Which Mouse Do You Use For Gaming???

i just bought the logitech gaming mouse for $16.50 last night. and it's PHAT. i took it home, booted up the computer without the mouse plugged in yadda yadda... as soon as the screen settled, i noticed that the cursor was moving on the desktop much more fluidly--and that's just updating the drivers to mman 4.0... i put quake in (that's why i bought it anyway), and proceeded to play the deja level. just messing around, not even trying, i beat the board.
just wish it wasn't so fat(really) also, i'm going to have to get used to it.
 
i use a 10 dollar USB micro mouse w/ 3rd scroll button...ball mouse...works nice.
and doesn't look like crap, not to mention the ergonomics are better than the majority
of mice out there...surprisngly cheap - that was canadian too...i noticed those dexxa mice
and incredibly uncomfortable adn poorly desinged...i suggest any high-res USB ball mouse for
a cheap price...logitech is good, but not worth the money in my opinion.

i play cs too - and other fps...and will probably eventually get an optical, when this one goes..
never skipped for me.
 
Logitech Trackman Marble+

After using a trackball I'll never use a mouse again. Easier to use and takes up less desktop.

Logitch Mouseman+ Optical (w/blue led)

I had a first gen Explorer, but it skipped way to much. I got so mad at it I punched it and it... never worked the same after that. Then I got a Mouseman+ (regular ball version) and I loved it, whent he optical came out I bought it, took the original at work. Now if I could only get DSL...
 
I use the Logitech Cordless Mousman, but it's starting to wear out, so I may be getting an optical soon. (But cordless gaming is a wonderfull thing.)
 


<< 3M PMS right now, which is beginning to show warping.. >>


If it has nto warped too much already, you can save it by using 3m glue to stick it to a regular mouse pad.
 
I don't feel like reading everyones previous posts, so not sure if anyone has said this yet. I just bought a MS Optical Explorer, and I am a HUGE FPS fan, I usually play UT, Q3A, and CS. I have not once had a problem with skipping or anything.
 
I think I might give a Logitech Optical a try, maybe it was just my friends MS that skipped. BTW, I do have sensativity about 80%. I don't skip too much in UT or Q3, but I'm not very good at those games anyway hehe. In CS I'm constantly whipping around after killing a guy to check my back, and nothing sucks more then a 20-0 run ending because your mouse skips.

That Logitech gaming mouse someone was talking about, do you mean that wingman gaming mouse? Gray I think with 3 buttons and no scroll ball? I can always pick that up I guess if the optical doesn't work too well. Plus with an optical I don't have to fork over $30 for a Surface 1030 🙂 Thanks for all your input.
 


<< Once you try a Mouseman you will never go back to some cheap replica (including Intellieye Explorer, yes tried that, didnt like it). >>



That is only if you can use them. Thankfully, microsoft is making logitech designed mice and trackballs, just twice the size...I might have a trackball that can fit my hand now! woohoo! 😉
 


<< Intellimouse explorer, with a Mead Fivestar notebook as the mousepad. The cover is kind of plastic-like. Absolutely no skipping, and excellent sensitivity. >>



I second that! best pad around. Only problem is it eventually starts warping. Mine has now gone through almost 3 months 🙂
 
I use the BoomSlang 2000 and I Love it to death...in fact i loved it so much I wrote a little white lie story back to BoomSlang how I work for a Online Gaming site that does hardware reviews and wrote them up a dummy review that glorified the Mouse above all others and they were so happy that I built up the courage to ask them for a demo spare they might have laying around the office, they actually sent me a BRAND NEW ONE in the Cookie Case and ALL!!

2 BoomSlang 2000s!!!........There is no MOUSE that can TOUCH IT....PERIOD.
 
I have 2x MS IntelliMouse Explorers 🙂

I bought my first one a long time ago just when they came out.
And now that I went home to sweden over xmas I forgot my explorer
in england so I had to buy a new mouse when I got here... and I
tried them all, the new logitech mices (optical) and everything
and let's just say that nothing compares to the explorer.

I use an IKEA darkblue mousepad for 5 swedisk kronor (35 pence)
and it works perfectly (I change them every month though 🙂 !
 
ughh... i have tried the boomslang 2k for quite some time and compared it to my Mouseman Optical. While the BS2k is a good mouse, IMHO it cant touch the mouseman optical. I know the boomslang is suppose to be really sensitive and accurate but from MY experience, its not as accurate and doesn't feel as &quot;smooth&quot; as the mouseman. Thats just my opinion though, no flames please... 😛
 
logitech mouses are the best, even the shape of the mouse is far superior and contours your hand better than any microsoft mouse.
