I'm looking to buy a mouse (wired) to go with my M17x R3, I'm also looking for a decent laptop cooler for the same. The cooler shoudnt be heavy though.
My budget for both of these things is ~$150.
My Location: Ontario, Canada

get a tactx mouse from walmart.com and a cooler master U1 cooler from amazon.com.
-
I have the Roccat Kova [+]. It has customisable lights and the finish on it is exactly the same as the soft touch on the M17x R3. The best cooler is a book propped under the back of the laptop to allow good airflow.

Which one of these three? -

Or should I rather get a laptop stand? :

I bought the Cooler Master Notepal U3 and like it a lot.
Most of the other notebook coolers are annoying because the front edge of an R3 is already high up, so adding more height to the front just hurts my wrist. The Notepal stand/cooler is really low profile in front as you can see from the picture. -
Well those are OK, my suggestions would be these:
Amazon.com: Targus HD3 Gaming Chill Mat for up to 18 Inch Laptops AWE57US (Black): Electronics
Amazon.com: NZXT CRYO LX Aluminum Notebook Cooler 17-Inch to 19-Inch with 120MM Adjustable Fans - Silver (CRYO LX SILVER): Electronics
Amazon.com: Cooler Master Storm SF 19 17" Laptop Cooler with USB 3.0 (SGA-6000-KKYF1): Electronics
Amazon.com: Cooler Master NotePal U3 Notebook Cooler with 3 Fans R9-NBC-8PCK-G: Electronics -
-
Guys, I'm from Canada so only suggest Canadian retailers to buy a laptop cooler/stand from. The shipping cost is going to be a lot if I order from US.

I haven't had the need for a cooler yet, but if I do, I will just prop the back of the notebook up like others have done. -
i got he razer orochi mouse, it really matches up the r3, black stealth color and its touch is really alike the laptop. a bit expensive $80-100~ but really worth it!
and for cooling, i bought this:
Coolermaster Infinite EVO
eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices
since most of the heat in r3 comes from the middle, i believe this should work well. its on its way to my home =) -
for mouse logitech g700.
-
Laptop cooler: Zalman NC2000 - it's in the 4'th year of usage and still runs as new
Mouse: get the Logitech G500 - i love it -
I just got the Razer Naga Molten & the Coolermaster U3
Razer Naga is pretty good.
I also have a g500, g700, sidewinder x8, sidewinder x3 razer orochi and cyborg rat 9.
If you are using your mouse for MMO gaming I'd recommend the Razer Naga, if you are using it for FPS games I'd recommend the g700 or cyborg rat 9
If you are using it for non gaming purposes the MX performance mouse from logitech is fairly good. -
I also recommend the Coolermaster U3.
For mice I'd been using a g700 for ages (I'm a long time fan of Logitech) but had to stop cos it was hurting my wrist. Currently using a Razer Orochi and once you get used to the smaller size it's a damn good mouse. -
i bought thia mouse recently Logitech Performance MX.its the best mouse i used!!!its so good!!
Newegg.com - Logitech Performance Mouse MX
also for notebook cooler buy the cooler master notepal u3!!

I recommend Mionix NAOS 5000. For me it is a good gaming mouse.
For low budget -> Roccat Kova[+].
I also recommend Zalman NC2000 as laptop cooler. -
I went with the G700 which I use wired or wireless. Jumped on it with a 50% off coupon which logitech seems to be throwing around fairly often these past few months.
If you're interested in the coupon sign up to their mailing list and wait.
Fell for the coolermaster SF 19 with the usb 3 and it keeps the laptop very cool.
Plenty of room for the alienware. No sliding or moving. Love the integrated ports. Turned off the lights; but if you like the alienware fx it adds more glitter to your world.
Only possible negative is that it requires an outlet, it's not usb powered (not that I'd expect it to be). It's luggable, not what I'd call portable but I'd not call the alienware portable either.
As always it's preference, especially with input devices. -
I own the cooler master U3.. and makes no difference on my M17x R1. But the good thing about it, is that the laptop fits really well on it. and leave the keyboard in a really nice angle. In my experience, best cooler of all times... Just rise the back of the laptop a few inches and you are done.

I'll add my 2 pennies,
I don't see the mouse recommended that often, but I absolutely love my Cyborg R.A.T 7 mouse. The adjustments to fit my hand and playing style is very nice. It's wired, and very responsive. Granted, I don't have any other gaming mouses under my belt to compare, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it.
For the cooler,
I do agree, simply raising the back of the R3 does a great job. Although, I play with the laptop sitting on my lap 95% of the time and require a cooler for it to sit on, actually prefer it now. I use the generic Targus sold from Best Buy for 40 bucks. it works great. Many, many hours of gaming and not a single overheat from my 580.
Need suggestions for a good mouse and laptop cooler for my M17x
