Need a new mouse

Re: Need a new mouse

I've just changed to a corsair m45 from a mx revolution as that lagged too much in games. The m45 is very nice, but it was on offer for about £22 at the time. Not sure what the prices are now though.

My mistake, mine is the M40 and not M45. I'm happy with it, and for that price I couldn't find anything better.

I use the 2nd dpi setting for desktop stuff, then drop down to the 1st setting for games and it suits me fine. Nice not to have any lag now.

It's strange how much you get used to a mouse, so when you change over they take quite a bit of getting used to.

Re: Need a new mouse

I still have my RAT 7... I was going to have to ditch it the other month as the 'feet' had gone all manky, but it turns out that Saitek sell replacement feet so all is good

If it does pack up completely I must admit I would replace it with another RAT 7 or 9...

I took me ages to find a mouse I like so I'm going to stick with it now.

Re: Need a new mouse

I bought the Logitech G700s, I cannot believe I spent that kind of cash on a mouse,

But it is customisable and you can even set DPI

Bit late to the party :p but I'm looking for a reasonably cheap wired 5 button (or more) mouse with 3200dpi or higher as a replacement to my aging razor diamondback that I have had for at least 12 years.

TIA

Have a look at the Logitech g600 if you are after extra buttons. Been using one for the past couple of months after coming from an old g500 and it's been fantastic. Took me a couple of weeks to get used to all the thumb buttons but once i did it was well worth it.

Re: Need a new mouse

Indeed, £50 over 12 years is 35p a month. Although admittedly my Logitech G500 only lasted 4 years.
