Post subject:  Which mouse?
So, I'm thinking of getting a new mouse for purely aesthetic reasons (meh PC doth glow blue from within), although I hear there maybe some upping of pwnage from these new fangled laser mice to be had :)

So whadday'all think to these three then?


Razer Diamondback Plasma 1600dpi, Optical Mouse, USB

Razer Copperhead Tempest Blue, 2000dpi Laser Mouse, USB

Logitech G5 Laser Mouse, USB

P.S. - Anyone know what's so special about the Ltd. Ed. G5? Can't see it myself :?

I have the G5, I like the on the fly dpi changimabob switch and software to customise which applications do what with which button. Although I haven't tweak it yet to get vent to work on the button whilst playing counterstrike.

It is comfortable and smooth. The only thing I dont really like is the mouse wheel, it has a habit of not clicking over properly and you get a situation where a small movement changes stuff but doesnt click over - maybe mines defective??

2000dpi is rediculously hard to ponit and click properly so I think 1600 is a good maximum :D

Ive got the copper head, its a very good mouse

Has the ability to program the buttons on it (of which there are 6!) to do anything you wish, so usefull for games, if you want to quickly change weapon or adjust the resolution of the mouse.

If you do go for this you will find it very sensitive at first, but after a while its an amazing mouse!

Plus it glows blue :)

Got the Diamondback plasma LE as recommended by S019 Firearms, no complaints but it doesn't seem to have made me any more 'leet...

Looks nice on the desk but hacks the wife off cuz every time she uses the PC it's like watching someone trying to catch a hamster one handed.

:lol: :lol:

Sensitivity adjustment buttons are useful and the driver is pretty good. Scroll wheel shines like an arc welding torch at midnight and the buttons fit the hand perfectly.

Nice mouse, must be me that's crap.

:evil:

p.s. I voted Copperhead for resolution only.

Just another after thought, if you look at the shape of the three mice you have selected, the razor's are more traditional shapes, which is better IMO, it means firstly you dont have to adjust to a new shape, and secondly when you use mice at work/where ever they dont feel too different.

You will be in trouble for that comment 3jorn :twisted: :wink:

But back to the topic I would choose either the copperhead or the G5, I don't know anything about the copperhead :oops: . But I do know the G5 comes with weights, for some unbeknown reason to me :lol: , and you can use side buttons to change the mouse sensitivity. I don't know if the copperhead can do this. But if none of the above matters to you... get the one that suits your computer best :)

I prefer the mice with the more ergonomic feel to them. The "traditional" shape can leave you with hand cramp if you use it for long periods and make it difficult to use. I'd have a wireless mouse myself as I cant be doing with wires on a thing thats pretty much constantly moving when in use. I've heard the logitech to be both reliable and consistant to use, so I'd go for that one. However, I myself just have a microsoft wireless internet mouse, does me just fine. Dont perticuarly see the point in spending out £50 on something when I can just confuse the dopey git in staples and get this one for £30 less than it should be :twisted:

I vote copperhead, currently I'm also toying with the idea of upgrading for asthetic reasons.

I currently have an mx1000 but tbh i'm gonna go back to a wired mouse for response times in css. With the wireless theres a bit of lag to get used to with the movements and my tiny brain cant hack it anymore :)
