Best Gaming Mouse

[Zorazk]

I have been on an endless search looking for mice. Does anyone have suggestions for the best gaming mouse. It has to be optical sensor,red or changeable leds and palm grip.

razor death adder and RAT 7 there good mice

the RAT 7 is awful it gunks up and glitches (this is from personal experience) as soon as I can i'm switching to a G400/G500S.

it doesnt gunk up for me(might be because i dont have the rubbery version) but it sure as hell glitches out, the rat 7, such a shame, would be one of the best if madcatz got their shit together and updated it, it might have been good for 2008 but 6 year son it needs to be updated

[Zorazk]

Is there a difference in performance between the deathadder and the black edition?

The feet gunk up after a lot of use (over a year) I had to buy some new feet.

*looks at feet*. ok thats true

I have a mionix naos 7000 and I have been loving it so far

[VegetarianBoy]

I have a Gigabyte M6900 V2 for like a year now, it's still in perfect condition and never bugs out or glitches out in any way, even without the drivers installed.

[elecxonica]

G700S IMO (do note that i don't own one though. I did own a Performance MX however)

[Commander_Z]

G500s

[nsyedhasan]

Wrong sub-forum.

 

I would recommend get something like a G502, G602, Func MS3 R2, Mionix NAOS8200, and a G600s for a MMO mouse.

[Silent_Xaxal]

Do you want more buttons?

[Toby]

The G502 and Deathadder do not have red/changeable LEDs. The G500s and G700s do not have red/changeable LEDs or an optical sensor and while the Gigabyte M6900 V2 qualifies, I can't ascertain whether the V2 has a good optical sensor (which is the whole reason to get optical over laser).

 

I'm pretty sure the Naos 7000 is the only mouse recommended so far that fits all 3 requirements. The Avior 7000 would too. They're probably your two best bets.

 

The Roccat Kone Pure Optical, Corsair M45 and CM Storm Recon also tick all the boxes, but they might be a little too short if you have larger hands. They're worth a look, though.

 

Edit: The Steelseries Rival is a perfect match too and I'm going to throw the Zowie AM up a possibility, though it's red-accented rather than red-lit.

Your specifications are just too restrictive. The is no reason to limit yourself to only an optical sensor. Your need for red or changeable LEDs will severely limit your available options, same thing goes with the mouse having to be designed for a palm grip. You'd be hard pressed to find a single mouse that fits all 3 of those criteria. As far as the recommending a gaming mouse, I have to recommend the Logitech G502. It has the best sensor in the industry and is large enough to accommodate a palm grip. The LED is blue but it can be turned off.

Explain?

Did you read the thread?

There is absolutely no legit reason to insist on using only an optical mouse. A quality sensor is what is important, and you can get that quality for both optical and lazer sensors. Also, technically speaking, if you have two sensors of equal quality and DPI capability, lazer is a better option as it works on more surfaces. Again, there is no reason at all to refuse to use a lazer mouse. 

Yes, I read the thread, and it still does not change anything I said. Such restrictive criteria pointlessly limit the number of options to choose from, and with a mouse being such a critical piece of hardware that no one should cut themselves off at the knees for said pointless reasons.

G700s.

While there might be both quality optical and laser sensors, the laser sensors being put into mice (or at least their implementation) leaves something to be desired. One day there might be laser mice on par with the best optical ones, but for now they're demonstrably inferior and so it's a distinction that's worthy of and deservedly being made.

 

You said he'd be hard pressed to find a single mouse that fit all 3 of his criteria...There are at least six mice that fit all 3 of his criteria, which does rather change what you said.
