Lets talk about computer mice, but specifically gaming computer mice. For all you gamers out there, what mouse do you use and why? As I am in the market for a new peripheral, I'd like to hear opposing viewpoints so as to make the best selection.
A little bit about me: I have used the Logitech G400 and absolutely *loved* it. It was a pleasure to use and helped me pwn to noobz so to speak. Unfortunately though the cable died and so I had to toss it. I would get another but they are a little expensive now and I can find better, newer mice for cheaper.
a lot of people don't like it becuase you can really hold it with your palm because it has a small butt, but I hold mices with my fingertips so I love it.
There's also the g303 but it has a braided cable so fuck that
Blake Clark
Yikes, it's a little too pricey for me. Can you suggest something in the
Angel Morales
Use this for playing twitch shooters. Retardedly accurate and beats the shit out of any gaming mice I've encountered.
Logitech M570 wireless. Git gud scrubs.
Colton Kelly
Yeah it's pretty bad for palm grips, it's still good for claw grips imo because it fits well in the hand but for palm it's kinda unconfortable since there isn't enough surface for the entire hand.
And the g303 even has the same sensor as the G403(I'm assuming this is the mice you're referring in the OP), so really it's just the same mice with a different body
Austin Carter
Razer deathadder would be a safe bet. There's chroma and non chroma. If you can't afford, just get something with a similar shape. If possible, don't buy online, since you can get screwed on size / reported dimensions so easily
Austin Campbell
I might get a G Pro soon
Ryder Robinson
zowie fk1 previously owned a g9 and then a deathadder, the zowie is hands down the best one i ever used
Benjamin Carter
Is it really worth the $60 price tag? What makes it stand out from the rest?
Matthew Johnson
this
Juan Hughes
G pro is really good.
Daniel Flores
If you wanna save some money get the g102. Only downside it has over the g pro is a limit of 6k dpi. The sensor tracks as well as the g pro.
Alexander Morris
but muh pixart perfect sensor
Carter Myers
What's a good, fairly ergonomic mouse with two thumb buttons that doesn't make me look like some gamer nerd or cost 300 dollars?
Andrew Gray
kys ball fondler t. g403 owner
Anthony Morales
I have the g900 also and love it, came from a g402 which I loved. Wireless is great, lag is nonexistent, the scroll wheel is great, it feels great, no complaints and definitely worth saving a bit more for it
Brandon Adams
I use the logitech one with the meme weights, 502 I think
Xavier Ross
I just got this mouse. Everything feels real good about it. My only gripe that it's a little too long for my tastes. But I love how tactile everything is, especially the scroll wheel.
Aiden Martinez
I'll be rail gunning your ass from across the map biiiitch.
Suck this ball :D
Gavin Bennett
If the 502 is bigger than the 403 then ill get that, because the 403 is smaller than the G400
Jaxson Ross
Logitech MX518 for gayman, MX Master 2S for everything else.
Asher Lee
zowie ec2-b?
Jacob Torres
The only good mouse
Christian Cruz
g502 master race. All weights in it, feels great.
Samuel Perez
Good suggestion, is it possible to get anything decent like that for, say, 50% the price of that? I really wasn't planning on replacing this Steelseries mouse I have, but it's a piece of fucking garbage that's not working after like 2 years of moderate use.
Nicholas Perez
Love my 403 so much that I got one for work.
Jeremiah Mitchell
Just got the wireless g403 and now I hate using my work mac even more. I'm considering buying another one to keep at work
James Davis
What grip do you use? I noticed that it is smaller in height and width compared to the G400, but how it that translates I'm unsure. I don't have huge hands or anything like that.
Leo Morales
My man. Just looked it up though and its not compatible :(
Matthew Perry
WTF, we Sup Forums - Logitech now?
>G400s here. good shit
Matthew Gonzalez
I'm looking form a non gamer mouse that will last me ~5 years. I don't play games. I just want a 100 gorillion click microswitches and good scroll, don't care for sensor since I'm shitposting and web browsing 16/24.
Jonathan Russell
Go to Goodwill and buy the cheapest mouse they have. Literally doesn't matter.
Jeremiah Cooper
Honestly, I'm not sure. I'd say it's a mix between fingertip and claw. Sometimes the back of the mouse touches my palm, but for the most part my hand rests on the mousepad/desk and I drive with my fingers.
not compatible with what?
