New mouse

I need some good suggestions for a new mouse, since mine ( Copperhead) broke ;(

Im thinking about either buying the Speedlink Kudos, MX 518, or a new Copperhead ( though i dont think its still being produced :D )

New suggestions are welcome ,too! Help me out please :D

NOTE: Its the 3rd time that a Copperhead mouse fucked up.. i dont know if its a quality-matter of Razer-mice overall

steelseries xai, mx518
deathadder :S;:S:S;sss
logitech g500 look like g5
deathadder or mx518
DA or G400
for me its logitech all the way.. but since they are usually bigger then the razor mices, i dont know if u like the change. so out of ur list i would go for the mx518.. which only has a porblem with the cable after a while (eventhoug my one is like 3 years old, used for the laptop.. so unplugged and rolled up every day, and still fine) but that can be fixed easily.
what fanatic said
DO NOT BUY MX518!!!
Logitech have stopped producing MX518s which means you won't be able to find a new one or get new one from warranty in a couple of years.

Instead buy Logitech G400. It is a new version of MX518, the shape of it is same as MX518 but it includes 1000hz polling rate more DPI and it has 5 DPI options by default when MX518 have only three. Also there is not software required to use those DPI levels. Just plug and play.
You don't need the software to switch DPI on the MX518 either.

Oh, didn't know that. I always used setpoint myself :P
Parent
u are able to get a mx518 everywhere, there are so fucking much, there will be also enough in like 3-5 yrs
Parent
Of course there is many of them because it is one of the best gaming mouses ever made.
But the fact they have stopped producing them means they'll be out of shops in some years and you have to buy them from e-shops or from your friends or so.

Also, at least in Finland G400 is 40euros while mx518 was 35euros. I gladly pay that 5euros extra to 1000hz.
Parent
25 euros here for mx518
Parent
what's the effect of the hz?
(heard its good, tried to change on my old mouse, but sth went wrong, can't remember what exactly happened though->didn't try again since)
Parent
Abyssus or abyssussususssuusssu
Mx518 ofc. noob.
roccat kone
deathadder or mx518

choose which one fits your hand!
well, dont want to end up buying a new mosue in 2 years again D; like i said, im not sure about the quality o RAZER. i really like my copperhead, but it always fucks up after 2 years or so...
Parent
this depends on your gaming style. if you are a button basher your left mousebutton will be worn out after 2 years. doesnt matter what mouse you use.

if its just a cable problem, you might wanna switch to logitech. razer are known to have failing cables at their mice for years now. altho you can repair this if you got a little know how.
Parent
first 2 mice broke up because of the cable, this one because of the mouse1 button. i read several threads that especially the copperhead has this issues :( so i dont know
Parent
its a great mouse, i used the copperhead, deathadder, mx518, mx518 again and the g500 and i can say that the copperhead were the best 39,95€ I ever spent.
Parent
39,95€

i paid 70€ back then lOl
Parent
[Kartoffelisch]Ich hab die Maus durch Zufall gesehen vor 5 Jahren in einem Mediamarkt, war so eine Sonderaktion für knapp 40Euro, fuck yeah.. Aber hab sie danach nie wieder gesehen ;(...[/Kartoffelisch]
Parent
what can i say
today they make stuff that way it will break after X time/uses

if you take care of it rly good and not NERD RAGE on it, it will be ok :~D

even in my middle east weather, my mice survive pretty well :~>
Parent
mx518 / deathadder

depends on your taste (logitech / razer)
bak from klub
G400, same quality as mx518.

Do not buy a G500, very bad mouse ( i own 2 of them...)
Swedenupdate approves!
Parent
zowie ec ! best mouse ever!
roccat kone [+]
the copperhead is much better than the g500 in my opinion
Parent
i hate razer mouse
Parent
well it depends on your style, i must say that logitech's quality is much better than razer's but still i prefer razer mice because of the handling
Parent
G400, new BETTER MX518 ;)
noob
Steelseries Xai
Deathadder
Inb4 every single one of these pro-gamers mentioning what mouse they use without even giving a single reason why their mouse would be any good. Sigh, these journals are so useless.

so give me a proper answer :)
Parent
Go to a shop and get your hand on the available mice. Buy the one you find most comfortable to use.

Razer (DA, DB, Abyssus), Steelseries Xai (NOT THE KINZU.), Logitech (mx518, g400) or even the older Microsoft models (IMO 1.1, WMO 1.1, IME 3.0) are save and reliable options.
Parent
also hält ne DA mal länger als ne copperhead?? :D ich bezweifle,dass es an mir lag.. höre öfters dass die copperhead mäuse probleme bereiten
Parent
Kann man so pauschal nicht sagen. Es kann sein, dass eine Maus jahrelang ohne Probleme läuft, es kann sein, dass sie nach 2 Tagen kaputt geht.

Die neueren Mäuse haben leider oftmals so entsetzlich dünne Käbelchen, sodass die Wahrscheinlichkeit da einen Defekt dran zu haben natürlich steigt.
Die alten MS Mäuse z.B. haben ein extrem dickes Kabel, wodurch ich zumindest noch nie Probleme mit Kabelbrüchen hatte. Dafür gehen aber auch die Tasten manchmal kaputt. Sind halt normale Verschleißteile (, die man mit etwas Geschick auch selbst tauschen kann).
Parent
Ave you tried Zowie EC1 and EC2 ?
Parent
No, haven't tested anything new besides the Xai.
Parent
kannst du etwas zu der speedlink kudos sagen?? die lag ganz gut inner hand ( mx518 find ich fast zu groß )
Parent
Glaube ein paar der ehemaligen SL Männchen spielen damit. Habe sie selbst nie getestet
Parent
Kinda depends if you like big/heavy mice (Deathadder / MX518) or something a bit smaller (diamondback, Abyssus,...), and ofcourse what kind of grip you use to hold your mouse.
Parent
g400

edit:
want to know why? use the search function.

für zombies kloppen brauchst du keine maus
deathadder with the old sensor (but pretty much nowhere to get anymore :<)

Parent
zowie ec1 :) Then you can be as good as nuggan and me

Parent
ms 3.0, mx518, steelseries ikari optical and deathadder best fps gaming mice you can get go for any one of them
razer abyssus ist gut, glaub mal

e: oder steelseries xai
got 2 copperheads, can sell one
:')

And I remember when you had nothing! I'm so proud.
Parent
hihi, I don't know if you've seen the list on my profile :D it's quite massive tbh

the only problem lies in the that I've not got enough time to properly enjoy testing these mice even if I wanted to -,-

PS. playing some LoL casually, and you?
Parent
g400, if you loved mx518 you will love g400, just don't install drivers until logitech gets around to fix them
i thing deathadder its closer to copperhead shape?...so wont take u long to get used to it
Microsoft Intelli 1.1a of win :)
