I'm thinking about the Logitech MX510

 

[Lee]

Starting to get a bit serious ain't you youth?

I tired a Razer Diamond back the other day, didn't like the feel of it to be honest, but then I've never got on with Razer mice.

I'm still using the MS one, but then I like the simple design and it fits my hand perfectly.

Don't think you'll be disappointed with the Logitech.

 

[Clart]

I'm turning into a complete geek.

 

[JoelDee]

Cant beat the microsoft 5 button mouse quality for gaming!

 

[Griff]

Razer Copperhead's are considered the best but the MX510 isn't far behind.

 

[Saner]

I use the Logitech MXLASER

^^^^ - one and the same, aren't they m8?

I'm thinking of going back to the Belkin Nostromo n50 gamepad. When I was bothered to set it up last time, it was a brilliant device when used in combination with a standard mouse. The n52 model is out now, so I may switch to that instead...

One's Logitech and one's Microsoft.. Quite different!?!?

 

[Lee]

Maybe they use the same internals?

I got a load of nice gaming pads with the Alienware PCs here. Took one home and have one on my desk, you need a good surface for the mouse.

 

[Griff]

Microsoft and Logitech use very different internals.. They don't exactly get on well.

i looked into this extensively ended up getting the logitech g5, absolutely incredible mouse. After using it, my limited edition microsoft mouse which cost me £50 when i bought it, seemed rubbish. It's not all about the sensitivity though, this mouse really glides over surfaces and even includes different weights so you can customise how heavy u want it. can't recommend it enough.

i use a Logitech MX700, never had a problem with it and works very well in games.

It's starting to show wear though as the silver finish is coming off. Cost me £70 new about 2 years+ ago.

 

[Clart]

Just ordered an MX518 and a steelpad mat for £50!

r u becomgng a serious gamer clart, whats going on with new g card, new mouse, asking for counterstrike names...etc...

Hardly. There was a time (not so long back either) where MS kit even kept the Logitech sticker on underneath.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if the MS Sidewinder 2 FF stick and the MS Sidewinder FF wheel were simply rebadged Logitech items.

I use a Logitech mx700

Superbly ergonomic with perfect weight for gaming, slips perfectly on my silicon gaming pad with just the right ammount of weight & friction for precise FPS gaming

I'd like the mx1000 laser guided jobbie, but can be bothered until this one breaks, as it's so good anyway.

 

[Darren S]

Mmmmm. I've had my optical mouse for about three years now. Maybe an 'upgrade' is now required?!

Roy - how long have you used that MX700, m8?

I bought it new when I built my machine, so probably about 18 months or more. The only problem I've ever had is that sometimes you need to give the connectors a bit of a wipe for it to dock properly and charge, but thats rare and hardly an issue. Battery usually lasts at least a week, or a couple of days if I'm playing games all day long. I generally just pop it in it's docking unit every other night.

I use an mx510 fits my hand perfectly. wouldnt get a wireless mouse though everyone i have ever tried annoyed me. The only one i actually liked comfort wise was this one and my old samsung mouse that cost me £5 i didnt find the MS ones nice to hold for my hand so just buy one you find comfy. I dont think you notice a great deal of difference in games with em to be honest although all the extra buttons do come in handy.

 

[Darren S]

Glad you agree wozzaa - I've yet to find a wireless mouse that I can get used to. It's probably just me, but I prefer the 'lightness' of a wired mouse.

That one of Roy's does sound a potential purchase though....

trying to get a hold of a Razer Copperhead Mouse but no where has stock!

 

[Munson]

I've never had any lag issues with the mx700, and I like its weight. I find a light mouse gets lifted off the table in frantic FPS sessions. The mx700 is nicely weighted and glides like a dream on a silicon pad.

Awesome Mouse is wired but so smooth

2 thumbs up from Butter

i use the mx510 with an x-trac pro hs pad, 8 buttons, 4&5 on the side i use for leaning, quality mouse, i tried the logitech lazer cordless & found a very slight delay in online fps, tried a few razers also & unless you are a pro gamer the 'on the fly' is a waste of time. (i have my mouse sensitivity set very low), personal preference eh
