I'm in the market for a new mouse, what is /v/ currently using
Is it comfortable?
>>340282485
Zowie FK1, yes.
>>340282485
>Need new mouse
>Probably an actual gaming mouse
>hate how they all seem to be marketed for the Doritos & Mtn Dew crowd.
>At my local Wal Mart, I happen to see a MadCatz "Rat 3" is discounted to 20 bucks.
>God damn, is it an ugly mouse.
>Comfortable as fuck, tho
If you can get them cheap, I'd recommend that. It's my favorite gaming mouse. It looks like someone stepped on it, but it's so damn comfortable.
>>340282485
the 303 is fucking gorgeous and super comfortable.
ive heard about some sensor rattle issues but i havent had that
>>340282485
>>340282650
Zowies are good. Minimalistic with quality components and no ugly ricer shit. They're pretty cheap too. I'm using AM-FG atm.
High tier (top 1%) Starcraft 2 and Brood War player here. Been using the Zowie FK1 at 800 DPI for about 1 year now. Fantastic mouse.

>>340282485
you could try a Mionix
>>340282485
I have the one in you're pic, pretty comfy, love the scroll wheel
for when I need both hands.
>>340282485
Using the Steel Series Sensei. It's alright. Prefer it to the Mamba I had, the scrollwheel felt shakey in that thing, and it'd sometimes right-click when I left-clicked. I was given it by a friend though, he had it for a couple of months.
>>340283670
I have this one also. The top layer of plastic iss starting to show cracks and come off, but otherwise its a great mouse.
>>340283765
>Holy shit I want one
>140 dollars
>not that much
>>340283670
Unrelated question. Do people still play Brood War?
>>340282485
g303
>>340283765
Reminds me of the first episode of No game no life where they're playing two MMO characters at once.
>>340284004
Yes, they do. People don't play on the official servers, but there are 2 big private ones. Fish and ICC. Fish is a korean server that has a huge amount of active players. During peak hours it has about 30-40k people playing. Sadly they recently blocked non-koreans by adding a phone verification that only works with korean numbers. Then there's ICC, which has relatively few people online but those who are online usually don't idle and are searching games, so you can find a ranked game in about 30 seconds, you just end up playing the same people pretty often. I'd say the game is pretty fucking alive for being 18 years old.
>>340283745
The scroll wheel is honestly the biggest reason I bought it too. What the fuck is up with every mouse having a shitty soft rubberized mouse wheel nowadays.
pic related - it feels like shit
>>340282485
get a g502
Gigabyte M7.
Cost me just over $20 and it's fantastic.
dell gaming mouse
Zowie looks bland as fuck, Razor looks edgy and stupid. Get Logitech for a nice balance of blandedge.
the case on zowie mice is shit and breaks easily, don't get one.
Make fun all you want, but this shit right here is the comfiest mice I've ever laid hands on. It was like $20 CAD on Amazon when I got it and
It's been amazing so far. If anyone is interested its the redragon centrophorus. Pretty sure you can find it between 15-17 USD.
G400s
Had it for almost 3 years, it's starting to double click occasionally, and the scrolling wheel sometimes scrolls when you touch it so you have to spin it a bit to fix it. Great mouse otherwise
>>340285095
it's not about comfort, it's about having a mouse with a decent sensor.
What's the recommended DPI?
>>340282485
G5 (blue one) > G500 > G700 > MX Master.
All of those have been comfortable. I really wanted to try the G502 and G900 but I just cant stand the new design of their gaming mouses.
>>340286565
Whatever feels best for you.
>>340286565
That mostly depends on your monitor resolution and how you move your mouse around.
>>340282485
Honest answer?
Logitech G502. That's it.
Logitech G402
Just got it. It replaced my Razer Abyssus which is still the best mouse Razer ever made in terms of ambidextrous design.
![51DexhjR+vL[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/buSTS4Q.jpg "51DexhjR+vL[1].jpg")
I got this for less than $10 about a year or so ago. There's a definitely better mice out there, but I like it
>>340282650
ec1a and ec2a have a better scroll wheel.
>>340287862
For 10 bucks that's probably a good deal but holy fuck is it ugly.
>>340284958
Who cares how it looks as long as it performs well, who are you trying to impress?
>>340286565
l33t lolz gaming mouze with 10000k ! dpi is what you need. More dpi = better mouse anon!
Ok I am a total noob about Mice. I just need to know.
What's the difference between DPI and Sensitivity?
>>340285678
god forbid gaming be a pleasurable experience
![nspn3rfxyujlx9aigifd[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/9y5Sww9.png "nspn3rfxyujlx9aigifd[1].png")
>>340287956
It looks a little better in person.
