Thread Starter 
Hello ocn I need help with choosing a new mouse since my old one died right after the two year warranty ended (don't buy Razer by the way.) I been thinking about the g700, who doesn't like wireless right? I play sc2 mostly with a few fps on the side like bf3. Any suggestions is greatly appreciated as long as its not Razer.

I have some questions firstly.

Do you use a claw or a flat grip?

I know you don't like Razer, but do you have any other brand preference?

Price range?

Thanks.

The mice I would recommend would be the:
Logitech G400
Zowie EC
Zowie AM
Roccat Savu

They have very good sensors AFAIK.

Thanks.
Palm grip, I value products over brands as it tends to creates fanboys, $100 max but closer to $75 if you can.

If you don't have large hands, then the Logitech G400 is great for palm grip.

I hate wireless; having to charge the batteries is annoying, and also batteries add weight and size to the mouse, though size is not always bad.

Do you care about acceleration ?
What grip do you use?
What is your Budget?

These are the questions that need answers for recommendations to be made, unless you just want us to blindly throw mice we like at you.

Acceleration no, also try reading next time I know it maybe hard a fourth grader.

I have semi-large hands and what I like about the g700 is the 4 side buttons, not too many 12, not too little 2. The Razer naga hex looks good for this reason but its razer so no.

Don't Logitech mice have quality issues now? double click problems? i was gonna buy a g600 until i heard all this.
If not though go with logitech or Zowie EC/AM or any Steelseries.
I've also heard good things about Corsair M60 but never used one but supposedly they have very good build quality, don't know how they are regarded on OCN though.

I was pointing out it should have been in the original post, the g700 does have acceleration. Saying Acceleration no, does not really explain if you want it or not. Calling people names that would otherwise help you is a good way to make friends here. I have a g500 which is an amazing quality mouse but the acceleration is noticeable to me. Most of the mice with optical sensors and no acceleration have quality control issues sadly. A g400 is as likely to break as a DA imo. Zowie may be a good choice but I know little of their quality.
