Typhoon Mouse or Razer

stewart.r@ntlwo · 23 Sep 2009 at 21:13

Hi I did have the Typhoon sure shot laser mouse that I have to say I was pleased with until one the buttons stopped working and it had to be the main one. I started playing BF2 again after many months not playing FPS. Its taken loads of use and it’s a shame it gone.

No I’m thinking do I try and get the same mouse and I got it for £14 before posted from some place in Europe. If anyone can remember the site?

Or do I go the extra and get the Razer DeathAdder Blue that I read is also very good but over £30 and that I think is some price for only a mouse.

Any help finding the site that does the Typhoon or getting a good price on the Razer would be appreciated.

Cheers.
Cant use the freebie HP one i got as it must be about a quids worth.

I've had a Razer copperhead blue for nearly 2 yrs, best mouse for gaming, in fact, the best mouse i've ever had

I've had a razor dimondback for a long time now, and used a lot of different razers, they are great, i would go for them

I have a Razer DeathAdder Blue and words can not describe how awesome it is when you first use it with a Razer Destructor mouse matt (especially when coming from a Dell ball mouse!!

)

the DeathAdder is worth every penny

Logitech MX518 has beaten any other gaming mouse I've tried hands down.

Logitech MX518 Gaming-Grade Optical Mouse (910-000616)

Logitech G5 Gaming-Grade Laser Mouse (910-000094)

Ok got it down to one of these as I think £39 is a bit OTT. :eek:

So what you think optical or laser. to tell the truth I just dont know what that means with regards to the mouse. I did have a laser before.

To be honest I'd just get the MX518, I think the theory was that laser mice had higher resolution than optical but to be honest I think its one of those irrelevent figures in the real world.

Yep. Laser gives a higher DPI and all that jazz, but optical can provide a plenty high enough DPI for anyone. I don't know about different surfaces, but I wouldn't buy a mouse simply because "it's laser".

I bought the Razer Mantis speed mat when I got the sure shot so I take it the optical will work ok with this.

Cheers for all the views.

I use Logitechs for my rigs (MX518 and MX510), but I would get a Razer if one of my Logitech's goes kaput.

Got a razer deather adder here, utter amazing mate, mabey the new coolermaster worth a look?

stewart.r@ntlwo · 24 Sep 2009 at 23:16

Great now I'm back to getting the Death adder, its out of stock so will think on it. Review after review and people that have had the MX518 have moved to it.

Sindri · 24 Sep 2009 at 23:48

If you think that the death adder is a bit pricey whats wrong with the diamondback 3G? My brother has one and its excellent.

Helios1234 · 24 Sep 2009 at 23:55

Yeah the Diamondback 3g is a brilliant alternative. I prefer it to the deathadder but that's because I'm used to the shape of the Diamondback more.

I would go for the Razer imo.
