Hi, as the title suggests I'm looking for a good wired mouse that works well with Supreme Commander and the add-on FA.

I already have the Razor Krait which is badged as an RTS gaming mouse, but it's actually pretty unsuited to that task. For whatever reason when you try to double click something in SupCom to select all units of that type, the double click doesn't work most of the time. It's also difficult to double click stuff in windows.

I think basically the mouse is so light that simply clicking the left mouse button moves the mouse slightly, so the double click doesn't count. I think the high resolution might contribute too.

I was thinking of maybe the Logitech MX518, looks a bit heavier and has dpi adjustment, so I could always drop it down to 800 dpi if needed.

Any specific suggestions from RTS players out there?
Thanks in advance.
 
I use a MS wireless intellimouse explorer 2.0. I play AOE3 (occasionally) and CNC3 and I find it perfect, and its been fantastic for windows use for the last....4 years or so.
 
I use a saitek gm3200 and it has been a great mouse and works perfectly for me on all rts games double click is nice and firm although you can fully customise that as i think you can with all modern gaming mice.
 
Cheers guys, I have the MX518 ordered :)

It's a shame I didn't get on with the Krait, it was a fine mouse for FPS games but a little frustrating with SupCom.
 
I have sex with my MX518 & when I am done I use it to play FPS, We get married in August.
