My trusty (up until recently at least) Logitech G5 has developed an intermittent fault that causes it not to register any movement. The buttons still work, I haven't pulled the cable out with my foot.

So new mousey time. I'm looking for a corded gaming mouse, with adjustable sensitivity and crucially one that is comfortable for big hands. Suggestions guys? Thanks.

I bought a cyborg rat a year ago and I have been *very* happy with it - http://www.cyborggaming.com/

I even see they have a MMO version now.. ?

I bought a cheap Genius mouse called XSCROLL. It is still alive after two years without any sign of decay. Compared to mice of the past I had is this a lucky purchase. I had two other mice, from Logitech and Microsoft, but they both broken within a year.

This one is pretty popular


Also check these out

Mouse Option 2


Hope it helps, I really like Option 2 mice, they are reliable, fast and can outlast any kind of damages.

Cheers guys. I think I'll probably go with a cheap logitech one, Jerry is tempting but I can't find a stockist. My PC is getting old and is due for replacement when GTA5 gets released, so I'll probably get a fancy, expensive one then.

I use a QPAD|5K laser gaming mouse, It´s pretty good and it fits all your fingers.

MX500 series is pretty decent, though my G500 is also nice. My ten year old MX500 is still working as intended despite heavy use.

I hated the MX500 compared to the G5 - just no weight to it.

Now using a G500, and, it still is not as good as the G5 - but I have learned to accept it...just about.

MX 500 mouse series are great for general purpose mouse. Are you a gamer? Razer Naga. I dunno about the guy downgraded, but I suppose he isn't much of a gamer. To each of their own I guess :O

Like for example on my Razer Naga ...

1 = drone attack
2 = drone orbit
3 = Drone into dronebay.
4 = overload top
5 = overload mid
6= overload bot
7 = unlock

8=12 is currently undecided. Maybe assign one to undock, open market, mail, etc.
