Programmable mouse buttons is a genuinely useful feature. As is having an accurate sensor.
>>342428475
It's a shame you still have to import it.
"""gaming""" mice
FUCK YOU IT'S JUST A MICE STOP PUTTING THE WORD GAMING IN THERE LIKE IT MEANS ANYTHING
I have the deathadder 2013
I like it
originally had a deathadder black but the scroll wheel got fucked so razer sent me a 2013
technically it's an upgrade but I liked the black, had a nice grippy rubber texture and wasn't flashy
What's a good replacement for pic related? It just feels really cheap.
>>342428903
Mechanicalkeyboards has them with a xl mousepad thrown in. They vary on amazon, stupid money now but they get down to the 60's occasionally.
Ventus X is top tier
>>342429340
oh shit, now if I only had $70 bucks to spend.
Although my main interest is in the ROG Gladius, with it's hot-swap switches. Never heard anything about it though, and ASUS sells it for $45 on their site.
Intellimouse > Zowie > Pile of Shit > Trackballs > GAYMUR SHIT
>>342427886
I use this one, it's pretty good. Better than the decepticon mice with 19 buttons.
The cord has a habit of getting these kinks that get tight as fuck if you don't notice them
>>342429072
But it does mean things.
Gaming indicates that you get the most elite hardcore top quality premiumprice tag.
>>342429884
>The cord has a habit of getting these kinks that get tight as fuck if you don't notice them
you're doing something wrong, none of my deathadders do that.
>>342427886
Top tier:
Logitech G400S and similar newer laser mice
(Supposedly) Razer Deathadder 2013 or later
Zowie whatever
Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0
Mid tier:
whatever else that's laser and doesn't have acceleration
shit tier:
anything wireless
That's about it.
>>342427886
If you ignore "lel gamer robot mouse lel", Logitech G502 is actually great.
I've got the rival 100
6 button, adjustable dpi, and customizable led for 40 bucks
It's pretty nice
>>342427886
just bought g502
i would say buy g502. don't buy zowie, i had THREE of them fail, they are fucking garbage. I had two steelseries fail also. The only way a logitech mouse has ever failed on me is just becoming double clicky, which you can fix.
>>342429241
it looks like that's a small mouse. if so, g302/303 is a fucking amazing mouse, it just made my hand cramp around a while. it's a claw/fingertip type mouse. perfect sensor etc
they're actually on sale for like $25 right now at best buy which is fucking ridiculous, sensei raw is also, and rival 300, a few more things.
>>342430854
>becoming double clicky, which you can fix.
how?
I use a wireless mouse and it works fine.
>>342430716
bought this to replace my old mx518. It's good, but feels a little heavy for me even without the weights.
I heard they discontinued the G502
>>342431184
open it up and bend the metal prongs back where the click switch is. also, you can order better quality click switches and solder them in, its not as hard as it sounds
at this point, i just buy my mice at best buy and buy the 9.99 2 year protection plan. almost every single fucking mouse gets some kind of flaw within 2 years. that way you just take it back and get a brand new one if anything happens.
Got this as a gift like 4 years ago. It's been mostly fine but recently the scroll wheel has started to crap out on my and looking to replace it. Something in the $50~ range, with buttons on side, any suggestions?
>>342431475
AND I FORGOT THE PIC FUCK
I'll prob stick with Mionix for the foreseeable future.
Man I haven't seen a mouse tier list in fucking ages
Zowie FK master race
>>342431451
>solder them in, its not as hard as it sounds
I've been trying to do this on one of my deathadders. It's a pain because i'm having trouble getting the switch "flush" down on the PCB. I also don't have any desoldering braid handy. Know anything I could use in a pinch?
>>342431731
good, since they were created by zowie and shilled here actively, one of the most active shills of all time, and people failed to call them on it
>nobody on earth has a fucking zowie mouse except some CS pros that are paid to have them
>suddenly zowie mice on top of every mouse tier image
>buy $70, 80 dollar zowie mice
>they do shit like have the fucking scroll wheel just break off and fall into the mouse
shitty small company who shilled here and fooled /v/.
just buy logitech, their shit at least breaks the least. that's all you can say about mice, there aren't any that don't break.
