New Mouse

post #1 of 25

Thread Starter 
Evening, so I already put up a post today about a keyboard but I didn't think it was appropriate to ask about a mouse under the keyboard section so I will post it here. I got a Logitech m500 gaming mouse, it's getting old had it for over 2 years or so now. I really want to upgrade im looking for a fair priced mouse for gaming specifically GW2 and CS:GO I am looking into the Razer Naga Molten right now but i'm not sure about that one, any recommendations, opinions options are welcome.

Thank you for your time thumbsupsmiley.png

^... What is comfortable to you should be priority one. Having said that here is my suggestion:

I've owned many Logitech over the years (MX518, G7, G9, and another I can't remember the model), they have a good feel to them, nothing special though. They were all junk! Every single one of them produced connection issues than would cause the mouse to cut out periodically. This is a common problem. Now, let's say I had nothing but perfect mice from them... My new mouse still beats them all hands down in comfort, glide, button response, grip (texture), and overall responsiveness - The Razer Deathadder 3.5G!

I highly recommend this mouse... Take a gander at it here:

Maybe it was your computer and not the mouse that caused the disconnects.... ?

@OP Logitech mice are fine and very rarely cause the problems that Rmerwede mentioned (unless you buy one with a braided cable and leave it out in the sun headscratch.gif)
If you've had a m500 for this long then either a G400 or G500 is a good buy. G500 is the same as G400 except it has custom DPI profiles, changeable weights and 9 buttons (IIRC).
Depends on your local price between the two and whether you can justify the extra $$ for the features.

I personally wouldent get a Razer mouse, they feel rather flimsy with their plastic builds. I like my mice heavy and with a solid feel thumb.gif

No. The mice had problems on 3 different PC's and the problems stopped immediately after I got the Deathadder. Believe me, I have tried every fix under the sun. Just google "Logitech cutting in and out", and you will see it is a wide spread problem. But, gratz on being lucky with your mice.
