Default best mouse for gaming
Hi guys,
I just lost my G9 and I'm planing to buy a new mouse which is only intended for gaming. I noticed with my G9 that I always kept it on the second dpi level which means that I don't need all the dpi in a mouse. I'm looking at a maximum price of around 130 bucks, but if It will cost less that would be even better. The mouse doesn't really have to be special in terms of dpi, macros, it should just feel good and help me with fps games.
thanks
felix

G5 V2 can't be beat... especially with an Icemat and Hyperglides

Combined these make a frictionless surface that will never wear out.

The absoloute best gaming mouse you can buy, albeit expensive, is the Razer Mamba, both wired and wireless functionality, 5600DPI, designed for comfort and endurance.

Since I don't really know any reputable US Sites, here's a google result.

$130 for a MOUSE?
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826153048
My friend has that mouse and it's great. Ultra comfortable, probably the best mouse i've ever laid hands on, but it's just a tad pricey.
but personally, I would go for a simple wired deathadder for half that, but then again, I wouldn't ever think of spending $130 on a mouse.

Deathadder is the best mouse I've ever owned. hands down.

Logitech G500 i have one and i absolutely love it.

great textures, awesome button placement, and the free scroll is great for speeding down to the off topic part of the OCN home page

I've used a Mamba before... its nothing special. The 5600 DPi isn't a game changer, the real difference at an enthusiast level is the mouse skates and mouse pad. Thats what most people skimp on.

If you play FPSs the extra DPI helps a lot.
