Deathadder is a very good mouse, as is the MX518.

Apologies in hijacking thread but quick question.

What makes a mouse a 'gaming mouse'?

dmxdex2020 · 14 Jun 2011 at 20:22

The sensor.

Optical is better than lazer.

Nothing specific, usually just that it is comfortable and effective for gaming.

If anything could define something as a gaming mouse, it's price.

Hehe, yup, that's it in a nutshell.
The best gaming mouse for you is the mouse you've used the most and are the most comfortable with.
If you want to try something different, don't worry about dpi or cost or whatever, just find a mouse that is the perfect size, shape and weight for you personally. Go to a shop and pull a few out of their boxes if you have to

The bog standard microsoft optical wheel mouse is my gaming mouse of choice - http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=e...&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi

I think the successor to the MX518 is coming out soon, the G400.

Kosmiche · 14 Jun 2011 at 21:34

^^ That looks fantastic

I use the microsoft sidewinder x8 though, I dont use a mousepad and the tracking is perfect.

I have a Razer Mamba £100 a Razer Deathadder Respawn £40 and a second hand Mx518 £15.

The MX518 is the best out of them all...

This or the G500, got the 500 as a replacement for a broken G5, same great balance and feel with a few extra buttons and higher dpi.
