Hey so I have been using the Logitech G5 for about 3 years. I like it but the one complaint i have is that it gives my hand cramps after an hour or so of use. I am looking for a new mouse that wont give me cramps but that will still be good in games and not lag or jump or skip. Iv heard that the new wireless arnt as bad at skipping. I was thinking about getting this one.


Logitech MX 620

I like it because it looks like it would be comfterable, and i also like that it can switch to the click-to-click scrolling, better for games =).

I recently tried out the Microsoft Natural Wireless 6000 Mouse and it was a little too "natural" for me.

Let me know what you think about the mx620. thanks =)
 
If you're not completely set on wireless mice, I would highly recommend the Steel Series Ikari Laser Mouse. If you look around, you can find it for ~$50 and I think it's worth every penny. Of course, It has a lot of bells and whistles like macro support and driverless profiles that can or can be a good thing depending on your taste.
 
Going with the razor deathadder reduced a lot of stress I developed from using a small wireless.

Before I got it I tried gripping various mice including ones with similar contours to the MX and they didn't feel so good.

If you're a lefty then go for the razor lachesis which has the same design considerations but is ambidextrous instead being biased to righties.
 
+1 for the MX518. Works wonderfully.

Had some problems with SP3 though, wouldn't work worth a damn in SP3. Not sure if this is a wide spread problem though as I have only seen a select few have this problem. Works like a charm on SP2.

Dunno much about FPS Games mine worked awesome for my Recently Ended WoWCRAAAACK addiction.
 
Alright so i think iv narrowed it down to the Mx Revolution and the MX 1100, which would you rather have? I think the extra scroller on the mx revolution is a bit weird any thoughts? Gamers?
 
Dude I still think the MX518 is the best gaming mouse ever. They are still available. I prefer I wired mouse, the cord does not bother me and they are heavier and just feel kind of wierd. I used to use a logitech wireless, I liked it, but when it broke i went 510, then 518.
My friend has the G5 its nice too. But more expensive than the 518 and offering no improvements in my eyes! If the price is the same I guess it doesnt matter!

Cool guess I am not the only one! The Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 was my prior favorite mouse I might add. I still use it as my backup and for any laptops I happen to be using.
 
Heh, I'm still using regular MS Intellimouse 3.0 opticals. :eek: I tried the MX518 when I built a buddy's comp, and really liked it, but not enough to shell out $30, lol. I've also tried the other logitech mice, but again, haven't liked anything enough to shell out more money since my MS mice were free (got like 5 of 'em, lol). :D Mice are highly subjective, so I just wanted to throw my experience out there. ;)

Currently using a G5,

But I was looking to try the new Microsoft Sidewinder X8 with bluetrack it seems like a very nice mouse,

As for the Logitech revolution Bluetooth, I've got a lot of friends using that one and to cut down the lag to praticly nothing we've found that you could use a high powered bluetooth receiver like the Trendnet TBW-102UB, that's worth about 20$ online
