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!

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?

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 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.

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 :)

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!

    • Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents

      By zikalify · Posted

      Microsoft releases Visual Studio Code 1.124 with smarter autonomous AI agents by Paul Hill Microsoft has just released Visual Studio Code 1.124 with a focus on faster agent workflows and improved agent autonomy. Microsoft outlined the following features as the key items in this update: Autopilot: Autopilot, enabled by default, is now smarter to determine when a task is truly done. Background sessions: Quickly send a request in the background and keep composing the next session. Session navigation: Search, jump, and step through agent sessions with the keyboard. Browser history: Revisit and search pages you've already opened in the integrated browser. With VS Code 1.124, Microsoft has enabled Autopilot by default. For those that don’t know, Autopilot is a chat permission level that you can pick to give agents permission to take initiative and act autonomously, without needing explicit user approval for each action. Also related to Autopilot, Microsoft introduced Advanced Autopilot, which changes how Autopilot decides when to keep iterating and when to finish. This helps you get more complete results without manually monitoring loops. This feature works using a small utility model that reads a transcript of the chat and decides when the task is done. Another new feature in 1.124 is the Agents window, which lets you easily explore, iterate on, and review agent sessions across projects and machines. Previously, starting a new agent session meant waiting for it to load before you could compose the next one. With this update, sessions can be requested in the background. This VS Code update also brings session navigation updates to switch between them more quickly. The update also lets you reload or reopen the Agents window so that it no longer loses your layout, so you will land back where you left off. If you use the integrated browser in VS Code, you will notice that it now retains the history of visited pages. Suggestions will now show when typing in the URL bar and can be managed by using Ctrl+H within a browser tab. The browser now also lets you customize the toolbar more; just right-click on the toolbar area to the right of the URL input. Finally, the browser has faster agentic text entry. Another improvement is experimental enterprise-managed Copilot plugin policies that allow admins to centrally control which chat plugins and plugin marketplaces are available to developers. If you have VS Code installed, 1.124 should install automatically, or you'll get a prompt. If you don't have it installed, get it here.
