I should be a poet :p

I'm looking for a new mouse......for my house :rolleyes:. No seriously i am looking at buying either MX900 or Wireless Intellimouse (Bluetooth) and wondering if anyone here has tested either of these first hand?. If so, are they any good...i used to have a wireless mouse and it was brilliant but are 'these' ones any good?

The MX900 looks quite good because it shows it has a charging bay and it HAS to have a charging bay...i use my PC so much it would run out in a couple days with normal batteries....but then the microsoft one could be the better choice because i currently use (and have been for the past 1 year) a corded microsoft Intellimouse. Opinions please? :)
 
I have a plain-ol intellimouse optical (5 button) and it works great.

I have my doubts about wireless mice :p
 
Thats the mouse i've got, the 5 button white one with silver side buttons and a red showing bit at the back :p but i'm looking for a new one of course ;) well...i don't need it but this ones old and i simply just want to upgrade my pc, even if it is just a mouse :p I can't afford anything else yet and nothing really needs doing except CPU in the next 6 months at least.

That mouse looks scary! lol.

Even still yeah it does sound pretty amazing but a 'tangle free wire' ? wtf...i bet i could tangle it up with my hands if i wanted to tangle it up!. :p
 
http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm/products/details/CA/EN,crid=710,contentid=9043 Is amazing. Laser and not optical. I would reccomend it as it seems to be the best liked mouse around for everything (the razor is more pecise though). The MX 900 should do fine though. I would reccomend it over the MS one because of the scroll wheel. I believe it is the one that has no "clicks" as it is turned making it hard to change to the right weapon in a FPS game.
 
Absolutely what Dr.Devin said. You want to get the MX1000.
It has the best response time of all wireless mice that are currently out, it is a laser mouse which has 20x the precision of optical mice(says Logitech) and the battery life is amazing. The MX900 costs $20 and is not near as good as the MX1000. Buy it off Newegg.com and save yourself a pretty penny.
 
I have both the MX900 and the MX1000. Both are VERY good mice, I would recommend either one. As other people have said, the MX1000 is laser rather than LED optical, which makes it about 20 times more precise/responsive as Logitech claims. I don't notice much difference, since the MX900 is already a very good mouse. Go with either one, depending on your budget, you'll be happy with either.
 
MX1000 for wireless, MX510 wired. PERIOD.

Not necessarily... at all. MX1000 is the best mouse available for wireless, yes... but just like CPUs and so on, you don't have to pay out of the nose to get something that will work really great, still. MX510 is the best for wired, yes... but you could get the MX700, MX900, or MX1000 and still have some of the best gaming mice ever. All of those are way more than responsive enough to get headshots, easily.

Good luck! :thumbs:

The 510 is the wired version of the 700. Don't know much about the 900 though...
 
I have the MX700, recently got it for FREE from my friend, and it has been a great mouse. I never was into wireless figuring it would be terrible compared to wire(response time, weight, dental floss, etc.), but this is a great mouse. This thing comes with a handy-dandy charger, which doesn't work for me because its a bad charger and I can't order a replacement because they are on backorder. :( It takes regular AA's just perfect and seems to not waste battery at all. I like it a lot.

Have you ever heard the saying, "Once you go black, you'll never go back."? Well I have one for you, "Once you go wireless, if you go back to wire, I will come hunt you down and do some nasty things to you."

Cheers:cheers:

Amen, brothah... Amen. I am actually using my MX700 and Cordless Elite Desktop right now. I use it all the time for graphics work, and the only mouse that beats its precision is the MX1000 on my gaming machine. And even then, it's hard to tell a difference.

Good luck! :cheers:
 
Microsoft Wireless Optical 2.0 for me :(
 
I have an mx510, mostly because im a gamer on a budget :p and i dont trust non wired-down devices at lans not to go missing... but today i tried out my friends mx900 and it was amazing, same great design but the weight on it seemed perfect to me.
 
Well i ordered the MX1000 just earlier on. After reading a couple reviews of it from well known hardware sites it settled my mind that this mouse is going to rock the socks of my old skool MS intellimouse :D. Only bitch was i was 30minutes to slow getting home from work so i missed the 4:30 deadline for business post :( its coming on Wednesday now!.

New thumb-button controls
Universal page forward and back, plus an application switch that quickly moves between open windows

Could that be the button to end all being caught on the pr0n sites? :LOL:. This mouse really will rock! :cheese:
 
Well i got it a couple days ago and its an amazing mouse, really happy with it and it just completely owns my old microsoft intellimouse in everything.
 
it takes a pussy to find a mx1000 too heavy. how can a god-damned mouse be too heavy. it's other mice that are too light and girlish :)

EH i just read further up and realized you already bought a mouse. someone close this thread please

I have the wired Intellimouse and love it alot.

I used to have the WireLESS and it was just great. The latest versions have highly extended battery life -as per the claim on the box

I would get the one that is more comfortable for your hand - but i hear that the logitec mouse is more accurate..??

Was that really nessesary man? what a way to welcome Woohoo

Why don't you announce to the world that you are a logitec fanboy
 
I'd never heard of razer mice before this thread so obviously i was sceptical of buying one (even if you guys say they are good) but the reviews i've read have all said that the MX1000 is the most accurate and precise mouse money can buy, which is what i was looking for, not to mention its next-gen laser, not old skool' optical :p.

It did feel heavy at first, it also felt weird having side buttons on the same side as each other having used an Intellimouse (corded) for over 1 year but after less than a week it feels as light as a feather, and completely natural having side buttons on the same side as eachother. One thing that instantly made me like it was its grip, as if it was moulded to fit _my_ hand perfectly and that makes it easy to pick up and use and apart from the 2 hours its been on charge it has'nt gone from 3 green bars on the battery down to 2 yet after 5 days. My only gripe with this mouse is the laser tracks further away from the surface than an optical mouse and i kept on picking it up to move it back to my natural position on my desk and the cursor was juddering about but again...i'm become completely used to it and i never do it anymore.

thats because they prolly never heard of razer before. They arent some silly company for mainstream mice, they focus on the small hardcore gaming market providing the most accurate mice you can find on the world

http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/other/display/razer-mice_9.html nice review

the only con-point any reviewer could find are the rocking side buttons and with 1600 DPI this mouse is alot more accurate and precise then your weak MX1000 (mouse for the weak and retarded)

I myself own a Razor boomslang 2000 DPI bought it 2 years ago (they arent selling them anymore), (uses a ball) and there are still no optical mouse that can compete with it to this day. If you want the ultimate I suggest trying to get your hands on a boomslang 2000 DPI. They have their faults but they are the most acurate mice on the planet. on the 2nd place comes the diamondback the most accurate optical mouse. I might switch to them if razer doesnt release their planned Mamba within 2 years time (rumored to be a 3000DPI ball mouce with optical technology to scan the ball itself for movement instead of some really fine gear's and a spring)

How do you know its more accurate than the MX1000? huh? How many other laser mices have you used before now? huh?. Yeah...the same number i've used. One. Only ONE exsists, so please...don't call my mouse shit because you ain't got one to call it shit. Tit.
 
Lazermice rule everything - not so good for twitch games, but massively smooth and accurate
