Discussion under PC Peripherals, part of the Hardware Zone category on TechEnclave; Hey guys
I am currently using the Razer Diamond Back Mouse with Razer ExactMat.
I am an avid Counter strike ...
Had a DA, went kaput over a year of usage (middle-button click not recognised and the usual plague haunting the DAs world over - single click getting registered as a double click!). Switched to a MS IE 3.0 and loving it.
MS IE3.0 has the worlds best "worst side" buttons ever ... though its not much in CS, but still i'd never invest in a mice which comes with such a flaw right from the start ..
How do u grip the mouse ??
In any case, according to your budget, u can either go for a Razer DA or a Logitech G5, both having pros and cons of their own. I particularly like the weight cartridge system of the Logitech G5 so i'd recommend that. But eventually everything is down to the way u grip ur mouse ..
Perhaps the user needs to get used to it? I felt the same when I switched from the DA to the IE3 and got used to it over a week's time. Not pretty much a flaw if you ask me!
Lol the Logitech G5 must be a joke after the worst ever MS Habu! But it's more of a user perception as you've rightly said. TEHO!
MX518 is also a wonderful mouse, using it myself for abt 2 years now, without any problems.
design wise the MX518 and G5 are almost the same, only difference is that MX518 is a optical mouse, while the G5 is a laser mouse
as someone said, it depends on the way you grip the mouse. if you rest your palm on the mouse then go for MX518 or G5. if you use your fingers only, then look towards razer.
