New Mouse.

[Luis.A]

Hey guys. I've been using a MX518 for about a year now, it's been a really well behaved mouse but i'm looking to upgrade into something better. Any recommendations on which mouse I should get? I do light gaming and photoshop work if that helps in your recommendations.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm looking for something VERY ergonomic!

Wireless or wired?

Check out the MX1100:

MS Revolution.

If you want to keep the same feel, you can look to the G5 v2 or G7 (wireless).

The only thing I do no like about my G5 v2 is the wheel hump. It's quite high when compared to the MX500/510/518. Other than that, the G5 v2 is a good replacement for a MX500/510/518 user. I also have a first gen G5, and the G5 v2 is the one you want to get, since it adds the extra thumb button, as seen on the MX series.

I have the Razer Copperhead and it doesn't suit me well. It's not quite so ergo but it caters to both lefties and righties, whereas the MX and G series I spoke about are only righties. I have not tried any of the other mice to tell you first hand at how they compare. Hope someone can help you out there.

If I were you, I might look at keeping the MX518, unless it is really wearing out. One of the biggest plusses to go with the G series is the mouse feet as they don't offer alot of resistance during movement(which is a big plus for some/most gamers).

I only really mentioned the mouse that I have tried. Only the G7 I don't have, but I figure it's the same as the G5 only heavier.

The Logitech MX Revolution is quite a nice mouse too, and may fit your needs more than a full out gamer mouse.

The MX Revolution does seem like a good alternative. But i've read some reviews and it's plagued by it random disconnects and by being dead on arrival. I love outside the US. So I have to order it, get it sent to PO BOX, then wait for it to be shipped here. So if my unit did come defective i'm basically throwing away 100$ + Shipping .

Anyone here have any experience with the MX Revolution?

LOVING my Razer DeathAdder....

I was a Logitech man for life until about 2 yrs ago.. I won a Razer Copperhead at a LAN tournament, and fell in love.. I will buy Razer's forever now :)

I got an MX Rev about 4/5 days ago, and I'm loving it. I was using the S510 k/m combo and the Revolution blows it out the water. Such a nice mouse :)

I'm on my third MX Rev and it's just the best for everything but FPS gaming.

I love the S510 best keyboard I've ever owned. What OS are you using your mouse in? And if it was'nt too much trouble what are your system specs.

100% any razer mouse. Use to be a huge logitech fan but after razer, no going back.

First: Sorry for the double post! :blush:

Second: THIRD?!?! What happened to the other two? :blink:

[StevoJD]

:p Other two probably broke, Logitech supports rocks hard though so they probably sent him free replacements.

As I understand it Razer mouse are good for gaming for their high dpi and whatnot. But they just don't seem to comfortable to me. They really downplay ergonomics on those mice. I've been using computers for about 10 years now and probably will for another 40. I would'nt like to suffer from carpal tunnel or chronic tendinitis just because of a non ergonomic mouse.

I've been using one for about a year I think, and it's great, best mouse I've ever had. Very customisable, loads of buttons, great scroll wheel, and it's never disconnected once.

I also have a DeathAdder just for gaming. I'd never use it as a day to day mouse, the scroll wheel is too stiff (which is great in games) and while my hand rests on it, I always right click by accident because the button is so sensitive (again, great for games).

EDIT: LOL you changed your name while I was replying, I wondered wtf was going on! You know you can only change it so many times right?

So I guess the Revolution it is :p . I'll be getting it in a month or so I hope and I'll post a review after that.

@ DARKFiB3R : Yeah you can only change it twice in 90 days i think. But i used up one change cause I did'nt read so now i'm stuck for the next 90 days. Anyways it's my name:).

Heh, I'm using it under Windows XP SP2, with specs that can run Crysis at low-med settings. E6400 CPU, 2gb RAM, etc.

Also, the S510 is a really great set, but since my mate gave me an old DiNovo Edge he didn't use, I'll be using that when I can contact Logitech about a charger for it :)

Sorry for bringing this thread back .. BUT.... I was wondering does the MX Revolution support on the fly dpi changing? I can't find any info on it anywhere.

[JoeC]

If it does, I can't find the option for it in my SetPoint.

thought i'd post this here.... the roccat kone is released, http://www.roccat.org/Products/Products/ROCCAT-Kone/ maybe you could give it a try

Wow that is a really nice looking mouse. I love how the leds change to whatever you want. My gripes are. WAY too expensive, i can't really justify 140$ US for a mouse. Not as ergonomic looking as the MX Revolution. WIRED. I want to reduce wires not add on more.

Anyways if I strike on a pot of gold i'd get it for sure :p . THANK!

pretty hot looking mouse.. Looks alot like a razer, but the color options are pretty sweet.. but its expensive, and it isn't sold in the US as of now looks like.

[FiB3R]

No on the fly DPI changing on the MX revolution, but then it's not really a gaming mouse, so....

I like the look of that roccat valo keyboard.
