Need new mouse (Sweaty hands)

Nemesis379 · 22 Mar 2011 at 23:53

I am currently using the MX518 and my hands become sweaty causing the mouse to become dirty all the freggin time, and when i clean it, it becomes slippery, any ideas would be appreciated.

There's a joke in here somewhere?

Don't know what to say OP, have a cloth nearby or a Fan, not sure you can buy a mouse that cools itself?

I think you could be out if luck on this one. I would suggest small fan or just have a towel beside you.

The Logitech G5, second revision, the blue one, very grippy.

Im using a MX518 at the moment and i know what you mean.. No other mouse has ever made my hand perspire, must be the shape/plastic.

Nemesis379 · 23 Mar 2011 at 11:22

First i tried the razor deathadder, and then mx518, and now i dont know, ive tried finding logitech G5 but cant seem to find it anywhere, anyone got a G500 does is it like MX518 or G500?

Give the G9x a go. Its wide and has a nice grippy plastic that is not sweat prone.

I decided to not go with logitech, nor razer but steelseries Xai, it seems to look nice, plain, simple and the texture looks good!, cant wait for it to arrive

Damnit, now you've said that I have realised that my hand is sweaty. (I have an MX518)

You could try wearing a cotton glove while you use the mouse , i have to wear them sometimes over eczema and they do let your hands breath very easily . You can pick them up from a pharmacy for about 2 pound .
