oliveryochest Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 Razer all the way. Would not have it any other way. Copperhead is what I'm using. Good grip and excellent features. Never use wireless when gaming. Wireless lags. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
p0tter Posted November 22, 2005 Posted November 22, 2005 I have a MX510 and a MX518 dont noticed a difference between the two, but they both are awesome if your right handed. I liked the price at the time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Joalaielna Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 I fixed my mouse problem, I switch from a plastic black mouse pad to a cloth green one and I haven't had a problem since. Weird. Thanks for all the help as always. You could put resolved on this if you want. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CPDMF Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Been following this thread looking for something to replace my mx518. The buttons on the side are a little too high and too far forward for it to be comfortable in gaming. I'd like to use those buttons for crouching and going prone in games. Anyone know of a mouse with a little better layout for a mechanic with busted up hands... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qw3r7y Posted December 3, 2005 Posted December 3, 2005 Go with the copperhead! Have tried many and none come close... macro's, on the fly dpi adjustment, good button placement and great pick up on the laser. The only mouse I've ever had that will even work on a reflective surface! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
whackattack Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 Go with the copperhead!Have tried many and none come close... macro's, on the fly dpi adjustment, good button placement and great pick up on the laser. The only mouse I've ever had that will even work on a reflective surface! I have the copperhead and I would say that the side buttons are not the strong ppoint of this mouse, thumb ones are ok but pinky buttons arent well placed, some ppl cut the blu ruber thing to get better acces to it tho. The two main buttons are awesome for sure, better than the 518's 2 main buttons. And the microsft side buttons(mouse 4) tend to bend and push down the trigger button (left click), for example I used to zoom with mouse4 but it would fire a shot at the same time, revealing my positiong and an awp rifle takes 3 secondes to reload a single bullet.. but thats just a microsoft mice issue. So for a mouse that has better placement and acces of the side buttons its probably a matter of looking around but good luck. What I did when I got my mx500 and the buytton placement was odd, IO fireup a real button mashing game, with an emulator, I took Mortal Kombat4 and played it with the logitech mouse using only the mouse buttons to make combos, and finished the game, thats how I got used to the odd placement of those logitech mouse, back then.

Webdev511 Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I use my mx518 for general mousing and am pretty happy with it. For gaming I'm one of those weird guys that uses a Joystick and Trackball. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmueller Posted December 4, 2005 Posted December 4, 2005 I own a MX3100 Keyboard and Mouse setup and, while they are both very fast and elegant, the mouse is pretty bulky, and people may find it awkward to use for gaming. But, again, Logitech wireless stuff is fast and always high quality, plus the lag is practically imperceptible. However, I would avoid the g5 or g7... there's only 1 side button which is really obnoxious. 2 side buttons are necessary to page back and forward with your internet browser. So not having that is a big problem. With that said, I would really test of the Razer line of mice. They look very comfortable and I've heard they're extremely fast and reliable. Perfectly suited for gaming. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
