Gaming Mouse - Mostly for DOTA 2

So, I've been using a Microsoft Sidewinder for a few years but the rubber track ball has started to literally disintegrate in my hand. It's gross.

Also, the fact that it only has two side buttons has kind of annoyed me for a while. Anyone have a recommendation for something not too pricey that is similar, has a plastic wheel and at least 3 easy to reach side buttons?

I mostly use the mouse for DOTA 2 so I can deal with 5 buttons in total. No fancy DPI stuff as I never use it.

 

you need to post this > http://forum.notebookreview.com/forums/accessories.17/

 

I own a Razer Naga Hex http://www.razerzone.com/gaming-mice/razer-naga-hex and I recommend it fully. 6 side buttons (Perfect for all DOTA 2 items or spells on one hand) and the mouse itself is well built. It replaced my aging Naga Pro (The 12 button one) - I really only play DotA 2 and it's done quite well.

Not every single one of my posts is dispensing bad advice or a canned response advertising my sig.

 

ok if you want to get into it, explain more.

dispensing bad advice, really. so you decide my post is bad advice pointing the OP to the correct place to ask for advice on a mouse.

the header of the gaming thread where we are posting now says "
Gaming (Software and Graphics Cards)
Talk about games and mobile graphics cards here.

the header of the link i posted in my first post says "
Accessories
Mice, backpacks and other external peripherals forum.

so i am pointing the OP to the correct place to post where he would get more replies instead of stupid of topic posts like ours. sorry i meant yours but then of course i have every right to reply.
i hold my hands up and must say it should have read "you need to post this in the accessories sub thread where you will get more replies" but as i was at work and just typing it out i had an emergency crash call (heart attack) so i just hit post quickly and left my computer to try and help save someones life. think that took priority.

so my sig is advertising is it. in a way yes, and in a way no.
i buy a computer so i show what computer i have which is what a signature is for.
oh look, so do you.

everything else in my sig is to help other forum members ie. monitoring, free burning and nvidia graphics.

so a simple question before we go back on topic is

whats your problem?

 

It's not like it isn't about gaming though. Probably more helpful giving your recommendation than poo pooing in the thread.

OP I'm using a Logitech G502. I absolutely love it. It has 6 buttons on the side. It's not the most hardcore DPI which you've said you don't need.
It is a wireless which may or may not be a deal breaker for you. Having said that it's really kind on batteries.

 

i agree with mrdj, there is a section for this and he was just pointing the op in the right direction.

 

thank you. someone with some common sense at last.

 

threads about mice and other peripherals have always been posted in the accessories section as far back as i can remember (2006). keeps the forums in order.

 

The amount of effort you've gone to trying to be right, might as well just given the OP a few recommendations so he/she could already be on his merry way. That is all.

 

there are literally hundreds of threads there asking exactly the same thing. a cursory view of those (or putting up your own if you even want to) will give you more info than the little bit you shared here.

 

ok, enough of throwing out toys out of our prams. back on track.

i use the logitech G700 which has worked great for me.
13 buttons / 4 side buttons. tilt wheel, usb rf wireless, laser 5700dpi.
