Best Wired/Wireless mouse

[X1XNobleX1X]

Hello people of the LinusTechTips forum.

I'v been looking for a good mouse for awhile now and cannot seem to find a good one. I'm currently using a 2014 Razer Mamba, which has just stopped working.

I'v been looking at the Saitek Cryborg R.A.T 7/MMO mouse is it any good?

Do you guys have any suggestions if so post them below. 

Thanks again!

G700s is there any reason it needs to be wireless also what will you be using the mouse for as in what type of games do you play ?

what will you be using the mouse for what type of games do you play ? 

Mostly FPS. I will from time to time play a MMO though.

I think the g700s will be perfect then since it has loads of buttons but is still great for fps

Interesting, the g700s looks like a really cool mouse.

I have the g700 and all I can say is it's amazing I use all the buttons even in fps so I barely have anything to do with my left hand

Anyone else?

There's a lot of aspects and preferences when it comes to a "perfect mouse."
 
Things to take into consideration:
- sensor
- switches
- shape
- weight
- button feel
- scrollwheel
 
More than often people think laser = better, which isn't the case. Laser sensors usually have more acceleration and other tracking issues when compared to optical sensors.
 
Regarding your question about the RAT7, it's horrible and avoid at all costs.
 
Mice, with perfect sensors:
- Microsoft WMO 1.1
- Microsoft IMO 1.1
- Microsoft IME 3.0
- Logitech G400
- Logitech G400s
- Razer DeathAdder 2013
- Razer DeathAdder 3G
- Razer DeathAdder 3.5G
- Razer Abyssus
- Zowie FK
- CM Storm Spawn
- CM Storm Xornet

^ That dude pretty much nailed it.

 

In the wireless arena, I guess the G700s would take the title, but it's not the optimal mouse for FPS.

 

In the wired world, pretty much take your pick from the mice he listed, as well as...

 

- CM Storm Recon

- Roccat Savu

- Roccat Kone Pure Optical

- Zowie AM

- Zowie EC1 Evo

- Zowie EC2 Evo

- Corsair M40

 

Though if you've been using the Mamba and feel you could tolerate re-leashing your mouse, the Deathadder 2013 would probably be your best bet.

So many choices. I better get researching!
