G5. Sucks cock compared to Mx518, but the MX518 plastic shell was god awful, and broke on me. I never took the right time to find a comfortable sensitivity on my G5 with fps games, so I use default now because I don't give a shit. I still drop bombs against kids who think they are good.

Razer Death Adder.
Best side buttons in all of gaming.
Me too, great mouse.
I've had a mx518 and a intelli 3.0 but I think the DeathAdder just edges both of them.

I wish this topic included keyboards. I'm looking for one but can't decide.

Just go wired because once again, wireless just ain't fucking worth it if you ask me. Logitech made me believe that.

I've never used the tilt wheel in windows but it was useful for additional buttons in games. I do miss that. I would assign the buttons including the tilt buttons to keyboard keys then reuse them with the ctrl, alt, shift. Virtual 15 buttons for World of Warcraft.
The only issue I had is some of the mouse buttons not registering as fast as the left and right click. It seemed like there was a limit on how fast I could push them. I couldn't figure out if it was software, a hardware limitation, or something wrong with the physical buttons.

I have this same one. No complaints, except the Razer's side buttons are better for gaming, as a previous poster stated. I like the ability to customize the weight.
I previously had a G7. About a year in, it started de-syncing from time to time, and the battery swapping grew from a mild nuisance to a serious annoyance as the battery life and my patience grew shorter.

Using a copperhead. Worst and best mouse ive used. while it worked it was awesome but for the past 6 months its been crapping out, Razers driver system is so shitty but i love there products otherwise.
If you're like me and love the precision/build quality/buttons of Razer mice but find the Logitech ones more comfortable, you should check out the Razer Imperator.
It's Razer's latest mouse. I've been using it for about a month now, and so far it seems to have the awesomeness of my old Diamondback but the comfort of my old 510. The side buttons are adjustable so you can move them to be in a more comfortable position too. Combined with a Destructor mousepad and it is just amazing.
On top of the two side buttons it has 2 DPI adjustment buttons (that can be reprogrammed to anything) and the mouse has onboard memory so it can store all your macros and game profiles.

No such thing as a good wireless mouse IMO. I don't feel like dying because my mouse gets interference and decides it wants to run off to one side, or it loses sync or something. Thats not even mentioning the batteries. More trouble than it's worth.
I've been using the same logitech G5 series 1 for close to 5 years. Damn thing is a tank.

You realize wireless technology has come a long way, right? Wireless mice are pretty reliable now... a wired mouse is just a placebo these days. Not to mention the fact that a good one should have batteries that last for months.
Even in shooters like Counter-Strike: Source where a ridiculous response time is required I haven't really noticed a difference in precision when comparing modern wired and wireless mice. The human brain just cannot process those extra few ms fast enough for it to make a real difference. It's certainly not worth the inconvenience of having to drag a cord around.

MX518. Awesome mouse for the price. I recently started gaming on my laptop again (older games), and I just couldn't live with my crappy generic mouse anymore and bought a second MX518.

...a Logitech PERFORMANCE MX. The MX Revolution is not made anymore.Leatherface said:I've had the older one now for like 4 years (MX Laser). The battery still charges fast and lasts a LONG time. I don't know how they do it.
I can't wait to pick this one up. Love these mice.
I really liked that side wheel. And those side buttons. Mad comfy.
But I actually feel like the MX518 is... better. Makes my hand feel icky though. (I did not notice any issues AT ALL while gaming with the MX Rev. It is a really nice mouse)
So now I have a Performance MX sitting in a box and my 518 here (was on sale) and I don't know what to do.

Microsoft Sidewinder X8. Best Gaming mouse Ive ever used. 3 independent DPI buttons. And the odd thumb button placement feels so right, I thought it would be weird at first but it was completely natural. It's kinda ugly, but the size and shape are perfect for my large hands. Unlike the multiple Razer mice I uses up until the Lachesis...
Which was the mouse that I upgraded from after it crapped out on me after the first firmware update they released for it. Razer wouldn't budge on the need for a receipt to repair it, so I went back to my Razer Copperhead for a short period before snagging the X8 when it came out.
Logitech makes some fine mice as well. The G5 is my laptop gaming mouse.

Logitech RX250.
I'm using this mouse because my old MX1000 broke a few months ago and I can't find a good replacement. The MX518 is just ugly, same with all the Razers. I can't stand this look that comes with a gaming mouse. They look like cheap chinese toys. Is it that hard to design a decent mouse without bling-bling LEDs and an illuminated logo?
I guess I'll buy a Logitech Performance Mouse MX.

Yeah, I still have that Microsoft mouse as my backup mouse, it's one of the most reliable hardware product they put out. I replaced it with Logitech MX Laser mouse because I want a wireless but the battery stop charging about a year ago so I replaced it with MX518. I didn't realize how heavy that Lasermouse was, I guess I must have gotten used to it playing WoW so much then.
To the guy that do not like the "holes" design, you can get one at Target that are just solid metallic red design (I assume it's Target exclusive). I got it when it was on sale for around $30.00, best gaming mice!

Logitech G9
After the brief adjustment time from my old MX510, I have come to really like it. The mouse itself is great and comfortable with the small grip. The software is how you switch "modes" is great too. On my mouse now I have one regular option, one where the side mouse buttons are keyboard keys (for games that don't support side mouse buttons), and one with no acceleration. That, in addition to speed switching, makes almost any game I play feel comfortable. It's even great for things like Wolfenstein (the new one) or Vice City PC where the Y-axis speed is different than X; it is easy to alt tab out of the game and drop/raise it as I need to.
I'd still like to see Logitech advance this and the MX510 style. I know they released the G500 in that style a while back. One thing I liked about that was that it seemed to have three side mouse buttons.
I never understood why two seemed to be the limit for side buttons on "gaming" mice. I've seen all purpose mice with more, console mice solutions with four (to match PS3/360 face buttons), and that Razer mouse with a number pad. Since I play PC and console games a lot, I'm used to letting my right thumb getting more action. I'm sure they can work out a layout that works.
edit: see that Logitech Performance Mouse MX posted above. Four side buttons on there.
