new mouse

[Mao_Zedong]

I am looking for a new mouse (because i lost my old one, and i may not get it back, so i want to be prepared if i can't). My budget is up to a maximum of $70, but lower is better. I want a wireless mouse because i will use this with my laptop, but I don't mind recommendations for wired mice either. My previous mouse was an anker 8200 dpi mouse, and i loved it, but I want something slightly better. It needs to have three or more buttons on the left side, and one feature I need is pressing a button to switch tabs, not showing all the tabs and then you click on one, just immediately switching; this feature really helps me be productive, so it is important. The mice i am looking at right now are the logitech g502, logitech g602, and corsair m95. Thanks.

I love my g602 because compared to the g502, you can't tell the difference in accuracy at all. Plus its wireless and the batteries last months (still using the original batteries in mine)

[Wano97]

Steelseries Rival.

I love my g502 but if I had to go for something less expensive I would probably go for the Vengeance m65. I don't know how I feel about the m95 because I've never held one but it looks weird.

 

The m95 is $60 on newegg right now so it might be a good buy.

the one thing i like more about the g502 is the button placement on the side, otherwise i would just get the g602

I love my M40.

The problem the that is i don't know if you can change what the "sniper button" does, and the buttons are a little short (vertically).

You can change what it does.

I love my Roccat Savu, however my brother hates it.

You can change what it does.

in that case, i'll consider it (but the m95 does look better in almost every way imo)

I rarely ever use the buttons on the side, so i guess that wasn't a deciding factor for me.

well, I love my mamba. everyone says its over priced, which it probably is. However, solid build quality and is really comfy is worth it for me.

G402, Steelseries rival, razer deathadder, mionix naos (One with the optical sensor)

 

That's more than enough mouse for majority of people

None of those are options for me, i need 3 or more buttons on the side, and those all have two.

G502

Logitech G600 MMO, best mouse you can buy IMO

[athesean1]

is there an option to switch windows by pressing a button? that is one feature i need.

Yes, you can make you own multi key macros in the software. You can even record the delays in the key presses for more extravagant macros.

In that case, I'll get a g502 or 602, i'm still undecided between those since this will be used with a laptop.

macros for alt tab are never really fantastic I must warn. It's due to the nature of windows.

It worked pretty well on my old mouse, and the was a low end mouse ($30) from a pretty small brand, so i doubt it will be much worse if it isn't better.

I could just be dumb about it, I don't use macros. lol.