Aaron Sanders
Intellimouse 3.0
Justin Williams
G602 >all dem buttons >dat great battery life >only $40
Zachary Campbell
logitech marathon is pretty dang good. i had to disable the bottom thumb button because i kept accidentally hitting it. other than that -- 8/10 A++ would meese this mouse again
Charles Walker
looks good. thanks. too bad there is no wired version.
Hudson Gonzalez
Same. 3 years now.
Mousewheel feels a bit iffy but it still works.
Ian James
It's a shame the G400(s) don't have reinforced cables. that's how mine died
got real unlucky with it, went through 3 all with some defect. buttons sticking and the scroll wheel wobbling way more than usual.
Cooper Morales
garbage clicks that can't be fixed, do not get shilled into zowie
Chase Evans
>Using a literal brick as a pointing device You probably aren't in the top 1% of whatever game you play
Cooper Harris
I need a budget mouse
which is better? the logitech g300s or g203?
Brandon Lewis
Bought a G900 non-wireless charging for $55 from bestbuy, what can I expect? For $55 I don't expect it to be better than Razer.
Logan Rivera
>what mouse do you use and why g900, because it's the second wireless mice I find usable since Pleomax moc-315b (but it's proprietary wireless adapter broke quickly and they are no longer in production so I didn't really use it much). Also I suspect there is some kind of scam involved because older cheap mice's sensors rival modern gayming sensors in accuracy, especially on hard surfaces. On my sphex v2 after calibrating g900 multiple times it still snaps often when I play osu. I thought calibration was a meme but on default profile it snaps at like 2 m/s.
Josiah Morgan
It's not perfect at all
Liam Williams
G502, super comfy with a couple of buttons for macros.
Jaxon Kelly
Actually, your pic is the way to go. I've used it for a year and I'd definitely buy it again.
Henry Murphy
check'd, blyat
Kevin Gomez
my nigger right here
Angel White
>For all you gamers out there, what mouse do you use and why? Bought a G102 three weeks ago because it its the only decent mouse below 50USD. Also because it's fits really nice in my small-to-middle sized palm and the whole body is pure plastic. No soft touch coating, no rubberized pads, just rough surface plastic.
Jonathan Wright
Mionix Naos 7000
Looking to get a new mouse as this one is finally giving up the ghost after some years. Everything is so wide though. I don't want to feel like I'm holding a baseball anymore.
Samuel Rivera
rival 100, its fucking great, but the mouse4 and 5 buttons are kinda tiny breddy gud for 30 burgers
Gabriel Cooper
Got this a couple months ago. How long did yours last?
Luis Campbell
I've had it since around 2013 I think. I would say I've used it extra heavily. Went through a period where I was gaming for a literal 18-22 hours a day for a while.
It held up until about a month and a half ago my mouse wheel click stopped registering unless I pressed extra hard. Now my LMB isn't registering every click; even holding it down it will cut out.
So I've had 4 solid years with it, and if you're a more reasonable user, I could see it going 6 or more, at LEAST 5.
Liam Fisher
>hey Sup Forums recommend me a good mice that will last me a few years or more >hey now there partner cool down I meant find me a cheap shitty mouse I can afford!
Henry Jenkins
even top of the line mice are in the $40 range if he doesn't want some pro gaymen shit, but just something that wont break, it's reasonable to ask for something less than that. fuck you faggot
Nathan Johnson
Encouraging. Thanks.
Gabriel Walker
>Sup Forumstard who can't even replace a simple mouse cord >posts on Sup Forums Get the fuck out.
Matthew Perry
as I said in the last thread
Jaxon Adams
had microsoft inellimouse 1.11A for 7 years and i'm a hardcore quake player. I switched to zowie because of the ressemblance and it's actually lighter
Alexander Green
bad idea to pay more than 20-30 bucks for a mouse
Lucas Reyes
stop being a salty elitist cunt.
Ian Barnes
$55 is a good fucking deal.
Ayden Adams
I usually do this trick with my mouses.
>Buy a decent logitech mouse >Buy a shitload of switches from ebay. >When I have issues with clicking I change the copper connector from the old switch with a new one. >Mouse is brand new for another half year+
Did this for years with my G9X and now doing with a G402.
