dirtY_joE February 20, 2008 Share dirtY_joE Member February 20, 2008 I currently have a logitech G7 Laser Cordless Mouse for about the last 3 years or so but lately the tracking has gone all skeewompos on me and periodically goes dead and makes me look strait up in game so I need a new one corded or cordless is of no concern just needs to be precise and reliable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL February 20, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member February 20, 2008 (edited) I'm a BIG Razer fan, so much so that I shelled out the $100 for the Razer Boomslang Classic they just released. I used to own several of the original Boomslangs (ball mice) and they all eventually died. I then got a Logictech MX700 and MX1000 and loved them, but not paricularly so for gaming (as they are wireless) so I got a Razer Copperhead. I was then thinking about gutting one of my old Boomslangs and putting the innards from the Copperhead in it when I saw Razer was doing it themselves. The Boomslang chassis which I love so much with the new lazer technology of the newer mice. I've also heard stellar reviews for the Razer Lachesis. Well rounded design for both a lefty or a righty, up to 4000 dpi resolution, on board memory for storing your different game profiles/mouse key mappings right on the mouse so their available on any computer you use, and don't forget Razer's on-the-fly sensitivity adjustment. Sorry, I should really get a job at Razer. Edited February 20, 2008 by dwEEziL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clueless February 20, 2008 Share Clueless GC Alumni February 20, 2008 I love my G7. Other than that, Razer makes a great gaming mouse, I think I have a Diamondback corded somewhere even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Chip Douglas February 20, 2008 Share Lord Chip Douglas Member February 20, 2008 I had an older G5 (they have scroll wheel issues) and picked up a Razer Death Adder. I like them both a lot, but the Death Adder doesn't have scroll wheel issues. Plus the Razer has kick butt lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaftiel February 21, 2008 Share shaftiel Member February 21, 2008 I like the G5. Its just a simple gaming mouse without flashy lights or onboard memory stuff. Simple... I like that. Shaftiel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonfly February 21, 2008 Share dragonfly Member February 21, 2008 I've seen several G5s, none with scroll wheel problems. The only thing I'd change about mine is add a forward button, but I just change the sensitivity increase to be my forward button. I dont need sens +/- on the fly anyway.

I dont need sens +/- on the fly anyway. the new g5 has a forward button. just picked one up tonight. it was on sale for 35 bucks (reg 55). so far so good. like the textured feel. performs like the old one. love having the forward button again. also, the scroll wheel is much better. side scroll and push click and up/down scroll is much more solid then the old one.

dragonfly February 21, 2008 Share dragonfly Member February 21, 2008 Good to know! I knew the new ones had the forward button, but it's good to hear the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VooDooPC February 21, 2008 Share VooDooPC Member February 21, 2008 I am totally the other way on the new G5, I hate the texture. It's like blue snake skin. The rubber in the thumb area also feels gritty. I have an older G5 and use the mouse tilt left and right for back and forward. Only thing I use the thumb button for is the knife in Call of Duty 4.

anonymo February 21, 2008 Share anonymo Member February 21, 2008 I used to hate Razor mice for their size and shape but now that I'm used to it I wouldn't trade it for the world! I think people who like the G series from Logitech need to just bite the bullet and use a Razor for a month, unless you have abnormally large hands I really can't see any logic in the argument for Logi against Razor The only thing I miss about my Logi is the left and right scroll wheel directions, they were great for Photoshop and Protools, too bad they never lasted longer than 6 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lousiest February 21, 2008 Share lousiest Member February 21, 2008 Which Razor model do you use anonymo? I'm kinda looking for one that has a slimmer "waist area", something like the DeathAdder or Boomslang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copperhead, which I think is the smallest one...that was one of the things that threw me at first...I was like "I can't even hold on to this thing, it's tiny..." now I can control it with 3 fingers, dexterity is king afterall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwEEziL February 21, 2008 Share dwEEziL Member February 21, 2008 After getting used to the original Boomslang body design, going back to regular mice for gaming was horrible, hence my idea to make a Franken-mouse. The Boomslang Classic solved all my problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playaa February 21, 2008 Share Playaa Member February 21, 2008 You can't beat a Razor once you get used to them. And yes they are fugly. If you absolutely can't stand a razor and you don't mind a mouse that isn't specifically a "gaming" mouse...I cannot say enough good things about the Logitech MX Revolution.

Demoner February 22, 2008 Share Demoner Member February 22, 2008 I have a G5 and I must say I do like alot. The whole +/- changing dpi is a little bit overrated for I never use that in game but for some people that may be useful. Only complaint I have is I wish it was a wireless mouse.
