Hello community, I'm  currently on the hunt for a new mouse for my gaming computer. I tend to play a lot of first person shooters and some Command&Conquer and Starcraft on the side. I'll post below what I need from the mouse, and please don't defer from these since this is what I want not what you want. I'm open to lot of suggestions and please leave pros and cons of why you like it and why you hate it. Currently im rocking a Razer Orobours but having a lot of issues and now generally hate razer.

 

 

 

Requirements :

  • Not made by Razer
  • Maximum DPI 8200 (has to be this)
  • Comfortable
  • Wired or Wireless 
  • if wireless must be rechargeable

A few suggestions:

  1. Mionix 8200
  2. Logitech G500S
  3. Logitech G700S
  4. Roccat Kone Series (XTD, Plus, Pure, etc)
  5. Corsair M95
  6. Thermaltake Level 10

It all depends what hand you use, the size of your hand, plus your preference of grip.

I really like my CM Storm Sentinel Advance 2. Has a DPI of up to 8200, Very comfortable (for me), Wired, and it has different coloured lights. I like the purple :3 Plus it comes with 5 5g weights, which i find awesome :D

 

But to be more serious. It's a great mouse for the price. (got mine for 60 bucks, here's a link:

Since you have got some suggestions above (would like to throw in the M series made by Corsair such as M65 and M95) I would just like to ask: Why is one of the prequesties that it can't be made by Razer?

 

Just wondering :)

He said in the original post, he has a Razer product, and currently hates it, and he doesn't like their products.

You don't like Razer overall because of one product? 

 

I also got a question; Why the hell do you need 8200 dpi.

 

I personally love my Razer Deathadder 3.5G for Counter-Strike. It has an optical sensor so it's precise as hell and since I play on low sensitivity, the 3500dpi is more than enough (I play on 800 dpi). The new 2013 Deathadder offers 6400 DPI (don't quote me on that one) and surely that's more than enough. It's a real comfortable mouse and not bad for its price since it's one of the only mouses with an optical sensor (best sensor in my opinion).

Sorry to doubt, but when someone can't spell the name of the product they claim to own I doubt the claim, but I must have missed that. Thanks for clearing it up :)

I've owned over 5,000$ in razer hardware and I had one small issue with a keyboard that the numerkeys not the numpad didn't work 80% of the time. They blamed me and took me 7 months to fix it with them. With how much money I spent with them I should've had better support they don't care about customers, they care about name. Years before they were the best, but recently their quality has fallen and though they are built awesome all of products only live to the warranty period. The price you pay for those mice , keyboards, headsets, and mouse pads they shouldn't have issues.

Let me ask one question.

 

Why do you need 8200 dpi?

DPI 8200? Mine it is not even 900...

 

I have 4 total screens and do a lot of faced pace work and need a mouse that can keep up with me - and that I find it comfortable to use with my displays.

How is it possible to spend $5k on Razer?

Actually it is quite possible, I have had so many Razer products over the course of 8-9 years, I wouldn't be surprised if I had spent that much.

Anyway you can't go wrong with Logitech.

Mionix Naos 8200 would be the one to go for imo.

I was just looking at that but I saw the induction charging one at the CES show so should i wait for that?
