Need a New Gaming Mouse, Suggestions?

I'v had a Deathadder since 2010 but its starting to get a bit wonky on me, been looking around at mice for the past few hours and its almost dizzying the amout of options there are. I hear logitechs new line isint up to snuff and also that the new Deathadders sensor is a bit off at times, also been looking at Roccats mice but never really heard of them. Basically im lost and need advice bad.

I use both the palm and claw grip, and right handed, and need something that will last awhile with a good sensor and decent sensitivity. Woulden't mind staying around the 50-60 dollar range but im willing to go higher if theres a mouse thats actually worth it, i was looking at Roccats Kone XTD and it seems nice but at 90 bucks im not so sure. Dont really need a ton of extra buttons but if there well placed and useful there welcomed.

I also need a mouse pad as mine is a 98 cent one from Walmart and need to go in the trash. Thanks for any suggestions, theres no where around here that sells these higher end mice locally so looking at them in a store is not really a option for me.

Mouse: Zowie AM

Mousepad: Puretrak Talent

Bit more then i want to spend on a mousepad, but i'll look into that mouse.

Hey, whats the difference between the Zowie Fk and AM? They seem to be about the same, also wheres the best place to buy there stuff? It seems like newegg dont stock it as there prices are thre another store and insane. 

The AM has a /\ shape to it. The FK has a \/ shape to it. Amazon has the AM for around $60 bucks. Dunno bout where to get a good deal on FK tho.

razer deathadder 2013 and the abyssus are the two best mice in terms of sensor quality. just ask teh jigglywiggly

Went to Zowie's website and found a place on there dealers page Link, they have a combo deal thats 78 bucks for there rough mouse pad and the FK so think i'll go that route. I really like the overall look of there mice and the fact that they dont have crappy software running in the background like Razers Synapse sounds great. Thanks for your help guys.

While im sure its not the norm it sorta put me off, but honestley is the Deathadder leaps and bounds better then the Zowie? Becaus honestly i do kinda wanna give there mice a shot.

I had a razer keyboard and the servers were always down so I couldnt log in to my drivers?!?!?!?! so Thats why you should NOT buy razer. (my experience) 

So what is really the best sensor that actually works?

Yea, i haven't had a ton of issues with Synapse but im not a fan of they way you have to log in to it. Nice thing about the Zowie is it has no software, its just plug and play, the only down side is there only 3 DPI settings but i think i can deal with that.

I use a R.A.T 7, really comfortable mouse and very sensitive

Don't get a mouse.........Get a RAT.acanofcoke

Well I was about to suggest the Razer Deathadder (me and my 2 pc-gaming friends all su and love it) but I guess that's rather moot for you. My bro loves his Razer Naga and I'm personally looking at the Thermalytake level 9  

Anyone know if the G700S is any good? It looks similar to the Performance MX mouse which i loved.

Probably a little late on the reply, but I use the Razer Mamba 2012, and it RULES! It also looks incredibly stylish. Doesn't have a ton of buttons though, if you're an MMO gamer.

Been using my G500 for three years never had an issue. best mouse ive used.04dcarraher

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"]Been using my G500 for three years never had an issue. best mouse ive used.JigglyWiggly_

[QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"] There is nothing wrong with sensor unless you use low DPI [QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"][QUOTE="04dcarraher"]Been using my G500 for three years never had an issue. best mouse ive used.04dcarraher

no the sensor is not very good, i tested this w/ zubin, performs best at 2200 dpi

I play at 800dpi because it's not that much worse than 2200dpi, but 5700 is noticeably worse. k1llsen, plays at 1000dpi


You can test the sensor by drawing lines in paint. g9x is a lot more jaggy compared to my da4g

 On the aim400kg exactaimv2 test the difference is obvious
http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=ea_v2&ln=en
i get 83k with g9x, and 86.6k with the da4g

another test is the exact aim dot, i get 144 with the g9x and 150 with the da4g

http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=ea_dot

g500 makes 0 sense to use since there are plenty of mice with a similar shape and muchbetter sensors.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"][QUOTE="JigglyWiggly_"] g500 is dumb though The sensor isn't very good(it's the same as the g9x, avago 9500 ) There's plenty of mice with similar grips with much better sensors, like the g400.(not the s, the s has horrendous clicking)JigglyWiggly_

no the sensor is bad, zubin and I tested this

it performs best at around 2200 dpi

I play at 800dpi because it's not that much worse than 2200dpi, but 5700 is noticeably worse.

k1llsen, plays at 1000dpi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTmHOqzY3K0&t=29m30s

you can test the sensor in a few ways, like drawing lines in paint


g9x is a lot more jaggy compared to my da4g

even on the aim400kg exactaimv2 test the difference is obvious

http://aim400kg.ru/train/?a=ea_v2&ln=en
i get 83k with g9x, and 86.6k with the da4g

only twitcher's are that serious

idc that much personally, I play w/ the g9x because it lets me turn since it's so small.

depends on that game you're playing, QL has so much turning, but for an open game like CS or Tribes Ascend, go with the da4g.

Still, it makes no sense to use the g500, so you shouldn't recommend it.

I use a Razer Naga, and I really like it. Originally I got it since at the time I was playing WoW, and other mmo's but the buttons are also really useful for Moba's and pretty much every other game.

How much better will this due than my g700? Keeping in mind I came from using a standard microsoft mouse since the beginning of time and when I got my first gaming mouse (g700) it blew my mind. although a little hard to get used to the shape I love it way better and I notice its way way better than any of my other mice which are just microsoft standard ones

deathadder or g400

SteelSeries Sensei RAW wired laser 5700 dpi. 

I was using a Razor Plasma Diamondback since '06 (still works great) but lets face it, it has really worn out. So decided to look for a new mouse and saw this SteelSeries Sensei on sale. I've been using it since June and love it. If you can find one check it out, you won't be disappointed.

I am skeptical about razer because I could not log into drivers on the keyboard I had from them. I love how the g700 feels and I cannot tell really the difference between wired and wireless. Did you hook up the usb cord with the bluetooth reciever on the end and set it next to the mouse? I run the same setup though. No battery and wired. I am way way better on this mouse than my old microsoft mouse, would never go back. So if you can convince me that I will actually be able to use my razer product I would buy one. (cant login to drivers because servers are unavailable rendering the product useless)

I've been looking at the Corsair M65. Seems to get good reviews but I would like to find a place that I can hold on to it for a bit along with some others. Coming from a wirelss mouse I do tend to prefer a heavier mouse. Anyone have any experience with the M65 or M60?

If you're still looking for one, here's a Logitech G700 review. 

Affordable yet very durable and precise