>not paying $150 for a g900 and 10/10 mouse
wew
>>340286565
I play at 1800. I got used to it from work where faster movements actually made me more productive.
If you like moving your arm (not just the wrist) then 800DPI should suit you. If you are a wrist guy like me then 1800 or 2400 would do well.
>>340288062
DPI (dots per inch) is a measurement of how sensitive the sensor is.
Sensitivity is the setting in the game that together with your mouse DPI manage how fast your crosshair moves on screen.
>>340283708
>you SHOULD try a Mionix
ftfy
Anyone got a recommended mouse list?
there's one from /g/ but it's very outdated
>>340288394
Ok, so what's the difference if you have high DPI but low sensitivity? Doesn't that just cancel each other out if that happens?
Lol don't listen to any of these shitters telling you logitech or razer.
Logitech used to be good but their quality is shit these days and I hate the logitech mouse I have now. Razer and madcatz is literal garbage don't even think about giving your money to those jews.
Zowie is pretty much the best out there, I'd go with that or any comparable minimalist/high quality build optical mouse.
Any good mice out there with some macro keys on the side? Not a lot, but something I can bind things to when games go full retard with control schemes.
>>340288596
basically any model that uses a 3310 sensor and feels comfortable for you and covers the additions features you want will be perfectly fine - as long as you're using a black cloth mousepad at least because 3310 can be picky. i recommend looking into mionix they're great.
>>340288695
Yes. You use sensitivity to tweak depending on your DPI and preference.
Some games have shitty sensitivity options so it's pretty useful to have a mouse with adjustable DPI.
Been using the same DeathAdder 2010 version since march of 2010 and it's still going stronk. Wish it would die so I would have an excuse to buy something that matches the rest of my color theme
>>340289295
>ooh, my mouse hasn't shit the bed yet it's so great
do this if you want to shill your own shit people
>>340289235
>>340289053
So in the end it's actually just a gimmick?
>>340282485
Logitech g400 with the cable replaced with one from my old mx518. Much better and thicker.
>>340289896
It's not really a gimmick but too many clueless people seem to think that higher DPI is automatically better.
Esreality use to post a quarterly mouse thread with a tier list
>>340290301
No no, I meant gimmicks like, "this mouse has 10k DPI!" "this mouse has 12k though!" like that?
This is a bit off topic, but what's a decent keyboard I should pick up? I tried out my friend's mechanical keyboard (he said they were red switches) and when I pressed down I felt like they stopped too early. Basically what's a keyboard I can get without breaking bank? Also does anyone have that gif detailing the different switches?
>>340290404
Yeah, shit like 12k DPI is absolutely useless.
>this
>>340286565
Sensor's native.
>>340287890
That's not saying a lot zowie scrollwheels are dogshit
>>340289235
what's this supposed to show
>>340282485
I'm using that same mouse, and i love it. It's the best mouse ive used so far.
>>340282650
The only correct answer is a Zowie.
>>340283341
>the 303 is super comfortable
said literally no one ever
>>340284958
>caring how your mouse looks
spotted the 14 year old
I have been using the steelseries Xai for years now and it's pretty good, I'm using it on a cloth probably better on a hard mat. I have used razer mouses before and they break after a few months, do not buy.
Steelseries sensei raw, best and most comfy fucking mouse i've ever had
>>340292070
spotted the neet without friends or self steem
>>340283765
I'm having everything I thought I knew about jacking off on the internet questioned.
Best mouse coming through.
Had no problems with this mouse and I have it something over 2-3 years for like 20 bucks.
>>340292979
>>340292979
have it, too, it's pretty good.
shame about the gamer desgin, though.
>>340282485
Good ol' Razer Taipan, it's slick, very good movement/accuracy, rather cheap now and doesn't need the razer software to work
>>340292979
correct
>>340290890
no one is going to talk about it? lol
g300s, it's good and relatively cheap.
Fite me.
>>340294451
Forgot pic.
>>340292979
I don't like the scroll wheel's feel. Good overall though
>>340286565
whatever i can react faster with
800 is too slow
3100 is too fast
1600 is just fine
I really dislike the new Logitech logo.
>>340294451
g300 is just ok to me, not a fan of the buttons on the right, would have prefered then under my thumb
>>340286565
anything over 800 is for absolute retards
Logitech is for poorfags. Get this. Majority of Razer products suck hard but this is the best on the market.
>>340295791
You moron.
I'm rocking a Roccat Savu.
It's alright. Pretty comfy for me. Had it for about six years now.
