Thread Starter 
Hello I am looking for a gaming mouse and just cannot satisify myself. If you could please help me choose that would help tons, below are the mice I looked at.


Razer Mamba 2012: Did not like how only scroll wheel lit up, dock is nice but only does blue and green, while my room is red.

R.A.T. 7: Does not light up, like the snipe mode button.


So far im leaning towards the Rat 7 but im still unsure.

I've always been paranoid about Mad Catz as a brand. I'm just not a big fan of it.

what all do you want in a mouse?

So are you looking for a gaming mouse or a light-up accessory to match your room? Because most of your problems sound like aesthetic issues, not mouse problems.

Why do you want wireless?

And you could always get the Razer Naga special edition that comes in red..

Even if you want an FPS mouse, it has more than enough DPI to handle an FPS and you have extra buttons if you ever want them..

Outside of that you could just get the solid black razer death adder since most computer periphs are black these days..

Magic mouse has good traction, and nice angle, smooth wheel is always nice.

Don't listen to the guy above you, he's probably some Apple fanboy who plays TF2 at lowest settings at 800x600 biggrin.gif EDIT: badly

If you want something that's not flashy at all, get something like a Logitech mouse or a Steelseries Xai.

If you want a little bit of e-peen and more flashy lights, the Sensei is the same form factor as the Xai but you can customize its colors.

They all cost quite a bit though, so if you are stuck at all just Phuck the world and get a DeathAdder because it has amazing tracking, nice ergonomics, and is just a solid mouse. EDIT2: The Black Edition is very subtle and has a better finish on it biggrin.gif

Are you kidding me scrub mac are so better because of sleek design, windows is clunky and not user friendly. Magic mouse is innovation so if you dont like it, please leave OCN ok.
