I know it's my own personal opinion, but I think the DeathAdder's shape is as close to perfect as you can get with a mouse without plugging the computer into your brain. I would like more buttons, but for the shape I don't think anything beats it. Join the League For Gamers. |

I actually use a basic 9 button logitech g300 series for the mouse. I use a logitech g13 gaming pad. I use my left thumb wiht the joystick to control movement (basically map w,a,s,d to the joystick) and input any macros and skill buttons where ever i want with the buttons lol. The digital display on the top is really cool becaause i can set the screen to show details within the game like hp mp. Works great for me and i only spent 52 dollars on it vs the $100+ like the nice gaming mice. I had a discount code from PW with dropped the price from 79 or so to 53. I really do love this device, very functional and comfortable for my hand!

I use the mouse to the right of my keyboard..... There are times when one must ask themselves is it my passion that truly frightens you? Or your own? |

Raer and logitech get mentioned all the time, and they are good mice but Coolermaster and corsair make some bloody good mice too. The one that always gets recommended and I don't like is Steel Series, they're such a bastard to clean, and with the design of the case its easy to break the thing cleaning the 2 main buttons. Sharkoon are a decent budget make, the thumb buttons are not quite in the right position and the whell isnt that great, but they're a cheap 7 button mouse. Them RAT things look cool, but they look a bit weird for me to handle, whats with all the weird wheels on the side and stuff. |

I've used Microsoft Optical Trackball mouse for years for all types of gaming. I don't even own any other mice hehe. Lube that ball occasionally and it works great! |

G9X - best mouse on the market imo. wheel tilt, 7 other buttons. comfortable. has weights. ridiculous bang for the buck. i came very close to buying the Naga, but then i read about its longevity issue (doesnt seem to last longer than a year without some sort of malfunction), and having owned a Deathadder that broke after 6 months of gentle use, i was basically done with Razer's cheaply-made highly-priced shit |

My Naga has been reasonably reliable (had to take it apart once to spray the contacts with a contact cleaner) but my main issue with it is the fact that the thing is too small. I really wish I'd paid more attention to the reviews on Amazon before I bought it. I can easily reach either the first two columns of buttons or the last two, there's no way to reach all of them without strange contortions that are really uncomfortable. As a result I tend to just use the last column regularly, leaving the other nine buttons unused. A waste but I'm not forming a muscle tearing claw to get at the others... There are also two mysterious extra little buttons at the far end of the mouse which I firmly believe no human could possibly use... |

Originally posted by ShakyMo In the original Cyborg R.A.T. 7 the extra side wheel was used mostly for strafing as the mousing intended audience was/is FPS players, hence the red target button on the side which basically dropped your DPI down to next to nothing for precision shooting/aiming. |

I use the Lachesis right now, and it works splendidly, especially with the two extra buttons in the middle. I've fallen in love with those. Still, I would do unspeakable things for the left-handed Naga they are talking about. I can't stand that there aren't really any decent left-handed mice for my purposes. "There are two great powers, and they've been fighting since time began. Every advance in human life, every scrap of knowledge and wisdom and decency we have has been torn by one side from the teeth of the other. Every little increase in human freedom has been fought over ferociously between those who want us to know more and be wiser and stronger, and those who want us to obey and be humble and submit." — John Parry, to his son Will; "The Subtle Knife," by Phillip Pullman |

Originally posted by Lord.Bachus The reason why most controllers have triggers being used by fingers is because scientifically your fingers are proven to have better reaction time. That's the main reason why top button joysticks basically vanished off of the face of the earth and were replaced with finger press buttons. Trying to rebind all of your keys to a single remote ends up being really inefficient. It's really hard to explain this to people who use the Naga though. They're all convinced it's somehow superior when basic anatomy disagrees. Website: http://www.thegameguru.me / YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/users/thetroublmaker |

I will certainly be considered old school (and in fact I am), but I'm still using a wired normal 3 button optical Microsoft mouse... and I never had a problem playing any game, MMO or other. Wired because I don't want to be bothered with changing/reloading batteries and the wire never annoyed me anyway. And I do most actions with a (properly configured) totally standard Microsoft keyboard too... no macros... go figure :)