Logitech G500 here. Once this one breaks (I know it never will) I will get a mouse with more thumb options. But other than that the mouse is perfect.>>340296178
>>340284562
interesting. think someone who's never played any game like that before (other than Dota 2 for like 4k hours) could get into it?
>>340295791
Fuck off Razar shill. Deathadders break down after a year or two of use.
>>340296424
Why do you need more thumb options?
>>340296903
really? shit
>>340295791
fite me
>>340296774
Haha, funny. I was gone since I've made that post and just when I sat down you replied.
Well, you could still start Brood War, but it would be very rough.
The guides on liquipedia are pretty good.
http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft/Main_Page
But building up the muscle memory takes a lot of time and since mostly only vets play it you can expect to have a 5% winrate in your first 250 games or so. I'd suggest giving SC2 a shot instead, it's pretty much just as hard on the top level, but starting is a lot easier and it's not nearly as dead as people say it is.
>>340295791
fuck off
>>340296903
my first deathadder broke down after a year
then i bought into logitech because the mx518 was shilled back then, that one broke after half a year
my second deathadder lasted me for 5 years now
>>340297620
call of duty mice? really? gtfo
>>340294875
It's better on the g502 spectrum, it also doesn't have the goofy blue on it and you can change the color of the light on it.
>>340282485
Logitech m100. Wired optical, scroll wheel and two buttons. Literally all you need from a mouse for 10 bucks.
ducky secret the plastic feels less shit than my g502
the dpi/settings button is underneath so its difficult to change but impossible to accidentally hit
there is no software you change all the settings by press the button on the bottom and in combination with other buttons
RGB LED meme but you can turn them off
its the most comfy a mouse has been for me since g500 died, you also get a stupidly large mouse pad with it
Sort of related, but has anyone had a good experience using something like pic related for gaming? My PC is hooked up to the living room TV and I pretty much only use gamepads with it, but I've been wanting to try this.
I have small hands and have used small mice for years. Also, I claw grip them like a spastic. Can anyone similar recommend a decent gaming mouse which would work well for me?
>>340298745
Unrelated but incredibly opportune question.
I have the exact same model you shown in the pic that I bought for my gf for Christmas. She of course didn't buy her new phone until last week so I can't return it. I had ordered the blue tooth version but they sent me the wireless version. Do you have the Bluetooth or the wireless version?
If it's the Bluetooth, does it connect to an android phone without needing the fucking dongle? I can't find proof anywhere I look that it doesn't need the dongle
>>340294201
>>340290890
seriously, no one wants to talk about this god tier?
Been using a Deathadder for the last 4 or so years it's the only thing made by Razer I would ever suggest using.
The Steel Series Rival 300 is also highly recommended. I've heard good things about the Sensei Raw but can't really comment on it.
Zowie are very highly recommended but are pretty small which is a complaint a lot of people had. Heard that the new FK1 is larger but don't know if it solves people's problems.
Don't know what is going on with Logitech anymore since they stopped making the G400.
Mionix Castor is meant to be good as well.
Sensor used by the mouse is pretty important as long as they don't have acceleration or angle snapping it should be fine.
High DPI is a meme that you shouldn't listen to but being able to swap DPI can be handy as sensitivity settings in some games are absolute trash.
>>340299905
Microsoft stopped making them.
>>340299875
It should pair up. Why not just try?
>>340282485
Using g502. It's pretty comfortable and I like it a lot. A major pain in the butt to clean it though, in fact I haven't cleaned it in a long time.
>>340282485
im using the one in your picture and its great. the middle click is soft which is whats most important to me, it can be used as an actual button. been durable so far and its super cheap.
>>340300075
I only have the wireless version not the Bluetooth. I want to order the Bluetooth version but if it doesn't work either fuck it.
>>340300041
still one of the best mice's out there yet..
I have Steelseries Rival 100
What does /v/ think of that mouse?
>>340300245
Completely fine for what it is.
Has Logitech come up with a proper MX508/G400/G400S successor yet?
Does anyone else find reading mice reviews completely retarded? Usually they just end up complaining about how the mouse doesn't have enough buttons because they need their entire mouse to be a button so they can have more buttons.
Rarely actual reviews go indepth about the performance of the mouse.
Mine finally came from Amazon really happy with it so far.
>>340290890
This is what I have to replace now and nothing else comes close :( Too bad it started double clicking
>>340299875
>>340300185
Amazon's listing of the keyboard lists that it works on Android in the title. I can't post images right now, so I can't show you the sceenshot. It's safe to say it will work fine.
