New Mouse For Casual Gaming

thepominlaw · 7 Feb 2011 at 06:30

Real simple this one, I need a new mouse for my PC (using a £5 logitech model) want it for Team Fortress and Left 4 Dead mainly. Budget is tight and I am also left handed to complicate matters.

Looking at the Logitech M505 wireless, any one else here use one or could recommend it?

Also whats the Logitech K200 keyboard like I am after a nice thin keyboard as my bottom of the range Microsoft keyboard it too high especially in comparison to the Mac keyboard i have on my imac.

for £30 you can get a logitech G500 gaming mouse, i highly recommend the G500 it's fully configurable and even has a macro manager that you can configure too giving even more control.

for gaming i adcise stayin away from wireless

You want a basic mouse shape but with quality.

I am a leftie and I use a Steelseries XAI. It is not cheap and maybe out of your price bracket, but it is awesome.

They do a cheaper optical version called a Kinzu, though sadly not available here.

One of many glowing reviews - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/SteelSeries/Kinzu/4.html

Steelseries XAI, fantastic ambidextrous mouse which is also perfect for day to day applications. Use mine for 3D / Photoshop & for gaming its absolutely phenomenal. Highly recommended.
