    Hi everyone,

    Has anyone had any experience with the ozone gaming radon 5k mouse. I have one but it keeps sticking when playing games like SC2 and MW3. I have to shake it to get the cursor to move again. Any help would be good.

    Thanks in advance.

    Does it only have this sticking issue in those games? Does it happen in other games, or in Windows itself? Have you tried it on another computer?

    It's not just those games, it happens in windows too. The problem is also intermittent so I can't find a common process that makes it stick.
    I use it on a steel series 4HD mat so I don't think it's the surface i'm using and
    I haven't tried it on another computer.

    Probably a bad sensor. Can you return it or exchange it?

    unfortunately I bought it in the UK (now in Canada) and it's just over a year old so the warranty is out.
    Think I'll just get a new one. either the logitec G9x or the razer deathadder.

    Can't go wrong with those choices. I'm a big fan of Logitech and Razer products.

    Yeah, I think I'll be going with the deathadder.

    Thank you all for your help

    The DeathAdder is an excellent mouse with a top-notch optical sensor, I think you'll be quite pleased. Sorry to hear about your Radon mouse, but hey, at least you're getting something good out of it. :p
