Need a new gaming mouse!

[imWREK]

Hi! I need to buy myself a new gaming mouse at the end of this month but i'm a little unsure of which one to choose, I have pretty big hands and want something that my hands can rest on. Been thinking about the QPAD 5K or 8K, do any of you guys have any suggestions or recommendations for me? Not a big fan of Razer mice!

[eQuiitox]

Im using this atm, fits really good in my big hands.. Had one earlier model, Naos 5000 and its almost the same mouse.. so ive been using this mouse model for years now.

Cool! Thank you, I will add it to my list and check it out in the store before I make a decision!

Ill be honest. There can be loads of mouse to choose from do you have a specific gamestyle you play as? Like MMO Games? FPS Games? etc. Also what is your Budget? I currently have the MAD CATZ RAT 9 which is a fairly expensive but worth it mouse. If you are not going for that due to high costs I highly recommend the Roccat series.

I don't have any limit on my budget since it's the only thing I'm missing for my rig to be complete. I play alot of FPS games so there's no need for alot of buttons or customizable options, i need something a little heavy and wide. I'm using a Roccat Lua right now but it is WAY too small and doesn't have any buttons on the side which makes push-to-talk in TS very hard to do.

I've done so much research into this.
I am also looking for a new mouse (If you buy one, please let me know what you go for)

I have been suggested Razer, Roccat, Logitech, Steel Series and Corsair.
I went a tried a bunch of mouses today and I have to say I really liked the feel of the RIVAL 300 from the Steel series (https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-300)
They are also bringing out a new one RIVAL 700 (https://steelseries.com/gaming-mice/rival-700)

I have quite large hands as well and it felt very comfortable. I'm not really sure what I want to go for and might even wait for the RIVAL 700 to get released.

I bought the Corsair M65 RGB when I did my new build; GREAT mouse, the 'Sniper button' is hard to get used to initially, but once you get used to it its extremely helpful(I use it for more than just steady scope/sniping, tanks, etc).

wow the NAOS 8200 looks really nice.

I've been using the Razer Mamba (Ver. 1.0) for a while now. 3 years or so... I liked it a lot, but now that the 2.0 chroma version is out (where you can change the LED lights and stuff) I'm feeling left behind.

Mamba is great construction. Still works and likely has another 10 years of use on it... but my only gripe are my fat and heavy fingers. You see, the buttons are super sensitive, so often I'm mis-clicking. lol Putting up with this for 3 years... why have I done it? haha

Still a great mouse, but I think Deathadder might be better.

Gonna look at this NAOS mouse tho! :DD

+1 for the M65, was a massive upgrade from the Logitech G9x I was using, TONS of customization options and feels great with the all aluminum body.

Honestly if the M65 came as optical I would be all over that shit, but the hardware acceleration found in laser mice is a pretty big downside imo

Not to say that ALL acceleration is bad, but it's much better to use more stable and less permanent software acceleration, many games have their own acceleration settings you can use anyway


Im in the market for a new mouse myself now, and I'm thinking the Corsair Sabre or the G502 Proteus Spectrum

That QPAD 8k optical is tempting tho...

[Odiua]

If you play FPS games get the Final Mouse and if you play MMO's get a Razer Naga, if youre more of a variety gamer the Razer Deathadder should do the trick!

as far as laser vs optical goes, I will say, I never had a problem with my cheapo optical logitech wireless mouse, but just the other night i found that my m65 for some reason would only move diagonally...checked the sensor for dirt/dust/whatever, and nothing. cleaned it anyway, and it fixed the issue, seemingly. Never had that problem with an optical mouse.
That being said, I do perform better in games with the m65 vs my old mouse. but that could just be me getting better, or the simple difference in quality.

I don't like wireless mice or keyboards. They always fail on you at the worst moments. If you want a mouse, I bought myself a Perixx MX-2000IIB three years ago and it is still working as well as the first day. It has an adjustable weight system, DPI switches (I've never used them), a braided cord that never grabs on anything. 2 side buttons and a very tactile scroll wheel. The driver that comes with it is excellent, allows you to set up multiple profiles for different games that you can set up to switch with the DPI switches. It has no acceleration that I can tell, since I disable it in the menu. I bought another for my work computer and it works well too so no QC issues so far. All that for under $30. http://www.amazon.com/Perixx-MX-2000...7RK6ZTPKMFCTRM

I used the G502 for quite some time as my daily driver. I will say that as a gamer with small hands that it took me a long time to be comfortable with the G502. But I was never able to use all the buttons. I recently picked up the Mionix Avior 7000 and I must say that it is an extremely comfortable mouse and after tinkering with the settings in the software that it is performing phenomenonally. It is definitely a lot lighter than the 502 but it's definitely nice for my small hands. Also on the 7000 there is only one button that I can't reach which is awesome. But if you really need something with many buttons you should definitely look into a MMO mouse.

I have gone through so many gaming mice over the years. I just keep going back to MMO mice like the Razer Naga, Logitech's G600 or Corsair's Scimitar. While I prefer Razer, all of those brands are great and will give you what you need from a gaming mouse. Even tho they are labeled "MMO" mice I can find uses for every single button for most games.

I play mostly "FPS MMO's" Like Planetside 2, Battlefield 4 and Warframe. In some cases, the buttons on the side aren't "EXTRA" keybinds. They are just in a better, more usable spot. For example, when I play Planetside 2, 1-6 are used for equipment slots and 7-12 are used for PTT: TS, TS command, in-game prox, in-game squad, platoon and in-game leadership. Normally 7,8,9,0,- and = would go mostly unused on my keyboard and all the PTT keybinds are hard to come by but with these MMO mice its not a problem at all.

It looks like the keys would be hard to push but with some practice it will be second nature to you. Razer's version even comes with training stickers.

Logitech G700 hands down

[FuMbLe]

My recommendation of mice is based off the quality of the mouse and its sensor. These mice are all great and their is a large amount of size variation for you to choose from!

Ergonomic:

Razer Deathadder

Logitech G502

Zowie EC-A

Steelseries Rival

CM Storm Alcor

Ambidextrous:

Zowie FK1, FK2

CM Storm Recon

Mionix Avior 7000

Logitech G100s

Logitech G303

I'll also mention the finalmouse 2016 but it doesnt come out for another couple of weeks.

[PR0L1FIK]

I use the G300s by Logitech. Although its slightly smallish is size, its really comfortable to use and incredibly accurate. And I have kinda long fingers but it works perfectly for me. And it's reasonably priced too!

[LongShot_Zor]

These are some of my favorites.
Logitech G502 Proteus Core
Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury
SteelSeries Sensei

The Steel Series might not be the best for your hands because it's a bit small. The Logitech G502 Proteus Core is incredibly accurate, I would totally recommend for the price if that's what you need is an accurate mouse. The Logitech G402 Hyperion Fury has a very good grip to it and will definitely fit big hands.

[AOD_lanius424]

Another note on the g502 is that logitech is re-releasing it with RGB leds
