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

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.
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.
(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)
choose which one fits your hand!
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.
i paid 70€ back then lOl
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 :~>
depends on your taste (logitech / razer)
Do not buy a G500, very bad mouse ( i own 2 of them...)
noob
booyah
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.
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).
edit:
want to know why? use the search function.
e: oder steelseries xai
And I remember when you had nothing! I'm so proud.
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?