Hunter Reed
>cable died
Cable for G400 is like $3 on aliexpress
Parker Barnes
>6-year-old razer deathadder shits itself finally >buy a logitech g502 >functions fine but feels way too small for my grip and it has too much bullshit on it >return it and go for ergonomics instead, get a steelseries rival 300 >mouse feels great in my hand but takes an annoyingly high amount of pressure to press down m1 and m2
fug
i have plenty of time before i have to return it, should i try to get used to it or just keep trying different mice? are there any mice with a shape similar to the rival 300 but with maybe better buttons?
Nathaniel Perry
I use the logitech g900, pretty satisfied thus far. Yes I will shill it if you tell me it's shit
Jaxon Lopez
I do this with my mice but it's the wheel sensor that needs replacing. I got a 10 pack of those from Alibaba, it extended the life span of both my home hardware and the one I use at work by 5 years already.
Hunter Morgan
death adder. its comfy. rubbery skin is still not damaged. i bought it like 6 years ago and its still works fine.
bought it cause my previous genius one was glitching - sometimes was giving me strange spin around in fps gaems
Jason Cooper
Would it be possible to add a keyboard switch, in theory? That click though.
Chase Reyes
Too big. Also these micro switches on mouses are already mechanical.
Julian Moore
I got a new deathadder elite a few weeks ago. It works incredibly well, is a good weight, and I got it on sale for less than $40. Was a pretty good buy.
Nathaniel Ramirez
>t. wristlet
Dylan Price
I know it's a laser sensor which isn't great if you're a "pro" gamer, but I used this mouse for 3 years. Bigger than the g502, slightly lighter, braided cable and easy to click buttons
Have had a logitech g3 for 10 years. Still works great, but my hands grew and I needed something more ergonomic. Bought pulsefire fps recently. Works great so far.
Eli Nguyen
haha :)
Aaron Rogers
G502 user, can anyone tell me if my sensitivity is too high or too low? youtu.be/JeTtLIs-RFg
Wyatt Roberts
it doesn't look too high or low, but you can't really tell that from a video anyway
if i had to make a comment on your aim, it's that you don't really rely on muscle memory at all. you move your crosshair on enemies, confirm it's on top of them and then fire. you should learn the physical movement required to quickly snap onto an enemy and shoot without any visual confirmation at any point. and that kind of skill comes only with practice and getting used to your sensitivity.
if you can't twitch aim reliably using your shoulder and elbow even with 1-2 weeks "practice", then you should knock your sensitivity down.
Hudson White
Looks fine. It's usually down to your muscle memory anyway. Some say use low for precision/hitscan, high for projectile/spray but desu i've seen a guy land precise meatshots in tf2 scout vs scout with mouse accel, so, seriously, anything that works for you is fine.
Kayden Taylor
Buy another G400/G400S
They should be easy to find for a decent price. Seriously though I tried a G502 and a G303 and they are shit compared to the G400S for me.
G303 is too small for my hands and the G502 has terrible mouse feet, a shit cable wire and its also awkward to hold for me.
303's braided cable is actually not bad at all, still would prefer an unbraided one though. Not sure why the G502 uses a worse braided cable.
Juan Miller
If you want to be cheap, those cheap James Donkey mouses are pretty good.
Michael Morris
>D2

Jack Murphy
>g102/g203 master race
Christopher Barnes
Hate that soft shot on the left and on the right side.
Brandon Anderson
G600 - because in a world of keyboards, some men don't. Seriously the buttons are amazing for strategy games and spreadsheets, and frankly I can't detect any difference in accuracy between it and my G400. I still hope they make a new G600 with a decent sensor just for bragging rights, but I don't want to give up the second right click with some Corsair or Razer knockoff. >inb4 I get monkey paw'd with some Decepticon looking G699XSXSX GAYMEN ELITE PLUS nonsense
Blake Wright
Shit's good but you play shooters with it?
Henry Wilson
I use some generic logitech hamster and frankly it sucks, I've only now noticed it in FPS games after building a new rig.
I wonder if the 10€ chink gaming hamsters are any good. 100€ on a hamster seems overkill.
Jeremiah Collins
you can replace the cables on G400 or cut it and resolder it
