Will a gaming mouse be worth it?

Hey!!

I was just wondering if i bought a gaming mouse, (Razer Deathadder) would i notice a big difference in games?

Right now i have a cordless Logitech VX Revolution so i was just wondering if it would make a big change as i am thinking of getting the Deathadder.

Thanks!!

Thanks for all your opinions!

For anyone who doesn't know what the VX Revolution is heres a pic.

Thanks!

Serious?!

Thats pretty cool. It does have some pretty good features on it!

Wireless mouses over time show decreases in performance. I purchased a logitec wireless mouse about 3 years ago and it still works but it's very choppy during gameplay. I have a USB mouse with extra mouse buttons and it's very nice gaming. You can program the extra buttons for faster response in things such as reloading, switching weapons, zoom, etc. With games like crysis that have tons of different buttons if you didn't have a mouse with extra buttons you'd find your left hand cramped with keys that are very hard to reach during stressful parts of the game. It's worth it to buy a good gaming mouse.

Its up to you if you think changing dpi settings is helpful in game or/and the extra mouse buttons are worth it.hacker_xyzzy

Sorry i just found it funny.:P

This the guy's mouse BTW.

and a side view.

Again, very nice mouse.

The VX isnt too bad. I have a G5 and I like it. I;m not fan of the razer ergonomics.hotplayer220

Same here. Hated my Razer. The shape was uncomfortable for me. Off to ebay it went. I have a G5 it's infinately better. just my opinion.

hmmmm, so for gaming this would be a good mouse ey? :P

I haven't played many games with it seeing that i havn't updated my computer yet, (i'm in the process now!!) :)

Okay well thanks for all the compliments about the mouse and your opinions. I appreciate it!

Cheers. Feel free to continue the talk still. I think i'll stay with this mouse though now.

Thanks again!

unless you plan on competing at the professional level, it is generally a pretty trivial investment. but if you're into FPS, i'd say it's worth it to get a gaming grade mouse. ultimately, look for something that feels comfortable, has a high DPI rating, and is made by a reliable manufacturer.

the MX518 by Logitech is the sweetest mouse i've ever owned by the way. it can be bought for around $40 nowadays. some more good ones, i hear, are the G5 model and the Razer mice.

Ive got a MX518 i think its pretty sweet 5 buttons +stroll an 5 settingsensitivitys 1click away,its good for its price,

I will never get a cordless mouse unless they discontinue the cord ones

In my opinion, throwing away $80+ on a so called "gaming" mouse is quite ridiculous. The same applies to keyboards. The only possible advantage a mouse like that can have is added comfort. I've made the mistake of wasting plently of money on "better" mouses and keyboards, only to find myself later using the mouse/keyboard that originally came with my pc. A gaming mouse won't make anyone suddenly become a better gamer.DeltaFighter

And yes getting a $80 is quite ridiculous.Mine only cost me $20.
