Need a new mouse

post #1 of 6

Thread Starter 
1. What's your grip style?
Along the lines between fingertip and palm grip, but more fingertip than palm

2. What's your sensitivity?
Don't really have one, never really had a mouse that allowed me to adjust it too much.

3. What's your maximum budget?
~75-80

4. Do you want additional buttons?
Yes, but not too much, probably around 5-8 is enough

5. What games do you play?
Currently Diablo 3, but I plan on playing others later on.

6. Do you mind about prediction?
Preferable not from the description

7. Other relevant information:
The primary mice that I have used and am using is the Logitech Bluetooth V470, M555b, and Microsoft Arc Mouse. I don't think I like mice that are too big. I held the Corsair M60 mouse for a little bit, but I either didn't like the shape or the size, it was just uncomfortable for me. The only thing I liked about it was how smooth it moved on my mousepad. I would prefer wired, or a wireless that I can charge via USB. Just so I can be sure, for the wireless mouse that charges via USB, if it is connected, is it still connecting to the PC wireless or through the wire.

There is the ROCCAT Kone+, whicha lot of people like, looks amazing; but some people find it breaks after half a year and suggest you stay away from them. There is also the g700, which is either in price range or a few dollars over.

Those are the two I would suggest for those specifications

Dont go for wireless if you want to play with it. Wireless mice are heavy, which isn't good for your prefered grips, and have some input delay (newer models less, but its still there).
Also the two mice (Roccat Kone and G700) aren't suited for your stated prefered grip!

Imho, here are two different options for you, ambidextrous or "ergonomic" mice:

ambidextrous:
- Razer Abyssus: picky about the used mousepad (jitter on some) otherwise a good sensor and lightweight -> perfect for fingertip grip
- Zowie AM: very hard buttons, good sensor, very low lift-off distance

ergonomic:
- Logitech G400: its a little bit bigger, but some people use it as a fingertip mouse, try it in some shop! Sensor etc... is very good up to 800dpi
- Roccat Savu: lightweight, small and very very good sensor
- Coolermaster Spawn: unique shape, you will either love or hate it, otherwise a very good sensor.

Pick your poison

I doubt if the delay in modern wireless mice (at least the gaming-branded ones) is still relevant - has any measurement been done about this?

It's personal preferrance, and the G700 is wired + wireless, and some people would like that heavy feeling.

You CAN use it wireless but the cord is really stiff and drags down the movement of the mouse badly - almost to the point of unusable. Plus it's not just a little heavy, it's REALLY heavy and wouldn't be recommended for anything fast twitch.
