New Mouse

Jayman · 28 Feb 2016 at 12:12

I'm looking for a new mouse thats ambidextrous (bloomin mrs is a lefty & used the PC from time to time). I'm looking at the steel series rival 100 (nice & cheap) and also a zowie fk1, seems to have good reviews but looks a bit bland. Any advice or other options I should consider?

I'm not much of a fps player so dont need anything too extreme.

I have the SteelSeries rubberized (american spelling) Sensei raw and I like it, only thing that is slightly annoying is the LOD is quite high but I soon got used to it.

the razer ouro is a gr8 choice but might be out of your price range

Fk1 feels great to hold and use but I haven't had mine too long and already the middle mouse scroll is slipping.

The Steelseries Sensei Raw suffers from the scroll wheel jumping upwards randomly.

Zowie mice have an LED indicator on the underside that cannot be turned off and would rapidly become irritating.

I have a Roccat Kova here at work, that I accidentally bought myself.
It's quite flat, but surprisingly comfy, has all the usual Roccat gaming gubbins and is Ambi.
I personally find my 3rd finger can trip the side buttons on the right occasionally, but I have a weird kind of Claw grip and overly large hands.
For Palm and most Claw it fits very well, REALLY stands up to the abuse (been using it daily at work since the day ) and even the pritty pritty lights aren't desperately over-the-top... Can probably turn 'em off, but I like such things.

Yeah, worth considering, IMO.

NOTE: I have the older (so hopefully now-cheaper) 2010 version. They apparently updated it in late 2015 to a newer, gayer style with more buttons....

I think he means the new ones where the scroll wheel as a led.
