Gaming mice So, after a little less than 8 years of loyal service, my Logitech MX500 is in need of replacement. The only reason is that a while ago, my scroll button (pressing down on the wheel) stopped working and now I can't scroll at all anymore. Bummer. So, time to invest in a new piece of kit. What do I look for in a mouse:
But there are plenty others, such as the G500, which is an evolved MX 500 design. Or go radically different with the G9x. Not entirely sure about the shape, but it could be an improvement. Not sure if it's worth the added price over the G500 & MX 518. What do you guys think? PS: this post was not sponsored by Logitech, so feel free to suggest other stuff. I just liked Logitech for the last 8 years, so they've got some brand loyalty from me, for now. :) |
I use two mice, one for office and for gaming, best of both worlds, and cheaper than finding one that does both. was quite nicely surprised by OCZ Behemoth for FPS gaming. |

the Behemoth is very affordable in my humble opinion, but its design and shape is not comfortable for all games and/or applications; if you can keep your hand on the mouse, it's very good as a gaming mouse, but if you need to lift the mouse and reposition quickly, I found the size/form to be restrictive and less pleasant to work with compared to a cheapo Dell mouse. my findings here: http://www.madshrimps.be/?action=getarticle&articID=955 available for ~€17 in EU |
I'll think about it, but having two mice seems a bit odd. But indeed at 17 euros, it's probably a steal. |
How about the SteelSeries XAI? Its looks very decent, can be programmed with the help of the LCD on the bottom of it, without any driver. |
the XAI looks very nice, but a lot pricier ;-) $90 vs $20 Quote:

The final choice was the Logitech G500. Have had it for some time now and works really well. Only minor annoyance (other than setting the damn thing up, too many choices ;) ) is that the 'forward' & 'back' buttons aren't as natural/good as the old MX500 design. They're more blocky. The rest has been fairly great til now, although I'm still getting used to the many sensitivity presets you can use. |
I wish you lots of frags with the new mouse! |
