Mouse and Headset »There is...

by Vindicator • 23 Dec 2007, 11:34 • Journals
Hi,

For new year I was thinking of asking a new headset (current sucks, ask anyone :P) and/or mouse (current is G5, enough said).
Now, I was thinking of asking this headset and this mouse

Good? Bad? Any other advice? Price should (preferrably) be 50€ max.

G5 > all (never had any problem with it)

when i bought my first razer and i was wtf omg gaming mouse and uhhh ohhh then turned out fast it has USB probs... get back to the shop and they changed it with garantee... when the 2nd had usb problems too i went back and said them i want my money back or want to buy it @ shop... so thats the story how i bought G5... and after 1,5 years or 2 works fine.

razer always make me lol. fucking sad how much money they ask for that bullshit quality. and yes i will be attacked by at least 10 razer fan who were enough lucky and havent got the usb probs what the other 30-40% had...
only 1 good thing i can say about razer...SOMEHOW... i rly donno how its better for CS:S than logitechs...

it is just funny I hear many many times that someones mouse broke and that it doesn't work anymore but I got a razer db for 2.5 years now and I never had problems with it, only 1/20 times it doesn't work when I start up my pc.
I also got a g5 on my own pc, where I don't play games. I like the g5, and I like playing with it but same as the razer dunno which 1 is better :)

but how can u broke ur mouse, are u guys smashing with it or smth when u die in a game? :D

its not about crash! USB probs... i never broke any mouse... and wtf is 1/20 times only doesnt work lol? :)

i mean if ur mouse doesnt work for 1/20 times then its shit :(
G5 = 0/1000 atm or more :P always working, fucking stable mouse :)

Hmm... I have to agree on that, I thought "wtf" when I read 1/20 too, and my G5 is always stable, but I dno, since everyone always says that for some reason it sucks and there's better, I took a little look. Maybe I'll ask the Mx518 though, if diamondback crashes so much...

i guess that usb prob is not related with the mouse..
my db had that bug from time to time (1/20 :D), i switched usb port and never had that prob until now. maybe i`m wrong but at least its working for me :D :P

ofc we do also we smash the mousebutton with a hammer so the shoots HIT HARDER OFC

I do agree with Trevize about the mouse. I bought a Razer Copperhead and I didn't like it. So I bought a MX518 and it's great now.

For the headset I have a Sennheiser PC151 and it's nice too. But I don't know anything about Steelsound.

Well I had a diamondback and it worked fine for about 5 months after that it had those usb problems, won't let me down though, cause my cousin bought the newer version only few weeks after me and never had probs (somehow it had an other usb connector) so i'm thinking about (re)buying a db

sennheiser pc151 & razer deathadder imo

Vindicator 23 Dec 2007, 12:52
Is the pc151 so much better than the Steelsound 4H? Because it's kinda hard to get in Belgium...

dejx 23 Dec 2007, 13:48
i don't like Steelsound, don't know i tried few headphones and sennheiser was best from all. They are really comfortable and sound is very precise.

i got a diamodback, never had any problems with it (excluding that usb bug from time to time)..
it is still responding on a high lvl.
only minus are the unreachable buttons @ the side of the mouse and if u really got big hands its to small..
if u prefer heavy and big mice buy a logitech (mx518 or g5 dunno) but diamondback is quite nice for small hands and lazy boys.
TIP: copperhead feels even better in your hand than diamondback ;)
EDIT: i dunno much about headsets, but sennheiser are pretty good AND expensive. I`m using a Sharkoon 5.1 Headset (was pretty cheap) and im quite fine with it

Ye its pretty expensive, but it's very good aswell :P. I think 4H will do fine aswell, although i have never tried it.
