View Full Version : New Gamer Mouse....any recommendations?
Hello all,
At the moment, im using a standard microsoft 2 button/wheel optical mouse.
One of my "enemies" (Keiron from SSC - who's a cool guy to be fair :)) recommended:
Microsoft Intelenet Gamer (5 buttons - Optical)
Ive looked into it, seems hard to get hold of where i live,
Im wondering what mouses people use in game, and does anyone have another recommendation ?
Thanks in advance

I'm using a logitech MX500.
Before that used a €5 lidl optical mouse.
Any optical mouse with3 or more buttons should do the trick.
Basically m8, I would recommand getting the smallest laser mouse(optical) as you can that fits nicely into your palm. Makes your aiming sweet as iight den.

Whatever you get... don't get wireless. Wireless is like a cup of acid being poured into your ear.

mines wireless, damn handy, means i dont get a cable caught on the ammount of shit down the back of my desk O_o only problem is that my mouse eats energizers like a 5 year old eats penny sweets O_o
prefer the classic ball rather than optic
it behaves itself.
Logitech MX500 or MX700
Best mouse of all time = Logitec iFeel Mouseman and this is what I used though my years playing T2
Currently own a Microshit Intellimouse explorer V3 and it feels cheap (had to get a mouse quick and this was the best of a bad bunch)

Is that a Microsoft or Logitec mouse?
This (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00005TQ08/qid=/sr=1-3/ref=pd_sbs_e_1/104-0683698-2511107?v=glance&s=electronics) is kinda close to my mouse, but not exactly it. It seems my fav kinda mouse is discontinued ;/.
It looks like this

I used to use a Logitech Trackman Marble+ until I started playing Proball for Q3. (Batteries dying also helped - used rechargeables so it didnt really matter)
Currently use a simple logitech corded 3 button w/scroll mouse.

Go get yourself Logitech MX500, 8 buttons + wheel ^^
www.logitech.com
Wireless suck, I heard, they eat batteries and have little lag.

Thats why the MX700 is so good. IIRC it has virtualy no lag and has its own charging station.
I have never been into the whole cordless thing. There are fekkin loads of wires comming out the back of my computer and 1 more won't make a diffferance :D
The mouse i use atm sticks all the time, id be so, so much better with a mouse i could actually move properly with :)
They all look good, so i suppose ill just pick one from the list above.
Anyways, im off to get it 2moro, so ill post what i got
The combination I use, Naturally I think its the best is a 5 button optical mouse (Actually thinking about I don't think I use 2 of the buttons) and a Sidewinder Game Voice.
The thing with buttons is that you only have 5 fingers but if you use a Gave Voice you can set up commands. As a melee tank I find this very useful as I just have to say "Slot 2" or "Slot 3" etc to use the stamina boosters in my quickbelt, if I didn't have the GV then I would have to stop running to free up a finger to use the QB items.
It works a treat!

I use a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer V.3, and it does me just fine, its quick and responsive and has all the buttons in the right places :D
Still, if i were to buy a new mouse, it would definatly be the MX500. Ive seen it in action and it kicks ass. Looks nice too :)
I used a Logitech ifeel mouseman with force feedback :p
best god damn mouse I have ever used.. shame the left mouse button broke :(
I use the mouse pictured by Keiron. People tell me they like small ones that fit into their hands, but i got big hands and like something bulky like this to aim with.
People also told me that ur choice of mouse mat is important. After experimenting i found they are very right, and now use a piece of polished glass mounted on blue-tac. Super smooth :D
Mouse Mat (http://www.act-labs.com/scripts/proddetails.asp?pid=71), thats the kind I use (you can even see the address is the pic above). I find it helps some, but its not a huge difference.

I've been using a trackball since Quake 1. I've tried plenty of other mouses and nothing is good as this:
http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/130.gif
Logitech Trackman Wheel
Wireless I wouldn't go anything but mx500/mx700. The refresh rate on wireless isn't as good as most wired mice, the mx500/mx700 has a better rate however, only difference between the two I think is a rechargeable base.

heh well I don't think that's the reason you got my dog tag, just ask around, people know how capable I am. Don't ask me why I just like using them over normal mouse systems. I find them more precise and reactive to my playing.
I dunno what model it is...i think logitech discontinued it...but noone i know uses it.
It's a dual sensor optical mouse (w/cord, thank you very much wireless shite using people :p) and it runs like a dream. Even when it gets clogged, it never runs out on me, and i replaced the treads on the bottom with teflon strips for smoother rolling. ^_^ It's a beaut. :D
I collect mice, give me asking prices please and ill buy your mices.
paying anywhere from 15-100 dollars depending on sexyness
...btw fenix, your mouse sounds especially sexy.
Ps...did i mention it sounds sexy? :D
Keiron, you have an Alienware, don't you?
Microsoft IntelliMouse 3.0
Func Industries Mouse pad
standard alienware stuff. :) That's what I use, btw.
I heard somewhere that USB stuff slows down your computer, something to do with USB running off of cpu time or something.. I really dont know much about computers. If I don't have any PS/2 ports (i'm using a laptop), so is there anything I can do about it?

Dunno what I have but it says Compaq on it, it's a ballmouse with three buttons and wheel.. Hehe OWNAGE!
(To be included on that is the Z: Steel Warriors and EQ Soft Mousepad to get the real "hobo-feel")
Logitech MX500 here, too.:D
Here is a pic:

I also use the Logitech Elite Keyboard.
I've thought about getting the Cordless MX Duo, but only so my kittens can't keep pulling my mouse and keyboard off my desk.:p

OMG OMG!
someone uses the same mouse as me, i thought i was hallucinating!!!!!
that brings the grand total of people who use it to 3 (rl friend uses one).
I love that mouse. I took those little treads off, but it still runs like a dream.
It's known that wirless mouses have some "lag" and not a good enough refresh rate, but not this. I think it's been stated that if you get a wireless mouse, it better either be a Logitech MX500 or MX700 or else you will experience some lag in gaming.

Yes thats a window fan you see, its what I call my "air-cooling system".
i use this (http://www.computerhq.com/hardware/partinfo-id-57235.html)
been using it for a long time and NEVER had a problem with it. So i recomend it. It also costs like 20$. Besides i dont get why people want so many buttons on your mouse. I mean my left hand can punch more then enough buttons. BTW Keiron i got the exact same speakers as u do.

Microsoft Intellimouse Mouse 2.0? Its optical with 5 buttons (but the extra buttons act like mouse 3 in all my games) It came with my alienware system, so I have not bothered to change it up, and it has been good for me.
