What's the point of buying a $40 "gaming" mouse?
>>332958787
Gimmicks. That being said I stop falling for the gaming mouse meme and bought a $7 mouse instead.
>mfw can't play anything without my g600 anymore
send help, I'm spoiled
Somerhing about response time and bindable buttons
Of course if you don't care that your mouse has 5ms lag versus 2ms then you probably shouldn't care
There is no point because you need to buy a $100 mouse to stay competitive. I doubt you're even a DMG let alone a Global Elite.
does anyone know a mouse that has a similar extrabutton in M1?

>>332958787
No point to get a gaming mouse except for the extra buttons
>>332959461
Someone sounds jealous that they're not good at video games because of their sub par gear.
Gimmicks costs and dies easily.
Most chinese mouses you can get on dx will outlast most big brands out here

Nice try, marketer.
Do I have to buy a 4k monitor and 2 titans too by tomorrow or I will die?
>>332959518
But i have quality logitech mice, I am not poor like you who has to play near f2p skin collection games with underage BR shitters. Stay mad.
>>332958972
are you me?
>>332959337
This one, granted it's on the opposite side.
I bought this fucker for 30$ and it's nice as fuck. I don't play any mmo's but being able to basically play any game off your mouse alone is pretty neat, especially with the planet coaster alpha I've been playing, binding shit to make building easier is real good.
I have a mouse that looks just like that, probably the same one because it too was cheap, and it's certainly not very comfortable. It's small and easy to carry with my laptop though.
>>332958787
More buttons and different shape mostly. Some better features like using special keybinding to make a button do turbo clicking or something.
I am currently using that shitty logitech MMO mouse that for some reason when playing WoW or any other mmo the god damned middle click stops working. The G600. I stopped playing mmos and now i use the 12 buttons on the side for so many things in other games that i'd feel gimped not using it. For ARPGs i can usually bind every attack and menu command onto the mouse and play with one hand. Its so fucking convenient.
Just don't get anything thats LE GAMER GEAR. They're usually over priced, just get the button scheme you want and make sure you read up on whether or not the mouse has massive flaws. They will release hardware with massive flaws that they never fix, its disgusting really. Be careful.
>>332958787

Because you don't use your mouse for anything demanding like quake or CSGO. If you actually cared you would notice that cheap mice have fucking shitty sensors. Go back to your shitty linux and type hello world applications on your laptop
>>332959337
A4TECH X7 is what I have
>>332960483
There is absolutely nothing wrong with having more buttons. Its very convenient. Its all luxury, none of its needed but its pretty great to have.
>>332960581
I don't play FPS, so maybe you are right.
But since every FPS is full of 12 year olds, then who cares.

>>332958787
Half a decade ago, I fell for the gaming mouse meme when mine died. I bought one of the most expensive wireless mice on the market.
Due to being wireless, and the position of the USB receiver, there were several blind spots. When turned at an angle, there was zero response. In a game where mouse based movement is mandatory, blood pressure can skyrocket in seconds.
>>332958787
your mouse probably has a shitty censor, but you don't realise it cause you've gotten used to it.
Been using a Steelseries Rival for two year, the scrollwheel is fucked, the rubber on the sides wore off within a month or two. The sensor is on its way out and it feels cheap.
Just gone back to using my 4 year old Razer Imperator and literally everything about it feels better. Feels solid and well built, the scrollwheel is good, the sensor is still good and it just feels better all round.
Steelseries never again.
I got a MX518 about 10 years ago, and still using it today. At one point I had to open that shit up and clean it all the way since the scroll wheel didn't roll no more. After cleaning it was good as new. If my mouse breaks, I probably buy the same one. I don't care how it looks, got no time to look at it when I'm gaming anyway lel
>>332958787
>im used to shit so everyone else should be
long as you dont buy ricer trash the more expensive mice will work for years and have far better sensors.
same with mechanical keyboards. they are also comfortable to use every day.
a nice mouse feels a lot more responsive and accurate than a cheap one
after using a good mouse for a while you can immediately feel the shittiness of using a cheap mouse
using cheap wireless mice is vomit inducing
you don't need a $100, 50 button mouse though, just get a $30-$40 logitech mouse
>>332958972

Got the Imperator in 2012 and it started to double click 6 months later. Since everything about worked fine i got myself a autohotkey script and that worked like a charm for another year until the double clicking slowly spread to all the other buttons on the mouse including the wheel. Two months ago i got the Rival 100 and i'm happy. Just had to get used to using 1000DPI up from 800 i've been using since 2004.

Come back when you have had the Rival for about 6 months.
I have had a few Steelseries mice and apart from the XAI they have all gone to shit.
Ask someone who got to MG1 using touch pad anything.

I still have some glide tapes from my earlycs1.3days. Bought like 10 packs of them because i thought i'd run out, never did.

