Which mouse should I buy?

I cannot decided between the Logitech G5 laser mouse or the Microsoft Sidewinder...

I'm so indecisive.

Which product performs better?

 

i like the sidewinder better. i find it more comfortable. but just get the one that is more comfortable for you.

 

lol I want both...

Grrrrrrrr I don't have $200 though....

Computers are like crack... Computer-heads?

 

It really depends on how you hold your mouse. Everyone is unique, but there are 2 main styles.

FTaW, you plant you wrist on the desk and move the mouse around with
your fingertips (FTaW=fingertip and wrist) I am a FtaW guy

PaA, you hold the mouse in the palm of your hand and move the mouse
around with a compitation of your elbow, wrist, and sholder (PaA=palm
and arm)

The microsoft sidewinder is only good for PaA people, it's very uncomfortable if your fall into the FTaW croud.

The Logitech G5 is more versital it's comfortable for FTaW and PaA people. I have never used the G5 either, but I use a mx518 as a backup, it's just an optical verision of the G5. It's quite comfortable, I used it as my primary mouse for a long time. The G5 is also one of the most popular gaming mice of all time. I would get the G5 if I was you

 

check out razor copperhead? Go to razorzone.com. There are nice gaming mice here, but you can't go wrong with the G5 though.

get a g5. I love mine. It has such a nice shape to it. Really comfortable.

 

Get an MX518. I prefer the feel of it and the mouse wheel is easier to press down for things like opening tabs in Firefox. Also, it was both forward and backward side button rather than the one the G5 and 7 have. You can easily find 518s for around $30-40 or so.

 

if we are talking about feel then no one can beat DeathAdder... the most comfortable gaming mouse...it has been designed in such A way that it dissipates the sweat fast so u dont lose grip

 

oh dear, nocturnal giving his daily plug........

my question is where does it dissipate the sweat.

 

well its tried n tested... i tried MX518 also but it has sweat issues... Deathadders surface is made of rubberised material..it absorbs & dissipates sweat ...

U have any doubt?

 

well i never had a problem with sweat on the mx518, the diamondback or the sidewinder.............only with cheap crap ones.

 

you can't go wrong with either Razer DeathAdder or Logitech G5 provided that you're a right hander. i like DeathAdder cuz is nice and soft.

 

I have a logitech G5 on my desktop and I love it. I just ordered another one for my new laptop on amazon for 48$ shipped with free shipping.

 

I too have a DeathAdder, and I am glad I have it

 

I use a DeathAdder too and am happy with it

 

I use a G5. It'll eat the DeathAdder for breakfast any day The G5 is already a little on the small side, which means some amount of discomfort; the DeathAdder is smaller still.

If you've got regular-sized hands, I think the G5 will provide a more comfortable experience. Or it might not. -shrug- Try them out first?

 

I have a G5 and the only thing I don't like about it is the design....but hey

 

Why no Sidewinder lovers?? It got predominately great reviews online....

 

Which reviews would those be? I'v only herd so-so reviews at best. I've personally used the Sidewinder and its bloody awful. You can't even use all the thumb buttons. It's better than a toutchpad, but not by much.

 

I like the Kensington "Slimblade" mice. They are very durable and work great. I have one and its very confortable.

 

I recommend the Logitech G9, I love mine!

 

G9 looks fugly!

What about the Logitech G7? Best mouse I've ever used. Plus its wireless. Has 2 rechargable batteries included with a USB recharging station. Its a laser mouse, looks awesome, and has a nice textured rubber feel to it. The black looks badass. Love not having wires cluttering my desk, plus it performs flawless in all my gaming needs!

 

Is a wireless mouse responsive enough for gaming though?? Thats always been the reason why I havent gone for one...

 

Who cares about looks, it works better than any other mouse I've tried, and I've tried many of the good gaming mice. I like the way it looks; very high tech.

I tried wireless gaming mice and found them to have some measure of lag, and this was unacceptable, that's why the best mice are hard wired.

 

No, not for me.

 

I am a "Wrist on the table" mouser. I have maybe a little smaller than average hands. I had an MX518 which is just like the G5 but optical and corded. Felt very good I liked it. But I "upgraded" to a Deathadder about 8 months ago and it is sweet for gaming. My only complaint is DPI switching is cumbersome (no on the fly like the MX518). I wouldn't recommend cordless for gaming. Just my personal opinion.

 

Umm..you asked LOL ! All 8's 0r 9's out of 10..go figure lol
