eggzs Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Hi all, well, I think its time for a new mouse as my current el cheapo OEM Logitech RX300 doesnt cut it any more mainly because I want some extra keys on my mouse for extra key binds and the like. Also I find the sound it makes is too loud for my taste especially the middle mouse button. Looking for a gaming mouse <$100 NZD so here are my options Razer Diamondback 3G Razer Deathadder Logitech G5 Logitech MX518 And other suggestions welcome. Don't live in N. America so can't use New Egg or any other N.A. stores as shipping could be at a price.

sloter Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have the G5 and i like it alot. They make one like the G5 that is called the G7 the only difference is that it is wireless. I don't know how good it it but, i suppose if you wanted you could look at it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6826104203 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidi Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I have the Deathadder. Good all round mouse, can't say there's anything wrong with it apart from the MOUSE1 and MOUSE2 (right and left click) make quite a noticble *click* noise when pressed.

JoeDaStudd Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 I own a G5 rv2 and love it. The adjustable weights let you customise the mouse and the dpi changer helps with some games.

Bauke Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 Well, all of your suggestions are pretty good. Personally I'd get the MX518, but that's just me. It fits my hand just fine so that's my reason for picking it. You should try them somewhere to see what fits yours best.

Orpheus Posted October 6, 2008 Share Posted October 6, 2008 The MX518 serves my purposes nicely. 8 buttons to screw around with, although I'd leave the 2 dpi-switch buttons alone. It's perfect at 400DPI for CSS, and knock it up for stuff like Unreal Tournament. I was going to eat hot dogs for dinner tonight. I think I will settle for cereal.

eggzs Posted October 6, 2008 Author Share Posted October 6, 2008 I've heard some good reviews for the MX518 and it is pretty cheap but I'm not a great fan of the colour scheme and the colour of the V1 G5. Currently have my eyes set on the 2007 G5 http://www.playtech.co.nz/product.php?a ... il&id=5510 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure errdoth can tell you if he likes his. This is true. It's an excellent mouse. (though I can't play on any other mouse now because the G5 has those little weights that come with it, and mine is really heavy compared to a normal mouse :P ) Last.fm Signature Overlays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamong Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I can vouch for the Razer Deathadder. I have one and I love it. Very comfy and looks great, as well as been a great mouse to use. [Tip.It Mod][Retired][Add your Steam name here!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nadril Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 My roomate has a G5 and it seems great. I'm still using a 7 year old MX518 currently though and it still works great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldJoe Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've got a Saitek GM3200 (laser). Works great and only cost me 30 euros. It also has 5 remove-able weights, dpi settings.. etc. Unfortuantly, i think they've stopped selling it (bought mine in february this year). Before spending the money, i'd try getting hold of some measures of the mouse, so it's not too small or too high etc for your hand. J'adore aussi le sexe et les snuff moviesJe trouve que ce sont des purs moments de vieJe ne me reconnais plus dans les gensJe suis juste un cas désespérantEt comme personne ne viendra me réclamerJe terminerai comme un objet retrouvé Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eggzs Posted October 7, 2008 Author Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've got the measures all sorted out and I've used G5's (old version) at internet cafe, a friends 2007 version and also a copperhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deathmath Posted October 26, 2008 Share Posted October 26, 2008 I have a 5 dollar mouse. I might want to consider getting a decent mouse :? Those mice all got good reviews, and I hope you enjoy your purchase. Thoroughly retired, may still write now and again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
