New gaming mouse

[blade995]

Well I need a new gaming mouse since mine is getting old. There is one problem, I want a very good one (better than my current mx510) and it has to be left and right handed, I don't care if you need to put a face plate (like a new logitech I saw) or you can just use it both ways.

I just use a Logitech LX7 mouse. It feels nice and is cheap and ambidextrous. The problem is it isn't a dedicated gaming mouse, but it works fine for (basic) gaming in my experience. Also, it's pretty good for almost anything else.

Well the biggest problem you'll run into is that most high end mice are made to be used right handed only. The one you mentioned as having replaceable face plates is probably the Logitech G9. Its a brand new, purely gaming mouse. The biggest problem I have with it is that it's wired, which may or may not be a big problem with you. Its predecessor, the Logitech G7 and the G5, its corded counterpart are the predecessors to the G9, and are still top of the line, great mice. Personally, however I would reccomend the Logitech MX revolution. Unlike the others, It is not a dedicated gaming mouse, but one designed for office and graphic design use. Ive read that people have taken it apart and it uses essentially the same laser assembly as the G9. This is the mouse I have, and it also has many other features which are not as useful in a gaming setting, like a second side scroll wheel, but they really come in handy in office/internet applications. Plus, If a concern of yours is making your desk look good. It looks VERY sharp sitting on a desk. All of these mice are Logitech's top of the line successors to the mx510, so they should all serve you well.

Those are all good mices that I have been looking at but they are all right handed. I don't really care if it's wireless or not but if it's wireless then I would like a rechargeable battery.

like I already said, the biggest problem with high end mice is that they are all right handed. Only the middle/low end mice without special shapes are ambidextrous. The MX revolution, however comes with a charging base and has a built in Lithium Ion battery, and the G7 comes with two hot swappable lithium batteries and a charging station for them. The other two are wired, so obviously they don't need batteries.