>>340300701
Why does it have a screen on it? Do people look at their mouse whilst playing?

Great for your average CoD games like CS:GO, bad for constant tracking/moving games with high TTK.
>>340300701
It shows stats in overwatch and other dumb stuff like gifs. I like it for having tactile feedback when I'm low on health.
>>340282485
I got a Mamba TE. I used to have a death adder. My death adder was a great mouse, solid contruction, lasted nearly 4 years till the cord started to fray, causing it to cut in and out.
The mamba... not so much, it's still a nice shape but it feels cheaper in the hand despite being nearly twice the price. I had endless trouble with 'liftoff' jitter and shitty tracking until I got a razer brand razer mouse mat. And it still feels weird after nearly 3 months. Fuck this mouse.
It feels like it picks up every grain of dust and jitters the cursor around at all times, despite being at a lower DPI than my old mouse (1600 compared to 1800 on the DAdder).
It's really pretty though.
>>340300908
Yeah... all pics I've found though show it working with android tablets and you can see the dongle sticking out. The only pics of the android phone don't show the USB ports.
Fuck it. I'll order the bastard.
As for the original question, the keyboard works pretty good for gaming. I haven't tried the mouse on it though while gaming. It makes for a nice one hand grip thumb pad for games that use wasd
>>340300937
You can put anything on it, even gifs, so I'm sure some people put dank memes on the screen.
I think you can also map controls to it like sensitivity and stuff so you can change it "on the fly," so basically it's just a reason to upcharge an extra $40 for their $60 mouse.
>>340301262
Any examples of games you've played with it efficiently?
>>340300945
But it's awful for CS.
>>340282650
Me too, FK 1 here
>>340286565
1600 normal use, 400, 2 sen FPS
>>340301490
But what's the actual point? Do people look down at their mouse whilst playing games?
>>340286565
i like 1600 for general use but being able to lower to 400/800 can be useful
>>340282650
Mah nigga
>>340301786
They advertise it as something you can look "cool" owning or as something you can use "in between respawns" to check stats or make adjustments.

I've only had it for a couple weeks now. Like I said I bought it for my gf phone and she didn't buy her new phone until a couple weeks ago.
My mouse started double-clicking a year ago. Is it a hardware issue?
I really want to buy a new one now given that, sometimes it's so hard to double click as well.
>>340300945
Different people, different hands, different tastes.
I hate shooters but I play some mmos, people would recommend me one of those heavy mouses with 200 buttons on the side, but I'm actually pretty satisfied with my g502.
G10. Got it a month ago and like better than my old rat 3.
>>340302248
all shooters? all of them? why my friend, you're alienating yourself from some cool experiences
>>340302205
I have a feeling it would work great for games like TitS or any JRPG for that matter.
>>340302591
I used to like them when I was a teenager. Also the time when I used to love pvp and making a needless competition out of every little thing I did.
Now I'm just not interested in being an edgy teenager, perhaps cuz I'm not one anymore.
>>340302948
>competition = edgy teen
>>340302948
I completely agree with you, but I don't think playing online has anything to do with being edgy. More like it has everything to do with playing what's popular so you can hang out with people, which I dislike doing.
>>340286565
800 is good enough, for 1920x1080 at least. The vast majority of games have independent sensitivity settings so just set your mouse to 800 or buy one that is 800 default and find what you like in-game.
2013 edition.
Not sure what all the razer hate is for, I had a steelseries sensei before this and it was pretty great but this thing is better in every way, it shows no wear whatsoever and i've had it for years
>>340303958
Relatively inexpensive for a "gaming" mouse too
>>340303958
Razer hate is because pretty much everything they make is shit and their entire gaymur marketing shit.
Death Adder is the only good thing they have made.
Logitech Proteus Core, I like it and it has been comfy for me. It's not wireless, but I've grown to like that part.
I use the Amazon Basics keyboard and mouse at work and at home. I can't imagine using anything different.

>>340306550
You know that a lot of people play at 800 DPI right? Just because the number is larger doesn't make it better.
>>340282485
Corsair ain't too bad.
>>340282485
Pic related has the best sensor on the market but its ergonomics is a love/hate issue. The first iterations of these came with a rattling sensor (mine included) though it can be easily fixed with some tape. Works flawlessly since then.
>>340282485
i use a Logitech m100, theres no point in buying expensive shit unless you're the type of nigga that falls for the dpi meme
>>340306714
>having to move your mouse a 20 inchesto get it the cursor where you want it
>moving your mouse literally a half an inch to do the same thing
800 dpi is good for very small and accurate cursor placement, but bad for everything else.
