NikolaT Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for the input. The choice of mouses here isn't great - mostly just Logitech and Razer really. I'll probably just get the G500 or MX518. Thanks again! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
satoritoken Posted December 20, 2010 Posted December 20, 2010 Thanks for the input. The choice of mouses here isn't great - mostly just Logitech and Razer really. I'll probably just get the G500 or MX518. Thanks again! if thats your choices, I would go ahead and spend 20 more for the g500 over the mx518 . the g500 has a better sensor and is abit more adjustable weight wise, either is a good choice though.

PurpleSuperman Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 (edited) The best mouse I've ever used was the Emprex M873u. I picked it up for £6 ($10) in a sale on Amazon and it hasn't failed me. It's a dedicated gaming mouse, but at 1/5 of the price It's my best purchase of 2010, and I'm not going to hesitate recommending it Here's the link for it. I looked on Amazon.com and couldn't find one, so I'm more talking towards the UK D: Sorry.

battery Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 the mx518 is the arguably one of the top 5 best mice ever made. the only real downside to it is that it has a 125hz polling rate. being as this is overclockersclub and not stockclub, i'm willing to assume you're not afraid to do some tweaking. so google how to change your polling rate in whatever OS you're using. i'd go into details here, but i honestly don't have the time/desire to explain what someone else already has. i recommend 500hz over 1000hz unless your mouse runs 1000hz stock. 125hz = 8ms 250hz = 4ms 500hz = 2ms 1000hz = 1ms Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
mojunikey7 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I have had the Logitech G500 and now I will Never change. On the fly DPI adjustment, Interchangeable weight sets, 8 buttons that you can manually configure to do whatever you want, or they come pre-configured if you don't feel like it, even the scroll wheel is adjustable, to either click, or free scroll. It is amazing. High quality build, and the usb cable is sheathed in Nylon for shielding instead of rubber coated, and long enough for a tower seated on the ground next to a full-sized desk.

battery Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 i own a g500 and i have several complaints. 1. its too heavy and the weights only make it worse. 2. has problems tracking on cloth pads 3. doesn't have the greatest malfunction rate. basically, the mx518 does everything the g500 does except weigh as much, store settings in the mouse and have 1000hz stock polling rate. the mx518 however, tracks perfectly on either hard or soft surfaces and has a very desirable malfunction rate.

sack_patrol Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 The MX518 is the ultimate gaming mouse regardless of anything. G5 is also good, but it's not AS good considering the price n stuff. It's well priced too unlike most other 'gaming' mice who actually aren't that good at all. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I bought my mouse when I was 16 because I found the name absolutely hilarious. OCZ Dominatrix. That's right, I've got a dominatrix as my mouse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jump4h Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 (edited) If you don't mind spending some extra dough, get the Razer Mamba. It can be switched between wireless and wired mode, and the wireless mode has no lag what so ever. Best mouse I ever used, and I've used both the G5 and the Mx518. It also has a 1000Hz polling rate and 5600 DPI. I bought my mouse when I was 16 because I found the name absolutely hilarious. OCZ Dominatrix. That's right, I've got a dominatrix as my mouse Is it smart to purchase a mouse based on its name?

iskout Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 Is it smart to purchase a mouse based on its name? Probably not, but I was 16, the specs and the price was right, so I went for it. I haven't regretted it. I think I payed $35 after shipping? It was on sale. That said, it's not as nice as the G5/G500, or the Mamba.

CheeseMan42 Posted January 2, 2011 Posted January 2, 2011 I loved my MX518 until it died, was about 4-5 years. I would have bought another one, but I got a Microsoft Habu free from a promotion. I have been using it ever since and got a spare. It is a Microsoft branded Razer mouse and works great. Though it did take about 2 weeks to get used to the different mouse shape.
