First gaming mouse - Page 2

positive acceleration is when you swipe the mouse in any direction and it seems to go farther than intended, speeding up along the way.

for example, you swipe 8 inches on your pad but it goes 9 or 10 on your monitor.

thats the best way i can think of it right now without looking it up

i have the G9.. and with my new build i'll get the G9X.. it's is just what a gamer needs

Yeah, this is basically what positive acceleration would do, so I cannot recommend it for first person shooters.

I'll never buy another mouse again after this G500 (unless it breaks of course; I'd buy another one). It's the best mouse I have ever used and it's been going strong 3 years with no problems whatsoever. I highly recommend it. I'm sure the G9X is probably a great option too, but I will always recommend the G500.

None of the gaming mice I'd recommend are in your price range, I'm afraid. I can, however, recommend a wireless mouse that worked perfectly for me gaming for 2 years.

Logitech M705

Pros:

Incredible battery life. I put a pair of lithium AA's in it when I first got it, which not only made it the perfect weight but lasted for 2 years and had 3 more to go according to the monitoring software. I never turned it off. EVER. So 5 years of 24/7 use with a pair of lithiums if the software was telling the truth.

3 thumb buttons are adequate for most games. The rest you can bind to keys.

I never had a problem with the wireless connection, even from a 5 foot distance from the key with metal obstructions.

Unlockable scroll wheel

Cons:

No DPI adjustment, and fairly low DPI.

I experienced a little acceleration in some games, but was able to adjust it out using the software. Mostly games a decade old or older.

And that's all I can think of.



I throw out this suggestion because, to me, this seems like the perfect in-between mouse. It's adequate enough for gaming that you won't feel you're missing out on anything, and it's still extremely reliable and handy. You're used to using a cordless mouse so you don't have to worry about getting frustrated with that until you're absolutely sure that you want a full-on gaming mouse and which one you want. It won't be 40 bucks wasted either, because by the time you're done with it you can always give it to a family member looking as good as the day you bought it and they won't even have to buy a new set of batteries to put in it. Just like I did.

Well I dont know about the prices over there but a mouse worth looking at is the cyborg R.A.T 7/9 it is completely adjustable for any hands size and grip type

Even the RAT3/5 are pretty decent... It just depends on what you find comfortable. I still use my MX510 from '04 more than I do any of my newer mice, because it's seriously unbreakable, very comfortable, and I don't even realize I'm using it.

the G9X is on sale on amazon.. it's just 38$ now grab one

Bah !!!

Razer are excellent mice, I have six different ones and NOT ONE has ever broken. And they are good mice for the price.

I do own 2 Logitech G9 mice and one broke already and went in the trash...



Yes, I have 2 R.A.T. 7's and they are excellent. Paid $140 a piece for them. I got over a thousand bucks worth of high end gaming mice from various companies. The Rats are right up there...
