Out of Pod Experience

Hey gents.

I been playing with the razer lachesis for just over a year now but its just started developing the good ol' razer double click bug (always goes down well in fleets where you doubleclick manual fly 90km away without noticing).

Previously had a razer diamondback which lasted 4 years and my little brother has now used for about 2 years and its still going strong so I've decided i want another durable mouse which will last for bloody ever. Anyone got any suggestions for long lasting durable mice? Preferably with a decent sensitivity (~3500 dpi). Im a bit skeptical about getting another razer mouse since aparently the double click issue im getting with my lachesis is rampant among all the new models.

Cheers
Alec

Been using a Ligitech G5 for a few years now. May be a bit basic with only 3 buttons + clickable wheel, but with an adjustable weight panel and fully adjustable sensitivity with 3 pre-set sensitivity settings that you can swap to on-the-fly with the sensitivity adjuster buttons, you can get it working juuust the way you want.

I don't think the double click issue is something you can avoid no matter what mouse you buy. It's just luck how long your mouse will last before it develops an issue. I've had to buy 2 mice in the last 4 years, both logitech both identical. First one developed the double click issue at the end of the first year, the second has worked fine for nearly 3 years. Just buy something you're comfortable using and be prepared to buy a new one every few years.

this or a G9x.

I'm running a G9x at home, along with a G15 Rev2 keyboard. Awesome mouse, adjustable weight, plenty of functions, sweet accuracy.

I'm also running a Razer Tarantula keyboard at the office, paired with a Razer DeathAdder mouse, and they're both sweet too. The DeathAdder is a little light for my tastes in terms of a mouse, but it's very accurate.

Playing with a Rat 7 now... Taking bits off and putting back together again :D.

Can't wait to get home

I have a Razer naga and i perfer it for having the number on the mouse i key bind my modules to it and use a g13 game pad for all other commands

I had a R.A.T. 7 for a long time, but it constantly gave me trouble. This seems to be a problem will all of them, as I've exchanged it three times and the problem never went away: The cursor sometimes moves even though the mouse clearly doesn't. How much and how often depends on the surface to some degree, but considering it's a high-end gaming laser mouse, that's very much unacceptable. The movement is only a few pixels, but it's enough to occasionally miss a button, selecting a line of text in the browser instead of clicking a link or shooting just over someones head instead of right through it in any FPS. Most times it moves when clicking a button, but occasionally it keeps on moving even without a hand on the mouse. No, the sensor is clear. Yes, I've tried EVERYTHING (whole ordeal went on for weeks).

I've exchanged it for a much cheaper Logitech G500 (about half the price), and it even feels much more precise. It has a very rough surface, which I like, but I can imagine it to be uncomfortable for some. In any case, I can highly recommend it! I have used it for about two months now, and I don't have a single complaint :)

Most any trackball. Works fine for EVE, especially in long sessions where a mouse can cause carpal tunnel syndrome. No pain with a trackball, no fatigue, going all day long. Works especially well with twitch games like shooters, easily double my frag rate compared to using a mouse. Not sure about the thumb control models, but the center ball models are just deadly. I'd say kensington or logitech. Used kensington for years, easy to repair, outlasted any of my old mice, but I'm liking my new logitech, less issues with routine maintenance. Cord or cordless, it doesn't matter since it doesn't move apart from moving from desktop to armchair or wherever. Mice are for cats.

lol yeah terrible being on the receiving end that is. Consistent top three in 64 slot shooter with avg ping says it all to me. That's 20 to 1 ratio on global leader board tracking. A mouse is a hindrance, moving a wrist and hand is far slower than index and middle finger.
