mice

well my g5 fucked up and i need a new mouse what are some of the mouses out there that are really good for a good price

How timely. I think my DeathAdder is dying. I thought it was 1.5 years old, but I went back and checked... it will be only one year old on April 13th. Opened a ticket with Razer, we'll see what happens. But I'll be paying attention to this thread. I really loved the feel of the DeathAdder, but not sure I can recommend it based on durability.

yea i only had my mouse for about 5 months ..

WT made a thread called "all about your mouse"

yea i know but if u read alot of the posts it doesnt really help me most of the ppl are talking bout the same mouse g5,deathadder,and that mx518 or something.

Mx518 is a cheaper/shittier version of the G5...crappy grip, no weights and gets dirty easily..also the right click on mine sticks...waste of 40 bucks...im loving the g5 though..

i have a g5 now and i love it, but im going razer next.

Going to the dark side huh? NOES dont do it.....

Yeah if my G5 shits out on me mostly likely im gonna look at razer..

I have a G9 while not as sensitive as the lates razer mouse it doesnt have the problem it has like cursor moving for no reason i always hear a clan memeber complaining at least once every couple of games. Although i believe there is a beta firmware to address this.
The weights i can live without.
I like the onboard memory just install drivers once setup mouse then unistall them. (you cannot adjust polling rate from default with no drivers)
The look is not everyones cup of tea (yes i drink tea i am british) but you didnt buy it for its looks at least i didnt it feels abit strange if used to 518 or g5 as it is drastically different in shape but you soon get used to it.
The feet on the G9 a way more superior than the 518 or g5 they glide nicer on my mat (func 1030) there is lots more surface area and also they look thicker to begin with so should last longer depending on your mouse surface.
Teh mouse wheel is awsome, while probably no us in game it does make browsing long web pages very easy, quick and silent.
LED show you what snes the mouse is on and also what profile you are using (by its colour) another useful feature. which lacks on the 518 not sure about g5 i never had 1.

Overall i like my G9 it is much better than a 518 but i feel you will not like the price they can be expensive.
Hope this helps.

PS
as for some saying the 518 gets dirty easy, it is only as dirty as your hands are. The reason I bought my 518 was at the time the G5 had only 1 thumb button, I chose extra button over extra dpi and crappy weights any day.

My G5 has no dirt on it whatsoever yet my 518 does...not sure why? Also never had this problem with any other mouse...

I never had a problem with my 518 but i did CLEAN mine every so often.
The 518 is not to be dismissed it is a great mouse but in my opinion has been surpassed by the G9.
Nothing lasts forever but if you maintain it, it wil last longer.

"I have a G9 while not as sensitive as the lates razer mouse"

I am curious about the lechasis, looks like it could go either way ergonomically.
But yea, i have a G9 also, its way way better then the G5 or mx518, dpi makes a big diff imo, and turning off accel, smoothing an all that, makes for a super smooth ride.

Dunno why everyone's mouse dies in a short period....what do you do with it ?!!? ;P
I have my copperhead for over a year now...and still riding... I gotta say that from day one I loved it...but deathadder is cheaper than mine, and is WAY better...so I would advice you that mouse. That's what I'm gonna buy in case my copperhead stops working.

Hehe well That Guy when you have a discussion about gaming mice the G5, MX518, and Death Addder are always going to be part of it. They are hands down three of the most widely used mice out there. I stand by the Death Adder, great specs for a great price, what more could you ask for. And it looks so damn sexy.

yea i chose to get the deathadder and im installing it now

let me know how it compares to a G5.

Woot w0ot! Post on how you like it after like a 2 hour test run.

I know as I was just barely starting to get used to the mouse I had an "Ahha" moment where I could tell the Death Adder was the mouse for me. I'm pretty sure your going to be very pleased.

well its a great mouse is all i can say my aim feels alot smoother and alot better i love the feel of the mouse, I just love the click the buttons thats how much i love the feel of it

Heh yeah its a hard mouse not to love.

I've never cleaned the top of a mouse besides the 518...maybe I just got a shitty one?

I may get the Lechasis soon even though my almost 2 year old G5 is still rockin. It just looks really nice and I wouldn't mind a new mouse with a new rig I'll be getting. They now have that Razer Salmosa coming out too, but its only running 1800 dpi and since I have my G5 maxed out at 2000dpi I might as well get something touchier as I have become very used to the sensitivity and it feels slow now.
