Hey guys,

The time has come for me to buy a new mouse...as the one I currently have Logitech RX1000 (1000dpi),the Right button doesn't work sometimes and that's a disaster when I need to aim down my sights quick in MW2 :D...a lost kill :cool:

Anyways....ive looked around and come up with these...what would you get?

Max budget = £40 -$66 usd.

1)Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse USB

Now i know they vary in dpi,but do we realy need anything over 1000dpi?

Also whats better? Infrared or Laser?

Im leaning more towards the Sharkoon Fireglider...it seems very high quality for the price...Not only that i could also get a gaming mat too.

Thanks in advance for any replies :)

Both of my Copperheads have come down with the same issue.
They are double clicking on the left mouse button and side mouse buttons.

Yeah, I wouldn't recommend them.
 
Is the Sharkoon related to Razer in any way?...the price looks too good to be true.....surely theres some catch?
 
I bought a G5 off bomberboysk, i'm very happy with it. altough it's the first version, the only difference is an additional "foward" button on the side of the mouse for webpages. the first version only has a back button... which is a bit strange i think.
 
I voted other because I'd recommend the G9x. Not only because I have one but its perfect for my needs. I'm not sure about prices though it might be out your budget. But if your going for a G9 get the G9x only costs a little more but its worth it.

If not I'd say a G5 2007 Edition, also a great mouse
 
If you went with this mouse you wound't need to buy one for a long time: Razr Mamba. It is £99 but it has 5600dpi laser, allows 14hrs continuous play or 72hrs of normal gaming and has no wires to drag around.

I had DeathAdder same issue. :(

I suggest get the g500 good 5700dpi and many people say it's better than the standard g5.
 
I don't think Logitech makes the G5 Gaming mouse anymore because recently mine broke because the laser stopped working. I called up Logitech and they are sending me the G500 instead. I
haven't seen the G5 in stores so I don't think you will be lucky enough to find one as I have searched on Newegg and a couple local stores that used to carry them and all have replaced it with the G500.

He can easily get it from ebay.com, amazon.com but g500 is better in my opinion.
 
G5's last a long time and the 2007 editions are only about $50 AU - i would have got one but i got a good deal with bomberboysk.

That's funny you should say that because I've had mine for a year and the laser recently broke. Luckily, it was replaced with a G500 free of charge. :)
 
Hmm seems the G5 is very popular...il give it another week or so to see how the votes go and then i shall be ordering something!

That's a very interesting topic.
But this field is still new to me.
It will be grateful if you give me some
more information about it.
Thanks in advance.
 
According to logitech the G500 has a bigger thumbrest and improved grip compared to the G5, so i'd get it if i were you.
 
Why are people voting for the G5? The G500 has the same design, but higher DPI. I would pick the G500. Awesome mouse. Or look at the Cooler Master Storm Sentinel mouse.
