Gaming mouse worth buying?

[AT0MAC]

I have a Asus Gladius mouse were the rubbery pads on the sides are starting to come loose, the glue have given up.

I have had it for a really long time so instead of fixing it maybe its about time to try something new.

 

The last few years I have had a Mionix Naos 5000, Razer Mamba, Razer DeathAdder Mac ed., Logitech G5 (the original orange) just to mention those I remember.

 

I play FPS games and have a weakness for sniper games, so a combination of speed and accuracy is needed, specially like when you can on the fly change profiles.

 

There are SO many mice out there it makes my head kind of hurt, what should I take for a spin in your opinion?

I play Overwatch and use the Logitech G Pro.  It's said to have the best optical sensor and is widely used by many pro Overwatch players.  The software allows for multiple profiles and DPI settings, adjustable polling rate.  It's one to consider doing your research on.

Yes I looked at specially that one, would also match my Logitech G413 Silver keyboard pretty nicely, it just looks a little simple by design, is it any good to grab for long periods of time?

I use the Fingertip Grip method as opposed do the Claw Grip, or Palm Grip, and I've never noticed any sort of fatigue in my wrist or hands.  However, I only tend to play in durations of about one hour before I get bored and do other things.  Sadly, I'm nowhere near the hardcore gamer I used to be.

i also use fingertip grip and own the logitech g pro, to me it's very comfortable, but then my hands are also relatively small, i'm not sure how it would be for someone else.

another mouse worth considering, imo, would be one of the zowie EC/FK series mice, depending on your palm size and grip preference.

That site is pretty good!

Looks like the G403 or the Sensei 310 would fit the best into what I want. Thanks for the suggestions, now its all up to me to order them and test them out

Just FYI it has the sensor as G403, G502 and G900.

Corsair Sabre RGB? Its looks are a bit garish but it's a really comfortable mouse. 

P.S. I play copious amounts of Team Fortress 2.

Corsair M65 is pretty decent for FPS games. It can be had for quite cheap to since it's on sale pretty often.

A local store here have gotten their hands on a pile of "Omen by HP, with Steelseries technologies" mice for pretty cheap.

I held one in the hand today, it feels awfully plasticy and the clicks sounded horrible, even that it was unpacked for me to hold in the store, so i know it was brand new.

Kind of turned me off from the Steelseries 310 as it looks very similar to the RIval lineup.

I know the Omen uses some home brewed Steelseries buttons, not omrons, but still it felt wrong.

 

The problem with my Gladius mouse is that one of the rubbery panels is loose and have to be refitted every time i want to use it, im thinking the easiest solution for now will just be a bit of glue..... Actually surprised to see that the Rocket Jump Ninja never made a proper review of this mouse, its really good
