Mouse Help?

Go to solution Solved by Kira0172,

Hey I have been trying to research and look into mice for a while now but am still having a lot of trouble finding the right one.

The first issue is that I have very large hands (9" from palm to middle finger tip) so finding a mouse becomes more an issue because of this.

I do not know a lot about the sensors within mice and what's good and what is not in terms of acceleration and tracking and that is partially why I came here with this question is hopefully to get more educated opinions than my own.

From what I have been looking into I have gained an interest in the Logitech g600 (tried it at a local computer store seems to fit my hand pretty good) and the Logitech g9x. I play many types of games such as cube world, minecraft, LoL, planetside 2, MMO's, and the occasional FPS and Role Playing games. Let me know what you think of these and if they are not the best choices feel free to tell me why and leave a recommendation. Thanks, Wenzel.

What's your budget? Something from the R.A.T series might suite your needs, since you can pretty much customize it to fit any hand, many people say negative things about them, but I've been using a R.A.T. 9 for a year and a half and absolutely love it!

G9x, G600 would be a good choice

How about a CM Storm Sentinal Advance II. Its pretty good for large hands, or the CM Storm Inferno if you need more buttons on your mouse :)!

Thanks for the image, I know there are many people that only like optical sensors. I myself have been using a deathadder for some time (new mouse is to be used with a Asus g750 when I travel). But my question is will I actually be able to tell the difference with the acceleration. Like in game would I realize the negative affects of it or is it minuscule enough to not be an issue?

From my experience, you can't notice it when you try to find the difference. But, It does really make a difference. If you play fps, that is. I think it's less important for non-fps games.

Do you think the new deathadder would be a good choice for me? My current one fits good with a claw/hybrid grip. I used to always think the new deathadder was too expensive but I found a good deal on it for $69.99.

Thank you for your opinion, but I find that having lots of extra buttons on a mouse is better. I Can reprogram keystrokes to my muse, and have macros. I'm currently using the Logitech G700, and I love it. I'm planning on buying a Corsair M95 soon. Also, I've never even herd of Zowie. Like at all...... But its in the god tierand demigod tier. Ok then....

well. have you ever seen a filco in a store? Eventho it is the best quality kb imo(actualli ibm model m is #1). The sensors are flawless, that is the main reason why those mice are good

I'd say buy it. Unless you really dont want to spend much money on it. The new one feels really good.

I had one R.A.T. 9 for two years no complaints just suddenly dying after two years. I say take R.A.T. 9 or wired option of that.

Now I have Razer Ouroboros and I say avoid this mouse as much you can it was bad buy but expensive so I will use it out, but I will say to anyone to avoid it.

While I think that poster/chart/graph looks clever and all, I don't quite agree with it. Yes, it seems optical is preferred these days, but I've been gaming with laser mice for years and have no issue playing FPS with them....and when I miss a target, I put it down to my skill, or lack thereof, rather than the sensor on my mice,  I have two mice on that allegedly 'shit' list, a first gen G9 and a Kone XTD, great gaming mice.....and I make this statement w/o any reservations, great mice indeed!