>What's the point of buying a $40 "gaming" mouse?
this
>>332963415
I did some research and settled with the Rival 100 because it didn't have the same issues as the 300(cord getting loose, cheap wheel, teflon feet wearing off, sensor going in and out, double clicking) while being priced nicely at 30 bucks.
>>332958972
Shiiiiit. Same here. I got these buttons assigned to so many tasks in games/programs, I don't think I could go back to 5 mouse buttons.
>>332964034
You become Junji Ito?
I have big hands with long grubby jew fingers. The only mice I've had that were comfortable have been "gaming" mice. It's not hard to find one that is reasonably priced, is comfortable, and works long enough to make the price easier to stomach. Just wore out a Razer Deathadder after seven years of heavy use.
It just werks.
>>332965197
That's a great mouse for shitposting on /v/ with.
I can't use a mouse with side buttons, the way I hold it (a combo of the "grip" and "rest" methods) I always accidentally hit the side buttons. I buy cheap as fuck regular mice and I'm just fucking fine.
Gaming mice are a scam anyway, but even if you're ok with the side buttons, paying anything over a small amount for a mouse is insanely stupid.
Ya it's a 40 dollar mouse.
Pls
>>332965654
I just gotten used to two thumb buttons because they make browsing files and websites so much easier. But i don't have any use for more buttons. Left and right, two thumb buttons and the wheel and i'm good.
>>332960639
I had one of those. The middle mouse button and wheel broke in 7 months and I had to use that extra button as the middle mouse click.

Yes there is. Look at the rest of the thread.

Mechanical keyboards with Filco OEM are great. CM Storm has keyboards built like tanks.
As for mice, there's not much you can get for 20USD. G100s
However, buy whatever fits your needs. If you don't need a good/flawless sensor, then buy your cheap shit.
Only Logitech mice worth the price tbqh.

>What's the point of buying a $40 "gaming" mouse?
Have you ever:
>played an FPS where you were trying to aim at a long-range target but the crosshair wouldn't move in small enough increments?
>played a game where you could place furniture, crops, or whatever else, that weren't locked to a grid, and had to spend several minutes trying to place one thing perfectly?
>tried to move a slider to a specific number, but kept overshooting not matter how finely you moved the mouse?
It happens less the better your mouse is.
It makes a considerable difference. Gaming keyboards are dumb, they don't really do anything but using a default mouse that came with the computer and it was extremely imprecise, floaty and had weird accel. Got a zowie FK and it's a whole different deal.
Swapped between zowie, logitech and steelseries, and all of the mice i've used have felt different. Some worse, some better.
Zowie is a nice middleground, Logitech is better for snap aiming, quick flicks etc. while Steelseries was very good for tracking, following the target. Though i've fiddled around with the DPI and sensitivity so that obviously matters.
Just my 0.02$
>>332970495
better get yourself one of them mionix 7000 series brah. they be nice.
>>332970495
I use one. Lots of CS:GO pros are picking it up. The scroll wheel isn't perfect, but I use it a lot for jumping and sometimes it gets stuck (not stuck so much as in limbo) between clicks and will click easier than I'm expected or when I move my mouse. This only occurs if you do not let off the wheel entirely when you finish scrolling and end up getting it there.
The shape is similar to the WMO, but ergonomic.
>>332970865
>Logitech is better for snap aiming, quick flicks etc.
Holy shit shut up.
> Steelseries was very good for tracking, following the target.
Stop for the love of God.
I'm still using a $10 Belkin mouse I stole from a school computer lab 8 years ago, it works fine. The only games I play are Doom, visual novels, and emulators anyways, so it's not like I need a $200 gaymer mouse.
>>332970919
Thanks for the suggestion, I've been looking for a new mouse.
>>332971058
I used a g500, since it was made pretty heavy it was easier to memorize the amount i had to move it, which worked well with high sens.
I used a steelseries sensei back then when i had low sens, and it worked well even if it took a while to get used to the accel.
It's a generalization of my own experience, not saying it was decisive.
>>332958787
Hey guys. I can't seem to create threads for some reason so I'll just post here:
How do I gitgud at FPS? Playing vermintide atm.
I can't seem to hit shit, head shots are totally out of the question, even if enemies walk straight at me. Haven't played in 10 years bc life but recently decided to reduce work to 3 days/week to get back into my old hobbies so I got plenty of time.
>>332971721
Got an old razor mamba mouse btw if that helps.
>>332971434
>It's a generalization of my own experience
Well you really interpreted your experience terribly and did not voice that even remotely within reason in your post. Considering you only used 1 mouse from each brand do you consider that an accurate generalization?
You second post was definitely a lot better than the first, but the G500 is laser trash. (I used it too, great mouse until Igot gud.Sensei uses a flawed sensor (you acknowledged this). Are these sub-par mice enough experience to make a broad generalization of all Logitech and SteelSeries mice?
Do you think that your sensitivity had not to do with your aim, that it was only the mouse?
Please do not give mouse advice to people. Instead, educate yourself and then link other people to a guide and educate them.
>>332971721
1. knowledge is power, so familiarize yourself with the mechanics of the game you're playing: recoil patterns, damage, bullet drop, effective range etc.
2. develop muscle memory and train your aim. something like this could help. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9crP7rsj8E
3. play more. git gud.

