Need 3 Accessories

Wireless GAMING Mouse - High DPI, responsive sensor, etc. Under $100

Messenger Bag or Laptop Bag for M17x R3 - Durable, decently padded and able to hold laptop + charger + mouse and a few cables minimum. Under $120

Cooler - No real requirements.. Must fit m17x R3 and move decent amounts of air while being relatively quiet (30-40db absolute max I guess?)

Any suggestions? I'm completely clueless as to what to do.

 

Logitech g700 is a great wireless gaming mouse. It has high DPI settings, 1ms response time, multiple programmable buttons. The major downside is that the battery life is poor, about 2 days, although you can charge it via a simple micro usb cable and use it at the same time. Amazon has it for $88 right now.

AW Messenger Bag
The U3 seems to be popular with other AW users

 

Thanks guys, I was looking at the AW messenger bag anyway and both mouse suggestions are great. I'll look more into it tomorrow and who knows? Maybe I'll find a deal or something posted from Newegg

 

Logitech G700 for the mouse. 5700dpi sensor, up to 1000Hz / 1ms USB polling rate, lots of buttons with great software to program it, all profiles / settings / macros get stored using onboard memory, rechargeable via USB cable, and operates at full performance in either USB or wireless mode.


Roccat Kone[+] also rates highly among people that have used it. The one major drawback with that mouse is that it is hard to find if you live in the US. Meanwhile, the Logitech G700 is everywhere.

 

Get the G700. Best mouse I have ever used.

 

If you can find the Razer Mamba for under $100, I highly recommend it. It's extremely comfortable, 5,600 DPI and 1ms response time in wired or wireless mode. It's normally $130, but I got mine for $75 on sale.

 

I believe the Razer Mamba can only be recharged via its docking station so that might be inconvenient to you.

 

And it has a docking station...lol. Whereas the G700 has a tiny receiver. To each their own, though. If you can find the mamba for significantly cheaper, then I would say go for it.

 

I'm just saying that so that they know that you can't use the Mamba while it's charging or the docking station could affect its portability, it may be inconvenient for someone so I figured I'd put it out there.

 

I gotcha. I was making the statement that it may not be very enticing to have to have a dock for a mouse.

 

Then again the docking station IS ALSO the wireless receiver. Either way, will have to bring it along XD

 

You can definitely use the Mamba while it's charging, you just have to plug the mouse in directly via USB and use it in wired mode. Same as the G700.

Yes, the charging cradle/transmitter is necessary to use the mouse in wireless mode. It's really not as big of a deal as some people seem to think; it's roughly half the size of the mouse itself, and the cord is detachable and can be rolled up. Basically, if you have enough room to carry the mouse in your bag or whatever, you probably have enough room for the dock too.

 

In all fairness, the Razer Mamba is significantly less portable than the Logitech G700. The Mamba is fine as a desktop mouse, but the large docking station really kills its use as a portable laptop mouse. This is especially true if you aren't using a backpack, and are using a laptop bag that carries things "flat" (e.g. messenger bag, portfolio bag, briefcase, etc).

This:


is far less portable than this:

 

Point noted for. But if you can find it for under $100, that would be the deal breaker I'd say~

 

Oh, that's cool, apparently I didn't read the feature list too closely.

 

For backpacks Slappa makes a decent line, not sure if it'll fit your beast though.

 

Not arguing that point. The G700's transmitter is certainly more portable than the Mamba's dock. I'm just pointing out that the dock can still be carried around easily. It's not a cinder block, which many people seem to be confused about.

The dock is also a lot lighter than it looks. Certainly way lighter than the mouse itself.