Best ergonomics.
I need a new mouse and I'm probably just going to get another one.
>>342430578
Not really true if you are willing to buy the G900, but you aren't gonna spend $150 at it.
>>342431854
it probably doesnt have to be as perfect as you think it does :P
i use a metal probe in my left hand for stuff like this
>>342432086
best buy has the new g602 wireless mouse on sale for like $60 right now. they also have g700s the old nice wireless mouse for 50
>>342427886
>ITT: people trying to post a better mouse than this
>>342432049
Find a xornet 1 before they completely run out of stock.
If you want a cheap, but good gaming mouse, I'd suggest the Etekcity 6e. It's what I'm currently using. It's my first "gaming mouse" after years of just using whatever my computer came with. It feels nice with the grip, it looks nice with the light and has a higher DPI than I'll probably ever need.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GcDqZFX9nac
>>342432301
they basically got away with getting as close to the g502 design as they could
good idea, really, it's a great mouse
>>342432106
No, when I'd reassemble the mouse, the left click didn't have any play whatsoever. The switch appears identical but it came from an old trackball, I doubt that matters.
>>342432220
plenty.
I'm so used to my intellimouse 3.0 but would love an extra button or two.
Does anyone have a suggestion on something similar in size and hand feel to the intellimouse? I'm too impatient to get used to something drastically different.
I bought this off Amazon last week, just had it for a couple days now. As my first gaymen mouse, I could have done a lot worse, and if it doesn't live up to the reviews I'm not going to be broken up about it. For 13 dollars you could do a lot worse, and the reviews I've found offer almost universal praise.Whatever anon posted this thing in one of the other mice threads, I owe you my thanks.
>>342430734
I paid 40 bucks for my rival 300 and I still feel like I paid too much.
My thumb is melting a hole in my side grip and the cord is made out of the same material and is starting to peel away layers.
The switches are also super stiff and the sensor feels floaty.
>>342431475
just replaced my 3 year old death adder with pic related. almost convinced myself out of it by reading every single amazon/newegg review, but its a fucking dream.
software seems less bloated/quicker than the edgy, 2001 flavored UI of the razer utility.
doesn't realistically matter when all of the mouse manufacturers have legitimately garbage software
>>342432615
Steelseries rival is the best option so far.
Not sure about the direction of their rival 700 series, but the one you posted is the best mouse I've ever used.
MOVE OVER RICERFAGS THE MASTERRACE IS COMING TROUGHT
>>342432431
I am a fan of simple design but none of these mouse are.
>1000 buttons
>"ergonomic design"
>>342432401
>The switch appears identical but it came from an old trackball, I doubt that matters.
hahah of course it matters dude
I wish there were a mouse with both a perfect sensor and one of those 12-button thumbpads like all those ones promoted for MMOs. I picked up one super cheap and found that having so many functions ready made it great for action games and shooters (as opposed to having them all clustered around WASD), but its sensor was godawful and jittery as fuck when moving diagonally.
Currently using a CM Storm Recon. While it has a very good sensor, it has a stupid glitch where the cursor randomly jumps a great distance. It's not even tracking, the mouse can be completely motionless or upside down and it will happen anyway on its own. A very common issue among its owners.
>>342432301
I got this for $15.
I wasn't interested in DPI but I liked having a mouse with M4 and M5 buttons.
Really happy with it, tried looking for it again to recommend a friend but Amazon doesn't have them anymore. Or at least at that price.
>>342432930
None? G900 is plain simple.
>>342432587
>bought one yesterday
>felt them rubber side grips
>cord is made out of potato starch? apparently
noped the fuck out and bought a g502 for 40 dollars more, dont regret it one bit. far superior mouse in every way.
