Razer / Mx~~~??

by lexo • 24 Jul 2008, 02:51 • Journals
hey dudes
since my old diamondback is broken i use a 10 € mouse ~.~

now i want to buy a new mouse again...
i bought razer exact mat, shortly after that my Diamondback broke : x

now i need some feedback.

Should I try Mx518 or any other mouse(for example G5...etc) or should i stay @ razer ?
Maybe you have some experiences with eXact Mat + Logitech ?

Would be nice if you could post your opinion about Lachesis / Mx518 / G5 or any other mouse you can recommend.

btw : I'm using kinda low sens

Deathadder fits the most + what people above said . HF with it.

mx518 all the way :<

But if you feel, that the diamondback is good for you, just buy it again, I don't see any reason why you would have to buy any other mouse, if this one fits for you.. ;)

Edit: MX518 works well here, its a really good mouse. I also own an eXactmat, but mx518 + eXactmat = enormous fail...

kk thanks so far.

I heard from few persons that Razer's arent that long-living ?!
I know about 2 people who said their Copperhead died within 1 year.

And someone once wrote a journal about low/high sens and the mouse for it.
If i remember correctly he said something like :

Mx518 : If you move the whole wrist ( low sens ?!)
Razer : If you mostly just move your hand. ( higher sens ?!)

Maybe somone know something about this.
Personal field-reports about noticeable diffrences between Logitech mouses (MX518, G5....) and Razer mouses ( Diamondback, Deathadder, Lachesis) would be nice.
Just write what you know, it will help ;D ;D ;D

moving wrist = high sens

deathadder is technically superior to the mx518, but it comes down to feel at the end of the day

If you play @ low sens ingame you need more "effort" to move zEH crosshair ? ( wrist )
And same for high sens ingame...then you don't need that effort ? (hand )
well nvm about the wrist thing xO
Noone thinks about how he moves the hand, he juest move it how it fits for him.
I think you can't over-simplify such things.

You know anything about the long-living thing?
Just fear that my mouse will die after a short time then, if I buy Razer >(

my da is holding up fine, still feels brand new after a few months of heavy use

but uhh... wrist isnt big enough to use low sens with, it cant turn enough... most lowsens players are moving their arm more than anything else, sometimes its necessary to use the wrist but rarely

i think that's what i meant x(
moving the forearm ( together with wrist ) for lowsens dudes...
Just expressed wrong DX
Mh I will wait for some comment...but I think I will buy Deathadder, since Mx518 doesn't work with exact mat like one guy said before.
And i don't wanna take any risks with buying another logitech mouse then.

I believe that the mx518 refresh has the same sensor as the DA. Anyway, old or new mx518, you wont be able to make it skip.
The choice between the DA and the mx is mainly based on the shape, the rest is quite identical.

MX518 is the best optical mouse for right hander!

Razer got the best lasermice imo. Logitechs best lasermouse is the G5 but its worse than alle the razor mice

FrGje 24 Jul 2008, 08:23
mx518 <3 you should buy it ! : D
▼
darthmob 24 Jul 2008, 09:40
I would buy the mouse with the best fitting shape!
personally I have got a mx518 and I definitely will buy it again. there is no need for a more expensive logitech in my opinion.

I heard DA is not that light mouse around 135g. Can anyone tell me a light and good mouse ? I am using ms 1.1 but sometimes it cant handle my fast arm.

what the mx518s weight ?

suA 24 Jul 2008, 10:43
I used Logitech G1 for quite some time, it's the shape of mx300 and has the mx510's sensor... iirc it's 80 g.

deathadder or ikari

I don't think you'd be disappointed with either the DA or the MX518. What should be the deciding factor for you is comfort, they're both designed for right-handed users but the shaping is slightly different.
I have both and although I think the DA is a superb mouse the MX518 still fits my hand alot better.

Both mouse are good but if you used to have razer then stick with it, DeathAdder is the best option for you. Don't even think about Lachesis, it's shit.
