hi,

i'm looking to buy a new mouse for gaming and i'm in need of some recommendations.

what i'm roughly looking for in a mouse is;


  • laser type
  • atleast 5-6 buttons - left click, right click, scroll button, 1 or 2 thumb rest buttons and if possible 2 smaller button next to the left click button.
  • looks cool (LED lighting?)
  • a respectable DPI
  • relatively affordable (prob willing to spend £60 max if the mouse is impressive for its price)

any recommendations? ... even if its not to what i exactly described above?

cheers!
 
i did have a look at the Blaze mice but i couldnt find any vids or side pics that show off its design from the sides so i could see where the buttons are spaced, etc.
 
its a nice mouse but i dont like how the scroll button area is packed with 3x smaller buttons that may be hard to hit unless you are uber dextrous with your fingers. if their were 2 bigger buttons instead around the scroll button like on the Razer Lachesis i'd consider that.

i've been looking around and i'd say the Deathadder is pretty close to what im looking for. the only thing its missing is a couple of buttons around the index finger that the Mamba has.

can anyone recommend me any other mice that are similar to the Mamba in that way before i completely decide on a Deathadder?
 
it says it has 8 buttons ... where are they ? ... i count 5x ... not sure if the black grided bit underneath the scroll is a button or if the red light below that is a button too ! :)
 
An obvious winner is the Logitech G500...

3 thumb buttons, plus two next to the left mouse button. Slightly understated looks, but very adjustable DPI (all the way up to 5700), and all for £30...

MX518 is far superior to anything around atm & has been for years IMO... long live the 518 :p

There are others around that boast better DPI etc and I have tried a lot of far more expensive ones & hated them.. the 518 just feels right when you hold it, whereas most of the others just feel uncomfortable & un-natural ;)

sorry .... my bawsack would look nicer than that if i were to convert it into a mouse :)

ok ... i thinks it between the G500, Deathadder and the MX518. gonna have to look at the pros and cons between the lot and make a decision.

feel free to help me decide by tallying up a list for me :P

also feel free to throw in another mouse if its worth considering :)