>>342431617
People who buy Mionix have good tastes in aesthetics.
>>342432942
please to explain i am not smart like you
>>342432587
You must have a pretty serious grip, dude.
I honestly prefer office mice
Logitechs ones are so comfortable

I've got an mx master for work and it's the best
unfortunately you can't hold down the m3/4 buttons like on gaming mice so push to talk is awkward
G303 is top tier once you get past the odd shape and heavy cord. Incredible sensor and reasonably priced.pretty LEDs with lots of customization too if you're into that
Razer Ouroburos. You fags can Google it. I'm not downloading a picture so I can post it here.
It looked cool. I had an extra $120 around. It's an OK mouse. I broke my reciever kinda, like a stupid faggot by knocking it off the desk and stepping on it accidentally. It still transmits, just doesn't hold the mouse properly.
It has a nice feel to it if you leave the left wing on, and put the alternate siding on the left. Has a kinda premium feel to it... Kinda.
7.8/10. Not worth 120$ when I bought it. But it's not a bad mouse.

>>342433406
Why the fuck should anyone choose the cancerous Ouroburos when G900 is both ambidextrous, far lighter, way more reliable and having that LED gimmicky shit which Ouroburos doesn't have?
Buying a mamba would also be a better idea.
>>342433519
>you can plug it in, and it works just like a wired one
Wow. Go figure.
>>342433185
I mostly rely on fingertip grip, so that's probably why I wore it down so much, since it's clearly a palm mouse.
Regardless, my $30 Xornet also has rubber side grips and they haven't melted whatsoever after two years of use.
What kind of shit rubber is Steelseries using and how are they justifying an $80 price tag on the 300?
>>342433602
Because it looked fucking cool, and I'm not a huge nerd who has to have the absolute best mouse for little to no increase in performance.
And you know what? Next time I buy a mouse, I'm gonna buy the most batmobile looking mouse I can find.
Does the more it look like a standard Gateway mouse from 1995 come into direct contact with the fucking Allspark mean it's superior?
what's the difference between the deathadder and the deathadder chroma aside from the lighting?

I love when spergs get mad about other people's purchases, i laff every time
>>342433775
That this is antiquated for one. Unless you must have Razer and you are a fucking lefty, you shouldn't bother with it. The stuttering on the Ouroboros can only be described as pig disgusting.
>>342434158
It only stutters when I change the acceleration, which I basically never do.

Im interested in this, can you play fps online with it?

>>342433775
Before you say that I am shitting on Razer, I own a Naga Epic Chroma and Mamba Chroma. Both of these are far better than Ouroboros. Even the older Naga Epic (I have this as well) beats it out. Ouroboro is about as crappy as the Cyborg RAT M Bluetooth mouse when it comes to the stuttering.
>>342434369
Yes are you retarded.
Are you a sped?
>>342434369
I wouldn't.
>>342427886
Buy anything that isn't razor. Literally the worst trash on the market. Everything about them is shit, mechanics of the mouse, the software, and the drivers. Please don't give them your money. I didn't believe people who posted about them being bad until i owned one myself.
>>342429072
>A MICE
>>342434491
the green deathadder is fine. it's higher build quality than the others and has a nicer sensor.
Which gaming mouse looks the most like a spaceship you'd find in a starfighter game?
I've been using a 2012 version of the Deathadder and it's been perfect, still not showing signs of wear.
People are going to hate on this hard, but I love MMO's and this mouse is basically fucking perfect. I like the shape (for me it's super comfy) and it feels really solid.
The best part is that not only does it have 12 programmable buttons on the side, but the third mouse button is the "G-switch" which changes your mouse macros when held down. You can basically put all of your macros on the mouse, it's fucking rad.
G502 >>>>>>> everything else
>>342434650
I'd have to give it to this mouse as well.
