I need a new mouse

by **PFunk** » Tue Aug 02, 2016 11:31 am

Well, I decided to get a mechanical keyboard rather than continue using my jello keyboard.

I need a mouse that will hold up to me starting D1 with it and then ignoring it for the rest of the match. If you know a quality mouse that doesn't mind getting ignored since I don't fly with a mouse, send over your suggestions. However, it has to perform well in Minesweeper and Minecraft.

Actually, I'd like to try and find a mouse that works well for D1 as well.(my current mouse just doesn't have the DPI) Budget is < $75ish. No 24K gold mice for me!

logitech g502 is worth a look. $75 on amazon, refurbs for 50 sometimes if you can wait.

reasonable price, shit loads of buttons if you want to put your thumb to work instead of relying on your uncoordinated overstressed left hand, crazily customizable software, etc

Mechanical keyboards are awesome.

I'm a pretty big fan of Roccat's gaming mice as being solid performers in the sensor and budget areas. They don't have a ton of buttons, but then -- I don't want a ton of buttons. I use the Lua myself in D1. It's usually around $30.

Thanks for the input melvin and Drakona.

Drakona, that mouse might work for your dainty hands, but I have meat claws! From tip of middle finger to base of palm is 8.5" and across palm and thumb is 4.5". MEAT CLAWS!!!! From pinky to thumb extended is 10"... MEATY CLAWS!!!!!

A coworker has the g502 and hates it. He brought it in and I used it and didn't like having that many buttons w/accidental clicks.

I'm looking at the Razer DeathAdder Chroma, Zowie EC1-A or Zowie FK-1+ and the SS Rival 300. Something big enough for my hands.

I wouldn't get a razer. Back in the day I used to have a razer copperhead (for cs 1.6) and I absolutely loved it. I bought a razer mamba and razer mamba TE recently - both times the laser would get stuck and only slide up and down the y-axis. Razer lacks the quality they touted 8 years ago - for mice. They are pretty gimmicky with the RGB thing now also. Although I am using their mechanical keyboard and I have no complaints there.

Thanks Cyrus,
I'm leaning toward the Zowie EC1-A or the SS Rival 300. Rival is the largest of the ones I'm looking at.

I mean, if you're just launching games with it, I recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 67038S8423
(Free shipping!)

...but if you actually want to play with it... well, you could probably make it work I guess.
