I’ve been using a Razer Deathadder Chroma for the past couple of years, but ran into an issue where the glue that holds the rubber piece on the thumb rest was getting hot or something and oozing out around the piece, along with the piece moving.
So I’m curious what mice people are using or recommend these days. To tide me over for the time being I picked up a corsair M65 Pro FPS mouse. It has the ability to adjust dpi on the fly with some buttons right below the mouse wheel, and has a sniper button on the thumb rest side that you can hold to drop dpi down really low for precision while it is pressed. It also has a weight system, so you can adjust the weight of the mouse. I’ll give it some time to see if I’ll just keep using this, but wonder what other people are using these days.
It’s definitely not geared towards gamers but I can’t use anything but the Logitech M570 track ball. Became a convert years ago because of my wife and love them.
I just switched mice my own self. Got a Razer Basilisk. It’s super comfy and it has a sniper clutch, they call it, that lowers the input when you’re using a sniper rifle, and I use it ALL THE TIME now. It’s a fantastic mouse.
I’m also down on Razer. I had a bad experience with one of their mice. Double clicks happening when I single clicked. Downloaded new firmware for the mouse (really) which solved it for a while, only to have it resurface some time later. I think I used it for a total of 1.5 years, which makes it by far my shortest lived mouse.
I have had Razer products across the entire spectrum and never had a problem like that.
This, on the other hand, I’ve had with multiple mice from manufacturers including Razer and Logitech. With Razer it seemed like the mouse was wearing out physically, with Logitech their software reportedly is causing the issue on Windows 10 and hasn’t been fixed.
I’m back to a Deathadder at the moment and liking it. It’s also what PC Gamer recommends, I believe.
I picked up a Logitech G502 after my second SteelSeries Sensei developed double click issues in three years, and it’s okay. It’s hideous and garish and stupid looking, but it clicks shit real good
Agreed 100% with that sentiment. Can’t wait until hardware manufacturers can somehow separate the concepts of gamer and edgy. Or gamer and stupid looking. Or gamer and 12 year old cool.
I’ve been using a Logitech G900 for about a year with no problems. Once you go wireless, it’s hard to go back. I have to plug it in once or twice a week to recharge though, so the wireless charging feature of the G903 would be handy.
Yeah I picked up the wireless charging mat with it. Not cheap. But not having to worry about charging is a major success in my book, and my older mousepad is not up to a more precise task anyway.
I use wireless mice for everything else, there was no way I was going back to wired just for higher dpi options and some added gaming features.
For what it’s worth I’m also updating my headset. I needed an equipment refresh, pretty badly.
I have the Logitech MX Master which is wireless but you can use it plugged in, too. I charge it about once a week. The latest model (2S) I think you only have to recharge once a month or so. It has a button on the bottom that can switch between different computers (up to three) via Bluetooth (one machine can use the dongle), which works surprisingly well for me. It’s basically like having a KVM switch but just the M.
The mouse has a solid feel and the pads on the bottom glide effortlessly on most surfaces. It feels like a premium mouse. Pricey but worth it, IMO. As a gaming mouse it’s fine unless you need a gazillion buttons or 100,000 DPI. It doesn’t have RGB lightning and doesn’t look like a Transformer.
Double-clicks are very common, if the mouse is new means a hardware fault, if old means the switches wore down. It can happen to any manufacturer, and I’ve had it several times with Logitech mice. Logitech just replaced 'em no questions asked.
