Hello guys!
I'm planning to buy a new mouse since my 3 years old Logitech G500 started to dying (actually I've read a lot about its "double-click instead of click" problem and I'm more than capable of repairing it -will do it once to use it on my laptop- but I still want a new mouse because its something like girls buying new clothes).
So as ever and again, my question is, which mouse I should buy? I dont really want to spend more than 70 euros. So lets say 70 is the budget.
I had Logitech G5 for 3 years, G500 for 3 years and once, very back in time I had a Razer Copperhead (if i remember well) with cable problems (so thats where I got my G5 in exchange).
Actually I was very pleased with Logitech, even my keyboard, headset, speakers are all Logi and they all served me well. BUT... this time I'm looking for some Razer since they all light so nice in those green colors.
The only problem is that I heard a lot of bad about its quality... While I never had any problem with Logitech (I guess 3 years lifetime for a gaming mouse is pretty good since I used it really hard).
The one I'm looking mainly is the Razer Imperator 2012 since its design looks pretty much like G5/G500. So I'm interested in this mouse but if you have any bad experience (or good) with it scare (or convince) me please. Or give me any idea about other mice.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: please give me proper explanation or at least more than just a product name.

Could you check PID number from the bottom of your mouse and tell it to me?
edit: i get it, but is it mostly disadvantage for fps games or some else also?
thers only one thing u should keep in mind tho
STEELSERIES SENSEI > everything :D if ur playing FPS's : ) best shape , best settings for aimbat like aim style :P
Why do you prefer the sensei to xai?
laser problems?! where di u hear that? this mouse can handle 11 400dpi without skipping...
And the answer to your question is: Have fun finding a mousepad for a laser mouse.
Kettő minden egeret fél áron megkapsz használtak kitűnő állapotban.
Kétszer vettem másodkézből DiamondBack-et (mert ennél jobb egér NINCS a világon) és mindkettő mintha vad új lett volna, 4 és 3 ezret fizettem értük.
Legjobb üzlet.
Fogalmam sincs milyenek ezek a G231215ös meg az új razer egerek.
im a mouse junky.
g9,imperator, mx518,mx1000,mx revolution etc....
imperator is nice but i prefer g9 bit more.
First of all you have had G500. I have not owned that mouse but I guess the shape is pretty close to G400. (The shape of G400 and MX518 are exactly the same). G400 has 1000hz polling rate which is pretty great! It has pretty high max DPI, don't remember accurate numbers, you are not going to use them anyway, just pointing this out. It has five different DPI levels by default like 400, 800, 1600... etc. No need to install SetPoint or anything, you can just plug in and you can instantly use all those DPI levels.
The big PLUS is that the mouse is extremely cheap, it is around 30-40 euros, cheaper than most of the other gaming mouses. Old versions of G400 has prediction but new ones doesn't. The mouses which has PID over #13333 are the new ones and have prediction removed.
Hope this helped:)
And that Keyboards are keyboards, no matter if it's a 10€ Cherry or a 150€ Razer/Steelseries keyboard but I cant agree in that case with the mice.
A good gaming mouse simply outperforms the "office mice".
I guess this continues the "you making no sense" trend.
The Steelseries engine for example adds a 1000hz pulling rate and several settings to make vertikal move straighter and makes up for "mistakes" you make while pulling the mouse from one side to an other
Either you get pixel skipping or you don't, there's nothing more accurate inbetween, you can't aim for half a pixel.
Other than that I agree that gaming mice come with nice features such as the 1000hz poling rate, that's it pretty much though and you can achieve that easily with various USB Hz switchers. Also I personally hate any additional software that could interfer with the mouse and windows and prefer not to use any drivers at all (well, the windows drivers are still on.. :)).
About the magic Steelseries Engine: The feature you're explaining is called prediction. Old mice such as the Microsoft ones don't have it. The result is, you can't draw a straight line. I believe even the mx500 already had some prediction which helped you indeed to correct mistakes so you're able to draw that line. However personally (again..) I prefer no prediction and it seems other gamers do as well, as they are putting back the feature to deactivate it into their software.
All in all there is so much to fiddle about with those new fancy gaming mice, you pay a ridiculous amount of money for them, you get absolutely useless features and in the end (at least for ET and similar games) they won't be more accurate (except 1) or 2) apply to you).
On top of that, I have used the Steelseries Xai for a couple of days and noticed quite some positive acceleration on a Puretrak Talent and Google tells me I'm not the only one. The Microsoft mice just work, they seem to be way more reliable and durable than the new mice and they allow perfect control until a certain treshold which won't be reached by most (again, not all!) players.
Gaming mice are better on paper, not necessarily in practice.
I did not want to attack you personally or your choice of mouse, not at all and I'm sorry if you felt like it. Any mouse that you feel comfortable with and makes your aim better is a good mouse obviously. I was just trying to point out that you can get (almost) the same results with a much much cheaper mouse. Also from your first comment I simply had the impression that you just recommend the most expensive mouse there is without any explanation why it should also be the best mouse.
I've tried a lot of mice during the last years from all of the brands available, f.e. Razer, Roccat, Logitech, Qpad, Steelseries and Zowie. And of course all kind of "office mice".
And from trying all these, I suggested the Steelseries Sensei because for me, it is the best mouse I've ever head (till now).
choose the shape you like, ambidextrous or not.
Now I have a Aimbot mouse Steelseries Sensei and this as a logo: *POLACKKILAH*
