Mouse Recommendations?

[ch3w2oy]

EDIT: Please check here for my final decision.

 

I want a good one with programmable buttons. My current one is the Logitech G602, but I think it's dying. Do they go bad? The wirelessness of it feels it's just going bad. I thought my computer was freezing during game play but I'm pretty sure it's my mouse locking up. 

 

I prefer wireless, but if you think corded will last longer or has an advantage, please enlighten me. One with a few extra buttons. Hopefully some rgb but not necessary. The G602 allowed me to adjust the dpi, is that important or is using windows mouse adjuster thing just fine? 

 

I don't think I want to go over $100 usd.

 

I'm looking at these (just what I saw on pcpartpicker):

Idn is Razer an option? Maby look at the Lancehead?

 

[vSaft_Hype]

The razer Deathadder elite, razer basilisk or the razer naga trinity the naga has up to 12 also has 7 and 2, the basilisk has 3 deathadder elite feels best because of the groove in the mouse buttons but those are my top 3 favorites for under 100 USD

Absolutely. I'm just on my phone right now and didn't feel like looking through Amazon, but I'll check that out now. I have read great things about Razer

eh its kinda a fanboy thing. Either you love Razer or you hate it. Kinda a beef in the Gaming Comunity.

id stay off Razer as the sensor they use(or at least used back in 2015, havent really tested anything newer than that) has enormous wander, its a POS. Also Razer crap is pretty expensive for what you get

 

My recomendation goes to my main mouse, the G502. Great sensor and all the buttons i want and need at a good price.

I just got the razer basilisk and you can change the dps and chroma the sensors work great

[Cigano]

Zowie EC1-A is by far the bast mouse i've ever owned. I had two razer deathadders from different years, and a logitech g502 the zowie blew them out of the water for me.

you can change the dps on literally any respectable mouse, even the cheapo ones from china for $20 anyway. as for the sensor, if you spin it in some nice and round circles, how much does it not do that on the screen? because last time i checked that it was really freaking bad

That one seems to fit the bill perfectly, I love the way it looks too. The g900 chaos I listed is just a couple bucks more and can be wired or wireless, I think it's gong to come down to these two.

id probably get the G900, i wanted it but it was way too expensive and then i got my G502 on a nice sale. either one is a good pick

Is $89 a good deal? I'm not sure what they usually go for as Amazon is the only one listed on pcpartpicker.com.. It says it's on sale, but those have been wrong before..

+Great sensor
-Expensive

3.Roccat nyth
+Modular 12 side button (each button are removable)
-BIG

-User laser sensor

 

4.Roccat Leadr
+Lots of button

+Great sensor
+Wireless
+RGB Goodness
-The battery life aren't the best 2-3 days with the lightning on
-Expensive

5.Scimitar Pro RGB

+Lots of button
+Side button can be moved by sliding it

+Great sensor
+RGB

-Big (not a big issue if you have a large hand)
-Kinda expensive

 

Or you can go to my guide and straight to the mice recommendation section

i have tried several Razer mice, most were around 2015 or so and they all had horible wander and felt cheaply built. Deathadder and Mamba were two i tried out iirc. like i said, if they have updated their sensor since then, great, but they were garbage last time i tried one because of the wander

Wow. All of those look awesome! Now those are some mouses. The steelseries looked cool until I looked at the Roccat Leadr, lol. The Roccat Tyon is the same thing, right? Just wired instead of wireless? That one looks really cool and is within budget. I really like the Leadr, though! Can you program the "thumb toggle" thing for instance 'forward/backward'?

2015 Deathadder uses S3989 which is a razer custom avago sensor..its considered as a great sensor and most player said its more responsive than the 3360.

But it has issues with TRACKING INITIATION SPEED (How fast the sensor can track after it return to the pad).

That issues lead the sensor spinning out if you do Tilt Slam meaning slamming your mouse sideways on the pad and its not a big issue..in fact its very rare for someone to use tilt slam because it can cause damage to the mouse itself.

But if you didnt do that, it won't spin out..no matter how fast you can move your mouse while gaming.

 

As for the mamba, well it use laser sensor so i don't blame you..

 

Deathadder has issues but only on the 1-3generation.

 

Deathadder is one of the most successful gaming mice ever made..but the 1-2 generation had sensor issues while 3rd generation has QC issues..the 2015-present model are fine.

no its not the same, the tyon use laser sensor dont buy it..

i think so, Its programmable so..but if you want to be sure, you could contact roccat.

good to know, could very well have been an earlier gen i tried out, no clue, just remember it having wander and feeling cheap.

Steelseries Rival 600 or Roccat Kone AIMO? Both are the same price.. What about the Logitech G502?

 

I'd like the Leadr, but but G900 Chaos is 89 on Amazon and looks really good for way less..Not sure if I want wireless..

 

And what do you think about Horde AIMO keyboard?

That's a decent mouse. I've been using the Razar Naga II for a while, I haven't had an issue with it over the last couple years.

well that's kinda the idea lmao. so many companies make these really cool looking mice that just feel awful to use because of their shape. I definitely don't like the zowies looks better than other mice, it's the sensor and general feel of the mouse that is far superior to anything else I've used which is why I use it even though it's uglier. I had the G502 and while it definitely looks cooler I perform much worse with it in first person shooters because of it's weight and shape.

Here's what..sit down..and comtemplate.

Think about what you really want.

Do you want lots of button for macros? flashly RGB? what about the hand size? mouse shape and weight? do you prefer comfort over aesthetic or vice versa?

Most gaming mice at least from a reputable companies are using an overkill sensor (unless its laser which is bad for fast paced games) So don't bother with the sensor and prioritize more on what you really want.

Its a semi mechanical keyboard.

Zowie make a simple mice that works but with great sensor for gamer..no flashy RGB no gimmicky features no lamborghini gaming aesthetic..but their mouse is expensive soo hmm...

So I ordered the G502. They honestly all look small. I liked the Tyron and the steelseries rival 500 but they just seemed small. I can't really tell online. Made sure to order through Amazon in case I need to return it..

Looks like a shitty topre imitation. It's basically a keycap with plunger over dome and membrane, but it does have some advantages over normal dome + membrane boards, like it being able to register 1/2 way through the key travel like topre. But, it uses a integrated plunger on the cap which will make it mushy to bottom out on compared to dome and slider keyboards, and it has very bad laser etched painted caps. The build of the keyboard is also questionable and the the keyboard overall just looks like an abomination imo. For ~100$ you could get an actual mechanical board, making that keyboard a terrible value.
