I got a logitech g500 since it's the mx518 + some. I like it enough. But it seems like it's too small for my hands. And I just have medium-ish hands. Not big by any means. I was going to get the Razer mamba but went for the mx518. I'd like to try the mamba before I invest into it.


My laptop ended up coming with a sweet mouse though. It's a rebadged HP voodoo. Same thing just with rubber material instead of that CF look and an Asus light up symbol.


It doesn't have as many features as the G500 but I think I like it better and will use it.

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. Pesky fingerprints

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.

This is the Ideazon Reaper Edge. Exactly the same mouse, it looks like. I use it and it's wonderful (Ideazon one, that is).

E: I posted this way back in the thread, but I have to say again how amazing this kind of mouse is. It fits my hand perfectly, the adjustable DPI is a godsend, and having the thumb buttons set up like they are is great.



Heh, I have the Asus "Republic of Gamers" mouse. I guess this is just a highly rebadged mouse. I think I'd prefer it because it' rubberized (Y'know. Bacon grease and all)

Oooh, that one looks much nicer than mine, the rubber seems like such a logical addition. 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.



It's definitely better all around than any sort of plastic or smooth surface. No grease, fingerprints, etc. Good grip. Feels nice and smooth.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get that mouse? Now that I'm interested, I've been looking at different stores, but both NewEgg and Amazon don't seem to have it. I'm hoping it's not discontinued, but it looks like it might be.

I'm actually not sure how you'd get it. It came with my Asus ROG (Republic of Gamers) G73 JH A-1. I think it only comes with the a-1 model with the backpack and such.

Hey goons, I am trying to find a gaming mouse for myself, the only problem is I'm 6'3 and have pretty large hands. Are there any suggestions for a slightly larger mouse?

I was interested in the G500, but after reading a few reviews they said it may pose problems for larger hands. So, any suggestions?

I have medium-ish hands and I felt the g500 was too small imo

Wow, for 70 bucks that's a steal. I think I paid like 120 for mine and I think it was worth every penny. For anyone looking for an amazing wireless mouse, I'd definitely think about hopping on that deal.

gently caress, I've always wanted one. I like my mouse now, though. But that thing looks sweet. I heard the built quality is pretty crappy considering the price and they have a lot of issues and fall apart. Aside from that, though..

Absolutely not.

Yeah. I already have two mice and want this one. It's the same as the 7 just wireless, right? Is it bluetooth or does it need some wireless usb dongle or something? Is the non-wireless version popular?


Also I got the Razer vespula mouse pad because I wanted something that was big with wrist support. It's not obnoxiously large, has two side, and the wrist support is quite small and unobtrusive. I recommend it.

Yeah, you can switch between the smooth scroll and the notchy scroll. There's a button below the mouse wheel for it.

Yeah I think there's about 3 including the Asus one. They all just have different materials/lighting and such. I think the Asus is the best because of the rubberized surfance. I think one of them was plastic and I'd hate that. Because you know us goons and our greasy hands.

I just got the G400 in. Not sure if I like it. Maybe I have to get used to it but I think I prefer my old mouse. I tried the G500 and didn't like the fit, either. Someone here told me not to try the G400 since it's pretty much the same. Good thing I listened.


I don't really have big hands but I feel like I'd like something that supported the heel of my hand more and wouldn't drag it on the mat. If I raise my hand up too high it just makes my middle finger extend far too much past the scroll wheel.

I need to stop buying mice and just go to a store and try them out.

Anyone have any experiences with anker mouses? They make good electronics.

They have two it seems but I was looking at this one - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CDINUTK/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=24Z76Z0M3YHP8&coliid=I3A6T9D4KI9HD5

It's cheap and seems nice and wide for the way I hold mice. Reviews seem positive. I'm probably going to get it but was just wondering if anyone here has any experience with this particular mouse.



Also, I use this mouse currently which I highly recommend - http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0072G4LB4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=24Z76Z0M3YHP8&coliid=I1ROQ8TH2M113T

It came with my asus laptop and has gone through quite a beating and still works fine. I just want to try something new which is why I'm looking at the anker. That being said if you want a nice and simple gaming mouse definitely look at this one. I prefer the thumb buttons over the way they're regularly set up. It's the same as the one I have but it looks like they increased the DPI.

Thanks for the reply. Seemed it solved a lot of the issues wireless mice before had. Battery, response, etc. It's about $60 now which isn't TOO bad. God knows I wasn't going to fork over the cash for that crazy R.A.T 7 or 9 or whatever it was. My only concern is the feel of the thumb buttons. I feel it's a bit overkill what they have but hey!I use the poo poo out of back/forward, though. How are you liking and using the thumb buttons?

It took a bit of getting used to the location of the forward/back buttons out of the six, but now it's pretty natural. I haven't really gotten in the habit of using the other extra buttons much, but they're nice to have when I do.



Peanut3141 posted:

Not sure I can give a good opinion on the thumb buttons as I don't tend to use them much. Best I can tell you is that I never hit them accidentally, I just tend to forget they're there. For me the feel in the hand is great though.



Thanks for the help. I'm pretty much set on the mouse but was worried about the thumb buttons. Not sure if I'll use anything but back/forward but hey they're there!

Thanks again and hopefully it helps other people curious about the 602


I had no idea about this incremental DPI or w/e borderline :spergin: stuff. I doubt I'd notice a difference. Alas, increments of 250 for me!

Wired only? :(

Was about to order the G602. If the G602 really is more wide and higher arched I may rather have that one. Ive used a G500 and didn't like the feeling/size too much. Felt too narrow and small. I do really like the thumb button layout on the G502 though.

Anyone have any input on the feel of the G500 vs the G502?

Maybe I'll just look for a used G602 now :v:

So the G602 is pretty nice. I was hoping it'd be a bit bigger but it'll work. The ergonomics are good and I like the thumb rest but something feels..off. When I hold it completely comfortably then I can't reach the mousewheel. Either way I'm going to keep using it. The side buttons are a bit hard to distinguish. Using max DPI and I feel I could go a bit higher but it works.


I got the DPI buttons to page up/down and side buttons to back/forward, home, end, alt-f4, and F5 for refresh. Pretty sweet.

Eh, it’s just a fancy non-gaming wireless mouse with surface “aesthetics,” whatever that means. I just noticed there was a wireless keyboard (newer Logitech k830) that had Bluetooth and a unifying dongle. I assumed the dongle plugged in somewhere on the keyboard for storage like how they usually plug into the bottom of a mouse but after digging I guess not
