Lemons posted:I have 2 G500s that I've been using for a while now, and have had no problems with either of them. Short question then if you don't mind: One of the features of the mouse is that you can "unhook" the scroll-wheel and let it spin freely. This is done, if I understand it, by pressing the middle mouse button. I have never used a MX Revolution nor G500 with this feature, so this presents to me a bit of a problem. Lets say I want to open a new tab in firefox by pressing the middle mouse button. Will it then automatically go into free-spin? Or is there no middle-mouse "button" to click at all and it's only a scroll wheel?

Lamquin posted:Short question then if you don't mind: Revolution user here, The flywheel stuff is controllable in the logitech software, you can set it to "smart" switching, where it will switch when you give it a flick, otherwise it works like a regular scroll wheel (middle click and all, but it has the stupid left/right scrolling that is sorta annoying). Pretty sure that you can remap it to act any way you want it to, too.

The G500 scroll wheel isn't changed through software at all. It's a mechanical button set a little back from the scroll wheel. The scroll wheel still retains it's mouse3 button functionality.

This is correct, as shown circled in red:  I can attest that this mouse is really great, although the sensitivity buttons are in kind of an odd place.

I'm still using my G5 from forever ago. It's not pretty under the buttons, but it still works flawlessly. Logitech is a quality manufacturer. Would it be worth upgrading if I'm pretty much perfectly happy with my mouse? It is a little gunky though.. ew

I'm still using a logitech MX300 and love it to death. http://www.techwarelabs.com/reviews/peripherals/logitech_mx300/front.JPG Before that I used the Microsoft intellimouse Ps2 with ball. To be honest I preferred the mouse with the ball but I don't miss cleaning it. My advice is to get something that is clean, simple, and feels good in your hand.

I bought the new Logitech Performance Mouse MX today and have to say its crazy good. I’ve owned lots of computer mice in the past couple of years (still have a first edition Razer Boomslang in the original tin box around here) but this one is probably the best I’ve used so far. Tracks 100% flawlessly on my glass table and my polished chrome side-table, allows charging while in use via USB cable and has just the right design/amount of buttons. It feels like a much slimmer and lighter MX1000 without the useless stuff like the second scroll-wheel. fake edit: just visited the razer homepage out of curiousity and found this — what the heck.

Runes to use in league of legends, a Dota clone. Sort of like passive abilities for your hero I think. I must admit I got a leftie Razer DeathAdder last month and it's so comfortable, if you're one of the few of us it's well worth a look.

Medikit posted:I'm still using a logitech MX300 and love it to death. I can't recommend it enough. 800 dpi is good enough for pixel perfection assuming you don't use a very high sens, a 1000 MHz polling rate and doesn't malfunction at higher speeds either. You can remove the weight inside if you want a light mouse. The buttons all work perfectly even after 10 years. Nice grip too. Only complaint is the scroll wheel which has a rather cheap 'click' to it. You can also only reach 800 dpi using the rather outdated intellipoint drivers else you're stuck at 400 dpi. It won't work with the current version.

I think I need to recommend this mouse again. I got the logitech g500 but in the end like this one better. I posted about it on the page before. Simple, comfortable, and cheap. I have the Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) version which is the same except that carbon fiber looking material is rubber and it says Asus and some other minor differences. The rubberized material is probably better, though.

I'm of the opinion spending ridiculous amounts of money on input devices is more cost-efficient than spending ridiculous amounts of money on other computer-related hardware. Things like monitors, keyboards, mice and chairs will provide a better experience in general if you use your system often, so why not splurge on them?

After looking at some nice input hardware myself recently, I'm going to have to agree with you, considering what one can pay for other hardware or software as you said. Of course, that post about that crazy mouse was pretty much all first impressions, past 'ooh it's pretty'. I have since emailed the manufacturer about shipping to Canada. :iamafag:

I recently got a new, generic pad and its just awful. Again touting my love for the G9x. It's just about everything I've always wanted in a claw grip mouse. If the scroll-mode button was on top (like the G500), it would be perfect (for me).  Click here for the full 610x856 image.

It fits my hand perfectly, the adjustable DPI is a godsend, and having the thumb buttons set up like they are is great. The Gasmask fucked around with this message at 16:17 on May 17, 2010 |

dvgrhl posted:I have a Logitech MX Revolution, which I got when my 2 year old MX1000 (I think this was the model) stopped holding a charge. Logitech sent it to me for free since their mice come with a 3 year warranty. I absolutely love it, and will only buy Logitech mice in the future. Quoting the gently caress out of this as it's all true. The MX Revolution is worth every penny of the £60 I paid and I'm only buying Logitech in future. So I guess, yes, buy the $100 mouse. You'll be glad you did.

I think it's close to 10 years old by now and aside from some discoloration of the rubber the pad sits in, it's like the day I got it. It's flat out perfect. I don't think I will ever replace it unless it spontaneously combusts or something.

Tab8715 posted:What's everyone using for a mouse pad? I spent about an hour reading reviews on newegg and settled on this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817114174&cm_sp=MyNewegg-_-RctPur-_-Pst02Descrip I saw the other ridiculously large ones which I guess would be better but I don't have the space and it's for my laptop. It's real flimsly which is nice for packing up and always unrolls perfectly flat. Nice and smooth. The design is pretty cool. It's not the plain black in the photo. At least the one they shipped me.  I also found this which I guess is the hybrid version? Bigger plus accessories or something? I didn't get a plastic tube or anything. http://aphnetworks.com/reviews/xtracpads_hybrid The Gasmask posted:

I moved from the MX1000 to the MX Revolution, and then got a free upgrade to the G9x due to bad wifi interference. The G9x is OK, but I'd switch back to the MX Revo if wifi wasn't an issue. The scroll wheel isn't a hybrid so you need to switch the scroll mode manually on the underside of the mouse... I really don't need this much level of customization.

I took my Razer Mamaba back to best buy today since it was basically falling apart after 6 months. The ribber side grips were starting to peel off, the battery (which I hardly used) was running dry after a couple of hours, and the goddamned wheel was squeaking like mad. Used the credit to get a G500. So far so good, the wheel is exactly like the G9(x), and the 3rd side button isn't annoying like I thought it would be.

Just wondering if anyone else with an MX Revolution can perform rapid flicks downward in an FPS. Can't seem to look straight down fast enough in Portal for challenge 18. Turning mouse sensitivity up to max doesn't seem to help here - I move the mouse down fast and the mouse seems to not even see the fast movement and the movement's not slow enough to register. I did fine with this on an MX 500. Maybe I need an actual mousepad instead of grimey, lovely woodgrain.

Just posting to  about Logitech. Still using the MX1000 I bought at launch (back in, what, mid 2004?). I've gone through two laptops and a desktop between now and when I bought this thing, and it's survived five moves with another impending. My one and only complaint is that it's finicky with being put back on the dock, but once it's on it's on and I usually go a month or so without charging.I basically buy everything from Logitech now. edit: oh yeah one of these, bought it same time as the mouse. vanov fucked around with this message at 22:52 on May 23, 2010 |

Since this style of mouse is probably the same weight all around, does the rubber do anything for you, like better grip or feel or something? If mine ever bites the dust I'll be looking at the same style, and the ASUS looks like it might be it.
