Help, I need a new gaming mouse
« on: January 05, 2016, 04:58:49 pm »

Currently I have this piece of garbage, but it stops responding for tenths of a second every few seconds, again. Stupid designers made the chord do two 90 degree turns inside the mouse, which usually cause wire failure within 3 years. I opened my mouse 2 years ago to cut and splice the wire, but now the wire is failing once again.

(click to show/hide)

Now I fucking hate choosing a new expensive product like this because everybody swears that their mouse is the holy grail, probably only because they've sunk too much money in it to hold a different opinion now. However, I have got a few things I want from a potential new mouse and I can't tell from most pictures, so I am going to ask anyway.

Anybody know a gaming mouse that:
- Is slightly smaller than the G5, or at least less tall. I got manlet hands
- Is good for fingertip grip, which is what I think I use
- Does not have known tendencies for (wire) failure within 4-5 years.
- Is wired
- Costs less than 60 euros
- Has at least two thumb buttons, though they probably all have that

Thanks

I'll just quote myself. It's really a good mouse imo, around 50 € (i thought it was cheaper like 3 years ago). I never got any problems and it doesn't look like a transformer or what.

I have a roccat savu for quite some time now and I am more than happy with it.

Buttons still work well with nice response and not so loud like some logitech I had. I have fairly large hands still I hate those big mice, this feels exactly right for me. The sensor is more than enough for all my needs and it has a reasonable price, really recommend it.

Using this one for 3 or 4 years now. Works like charm. Program memory in mouse so basically you need the drivers only once and works the same on every PC and/or OS.

Cheap, reliable, got all the bits and bobs you want...

Has no fancy trademark name tho, so that might be a problem (or not).

Ah, I always wondered why the profiles of my mouse are still the same after clean install, apparently the Savu has the same feature.

I just use a normal HP desktop mouse. It's simple, cheap, and works just fine. I don't see why people need these fancy gaming mouses. Im sure people will disagree with me, but that's just my opinion.

This looks interesting:

LOGITECH G502 PROTEUS CORE 68,78 dollars on amazon.

At the same time I guess my MX518 is never going to break and it fits my hand perfectly so at the unlikely event of it dying I'd look at G502 or G400 (if they sell them somewhere at that point anymore)

Because you get so much better stuff if you only invest 20€ more (or even less) on top of that cheap shitty hp mouse. 10€ mice are absolute garbage and you have to buy a new one after every couple of months because it will self destruct. Not to speak of the horrible click response etc ugh...

The click response is perfect, it's like 3 years old already, and it's never given any problems. It's only problem is that it doesn't really look cool. :)

replaced the mousewheel and the light goes through most part of it now, pretty cool how it's still kicking after all these years. 
not even sure, I had this mouse for ages.

no need for more than 3 buttons because aesthetics

I have a razer naga mouse, I bought it because it glows red like my computer and I'm dumb and am willing to spend a large amount of money for something that doesn't help me game at all. It works pretty good, I've had it for a few years and never had a problem.

Well fact is, NA players are mostly casual normies not knowing mechanics & who would have no chance against competitive EU players on the same ping.

For playing CRPG, the thumb button is superfluous. They are very inconvenient in the fierce fight. I love the smooth and clean mouse, no extra buttons.

Extra buttons are god tier for flipping pages back and forth while browsing interwebs tho.
