.

I using at the moment the old ball type mouse and i notice in games like battlefield 2 when sniping the mouse movements not very smooth even with scroll settings on low (1.50) i think i got it.

So getting that head shot a little bit harder

So would getting a gamers mouse sort this movement problem out ?

Thinking of this one as it comes with mouse mat ( i never even bothered with a mouse mat before.

or this one without a mat.

MX518 or Nothing !!!

Everyone has different opinions but I know loads of peeps with the MX518. It's a good mouse. Slim. I personally have the G5 as I have massive hands haha

i had the mx510 and it was great, i never upgraded to the mx518 only because i didnt need the extra dpi.

i only upgraded to a g5 once i had totally wore out the mx510, for some reason i always preferred the mx510 which is very very similar to the mx518.

on the plus side you will get lots of extra buttons which you can assign to keyboard commands in games.

My two sons and me use the MX518, best gaming mouse for the price!!!!

MX518 = dogs danglies.

Is there 2 versions of the mx518 ?

One with 1600 DPI and another 1800 DPI

Awahwah · 4 Jan 2010 at 13:05

I used the MX518 since it's release, only just changed for the CM Sentinel which is is very good. Still, the MX will always be in the draw ready for action - possibly the best mouse I've ever owned, still un-decided about the Sentinel.

gothicghost, I'm pretty sure there is only one version at 1600dpi.
