Need a new "Gaming" Mouse - Hardware & Software

[QUOTE=yngndrw;21463294]It's just a shame the drivers let it down.[/QUOTE] i haven't had a problem in what way

[img]http://www.hardware-pacers.com/reviews_images/Microsoft_Intellimouse_Explorer_3/Intellimouse_main.jpg[/img] Probably already mentioned, but it is brilliant. Microsoft Intellimouse 3 [editline]11:19AM[/editline] I've had it for 8 years now, still runs as good as when i got it.

[QUOTE=Rusty100;21463308]i haven't had a problem in what way[/QUOTE] This has happened quite a few times for me: I switch on my computer and the mouse doesn't respond. Left and Right clicks work, but movement does not until I switch it on and off again. Happens in both wired and wireless modes, it's plugged directly into the computer (Not through a Hub.) and I'm using the latest firmware and drivers.

oh yeah i had that once that a driver thing?

[QUOTE=Rusty100;21463436]oh yeah i had that once that a driver thing?[/QUOTE] Well I'm presuming it's a software issue due to the fact that the mouse buttons still work. It's quite annoying, but fortunately only happens rarely.

The Microsoft Laser Mouse is pretty good. Good grip, smooth, responsive and with a nice button layout so you don't accidentally click the side buttons every 10 seconds.

How about Logitech SBF-96? [img]http://cdn2.overstock.com/images/products/P11976226.jpg[/img] I have one from logitech looks like this. Using since 2003-04, and i'm happy with it

[img]http://www.woot.com/Images/Sale/Microsoft__Laser_Mouse_6000DIU-detail.jpg[/img] There's been several generations since I used it ofc but I don't presume the quality got worse with newer versions.

What is the microsoft sidewinder series like?

[quote=.ediT] there has never been a pro 1.6/source player who used anything other than the mice I listed. I believe there was one cgs player who used some random razer mouse and he got cut because he was so bad at aiming. [/quote] Guardian from Reason gaming uses The Mamba from Razer

Just noticed this: [QUOTE=.ediT;21457996]You don't need over 800 DPI/CPI, trust me.[/QUOTE] I find that 5600DPI is not enough at my resolution and sensitivity to have single pixel steps when turning.

[QUOTE=mobrockers;21466108]Your avatar, I do not agree.[/QUOTE] oksry How about this?

Yes.

Ok I will order it once I get my refund for my broken keyboard sometime this week, is that the mouse that has that wicked texture feeling on it?

I have a G5 but Amazon had the Lachesis on sale for $50 for 2 hours today so I ordered one. Seemed like a pretty good deal.

[img]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21DGT39036L._SL125_.jpg[/img] get that, i have, works a charm, you wont be disappointed!

[QUOTE=Sgt Pringles;21473487]Ok I will order it once I get my refund for my broken keyboard sometime this week, is that the mouse that has that wicked texture feeling on it?[/QUOTE] Yep, it's pretty nice. Non-sweat surface.

I really love my g500. If you can get it under $50, snap it up.

At 1600x900 2500 DPI is too much even at 1.0 in game Source engine games. You're seriously doing something wrong. [QUOTE=Alexex;21468912]Guardian from Reason gaming uses The Mamba from Razer[/QUOTE] No, he uses a Deathadder and an Ikari. Guardian isn't that great anyways, php just fucking carries. Speaking of which php is claiming he uses a krait but I'm 100% his cfgs have said he doesn't.

[QUOTE=Strongbow;21403381]Logitec G9 [img]http://www.everythingusb.com/images/list/logitech-g9-news.jpg[/img] It looks fairly small but it isn't really. I have basically a bear paw for a hand and it is perfect. [editline]01:43PM[/editline] [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/174415[/url][/QUOTE] I have one, for someone who has a large hand it might be a bit uncomfortable.

[QUOTE=.ediT;21476217]Good one chief. At 1600x900 2500 DPI is too much even at 1.0 in game Source engine games. You're seriously doing something wrong.[/QUOTE] I use a sensitivity of 5.5 in Source games and use a resolution of 1920x1200. Anything less and I don't perform as well.

-Yeah that didn't come out right so yeah-

I play 1800DPI .4 1920x1200. The way the math works out, he plays with a sensitivity well over 20 TIMES mine. Crazy.
