Which Mouse??

[Freegrazer]

Hi all.

I'm new here and I could be wrong, but there doesn't seem to be a section for for the discussion of peripherals.

I spent almost 2 weeks straight hunting for the perfect keyboard to go with my new HTPC that I'm currently buiding. That keyboard did not exist and so I bought 2 keyboards -

1. Logitech K400 (basically my giant remote control for lazy viewing/surfing)

2. Logitech G110 (illuminated FULL keyboard with numpad AND one touch media buttons, extra G keys)

All I need now is the perfect wireless mouse. This is why I am posting here. My searching has narrowed my options down to 2....no wait...it's 3!

1. Logitech G700 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-186-LG&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1276

2. Razer Ouroboros - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=KB-073-RA&groupid=702&catid=23&subcat=1276

3. Mad Catz Cyborg R.A.T 9 www.amazon.co.uk/MCB4370900B2-02-Cyborg-Wireless-6400dpi/dp/B009PHSDBM/ref=dp_ob_title_ce

Let's pretend they are the same price :

Which is the best based on battery life/design+build+feel/performance?
What problems or flaws come with each?
Why should I get this one instead of that one?
Am I paying too much for my car insurance? (yes, probably!)

I have read some negative things about all 3 mice, but they do seem to be the best ones out there.

The more expensive Logitech models out there (Performance MX/Anywhere MX) seem to suffer severe design flaws with scrolling or double-clicking, but the G700 seems to have been designed a little better than those other models, which is why I've put it against the Razer and the Cyborg.

Please help me to choose!! (I plan to do a little gaming too)

I'm off to bed now so I'll check back here tomorrow and see what you guys might have for me, I appreciate any and all advice.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for all the advice guys!

I guess it truly is a personal thing when it comes to mice and keyboads.

After much hmmm-ing and hawww-ing and discussion with others I have settled on the RAT 9.

If thre Rat 9's battery is good then if i was you thats what i would go for .

It actually comes with a second battery that can be charging while you're using the other one in the Rat (nice touch!)

Can't wait to try it out, thanks once again guys.

So I've just bought the RAT 9.

I love the aesthetics of the Razer (looks like the ****in' Batwing) but I can't justify paying that kind of price for it.

And I do love Logitech gear but I have read too many negative/mixed reviews with the G700 and the Performance MX models.

As for the RAT 9, the only negative things I've heard or read have been reports of squeaking (no pun intended). And I love the idea of the second battery.

Anybody know the difference between the RAT 9 and the MADCATZ RAT 9? (if any)

Really? I can't say ****in'? It's an Irish term and it is far from offensive!
