What is the general consensus on mice?
What do you use and do you like it?
I use a g100s and it's okay, I'd like to upgrade soon though.

Its 2016. Literally any mouse works. Inputphiles are only slightly better than audiophiles.
>>55179218
I've come to the sudden realization that this is true to some degree and have been wasting my time scrolling through specs for no reason.... thanks.
>>55178883
If you don't use claw grip, it's time to learn it.
>>55178883
I use kind of a mix between the palm and and claw grip. My hand is arched like the palm grip but the amount of contact is the same as the claw grip.

>>55178883
I've always used a fingertip grip.
Unfortunately, this limits my choice of mouse to the cheaper and lighter end of the spectrum. Rockin' a cheap razor mouse arm. I just can't use those fancier, heavyish mice.
Palm grip master race.
Steelseries rival 300 and fingertip grip here. So damn comfy

I used to think I had a claw grip, until I really took a good look at how I actually used mice and what mice I used
Now everything is keyboard driven on my Debian install, feels good man

>2016
fucking gamer faggots
>claw grip
Looks like some shit my grandmother would do
>>55179841
Because capitalism
Generally fingertip but sometimes palm sine the Kone XTD is so damn comfy
>>55178883
They're all shit.
>>55178883
I think my grip style (something like fingertip) is exacerbating injury for me.
I can force myself to use palm but the feel of it is just so horrible.
>GOD TIER MOUSE
the one i got for free
>SHIT TIER GARBAGE MOUSE
the one you chose on your free will and paid for
Fingertip is the patrician grip
Palmfaggots can suck dick

I have a feeling you own an Abyssus, and that your left mouse button will die a slow death.
Used to palm grip until the fucking g602 rubber started smelling like shit
>>55183017
>great specs don't exclude the ugly as shit design
>>55178883
Meh, I use a dell mouse (rebranded razer) and a Verbatim ~$15 laser mouse. Both work well. As for position I'm fingertip grip, my hands are too big for most mice.

Impossiburu.
What do you use and do you like it?
Finger-Tip grip with comfy arm rest and a nice little mouse with rubber sides.
Someday I will master the memes of mouse modding and finally be happy.
>>55178883
things that matter are
>do you like the feeling of the mouse in your hand
>do you need makro keys
thats it , no one care about dpi or what kind of teflon thing is on the bottom, just don't buy 5dollar mouses
just bought a razer naga chroma wire/less. feel like retiring my razer naga molten. Wanted the same thing but wireless. Used this one for 5 years with no problems. hopefully the same comes from this one.
>inb4 Razer
it werks
>>55183017
What kind of retard thought that would be a good-looking design?
It looks like it's been thrown against the floor several times what the fuck.
>>55187531
They use either a USB dongle or bluetooth. They all just werk.
>>55179838
that's fingertip grip you mong
Any mice like the G300s where buttons 3 and 4 are on the topside?
My G300s just shat itself.
Are Zowie ever going to release a ZA13-sized equivalent to the EC2 line?

imo the only important thing is how it feels in your hand, i. e. weight, width and height. Rest is bs.

Ok let's pick a current mouse like the MX Master:
>125hz mouse polling rate on a 144hz+ monitor has no effect
>1600 max DPI makes no difference between a 1080p and 2160p monitor
>Requiring a user to download software/drivers is the same as using a plug-and-play peripheral
>Software interface should have no value but mouse ergonomics do
I could go on but this is clearly ridiculous contrarianism. Picking a mouse hasn't been that simple as you suggest for a long time. Mouse hardware/software has been competitive for years.

Deathadder, has worked pretty well for 2 years, no problems yet.

Fingertip grip + Roccat Savu = nirvana tier

You did it! You solved the riddle!

kek that's what people that have been on a shitty generic mouse all their life say
my imperator died(great mouse but shite quality)
and going from that to some wireless logitech is fucking horrible
I have a first edition Razer Mamba, which I bought when my (very reliable) Razer Copperhead finally died.
I do like the button placements (a personal thing) and the ability to adjust the DPI on the fly if I need finer work.
However I would not recommend it, at all. Its firmware is a bit unstable sometimes, if one of my (very long) hairs gets between the mouse and the mousepad it entirely loses tracking, and I haven't been able to use it wirelessly for about two years because it has the battery life of a dead mosquito.
Somewhere along the line Razer went from "actually quite good gamershit" to "shit tier gamershit", and I lament that I didn't notice.
Still using it for now; it works. I have no idea what I'd replace it with when it breaks. I have small hands and some of those mice look really uncomfortable.

Audiophiles, everyone.

But that's objectively true.

he pretty much said every mouse is the same
he is very wrong, so what i said is true. sure this one will work, but it's annoying and inaccurate as fuck, so as far as im concerned its shit.
>>55192158
i can't play cs go with this shit, are you a geriatric or a wage cuck?
>all these cheap mouses costing +$60
kek, still using a 1.1se that i bought for $20 ten years ago.
>>55191444
>shit because tracking is interrupted by detritus blocking the sensor
>rubber coating
For what purpose? I have literally never had a mouse slip from my hand while using it.
>>55193005
That shit wears away too. Planned obsolescence.
>>55179930
>>55182867
Unless you use the mouse all day, it makes zero difference.

Maybe if your sweat is made of acid. The coating on my mouse is going on 4 years without notable wear.
>>55193597
>Maybe if your sweat is made of acid
Isn't it?
>Sweat is mostly water. Dissolved in the water are trace amounts of minerals, lactic acid, and urea.
>trace amounts of lactic acid
I know you don't know this, but the reason elevator buttons are embossed is because of the acidity of sweat.

> tfw you've got big-ass hands and claw girp is your only option
I am using this mouse. For 7 dollars I'm pretty happy with it. Also I change between fingertip and palm grip, depending how my hand is feeling.
>>55179770
Steelseries xai fingertip grip. Got me to top 300 world wide in sc2. Master grip.
>>55193839
Also, who has small enough hands for a comfortable palm grip. Are ya'll ladies?
I use a mouse from a chink company named r-horse. It has a breathing light effect and I think that's just comfy.
If you must use a mouse, you might as well use one that won't cripple you.
