Mouse Thread

If you want a gaming mouse for FPS you need to look for
-Good sensor
(PMW3360, AM010) are good sensors
-lightweight
(Heavy mice are difficult to aim with, so look for anything under 100grams. G502 is a good mouse but it is extremely heavy at 120g, 145grams with weights)
-Wired over wireless all day. You don't need to charge them and wired are always more accurate
Usually cheaper than the expensive wireless versions (G900 is heavy, Mamba has sensor lag, G403 wireless if you're semi serious)
-DPI
You really don't need 16,000 DPI. Most people run 800 DPI. (disable Microsoft mouse acceleration, it's enhanced precision under mouse settings)
-Polling rate
You want 500 - 1,000 Hertz

You can pretty much use whatever mouse you want if you play MMO's or MOBA's.

Logitech's free scroll should be on every mouse. It's ideal for video and audio editing, as well as when working with spreadsheets.

-Zowie EC1 or EC2 (The FK series are great as well, BenQ are the newer versions. They sell both the EC and FK series mice)
-Logitech G403, wired (G303 with the 3363 sensor. It's good if you have small hands (it's the diamond shaped one))
-Logitech Pro
-Coolermaster MasterMouse S (it's 30 bux, 90grams, good sensor)
-Deathadder Elite (under 100granms, 3366, good manufacture support)

>Finding the right mouse:
Measure your hand across the palm, from the start of your distal palm crease to the knuckle of your thumb. This will give you a reference for the size of mouse you need.

>Small hand size
(14 – 16.9cm / 5.5 – 6.6?)

>Medium hand size
(17 – 19.5cm / 6.7 – 7.6?)

>Large hand size
(19.5cm / 7.7? and above)

Also 3988/3989, MLT04, 3310, 3389, and Mercury.

Will there ever be a better mouse? I've been using this thing for more than 6 years.

>no side buttons
lmao

Goat mouse. I put on some teflon feet and resoldered a pair of Japanese grey Omron switches. (I need to start looking for another shell though, it's getting shiny...)

MX Master is comfy tho

Zowie EVO EC2, best mouse. Super comfy.

>no mention of G102

I recently bought logitech B100, it's pretty nice. Just 3 buttons, no software, 800 dpi, like $10.
Neat if you need something simple.
