Selecting a new gaming mouse - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=Saphiric;28015382]Mionix Naos 3200. It basically has all the features of a 518 with a really really comfy case. Also, it looks nicer. [img_thumb]http://www.mionix.net/datas/users/naos_3200_3_0_0.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] Except it doesn't have as good of a sensor.

Mx518 errday Best 20 quid I have spent in a long time.

[QUOTE=Odellus;28015796]Except it doesn't have as good of a sensor.[/QUOTE] It has higher DPI if you're into that sort of thing. I don't know the other details of the sensor.

My Deathadder has been going strong for 2 years, my G5 on the other hand died in a year.

I haven't had anything die on me, ever. My three year old motherboard has been in my brother's computer for about 8 months now and it's still going strong, my OCZ keyboard I gave him that's three years old also is still going strong, the monitor I gave him, the mouse I gave him, all of it is still working perfectly fine after three years.

[QUOTE=Catdaemon;28035606]you're just lucky[/QUOTE] No I feel the same as Odellus I have had a whole Core 2 setup along with peripherals that I built in 2006 last to this day without one problem and now it rests peacefully as a HTPC.

Only now is it starting to fail (northbridge fan). I know of many people with my hardware who have had it fail after a few months. One day you'll buy a hard drive, put your shit on it and watch it fail straight away. It's all luck. It will eventually happen to you.

[editline]13th February 2011[/editline] A lot of you must just treat your hardware like shit.[/QUOTE] I had a G5 for like 4-5 years and it stopped working about 5 months ago, the laser just stopped working. I didn't drop it or anything. So I went and got a G500. :v: I'd prefer a G5 over it though, the little part of the forward button that goes out is annoying. Can't really find G5s anymore though.

I've had mine for about 2 years or so and the mousewheel and side buttons are starting to stick and become unresponsive.[/QUOTE] Agreed. Ive had the deathadder for two years now and have been more than pleased. It feels nice, it moves nice, its had awesome response time. I have noticed over the past month a reduced feedback from the middle mouse and side buttons, but it is not a complaint since ive had it for so long. I plan on buying a new one before next quakecon. On another note, there are mainly 3-4 mice being argued over, and no one is convincing anyone else, so to each is fucking own. You buy what you think feels nice.
