Hi,

What are all you gamers using?

Mouse wise

Thanks

Which should I get?

nikebee · 23 Mar 2006 at 19:25

good ol' MX510 here

very nice mouse, good control and it fits real nice in your hand too... could get the newer MX518 or even the new G5.

Logitech G5 laser mouse for sure - briliant bit of kit - my housemate who has an mx510 wishes he had one too

Yeah bought a G5 to replace a MX518, great mouse, other than it's missing a button!

MX510... ok, not the most sensitive anymore, but still excellent, and you can get it for 30 quid with a steelpad...bargain

G 5 it is !

Thanks

Copperhead,

Another vote for the G5. It bugs me that there is a button missing but that aside, it is a great mouse.

also looking for an upgrade from my Diamondback Magma as its a little worn, have my eye on the Copperhead. but have also heard good things about G5. im not one for loads of buttons and dont like big mice... recomendations

Microsoft Wheelmouse Optical. "Gaming" mice are for suckers.

Yewen · 24 Mar 2006 at 02:20

MX1000.

Try telling me it isnt up to the job

Copperhead without a doubt. Mate has a G5 which is equally impressive, but i'm firmly stuck on the Razer mouses after moving from a Logitech MX500 to Chameleon.

mx700. Does exactly what it says on the tin

VaderDSL · 24 Mar 2006 at 04:13

I bought a G7 - quite a luxury item for me, but I love it

I love the hassle of no cables on my mouse, it works well in games and lasts a good length before swapping batteries

pcfan · 24 Mar 2006 at 09:25

G5 or the MX518. Both superb mice.

G|mp · 24 Mar 2006 at 09:33

MX518 here

JimJones · 24 Mar 2006 at 11:15

Vote for the G5. I use the tilt wheel for forward backwards and the side button for refresh

Heofz · 24 Mar 2006 at 11:27

2nd vote for a G7 here, just as good as a G5 except there is no wire snag

the batteries only take 2 hrs to charge (they last longer than 3 solid days of use, so you will never have problems), and the coolest bit is you can change them mid-game like a gun magazine

(I think that was Logitech's idea)

Oh, and its much MUCH lighter than the mx700, but the same shape!

pcfan · 24 Mar 2006 at 11:40

I like the look of the G7 just that cordless puts me off!

cenobite · 24 Mar 2006 at 18:27

Anyone else had an issue with the G5 not working correctly under XP? I have installed the drivers and under device manager it has detected additioanl hardware plugged in but mouse doesnt light up and neither does the laser underneath? Duff mouse perhaps?
