Gaming Mouse Round up!

Hey! how come gamespot never do a mouse round up like the ones they do for the video cards... i think it's time they did. with som amny mice out now

I personally would like to see something like that as the mouse has become or is one of the most important parts of your setup.

Maybe some of you guys would like to give a small review of what mouse your using... and i dont just mean a thumbs up.. i wana hear about problems you've had and such with the software that came with the mouse of something..

I personally have the G5 (one button version) and it works ok, but i've had problems with the software.. like your supposed to be able to set profiles for games.. but it doesn't always work.. and the DPI can randomly change in the game if your trying to change on the fly..... basically if it did what it's supposed to do.. then it would be a brilliant mouse, but it's hit and miss with it.

i'm looking at (or thinking about) getting a new mouse and i was looking at the G9 or Sidewinder....

What's your views?

yeah, it would be a neat feature for gamespot to do

myself, i use a razer copperhead and i can't even imagine using anything else

it's very comfortable, a perfect weight for me, has plenty of buttons and is sleek and sexy

I think I've actually inquired about it a couple of times, and I hope the hardware guys do something on the subject at some point. There are tons of mice out there that are too small for comfort, especially side to side on the fingers. I like to spread my hand wide while I use a mouse.

I'm using a Razer Blackadder at the moment. It's a bit pricey, but it was made based on the model of the old Intellimouse Explorer 3.0, so it's a nice wide mouse and has some nice features added to it. It's not perfect (I think my perfect mouse would be wider than any mouse ever made), but it's comfortable for gaming and desktop stuff, even if I do have to move my ring finger off to the side of it. Usually I just move my middle finger back and forth from the middle mouse button to the right mouse button, but I can put all three fingers on it if I need to.

Love my Logitech G7 Special Edition.

went from a G5 after the laser went bust, and it was defitnaly a great decision.

Im lovin the large buttons of Razer mice - which seem more appropriate to my wirst flick style FPS gaming. Only problem is cords keep getting tangled on my desk.

I use a plan-jane Microsoft optical mouse, not even a laser. But, I really only game single player so I don't need 48.7 million dots-per-millimeter of resolution.

I would like to have programmable buttons, but I haven't had a mouse with that feature for 5 years so I guess I don't miss it to much.

On the other hand, I *LOVE* my G15 keyboard! If a new mouse can affect me as much as my G15 has, I should certainly talk myself into one!

Gamespot won't do it because the 360 doesn't have mouse support.:lol:fivex84

:lol: lol! :lol:

i have a G5 also, i also have to say it is the best mouse i have put my hands on, but the wheel really get me sometimes, when i try to close a tab on firefox with the mouse3 it rotates the wheel and i close another DUH!, it is really annoying, specialy when you're searching trough those videos on youporn and they un-load

edit:
I meant youtube

copperhead here! I love it, but it's not for people with big hands.

LMAO. Excuse me?

In all seriousness though, I've used the G5, Copperhead, and the Habu, and none of them touch the Deathadder. I highly reccomend buying one.

MX 600 (i think?) anyway, the mouse is solid, works fine but connectivity is troublesome sometimes, where ill have to reconnect the mouse to the reciever. Software, thats stuff is annoying half of the time, i find myself just ending the processes.

Logitech G5

Absolutely love it. Got it for ~$27CDN on sale.:D

How is the DeathAdder better than the Copperhead? I'm using the Copperhead now, been using it for 2 years but I'm thinking of replacing it,getting either the same mouse or the DeathAdder. I've heard good things about the DeathAddder but then the Copperhead seems perfect.

Well... it seems there are allot of different mice being used by different people and i haven't looked at the Razor before now... and it seems that they are releasing a new mouse with 4000dpi the "Lachesis" and it also has onboard memory for holding profiles much like the Sidewinder from Microsoft

I'm really curious about the 3 top mice coming out for gaming.... but bottom line is really...

Gamespot!.. Please do a Round-up of mice! :D

i was just wondering, is the microsoft sidewinder anygood? or would it be best to just get a logitech or razor.GranTurismo123

I'm just using a standard Logitech "light" mouse, and it's worked well for a while. Would purchasing a newer mouse like a razor or g7 really make that much of a difference?iwokojance
