How many use a gaming mouse?

[Yoster]

Mine is a laser Logi, no features whatsoever, and fancy mice fall to it every time

has anybody used a vertical mouse? i am thinking of getting one of these for better ergonomics (i sometimes have pain in the thumb). http://www.evoluent.com/vm3.html



rave reviews over at amazon.

:O Its the Humpback! Looks strange, but my friend uses a ball mouse for gaming, never heard anybody use one.

I am also considering buying a gaming mouse. I currently use the very lame HP mouse that came with my computer. It freezes every now and then and just does an OK sensitivity. It got me killed a few times but nothing biggy.

I'm using a Razer Deathadder at the moment but, I've had the diamondback and the copperhead. They've all been great and the Deathadder is OK but nothing like the copperhead or diamondback imo. Plus I'm left handed so it kinda leaves the logiteck mice out of my realm of usage. I also have a G15 keyboard that is great for gaming. Sadly the deathadder is built for righthanders so I need to look into getting a new mouse.

i use a wireless mouse, and no problems at all. i personally see no reason for a gaming mouse, especially since i have BF2142 onmy laptop and im always on the go. if you want to see it, here it is:

^^^^ - lol, that mouse on the left has had some usage. The Logitech badge on the back looks like mine - wearing away from over-use!

Wireless mice are a hassle. The wireless part is great but, they have a tendency to freeze up if they leave range and when the battery is low they are useless and glitchy. They are very inconvienent for gaming. The reason I use a mouse like a Razer Copperhead or Deathadder is because I can make small adjustments to cater to my liking. For instance I like my left to right motion to be very fast but my up and down motion to be very unresponsive to my input because I get to shaky when I play and It allows me to aim much better. so I can whip around real fast to shot someone and when I go to aim up and down I'm not gonna have that same fast jerky response if that makes sense. I also like the on-the-fly sensitivity. when I'm assault for instance every thing over all is very sensitive to my input on the mouse. With on the fly I can switch over quickly if I wanna do sniping. For sniping I want my mouse to be unsensitive if that makes sense. I want it to be sensitive enough that I have to lift my mouse once just to get the curser from one side of the screen to the next. That way i'm not all jerky and I can focus on taking out the enemy instead of playing games with my mouse.

Was pretty average with a standard mouse/keyboard. Now using a G5 and G15 and I am a much better player. If I went back to standard mouse/keyboard now I'd probably be able to cope fine, but I did notice a big difference right away after using the new mouse/keyboard.

Thinking about looking at the G9, might get one when I upgrade to a new PC next month, but the G5 is quite sufficient really.

i just dont know how having a better mouse and keyboard is going to help you that much. I have a standard Dell Keyboard that came with my comp and some $60 Razor mouse. I didnt notice any difference between the dell mouse and this new mouse either

the only hardware your going to get thats going to help your performance would be anything that increases/ smooths your framerate or increases your hit detection

i have the mouse on the right except it doesnt look all gay and stuff caus it has blue lights instead

[Kreepy Kitteh =^o.O^=]

i notice the difference between a cheap mouse and a decent gaming mouse.. with the cheapo ones i fond when im turning or aiming its a bit jumpy.. and when going for a more precision shot it seems to be over responsive and seems to over compensate.. as for the keyboard there is no difference at all.. i just like the look of the G-15 its got to be the best looking keyboard there is.. ( the new one)

I don't know what Dell mouse you are using. The ones that came with the computers in my work place are very good 800dpi optical mice. They are better than my crappy HP mouse, which, though with some issues, is still better than all my notebook mice for gaming (400dpi).

If you use mouse like mine which freezes up randomly and, yes, can empty the whole magazine at some instances, then you'd look for better mouse. Also, better ergonomics will do you less damage on your wrist in the future. Especially to people who play at least 3 hours, and sometimes 6 hours, a day.

Same here, I had an MX518 and the black stuff arounf the logo is gone!

I have a Razer lachesis now, and having the beast DPi in the gunship really helps, I recommend to anyone who hasn't got a gaming mouse to get one, makes life a lot easier.

I totally, at first being a septic,but now I am sold as my kill ratio has improved an it is because of the mouse.
