So I want a new mouse...

[lukezon]

So I want a new mouse.  I currently have the RAT 7 and love it!  The only reason I am upgrading is because after about two years the sensor is finally starting to die out, and I figure thats a good sign that its time. Price for the new mouse is not an issue for me (as long as it is under 200 but I don't expect anything over).

 

Features I NEED:

-Solid feeling mice / metal frame

-accurate sensor (lots of fps gaming ex. csgo)

-At least 2 thumb buttons

 

Features I want:

-DPI control

-tactile feeling scroll wheel

-Wireless (maybe?)

-Adjustable weight

 

 

Mice I have looked at and am considering:

-RAT 9 (not sure what the latency is like tho)

-unreleased RAT PROX (seems plasticy and would have to wait a while)

-Logitech G502 (too plastic feeling)

 

 

Anyone have ideas on what I should look into?

I used a  RAT 9 for years, the laser died on me eventually, all sorts of tracking issues. But it worked wonderfully during its life. I recently just went to the Deathadder Chroma and I must say I quite like it. The software features DPI adjustment options as well. 

But anyway there's my input on the RAT 9 and a poke at what I'm using now!

Corsair M65.

 

I've had it for nearly 3 months now, absolutely love it, and it meets pretty much every specification that you want. (Forward/Backward buttons + "Sniper" button, all can be reassigned in corsairs mouse configuration software, and you can save that configuration to the mouse so you can go from pc to pc and have the same settings)

Ive tried out the M65 before and I find it a little too small for my hand.  Do you know of a slightly larger type mouse?

Thanks for the input.  Did you ever notice input lag with the RAT 9?  Also, how was the battery life?

Well, other than the m65 id recommend the g502 as that was my other option for a mouse, though the m65 was cheaper. (refurbished)

Razer DeathAdder? Solid, accurate, dual thumb buttons, DPI control, tactile scroll wheel.

Nope. None I can say I saw. The two batteries it came with lost their juice over time (years), at the beginning I was swapping batteries every few days if I was gaming all the time, towards the end though it was just about every day. But that's Lithium-Ion batteries.

I really dont like the shape of the deathadder

 

 

 

 

Anyone like the Gigabyte Aivia Uranium?

Finding a decent mouse that not too much plastic seem like a challenge, i dont know why more dont make them out of Al or someyhing when we pay 60+ for a mouse.

Show me a good mouse with a full metal body.

Exactly.

They feel solid, have amazing sensors, are fully rubberized, and are comfy.

G502?
