Razer naga

That mouse is so good that using it feels like cheating.

[corn_fest]

Piggybacking on this thread rather than creating a new one:
Is the Logitech G400 a good mouse for fingertip grip (I only hold the mouse with my fingers, similar to claw grip but I don't rest the palm of my hand on the mouse)?
If not, does anyone have suggestions in a similar price range (~$40) that are?

[IsayFever]

Logitech G700, best mouse I've ever owned

[ciridesu]

Steelseries Xai,

Top quality, great grip and feel and just general awesomeness

Admittedly haven't really been in the scene in the last year, but found it better than the Razer and Logitech mouses that I have had ( mx518, deathadder, imperator to name a few )

[Tenck]

bro why don't you namedrop dota :<

What's that? :p

Since I didn't recommend a mouse, I'd like to say Death Adder. Melts in your hands and it's been very reliable.

[Zeal]

Logitech Darkfield. The best.

[Thrakier]

G700 is perfect.

[Rickenslacker]

I use a Razer Deathadder and would recommend it. Has no hardware level acceleration or prediction or any other sensor malarkey, just good pure tracking.

Logitech has fantastic customer support though, and if you're dead set on one of their mice I would recommend a G400. It's like an updated MX518 but with more DPI options and the recent runs of them have taken out prediction, which have hindered Logitech mice in the past (MX518 included).

+1 for the Razer Naga. I'd also recommend an MX518 as well, I have it as my backup :P

[Timedog]

Just bought a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 5000 for like $28 on amazon. It's really good and really accurate. Of course I don't need a specialized gaming mouse with 90 buttons.

That Logitech M305 in the OP is TINY. It's like a laptop mouse. I originally bought that not knowing how small it was, and I"m sending it back. If you want a full sized logitech, get the ones ending in "10" instead of "05", for instance, the M310, or M510.

[spindoctor]

This G400 is the updated version of the legendary MX518 (same shape with better texture and more dpi) simply the best gaming mouse out there.

Agreed. Folks who are recommending the MX518 should know that it's an EOL product now, and it has been replaced by the G400.

The only downside of the G400 is that it's only for right handed folks.

[sorijealut]

I use a G400 also, had a MX518 before.

Tip: if you have a MX518 and it's broken, you can get a free G400 from Logitech most likely.

[ch0mp]

The original and still the best.

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 3.0

[Jrmint]

I use the Steel Series Diablo mouse.

Love it.

[StuBurns]

I use a RAT, I love the little thumb rest, could never go back.

[xJavonta]

Do NOT get Razer.

The SteelSeries Sensei, Logitech G9x, and Cooler Master Spawn are great mice.

Do you have to send the mouse back? My bro has one and would be out of a mouse until he got a new one if so.

[Joseph Merrick]

I'll try the steelseries sensei I think.

been using logitech g9x for a few years now, have used up 3-4. these are incredible, but the scrollwheels have a tendency to break on these for me.

[damaph]

I have a logitech g9x and it's great if you use a claw grip. Logitech's customer support is awesome too.

[MNC]

I game with this thing, baby. And you should too.

[sorijealut]

Do you have to send the mouse back? My bro has one and would be out of a mouse until he got a new one if so.

Yep, I have sent one back and I had to do the same thing, used my spare mouse.
Mine made a high-pitch noise when plugged in which was really annoying.

They'll ask you to take a photo of it and stuff. It's kind of a lot of hassle but it might be worthwhile if you can wait.

[Stephen_drewz]

I absolutely love Logitech products. I have had a MX510, MX518, G5(x2) and a G500. But I have now moved to a Steel Series Sensei after my Logitech mice cables constantly wearing to the point of no longer working.

but no g9? wtf

[Taco_Human]

I bought a cheap 20 dollar gaming mouse only for the two extra buttons. Works great. Had it for almost a year now.

[Stephen_drewz]

but no g9? wtf

It was a major struggle to move away from the G5 style. G500 was a stretch :P

[milkham]

G700 is perfect.

How long have you had yours? After about a year mine started developing this problem where a single left click would register as a double click, this happened on my mx revolution as well, I'm wondering if I'm hard on my mouse or if it's a common failure.

[Totobeni]

Agreed. Folks who are recommending the MX518 should know that it's an EOL product now, and it has been replaced by the G400. The only downside of the G400 is that it's only for right handed folks.

yeah,reading some mouse GAF thread before this one I think many people don't really now the fact that G400 is the updated version of the MX518.

[The Lamonster]

My Razer Starcraft II Spectre is starting to crap out.

Conventional wisdom says I should stay far away from Razer, but dammit, their mice are sexy. Right now it's between the Mamba 2012 and the Naga Epic. I'm apprehensive about the Naga because I've never used anything like it before. I do play a lot of WoW though.

i.e. convince me why I need a Naga over a Mamba.

[mkenyon]

I have a SteelSeries Sensei Mouse and I love it.

DO NOT LISTEN TO LOGITECH PEOPLE. Steelseries Xai or IKARI(If you have large hands and right-handed, GET THE IKARI) I cannot emphasize how superior these mice are to logitechs...not only in durability but largely in comfort!

Yes, best mouse I had in years. Don't buy Razer, cheap quality Look at this beauty. Comletely customizable (except for weight)

These are the right answers.

The Sensei RAW is a good option if you don't want to spend $90.
