Mouse recommendation please?

[Parrot of doom]

My Logitech wireless mouse is on its way out. Its a simple one, 2 buttons, wheel in the middle that clicks (and pushes down). The mouse buttons are getting very insensitive to clicks, plus if I push hard enough down on the left (ie when shooting in games), the right clicks as well. Bad design tbh.

Anyhow, can you guys recommend a wireless mouse for me, just 2 buttons and a wheel is fine. Are lasers better than balls? Do I need a special mousemat or something?

I've got no mousemat, just a mouse and a desk

If your looking for a normal mouse, not for gaming, then just look at some on the Logitech site and have a search for lowest price on Google.

Logitech G7 is the best one atm.

Also, the mouse must be able to withstand the pressure of flying at high speed through a plate glass window, and landing on concrete.

Wireless FTL.

^ Aye. I used to have a MS one and it would spaz out randomnly.

Logitech G5. Best on the market. No wireless spazzes. 'Nuff said.

My beef is more with having to replace batteries after a few gaming sessions. Other than that my MIME5 is perfect.

there is no such thing as "spazzes" with this mouse... ever.

G5 > G7

We all need the 1ms difference in speed of wireless and wire(ful)

I'm currently using a Razer Copperhead in combination with a fUnc 1030 Archetype mat, and would highly recommend them both for gaming :smoking: . Although if you want a budget mouse, this probably isn't the one to go for

Agreed. Instead I'm coupling my Copperhead with the Razer eXactMat and it works wonders.

there is no difference actually, look up the THG article on it.

Never had any issues with the 2 wireless mice I've had before. Except when you put a mobile phone next to the receiver, but meh.

That one looks ok, and its pretty cheap as well. I reckon I'll buy that, cheers

Razer Copperhead or Diamondback are the two best mice I've ever touched.

That logitech looks good, nice and cheap for a gamer mouse.

Just picked it up, plugged the rx into a usb port, installed instantly. Unplugged old mouse, jobs a good un

Ok one more question, with my old mouse if I clicked the wheel, a link would open in a new tab in firefox. With this mouse, it comes up with some kind of zoom thing.

How do I get it to open new tabs? I can change what it does, but I don't know how to make it open a new tab on a link.

Just push CTRL+T?

Or maybe you can set it using the software provided.

Ah sorted it, changed its function to other>middle button