G303 is pretty gud, got it really cheap on sale
no mouse on the market is worth their full retail value though, so shop around
>>342434454
Congratulations. Perhaps you missed the part where I mentioned that I bought it based on looks, and didn't care about "performance" because a mouse is a mouse, and "gaming mice" is a big meme in the first place. Buying a "Gaming" mouse will not help you play better, aside from the extra buttons, which is why I bought based on looks.
Also, I've yet to experience any stuttering other than when I change the speed of it mid game.
>>342427886
>>342431560
>>342432220
Enjoy your under one year reliability.
If you're buying Razer literally just buy Mt. Dew and Doritos while you're at it.
>>342434728
G600 loses out against the newer Naga in the tactile sense, but I do enjoy the contouring of the buttons on the G600.
>>342432431
the form factor on these makes my hands hurt just looking at them
>>342435007
so if mine has lasted 3 years and is still working great, is that good?
>>342435007
have mine from 3 years ago and still going solid, all about luck
>>342435275
overpriced but they're nice
>>342435056
I bought the first round of Naga, and while I really hope quality has gone up, it didn't even last 2 years before left clicks either didn't register, or double clicked. The cursor also started moving on its own like half the time.
It became completely unusable and frustrated the hell out of me.
are there any mice i should avoid due to sweaty palms?
roccat nyth master race
>>342435458
I haven't had this issue with the 1 year old Naga Chroma. The older Naga wireless had the issue of signal interference, not mechanical problems.
I don't dislike the options we have today, but let's be honest, has anything ever even come close to this bad boy?
I'm still sad I never got one, one of my friends has had one for like eight years or some shit.
>>342435576
I wonder if there will ever be a wireless version of the Nyth.
>>342435707
Honestly? The G502. It's the new MX518.
>>342435707
I'm so fuckin' mad m8.
I had a wireless g7, I was taking it apart to clean it because I hadn't used it forever, and there was this gunk on it, no idea what it was...anyway, i as trying to pull a plug out and the socket came off the PCB.
Fuckin' bullshit mang, but at least I can harvest the switches.
>>342435707
There is no successor to that shape. I still remember when the shape first got introduced with the MX500. I bought into the wireless meme and got the MX700 at the time.
>>342434735
thoughts on G900?
>>342432615
that mouse is fucking shit the cable is way to heavy and the mouse is way to lightweight
>>342435384
$60 for a mouse isn't really overpriced
>>342435707
i used an mx518 for years. went to a g400, then recently got an ec1-a
>>342431475
idk if you are still there anon but literally just blow into the fucking thing and the mouse click works
Needing a better mouse means you play the following game(s):
Overwatch
CSGO
Dota 2
League of Legends
Starcraft
Which means you need to die immediately

>>342437006
>paying more than $5 for a rubber dome keyboard
>>342436129
It is actually about as close to the G5/MX500 as one can get shape wise from Logitech. The price though is clearly damn high.
This mouse is the last word for ambidextrous mouse right now. It is the best wireless mouse Logitech has ever made to me (I owned MX 700, MX Revo, VX Revo and G700.)
I like it better than G502 and G700. I use the G900 wirelessly nearly all the time instead of plugging the cord in mostly as with G700 or Naga Epic.
>>342437006
I see shit like this at the swap shop. Tons of chinese rice keyboard/mouse combo with a L337 gamer look to it.
>>342437272
the only downside would be the price then. Here's hoping price drops in one or two years.
>>342432615
That's what I have right now. The shape and buttons are perfect for my hand.
I'm fucking sick of mice. I can't fucking take this. Razer is absolute shit 6 ways from Sunday, Steelseries had scroll wheel fuckups on 4/4 mice, and I just got a Zowie and the thing is built solid as fuck but it hurts my hands cause it's too heavy.
Now I'm using an $8 staples mouse. Guess what? It can track on my wood desk and the Zowie can't. What the fuck is wrong with these manufacturers?
>>342437846
Yeah. $100 is the more reasonable point to buy the mouse. I would hesitate at the asking price of $150.
>>342438161
>He hasn't try logitech yet.
