Recommend for me a mouse.


Technology


I have a gaming laptop that I use as my computer. It came with an Asus Gx850, and I really like it. Sadly, however, the constant movement between rooms has frayed the cord of that mouse to the point that I don't think it will last much longer, so I've started looking for a replacement, with little luck so far. Seeing as how this is the biggest forum that I am involved in, here is where I turned.

Since I'm having to replace my current mouse because of problems with the cord, I would prefer one that is wireless. I do want one that is comfortable to hold, but I should hope that goes without saying. I'm not really concerned with DPI or programmable buttons, but there is one thing that I really like about my current mouse: the side buttons that sit above and below your thumb, that I use as a forward and back when browsing the web.

Any suggestions?


Well, I personally use a Sharkoon FireGlider, a relatively cheap but very good mouse. It has a cable though, I don't like wireless mouses that much, too heavy and the need to charge them up or buy batteries.
The FireGlider has some nice gimmicks and adjustable weight, well worth it's price.


Recommend a mouse? Sure.

This one here.


If you want a good mouse without paying a fortune I'd suggest a Logitech G400S. It's a cabled mouse - I had a wireless run out of battery in the middle of a tight CTF match. I've never used one since, but that's my prejudice, ymmv. The G400S is the descendent of the MX518 / G400 gaming mouse. I've used this line since the MX500 a decade ago (except for that one deviation into cordless pain) and I've always been satisfied. It's comfortable, has all the bells and whistles you're likely to want and runs about $50-60. My current gaming rig is a Sager 17" that set me back about $3000. If there was a substantially better mouse out there at twice the price I might go for it. But I haven't seen any that are significantly better. Logitech makes cordless ones of course and some of their gaming mouse run a $100. They also have one optimized for MMOs if that's your poison. I play mostly shooters and RPGs - naturally :)


I have a $10 cordless mouse from Target.

It works pretty good. It clicks. It scrolls.

Everything you need a mouse to do really.
