First gaming mouse suggestion

[IAmAndre]

Hi,

 

All my life I've been using a mouse and keyboard only for strategy games, I've been using a controller for all the other genres. I'm slowly trying to get used to using a mouse and keyboard with Titanfall 2. I'm not having a bad experience so far but I really need to upgrade my mouse. So far I've been only using regular mice like €10 Logitech wireless model.

So after playing TF2 I've noticed a two things:

- There's no vibration ! I'm so used to this when gaming, are there vibrating mice (I assume they would make a lot of noise if they aren't on a thick mousepad).

- I need more than 2 buttons.

 

I'm not going to spend a lot of money on peripherals since I'm just trying to get used to M+KB, so I'm really looking for something elegant, preferably of the Logitech brand to go along with my keyboard but it's OK if the brand is different. I really insist on the fact that it has to be elegant, though I don't RGB or anything like that. I don't care if it's wireless or not.

 

Thanks

I have the razer deathadder elite and i love it. It has like 7 buttons, but four are on the mouse wheel so it isn't that bulky. And also if you have larger hands the deathadder is perfect.

no vibration on most mouse

i recommend you try either a mechanical keyboard from linus's $35 keyboard roundup (i think one is good, right?) or buying a devastator 2 kb/m combo (the keyboard is really nice, i had one before) 

why do you want more than 2 buttons? in all games, you only need two buttons, left and right click.

In alot of games, it is very beneficial to bind commands onto side buttons on our mouse. ex: in csgo i have my mic key bound to one of the side buttons on my mouse. Instead of having to reach over to my keyboard, I can keep my hand on my mouse and just move my thumb to activate my mic.

I rate the Razer Deathadder, Its very comfortable, performs brilliantly & looks great

Thanks I think I'll go for this one. It seems to be very popular online. However there are many fake versions on eBay for $20, that means more research on the seller is required before buying.

You can buy it new from amazon or bestbuy for 60$

A simple use that came to my mind while playing is throwing grenades.

for the mic button, i just use alt

my left hand is already on shift/a/w/d/space, ill just move my thumb a bit to the left to talk, which is infrequent.

 

i seriously have no use for the extra buttons lol

I don't live in the US, so eBay is my goto platform.

Logitech G502 is a nearly perfect mouse.  It doesn't matter whether you get the Proteus Core or the Proteus Spectrum.  The Proteus Spectrum just has RGB whereas the Proteus Core does not.

Good reviews online, but not elegant at all!

The G703 is pretty 'elegant'.  It would work best with that wireless charging pad though.

It is elegant, but more expensive than the Razer. I'd rather save money and buy a wired mouse.

You can use it in wired mode too.  It comes with a cable.  I owned a Razer Deathadder and it broke within 4 months of using it.  It just stopped working.

I second the G502. Excellent mouse. Although I would recommend giving a look at the G700s. I think they discontinued it, but you can still find it for sale and it is a wired/wireless hybrid. It's a bigger mouse, but I like that. Plus, it doesn;t have so many buttons that it feels overwhelming.

 

I mean, I would like to recommend the best mouse ever, the Logitech G9x (may she rest in peace). But Logitech stopped making that model a very long time ago and the ones that are left are crazy expensive.

I always need the most buttons on my mice

I have the Logitech G602, and can strongly reccomend it. It's a very good wireless mouse with inperceivable input lag, and lasts very long in terms of battery life. Sorry for being a walking advertisement, but it's 50% off on Amazon...

The Steelseries Rival 700 has a haptic feedback thing on the thumb which is as close as you're gonna get to vibration in a mouse although it is a heavy mouse

Interesting. But it's over my budget. I'm considering getting the 100 though since it's cheaper than the Razer model.

if you're still taking recommendations, the logitech g403 is a very good shape for most hands. wired or wireless is very good, or if you want to go for the wireless charging pad thingy, go for the g703 (i think thats the updated g403?)

Wow this could be the perfect mouse, but for now the Steelseries Rival 100 can be found at $20 less so I think I'll go for it.

+1 for G502. I've had bad experiences with two DeathAdders, but maybe they've improved the build quality and quality control since the 2013 model...

I might have found the perfect match. Any thoughts on the Razer Atheris?https://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-atheris?src=pgm.81594800&utm_source=Razer_Social_Media&utm_medium=smlink_US_launch&utm_campaign=razer_atheris

I would recommend the Logitech G502. When I first started looking for mice, it didn't take me long to settle on that one. It is very ergonomic (perhaps ever so slightly smaller than I would like) and I can use it for hours on end without hand cramping.

 

It has three easy to access buttons on the side that can be quickly pressed by your thumb. You can also use left and right on the scroll wheel which brings you to five buttons and seven if you count up and down on the scroll wheel. Between all these buttons, I usually have almost enough for my FPS games. I usually only have to rely on one or two extra buttons on the keyboard. 

 

You can also store three different profiles and quickly change between them with the push of a button on the mouse. Changing DPI is super easy as well as there are dedicated buttons for that. Finally, there is a button that will switch the scroll wheel from the clicky feel to a free flowing one. It's great for when you want to scroll really far down a page quickly.

 

It does have a little bit of a "gamer look" but it is very mild compared to others. It's mostly black so it kind of just looks aggressive instead of flamboyant. It has a little lip on the bottom (the part with the blue) that works amazingly well for resting your thumb.

 

Oh yeah, I almost forgot to mention that it has a weight system that can be easily swapped so you can get the ideal feel. And the software is really easy to use and offers some nice features, like the ability to calibrate the mouse to the surface you are using it on.

 

Anyway, I highly recommend it. It's great for both gaming and productivity. It is also pretty well built and feels solid in the hand.

You said you buy on eBay and I see it going for under $50 so I would definitely check it out.
