Best non-ergonomic mouse?

post #1 of 9
Thread Starter 
Currently have the 2011 edition mamba, can't stand it anymore. The battery only lasts 30 minutes the grips fell off of both sides, the buttons squeak. I've had nothing but issues with razor for EVERYTHING I've had of theirs. I can't stand ergo mice. I need a mouse with 2 extra side buttons, DPI don't matter, I'm a low sensitivity gamer and I use my mouse nearly side ways so ergo won't work for me. Burdget is a max of 100 bucks. Looking for something for accurate shots. I do FPS gaming. I'd prefer non-rubberized grips but it don't matter (I find the rubber grips worse) wireless or wired, I don't cared. Preferred grip would be something with a hard texture and a clicking noise. I don't need any on-the-fly dpi adjustments, something solid, light weight, a bit high off the mat that's SOLID. I don't wanna feel any momentum moving through it when I swing it around. Lazer or optical don't matter, if it's optical, atleast make sure the mouse can go around 5 mm off the mat without tracking movement. I have to raise my other mouse like 5" up before I can effectively put it back down.

Requirements:
5 buttons
RMB, LMB, MMB, 2 side.
Non egronomic

DO NOT POST ANYTHING FROM LOGITECH OR RAZOR. Can't stand either of their products.



EDIT: Also looking for a mousepad. I had the sphex, HATED IT. Currently using this Alienware one I got for free and it's been chewing my wrist up badly. Teflon preferred but I'll take anything that has a solid feel, non slip (mouse side). meaning, I can move the mouse and it won't go sliding off where I don't it to. Soft mats are okay, I'm just not a fan. If any 1 knows where to buy teflon mouse pads along with mouse grips, please let me know asap.

Thx -fire

Zowie AM would work well. The DPI step are a bit weird too so be sure that it's fine with you.
As for the pad, I like my steelseries QCK. It cost about 10$.

That's one of the few I was looking at. Can you fine adjust the dpi? I've tried several mice already, can't use any of them if it's below or under 965
I like short mice btw (buttons are close to bottom thus making it a short mouse) not an issue though.

Mamba's power management is a fail.

I can also recommend the Zowie AM. After several tries I figured out that I prefer ambidextrous, non ergonomic mice. I held a SteelSeries Diablo3 Edition mouse in a store and think that it is the most perfect shape ever for me (XAI, Kinzu, Sensei shape design), but I'm not a fan of of SS. Zowie AM comes closest to that design and is excellent. AM is also available with glossy sides (AM GS). Not sure if the dpi steps and performance on higher dpi will be good for you, it is more of a low sense gamer mouse. I used it on 1150 dpi for some time and had no problems though, but now I'm at 450dpi and couldn't be happier.

The only possible DPI steps are 450/1150/2300. Not sure on how you change the DPI.

There is a button underneath the mouse, near the sensor.

The best mouse pad for the Zowie AM is plain black cloth.