Use mine for so long I just want it to broke so I can upgrade.
Razer is pretty decent, i underestimated their quality. I thought my 2013 DA would break at like 1 year in, but still works to this day. I'm probably going to upgrade to a chroma if it ever break down.
>>342432615
Is the rival really that good? I'm using a sensei RAW currently and i've had it for a couple years. the surface gloss/coat is wearing all across, the mousewheel occasionally jams itself overnight and being an ambidextrous mouse it's really quite unergonomic.
I've also got a steelseries siberia v2 which is getting pretty faulty, though that might because i've rolled over the cable so many times on wheels.
I'd need some convincing to buy another steelseries product. how good can the rival really be?
>>342437218
I'd pay $40 for a NIB MS Natural Elite, PS/2 edition.
I'd pay even more for a cherry red version, but that's beside the point.
>>342435007
my naga bailed out after a year but deathadder is going strong for 2+ years. that thing is solid.
>>342432220
>>342427886
I have this one and the middle button has stopped working. Wheel still scrolls, but middle-click doesn't work. About a year old.
Also sometimes you need to drag it a centimeter or two before it registers movement.
I've got a 2013 Deathadder right now since I got it cheaply a while back.
I hate how it looks though. Mice are almost always over-designed and they look horrible, especially with all the gaymer shit. I wish they were more simple and functional, kinda like mechanical keyboards
what's a good way to try out these mice without just buying all of them? I want to buy a new one but I'm autistic about ergonomics
>>342432568
i bought this a few months back on sale. still using it pretty good for what you pay
>>342432615
I'm actually replacing my rival pretty soon. The rubber on the sides goes to shit after a few months of use and the scroll wheel eventually develops problems that effectively render it useless. Other than those two problems, the mouse is decent, but the scroll wheel thing kind of ruins it.
>Get 2013 Deathadder a couple years back
>Mouse wheel click sometimes works and sometimes doesn't after six months
Welp, it's either Zowie or Logitech I guess.
My Logitech G400 just kinda broke today. Scrolling upwards barely works. Apparently you can't buy those anymore, nor the good old MX518 ;_;
steel series
Steelseries Xai.
I bought a sensei raw a year ago, and recently the RMB has been unresponsive, like there's no suspension underneath it. Sometimes it will not click at all.
So I went back to my 2011 Xai which is not compatible with their engine, also clearly degraded from extensive use. There are absolutely no problems with it apart from the mouse feet replacements I did.
I don't know what they did with their newer stuff, but fuck I've never had a mouse fuck up that quickly. It's retarded because the sensei's cord is also half the length of Xai.
Shame because the keyboards are great.
>>342429209
on my second deathadder because first one's wheel click broke and this one's wheel click is starting to break too. WTF RAZOR.
>>342432049
i have the black model that is a tier below this one. Absolutely love it. Should I treat myself to this one? Is there even a difference (other than DPI stuff)
>>342440464
Lucky. One year in and scroll wheel stopped working. Scroll click hasn't worked after 6 months of use
>>342432568
How does it feel and perform compared to more "conventional" expensive stuff like the Deathadder, Steelseries, etc?
>>342432875
Unfortunately you have to overclock the shit out of these things to get a decent DPI and polling rate. And then once that happens I think the sensor starts misbehaving.
I'm sorry but 400 dpi is piss poor. This is coming from someone who uses low sensitivity too. And 125hz polling rate? My fucking monitor is higher than that. These new ssb melee hacks basically have input detection at 120hz too, and those are controllers NOT mice.
The intellimouse was a venerable, even legendary mouse. It's time to retire with dignity
Not one mention of Finalmouse.

Go to bed, Yuki.
>>342439884
I just upgraded from a sensei raw to a rival 300. Was surprised how much better it was in terms of movement quality and the lack of mouse accel. Scroll wheel feels a bit weird but I think I've already got used to it after a week of use.
Left and right mouse buttons are slightly harder to push than the sensei as well
