Mouse With "Sniper button"

[tp95112]

Is there any mouses that have a button that reduces DPI? I remember the Steelseries Sensei has one but thr price is bit high

I was thinking G9x, but that's even more expensive than the Sensei RAW (and so is the MW3 G9x). If you're looking really cheap, and you're in the US or Canada, try Monoprice. It may be low quality, but at least one mouse has DPI adjust, and it's dirt cheap. http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=103&cp_id=10325&cs_id=1032502&pn=computer_accessories

 

EDIT: With the MW3 G9x, you could probably sand or buff off the logo. Some of the print on my normal G9x has worn away with my palm using it. Also, Linus likes the G9x. :D

I think you can pick up the older corsair M60 for about $55 these days.

R.A.T from Cyborg. it has a DPI botton and you can create different profiles that you can change during the game with one button

Is there a mouse that has the same comfort as the Steel Series Ikari?

Another suggestion from me is the G600. They have sniping button(click to change up to 4 customizable dpi levels). The G-shift buttons allows you to have another set of 12 side buttons if you hold them. Just my advice, if you're a heavy multi-tasker that holds a combination of 2 or 3 keystroke, you can bind them on 1 button.

Nearly all the Logitech mice do

I had the MX518 (which was GREAT) and it had them, and so does it's current iteration the G400

G500 has them, and I believe you can configure the G buttons on the G600 and G700 to do it as well

You could probably map an extra button on any other mouse to switch between DPI within Windows, but I don't think it would be built into the mouse firmware

The Razer Mamba 2012 allows multiple profiles to be switched using your choice of button.

The Logitech G502 does EXACTLY what you want, BETTER than the other mice AND it has the best sensor.  As long as you like the shape and the weight (121g).

 

There is a 'sniper button" on the side of the mouse.  This button can be unbound (and does NOT require the drivers to work after you program it!), or you can set the sniper button to other functions like:

 

1) DPI SHIFT (default for this button): holding the button down sets it to the "shifted' DPI (you can set what dpi is the shifted dpi and the default DPI--this requires two dpi steps for that profile, of course.  Releasing the button sets it back to the default DPI.

 

2) DPI CYCLING (this is probably what you want): pressing the mouse button once sets the DPI to the next dpi step, pressing it again sets it to the next one (if available, e.g. if you had 3 steps) or sets it back to the first step ,e.g. step 1, step 2 ,step 1, step 2 (4 button presses).

 

3) DPI UP (or DPI down): this is the default for G7 and G8 buttons already.  DPI Up is useless without another button set to DPI down.

 

4) DPI default: pressing this button sets the dpi back to the default dpi setting for that profile. 

 

You can program any mouse button on there for these functions ,btw,not just the "Sniper" thumb button.  You can't program mouse button 1 and 2 for this, though (you need a script editor for that).

 

The Logitech G303 that was just released does not have a "sniper button" but you can STILL Program one of the other buttons to function as the sniper button (just like you can do on the G502!)

 

Enjoy.
