razors deathadder works great for me, i prefer corded because they are lighter, the new version too has the juicy 6400 dpi

very comfortable simple shape and braided cord will buy another one when the one i have gets muadrageowned



I have 2 deathadders. 1 for the Mac and 1 for the PC. 2 extra buttons are enough. Doesn't work well with crappy mouse pads. I use a giant rocketfish gaming pad only $14 at bestbuy. I believe the new deathadders are around $30 cheaper than what I paid.


I have a logitech. Don't know which model($35 model) worked good for a year or two, comfortible. One day it just started cutting out. All my mice are corded.

Do not assume anything above this line was typed by me. Nerf the Truth, it's inconvenient.

Looking to buy a new mouse for eve with some programmable buttons, at the moment I use a Logitech wireless m705 mouse, it is absolutely fine however it does not really have any buttons to program. I like Logitech gear and was thinking of the Logitech g700 has anyone got any eve experience with this mouse?

thanks

Had an old style MX Revolution, lost the charger in moving (well, I have an idea where it is, but :effort: and a touchy battery). The new one isn't as nice (they replaced teh thumbwheel with another button).

Running with another one of theirs (forget what it's called atm), fewer buttons (7-10 programmable) and no thumbwheel... but enough for eve.

That has to be the best mouse they ever made. I especially miss the feature where if you spin the wheel fast enough, a motor will automatically unlock the ratchet mechanism and let it freewheel. All their new mice just have some stupid button that always gets jammed. Not sure why the replaced it, mine turned out to be more robust than the charging mechanism.

I replaced mine with a g700. it's not bad, the extra buttons are nice, and it's portable between computers somewhat by being able to store binds in memory and having a slot in the battery compartment for the receiver, but it always seems a bit finicky, and I miss the thumb-wheel a bit (I am a button *****, so my ideal mouse would have the four thumb buttons PLUS the thumb wheel and extra finger buttons)


Definitely, I was a button whore with the Rev. And in a totally unrelated incident, I found the charger when looking for something else just now.

+1 for the Logitech smart sense ratchet thing -- though I had one that I had to RMA because it got stuck in ratchet mode.

Only downside is that the battery isn't user-replaceable ... though the mouse is out of warranty already, so nothing to void there! Twisted

One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia

I use a Cyborg R.A.T 9. Super comfortable, interchangeable palm rest, and pinky rest. High profile, low profile, smooth or grippy. Weights.
Rather expensive at $136 but the RAT 7 is around $100 but it's worth it and will last longer than any Razer product. Razers build quality leaves much to be desired (touch and go). I really don't understand all the love for their products.
