I need a new mouse. - Vandamguy - 06-30-2010
Left click is getting a little soft making double / triple clicking errors and the scroll wheel goes up sometimes when I tell it to go down
 looking for some suggestions , or pros / cons for these mice i've been considering :

http://ncix.com/products/?sku=53879&vpn=CCB437080002%2F04%2F1&manufacture=Saitek
should add needs / wants
at least 5 buttons , wireless would be pro but isnt a dealbreaker

The RAT 7 looks amazing. But I have no idea how it would actually feel using.
Re: I need a new mouse. - Vandamguy - 06-30-2010

I will be lurking this thread due to me being in Vandam's position.

sounds like a personal problem
To throw in my 2 cents: imho g5 sucks, they skip pretty terribly at low sensitivities. If you use a really high sensitivity it's not so much a problem, and you probably won't even notice, but for low-sense folks they suck. I have no idea what options Razer has for 5-button mice, but personally I won't be getting another logitech anytime soon.

Haha funny this thread should come up I just ordered myself a mouse from newegg myself. I narrowed thigns down and came to this:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104178&cm_re=logtech_mx-_-26-104-178-_-Product
Though when I ordered last night it was about $35 with free shipping.
I wanted wireless but then I realized no one makes gaming mice anymore that are wireless which kinda sucks. My current wireless mouse is great but it's two years old and is falling apart.
Re: I need a new mouse. - Tricks - 06-30-2010
All I can say is don't let FedEx ship it. :'( :'(
I have a DeathAdder and it works fine, but I think the G5 is kinda the gold standard.

I have a Mamba.
Pros:
- Looks awesome, as does its docking station.
- Comfortable. Ergonomic with nice rubber pads on the sides.
- Ability to change sensitivity quickly using buttons.
- Switches from wired to wireless quickly and easily.
Cons:
- Scroll wheel squeaks sometimes when you mess with it too much (scrolling large documents or webpages). I just click the center button for scrolling though, so it's no big issue for me.
- Freezes on me sometimes. And by sometimes, I mean when it's almost out of juice. So don't forget to stick it on the dock when you're not using it.
Other notes:
- It's a light mouse, and doesn't have additional weights. I like the lightness and quickness of it, but some people want heavy mice.
Re: I need a new mouse. - Versus - 06-30-2010
yeah i hate light mice, fortunately my G5/G9/G9x mice, loaded with the heaviest weights, are satisfactory

The Mamba is large enough to accommodate a palm grip.

bigger than deathadder???
Re: I need a new mouse. - zaneyard - 06-30-2010
the deathadder is big
however, it doesn't work for palm
my copperhead was smaller and it worked
just the way the deathadder is lower to the [mousepad] makes it unable to be used for palm unless you have pussy small hands

*shrug*
I dunno.
All I know is that it is smaller than my old mouse, shown here. Great mouse, until it no longer registered my clicks.
Now that I think of it, I don't actually palm the Mamba. It looks like I am, but my palm doesn't actually make contact with the mouse. But I'm not clawing it either.
I'm confused.
