help picking a mouse for g73

Looking for a mouse but stuck between one of the these two, help please.

Logitech g500
CompUSA.com | 910-001259 | Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse

or

Razer Imperator
CompUSA.com | RZ01-00350100-R3U1 | Razer Imperator Ergonomic Laser Gaming Mouse

 

I would go for the Razer, as it looks nicer for me (and fits to the G73 ;] )

As for performance, both mice are very similar looking at the specs. Razer has little more DPI, but that's often miselading, as most of the time you don't use that high DPI anyway (I'm guessing its primary use will be gaming).

If the adjustable weight of the mouse is important for you then then Logitech might be a better choice, plus you can pend $16 on some mat (eg: Razer Goliathus)

 

ah cool thanks i was leaning towards the g500 after i learned that the razer in question reported has been coming with some "z-axis" issues. prolly its fits the g73 a little bit too much lol

but yes i really like your second option.

 

LogiTech MX518. It's cheap. Durable. Accurate. Comfortable.

 

I have Logitech G500 and G5. Both are very nice mice.
The only complain I have is that the wheel on G500 is little bit too sensitive. It has a switchable Hyper-fast scrolling wheel. Even when the Hyper-fast scrolling is not switched ON the wheel is very sensitive.
In the beginning I always had problems with weapon switching in the games like COD, but after some time I got used to it.
The trick is that one has to do a very slow rotation otherwise you pick up the wrong weapon all the time.
In this regard the G5 is better. The wheel is very sturdy.

 

well i do play cod a lot so that is some good info. ok mainly for games i would be player racers, fps and rpg/strategy based games.

graphic and development wise i am looking at photoshop, blender, visual c++ (scrolling through code), flash apps, etc. hence my interest in switchable dpi and laser tracker.

but i am either blind (compusa where i most likely be going to) or something but i dont see the g5 on their site i will check again to make sure, i will check over the mx518. thanks again for the help

 

Happy G500 owner here, for my desktop. For the G73 I use the Performance MX Darkfield mouse.

 

well tomorrow is the big day decided to go with g500 and razer mouse pad combo. thanks for all the help guy(s) and girl(s) lol

 

I am using Cooler Master Sentinel. Very happy.

 

cool. well i'll be seeing yall in cod:black ops now that dedicated servers are coming back

edit: lol everything i have picked out for the laptop except the mouse is black. i really need to stop this trend of always ending up with black things lol maybe this mouse is the start of new things

 

Between the 2, I'd go with the Razer Imperator.

 

ah cool, why is that david?

 

Have you looked into the G9x? I've really liked some of the MX series in the past but I absolutely love my G9x... 5000 dpi, custom LED colors, very comfortable and somewhat angular, suits the G73 really well imo.

If I had to choose between the two you posted, I'd probably go with the razer

 

oooo...was going through all the mice and came across this one.

CompUSA.com | 3HA-00001 | Microsoft 3HA-00001 SideWinder X8 Mouse

 

I don't use anything fancy. It's a Microsoft IntelliMouse. Gets the job done at a good price.

 

oh that was the first mouse my brother bought...its lasting amazingly long and still works very well, he has had it for 7+ years.

edit: the button placement was what i loved the most about it, more mice need to be made as comfortable and long lasting as that one

 

I have the G5 and love it. I like long mice.

(so G500 i'd say) I don't know how long the imperator is

 

Well, I'm assuming you're choosing an external mouse for gaming, in which case, the specs are slightly better on the Razer. A trade off of 100 DPI for a 20G gain in acceleration and 35"/second seems like a good deal in my books.

 

I'm with the guy who recommended the MX518, that is a classic and great gaming mouse.

At the moment i'm using an OCZ Equalaser which is even cheaper but just as good, and more sensitive with DPI

I can also say Razer makes high quality products. I have a Razer keyboard and never knew what a difference there was in keyboard quality until I got one. Once you get any of those, you'll never have to get another one again... unless you break it.

 

i use LogiTech G9 great gaming mouse and my stock mouse fromasus is still in the box lol

 

I use the venerable MX518. Super-super durable and splendid performance. And definitely matches the all black G73.

So good I even got my mum one. True story.

 

my Asus g73 came with a gaming mouse included

 

anyone use this mouse? Is it any good?

V470 Cordless Laser Mouse for Bluetooth®

 

If you like 800dpi mice

 

people are exaggerating the dpi. it's all a gimmick like the megapixels m the ghz and the bits (people still don't understand that more ghz or more megapixels does not make a processor/camera better, but if they think they do they all buy it)