Lower your sensitivity and practice. Run drills with and try to remove anything that creates inconsistency.
>Get a good mouse
>Practice versus bots.
>Prioritize accuracy over speed.
>Play a lot.
One drill I like to do is to aim at two fixed points (stationary bots or fixed points on the map) and aim slowly at them. This just gets me warmed up and helps with muscle memory. I pick up speed during the drill, until I'm not trying to be slow anymore.
>>332972167
I used a g400 and a Rival as well, actually. The g400 was pretty good, the rival meh. Kind of nonplussed about it.
I was really good with the g500 though. I used it when i playedTF2at a high level, and never had any issues with it. I feel comfortable saying that it, for me, was a good mouse.
What was your problem with the g500 if you don't mind me asking? The steelseries mice were definitely the weaker of the mice for me, I had heard of zowie before but from the looks of them they looked like they didn't work well for my relatively large hands and palm grip, which is why i had used the steelseries mice before making the switch finally.
Didn't really mean to give advice, especially since the two mice i mentioned are now not even produced anymore to my knowledge.

Thanks alot. Yeah reason for me sucking so much might be using really high DPI on my desktop for years. Will be hard to slow down now.
Just a last question. How do mouse settings and game settings interact? I guess I'll have to test every game I play for my prefered sensitivity settings even if I have my mouse all set up from other games, right?
>>332972953
>What was your problem with the g500 if you don't mind me asking?
Laser mice were not as good as optical until the recent G series Logitech released. g500 had angle snapping issues (if I remember correctly). I liked it a lot, until I got the g400 as a replacement when the mouse cable fucked up, which was my fault sadly.
I did not like the Rival, build quality and the shape. Far too large for my hand and overall not comfortable, but I had no issues besides that in the small time I used it.
>Didn't really mean to give advice
It's fine, I educated you hopefully. I wish I could say I didn't mean to be rude, but that would be a lie. Regardless, I love you.

Funny you should mention the mouse cable btw, that's the reason I've had to switch my mice.

>>332958787

>>332958787
I once bought a Logitech mouse for 15€. It had laser colours on the sides (changing from purple, to blue, pink, red,green, etc).
That mouse was so good it lasted me well over 4k combined hours of CS 1.6+Source and the only reason I got a new one was it was filthy as fuck from all the grease and skin flakes it accumulated over the years.
TL/DR: some mouses are simply GOAT . the one in your pic looks uncomfortable, tho.
>>332958787
I have big hands, £5 mice are usually way too small for me. I use gaming mice purely because they're comfortable.
>>332973656
Protip: Disable all acceleration. Especially "Enhance Pointer Precision" in your windows mouse settings.
The mouse is a physical object so the sensitivity translates to a physical measurement.
Keep your mouse on the same DPI and put windows to 6/11 (middle setting).
I use my mousepad as a guide for new games. I put my mouse in the same spot and move it from one side of my mouse pad to the other. It moves about 330 degrees in 12.6 inches (less distance actually, I'm not counting from the sensor, but from the edge of the mouse.
CS:GO is at 2.4
This will help you decide what sensititivy to use:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwT5fXEloxg
Different games will have different settings for sensitivity, just focus on trying to get the same amount of movement in game relative to how far you move your mouse. Do this after you find a sensitivity that suits you.
Lastly, there's true sensitivity:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrEXoA76KxA
True sensitivity is advanced, do not worry about it if you do not understand it.
>>332974245
>I finally figured out i could tape my mouse cord to the table to stop it from getting wear and tear.
Same. It also helps you not have to pull the weight of the whole cord around.
>>332974353
actualy, I had to get a new mouse because I fucked up the mouse button by pulling it out to clean the gap right under the mouse button.
It was filthy as fuck and gross as fuck. But I didn't know what I was doing and broke the fucking mouse button.
Anyway, it still lasted me well over 4k combined hours of CS 1.6 and CSS play. I miss that mouse.
>>332974914
Same thing happened to my G400. Once i took it apart it never felt the same. The G400s didn't feel the same, so I've given that away.
G400/MX518 were GOAT
>>332974750
This anon's post is GOAT.
You don't need 50€ mouses. You just need a mouse which doesn't derp the fuck out around the screen and then manually adjust the sensitivity in-game (preferably adjusting values inside the console).
Bottom line is, If you're getting a gamer mouse just to press the DPI button and call it a day you're a dumb motherfucker. People who get functional 15€ mouses and tweak the console settings will fuck your shit up.
