What Mouse should I buy

Need a new mouse asap

Any suggestions? Two notes: dont want it too big and I need one that I can set up 400 DPI.

I used Microsoft SidewinderX5 and Razer DeathAdder in the recent past, both arent turning well know and freeze alot.

Re: What Mouse should I buy

Lec, let me allow to answer you.

The one that you chose is good enough.

BUT before choosing a mouse, there are several parameters to be taken into account :

- Are you left-handed person or a right-handed ?
- Have you have small hands (Not a stupid question lol)
- Use a DPI !
- Laser or optic ?
- How many buttons would you use ?
- How much money you would pay ?

Hope you choose a good one.

- right handed
- normal
- 400 DPI
- ive used both, whas best?
- 2 only, left click to shoot, right to zoom
- 50€ max

i highly doubt there's anything wrong with those mice. probably something in ur pc "freezing"; hardware or software, and not them

Re: What Mouse should I buy

I am very satisfied with my mx518 (g400), because it has 3 speed settings on it, right next to the wheel , and i find it very useful while playing with tank or plane, even with infantry these settings are sometimes fantastic, it s a beast, longevity is guaranteed, i have it for 7 years , and it has  i d say more then a million clicks by now(behaving still as brand new) . it goes well with logitech software, where you can adjust dpi settings as you wish... it s very handy, quite anatomic, and inside its program you can save settings for many games.....
i d go for it, when i bought it, it was like 50 euro, but now, it s a joke 20 $

Re: What Mouse should I buy

lecter, i know you wrote 50€ max and asap, but if you change your mind and possibly can pay a little extra + wait 15-45 days then logitech is releasing g500s (successor to g500). will probably cost 45 to 70€

looks promising, but may be average or below. i'd read some reviews before buying.

Re: What Mouse should I buy

I can recommend the Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0. Never tried anything else though so can't really compare.

Ramjet, can I adjust DPI with that one? To 400 or similar?

Thx guys for the advice. X-X-X-X-X-X I´ll check that one aswell. I can wait, im avoiding playing lately so I dont get pissed and dont piss anyone too.

Re: What Mouse should I buy

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 is a bit old, you can't adjust DPI. I don't like it, but I'm a lousy player.
I tested mine and strangely it says it has 200 DPI resolution, which should be 400 DPI. I used this MouseTest.exe from this webpage Enotus Mouse Test.
I heard wonderful things about Razer DeathAdder mouse, never tried it, though.

Re: What Mouse should I buy

Atm, I'm cleaning every part of my 3-year-old Razer Lachesis and it gonna be just like new. Bought it for 50% of price and the shop that sold it went bankrupt soon after

Lecter, a good read: Mouse Optimization Guide: Acceleration Fix and Polling Rate. It's a guide made for Counter-Strike: Source.

it comes as 400 DPI so you can't adjust much.

but one that works is. I dont need any fancy mouse, i used to play with that old one with a ball and I still think they are better than this new ones.
