    I am using a Logitech G700 now, love it. Great mouse, one thing of note is that the battery gauge is really conservative. I was able to use the mouse for almost two full days of heavy use before it finally stopped working. I received the low battery warning after about a day of heavy use.

    Two thumbs up from me.

    Roccat Kova, nice and cheap, look like it was designed to go with M15X ( 7 changeable coulours !)

    Have had my DeathAdder for a while now, used it on my last PC and is still going strong on my m15x. Best mouse I've used.

    I'm using the G700 now too, hands down the best mouse I've ever used. Have to agree very strongly with the pros you listed but the cons are a little off. The G700 does use a unifying receiver(I verified it with the logitech rep that gave it to me :D ) but it can't sync with older logitech devices only stuff made recently. The single AA battery could be viewed as a negative thing but as soon as you use it you'll realize that the battery life is pretty dang good especially for being just 1 cell so I would think it would be just a neutral point not good or bad.

    Here an Razer Abyssus, i bought it a few weeks ago but im considering to buy a Razer Naga that i saw in the same store before i return to Mexico in 1 week.

    The experience with the Abyssus is very good right now, but i would like the Naga for MMORPG and SC2. Anybody has experiences with SC2 and this mouse?

    Thanks, I thought is did. I think my issue is with the Setpoint 6.15 software. I had been using my MX Performance and MX Anywhere on one of their unifying receivers (4.80 software) but the G700 receiver did not see the MX Anywhere. However since then I attached the MX Anywhere's receiver and it also didn't detect it. I haven't yet played around further to try and get it working.

    Edit: Might see if I can run Setpoint 6.15 and 4.80 side by side...

    Edit 2: And after much use I have to agree, best mouse I've had :)

    Yes it does change colors. The Roccat Kova has 7 colors all of which found in the m15x color spectrum. ^_^ thanks for liking.

    Used at least 4 different types of gaming mice plus tested them on various mouse pads before deciding on the G700.Won't go to lengths describing it,there are proper reviews out there.
    :)1st one is Orochi from Razer,very nice but lags due bluetooth power saving.
    ;)2nd one is the Razer Mamba,no complaints there,design wise.
    :rolleyes:3rd is the R.A.T 7,fully customisable,but only for specific user.
    :DLastly would be my current G700,texture & feel perfect for my hands.

    Wow I'm so lost now. Juggling between a R.A.T.7 and a Roccat Kova. Seems the Kova is a match made in heaven, along with a SF-19 cooler...

    I use the Logitech Performance Mouse MX. It has the small unifying wireless adapter that barely sticks out of the port. Just plug it in and forget about it.

    Great to use with laptops. And the darkfield tracking is unbeatable imo.

    G500 for my desk as I have all my desk accessories plugged into a usb hub for quick removal and arrival. I use a Razer Deathadder for the road because it fits perfectly in my carrying case.

    Alienware TactX mouse.
    Only to keep a complete look to the system. Plus the TactX performs well for my needs.

    I use the Logitech performance MX. Pretty much like the day after I got it the G700 came out but wow I still like it alot. Battery life is solid, its aesthetically pleasing, I have big hands and even after several hours of use i'm still very comfortable. Also the micro-usb receiver is delightful as I also have one of there keyboards for when I hook it up to the tv so never having to plug/ unplug things is nice. Wireless range is great too.

    My one complaint is I don't understand why they couldn't just use a normal micro-usb cable for charging. The usb port on the mouse is just a tiny bit shorter than most micro-usb cables. Comes with a wall charger and cable so its not too bad but worth mentioning.
