Gaming mouse

[EviL Ras]

Ras's mouse is dying... I have a logitech G9 that i use with my laptop. its great, but as the wire is put at a weird angle, and they use fabric instead of wire as a shield, the connector is wiggling loose.

So basically i'm after a cheap, wired, gaming mouse, with on the fly dpi reduction, thum buttons, weights, and lights!!! Must have lights!

Any suggestions?

Anything by razer is normally fantastic.

Ah, what you need is a Logitech G9.... oh, wait, something else...

*A G5? It has every thing you want if you count the battery lights as lighty enough Only £50 retail.
*There is the Microsoft Sidewinder - people say it's good n stuff and the pics on the site show it glows, but I'm a purist and believe software manufacturers should stick to that. That's £42ish.
*And yes - the Razers will probably tick the boxes but I find difficulty using them unless you're not right handed... nor left handed. Perhaps a hand coming out of your forehead and being symmetrical might work.

haha, well i could get the logitech g9x, which is the upgrade. but its £50, and was tempted to spend less than that!

Not sure on the razors. they have the lights and things, and i do have the mat. need to see them and hold one really.

I am still using my trusty old MX518 after 4 years solid use. I was thinking of upgrading it once but then thought why bother as it is a solid performer.

For portable use I use my wireless VX Revolution

I have for my laptop the MX518 as well - stonking mouse

for my desktop I use the MX Revolution, again a great mouse but you have to change some of the hotkeys around.

How about a 360 gamepad instead? Much better than a mouse.

My friend gave me his Razer Deathadder and it is awesome. Destroyed my old logitech mx510 hands down. Whatever this thing costs new I would buy it if it ever broke down. but I dont think it has any weights.

My razer diamondback is nearly 5 years old now and still as good as the day I got it

[EviL Ras]

yeah, looks like i may need to look at the razer's. they are flashy lighted!

I've got a MX 518 too, it's been going for about 4 years as well. I also have a diamondback, didn't realise as I bought it online but it is quite a large mouse (I have small hands), so probably better than the 518 (or whatever the newer version is) if you've got large hands.

looked into those as they have all the lights!! Was tempted, but its still £46! still, with promotion looming, perhpas i can settle on a funky gaming mouse for proper!

My dream has come true!

I was desperate for a Roccat kone but the scroll wheel issues really put me off, this new improved one could be my perfect answer!
