I'll stick with my G5.

The mouse is really cool, and the artists, in particular, are liking the very delicate/fine controls.

I like the feel of it, and the glowing Guild Wars logo is killer. YMMV.

Pardon me, but I need to correct you. Razer are not the best mice on the market, not even CLOSE.

Here, allow me to point you to the 2 best mice on the market.

Meh too expensive, you can grab several different nice high grade logitech gaming mice for the 40-60$ neighborhood. Those mice aren't slacking in any way either, are optical, wireless or not, and they give you years of great performance.

Yes, the G9 is nice. But the Lachesis will be superior. Shipping this month if I'm not mistaken.

The older the keyboard, the better. If its not yellowing, its not worth it IMO. And the keys have to be louder than a helicopter taking off.
I've used a high-end mouse. The difference is minuscule. Except it makes your e-peen feel x2 larger.

I still use my inteli 1.1 and it's still rocks:P

no.
those for gaming = lose

pffft

Mouse smouse. I just call my skills in. I can do that ya know.
I have proof.

Lawnmower · Nov 03, 2007, 04:25 PM // 16:25

cool. a question: is 2000 dpi the best you can get for a gaming mouse? I heard the fa1a1ity or whatever does mice are called, are really good?

Glider of chaos · Nov 03, 2007, 08:44 PM // 20:44

I think i heard of 3000dpi mouse but I'm not sure. Anyway, 2000dpi is really good anyway =)
And about fatal1ty mouse... It's pretty good but not the best around, and it's a bit weird (it's for is pretty original I mean). Some people just don't like the way you have to hold it. I won't recommend buying it if you can't check it before you buy it

You Look Grim · Nov 03, 2007, 09:36 PM // 21:36

not worth it at all. imo.

EPO Bot · Nov 03, 2007, 10:15 PM // 22:15

Things a mouse must do:

-Be not wirless (batteries tend to run out when they are not wanted to and wi fi melts your brain)
-Be optical (greatest invention eva!)
-Be resistant to a number of clicks going into the tens of millions (my mouse seems to fail at it, since it started to spontaniously double click when not asked to)
-Must have a ringfinger and a thumb button for strafing. (Most mice fail at this, exept the Microsoft intellipoint i use)

If it was wireless you couldn't get near the response time. and thats a major selling point

i would find a better use for those buttons than strafing.

Suspicious why Gaile likes the (too expensive) mouse. Maybe someone who works for Anet

When do you want them to?

Five independently programmable Hyperesponse™ buttons
6400 frames per second (5.8 megapixels per second)

You would be surprised at just how large of a difference high-end hardware makes. A subtle difference, but a significant one.

Your loss. After my Diamondback Plasma, I will NEVER use an inferior mouse again, regardless of price.

hahah GW is an rpg dont forget, dont need precision on rpg, just need a mouse,

That is a nice mouse i agree... for an FPS...

Best mouse is all relative... no point in arguing whats better....

PS... i love how the PR (Gaile Gray) has time to comment on a freaking mouse... yet doesnt have time to comment on the 20+ threads asking to get things fixed that have been broken for 2+ yrs... GOOOO ANET....

I'm left handed too, but I've used a right-handed mouse all my life. Are you new to computers or something, or are there others in your family who used a mouse left handed that you became accustomed to?

Wow, lots of mice opinions in this thread!

I've been FPS gaming since the days of Doom2 (played for a while with competition ranked quake clans) , and I definitely notice the difference between low and high end mice. I normally play low-DPI/sensitivity to maximize movement precision (makes long range head shots a breeze), but when I had to do a rocket-jump followed by high speed directional changes, lower end mice tended to freeze and lose tracking. Only the high end laser and optical mice could keep up with my low-sense requirements without losing movement/surface tracking. Older mechanical ball-mice worked fine for a while but required constant roller-cleaning.

I've gone thru plenty of mice over the years (boomslang, copperhead, diamondback, logitech, various M$ mice and Logitechs, etc...), and they all had their trade-offs. The Razer Copperhead was OK, but its tall height combined with a tapering narrow base tended to cause accidental lifting as I gripped it or pressed the thumb buttons. The Diamondback was actually easier to use, but its narrow single piece side buttons(s) were a problem.

I now have both the Death Adder and G9 sitting next to me.

The Death Adder is nice, ergonomic, comfortable, and its 1800dpi sensor is more than enough for me. However, lack of on-the-fly DPI switching is its lone downfall. It is a pretty nice mouse nonetheless... definitely better than my old Copperhead and Diamondback.

The G9 feels good with its 3200dpi sensor, low height, wide base, and its on-the-fly DPI switch is nice. However, the removable grip shell gives it a fragile, squishy, creaky feel. I had to put adhesive felt pads on the inside of the shell to minimize the flex -- now it feels more solid, but there is still a bit of flex present. If Logitech puts out an identically shaped version of the G9 without the flexy shell, I'll definitely add it to my already-large mouse collection.

For GW, any mouse will be fine since precision aiming is not a requirement. However, competition FPS gaming a different animal altogether.

The G9 goes up to 3200dpi, though I can't run it that high without losing too much precision.

The lights make the batteries run out VERY quickly. It runs out like in a mouth and don't you think it would be annoying to switch the batteries all the time?
