Over the last 4 years i've been playing with some mice from logitech but time and time again they keep breaking or failing on me even though i did not abuse them in any way whatsoever. I need the brilliant minds of crossfire to inform me on some of the offers beside Logitech and preferably your personal experience with the mice you are using.



broken:

mx518

g9

mx518, never had any problems, just setpoint is a bit annoying :)
▼
douille 29 Aug 2009, 11:59
There is absolutely no need in having setpoint installed.

The sensor runs at 800 dpi by default. Pressing the "+" button will up it to 1600, - will lower it (1600->800->400)
Having your win sensitivity set to something else than the 6th notch will mess with this (will multiply or divide it). 4/11 is dividing it by 2 (800 dpi if your mouse runs 1600) and 3/11 will divide it by 4. (Others values aren't integers and lead to pixel skipping issues)

Logitechs are generally stronger than razer mice... MS are about the same aswell. I think you should be a bit more gentle with them ;)

what's best? diamondback 3G or DA? why?
▼
Deactivated6434 29 Aug 2009, 13:05
DA cause of shape and it works perfect with icemat.

spiROZE 29 Aug 2009, 13:12
yeah I'm concidering buying a new one but I love the shape of my copperhead and the diamondback has more the shape of my Copperhead than the DA does...

Deactivated6434 29 Aug 2009, 13:19
gotta agree with that diamondback has similar shape to copperhead. read some reviews and stuff, should help you to choose bestest mouse.

spiROZE 29 Aug 2009, 13:21
i'm kinda lazy xD you know wich one is the best in theory?
Parent
▼
Deactivated6434 29 Aug 2009, 13:23
afaik diamondback and deathadder are using the same sensor (3G) so i think there is only other shape (but im not sure)

get another mx518 I did because my old one kept turning on and off so i got the 1800 dpi version and ever since i have had no problems with it, also stay with it because you are used to it...


*EDIT* the only ereason my old one broke was because the hertz on it were set to high and over a period off time it will brake, 1.5 years it lasted not bad iu guess even though i threw it about ect...

vegeta 29 Aug 2009, 12:51
I still don't understand how can people broke so many mouse in so less time.. i think you should try to enhance your sensitivity or something like that >_<

Anyway try again with a G5 or MX518; after all the logitech you had the feeling with a razer mouse wouldn't be so good :p

loazis 29 Aug 2009, 12:54
mx518 should do fine, if you're annoyed by the shape or you just want to try something else for a change you could opt for a deathadder I suppose.
▼
Uteoz 29 Aug 2009, 13:10
I have decided long time ago that when my mx518 dies I'll by a razer.
I'd recommend Deathadder or Krait.
▼
spiROZE 29 Aug 2009, 13:13
why not diamondback 3G :s ?
Parent

Uteoz 29 Aug 2009, 16:29
w/e, in ET even Krait is enough =]

IME 3.0 or DeathAdder

slajdan 29 Aug 2009, 13:20
mx510-mx518, have had 4, one died to cablemalfunction and 2 died to usage.

suVi 29 Aug 2009, 13:27
get a deathadder, the shape, the feeling, the tracking, etc is simply amazing, I've also heard that diamondback 3G is quite good from a friend of mine even though i never tried it out

i tried mx518, g5, copperhead, deathadder, lachesis, and from those the worst ones were copperhead and lachesis, the shape was simply annoying and it was impossible to play with them, g5 and mx518 were quite ok but deathadder was better by far

G5, got mine "broken" after 3 years but i fixed it easily by cuting the cable 5cm from the mouse and resoldering it in the mAus
▼
vimm 29 Aug 2009, 13:52
mx310 was my favourite. mouse1 button got fucked after 2.5 years tho, fixed it and it worked for another year. Now I have mx518 and no problems with cable yet.
