G7. Wireless is superb, absolutely no noticeable input lag compared to G5, and the shape fits my hand perfectly. My only complaints are that it would be nice if it was just a little longer (long fingers hang off the edge), and needs moar button.

I am gonna be one of those who haven't tried or used the majority of the mice on that list and voted the one I own. I have played around a tiny bit with the DA and just didn't like it. I do love the G5 though, its always been my trusty sidekick and hasn't let me down. The way it fills the palm of my hand and how my fingers just naturally fall on it just make it too much win for me to even desire to contemplate other mice. :)
such low votes for ikari, when in fact they have recently COMPLETELY killed auto correction, thats right, done and done.
MXs too small for my hand, diamondback good performance but uncomfortable. Anyone like the Death Adder for big hands?
DA is better for big hands, which I don't have, but its still good to me.
Use Copperhead more than one year. Love it. I tried Lachesis before but I hate it tracking. Probably I got a bad one because the tracking is off if I raise it from the pad even 1mm. -.-´ Other than that it a good mouse.
What makes a mouse a "gaming mouse"?
Shiny leds? Fancy name?
The hardware doesn't matter, that's for sure.
Voted for MX518, i have got it all way when it got released.
Working like a dream whit my ol'good Steelpad 4D :)
alright you and me we'll play I'll use my Razer you go get a $4 ball mouse we'll see the difference.Quote:

I voted for the MX518, like everything about it.
PS: i have not used any other high-end gaming mouse.
I like the MX-518 a lot and I've also got a DeathAdder but it doesn't fit well for my hand at all.
Anyways I recently bought another MX-518 and unlike the older sample this new one had different kind of pads beneath, huge glides instead of the standard small teflon pads. Now these glides don't work very well with my Razer Mantis Speed mousepad as I game a lot and the cloth (fibertek material) pad gets sometimes a bit sweaty and these glides and sweat makes the friction a bit higher than I'm used to with the old MX-518 while it works fine as the cloth is dry (I'd say even slightly less friction than with the small teflon pads). Now I wonder if it's possible to get the MX-518 with the old smaller pads still and how to know which is which before ordering? AFAIK the older MX-518 I had was named as "Gaming-Grade" while this new one is only named "MX-518" and nothing more.
Perhaps I should just try to pick off the old pads from the MX-518 with a lose cable connection and stick them ontop of the glides on the new one.
MX revolution.
I'e actually tried quite a few of these:
Logitech G5 / G9 - Nice mice but I wouldn't recommend them. Logitech's laser mice just aren't as accurate as their mx518. They may be just the thing for high sensitivity gamers or people using LCD displays, but I find that they skip around a bit.
mx518 - Maybe the best gaming mouse I've used to date. Plenty of buttons and nearly all in the right spot. Very accurate, but due to the way it fits my hand I find the logitech wingman style mice to be quicker moving left and more accurate moving to the right. A little odd and hardly noticeable but it works great and makes a lot of use out of a single sensitivity setting. Played it till it feel apart (3+ years).
Deathadder - Dead accurate, dead simple. Very neutral mouse for my hand and a tad more accurate than the mx518. The scroll wheel is great and buttons feel nicer too but I could really go for two more. Best FPS mouse for me. The drivers are nice but are freaken picky and the bottom of the mouse is slightly swollen too - best to use a cloth moue pad with this one.
Coppehead - Suppose to be a left or right hander but I hated this mouse. It just didn't fit right in either hand and not being able to use all the side button bug the crap out of me. Main reason I didn't buy a Razor Lachesis.
Lachesis - could be great I don't know though - I use a mx310 for when I go lefty, the Razor symmetrical mice just don't do it for me.
Steelseries Ikari - The optical looks promising, added to cart. Believe it or not I actually need a mouse, people keep taken mine! - will edit after I get it -
Intellimouse - good feel but never like the no click scroll.
I have a couple of Logitech wireless Laser mouse as well (not G7) but these things are worthless. I'd toss em but they don't even fly straight.
I'd vote 518 but I'll wait for the Ikari, btw there is a good but slightly dated read on ESR.
DeathAdder + QcK
Had an old IntelliMouse (pre v3) and liked the feel. When I became a low sens user it couldn't keep up so I upgraded to an MX500.
I was a Logitech user from MX500->510->518. The Logitech MX mice all have this annoying high pitched squeal which prompted me to find a replacement.
Considered the Habu but the sensor sucked.. then lucky me the DeathAdder came out!
I love my Sidewinder, but I might hve to pick up a Steelseries Ikari one of these days. Looks like a great mouse.
A4Tech X-718F.
600 - 2000DPI on-the-fly-switch, but via software 200 - 2000DPI, 3-fire button, two side buttons, nice desing and the biggest '+' - the mouse is pretty cheap. Too bad thou that the surface ir glossy - the hand slips when you game intensive.
Love my G9. Logitech really stands behind there warrenty too.
I own the Lachesis, so it is the greatest mouse of all time. It has pretty blue lit thingies and moves the arrow on the screen as fast as I want!
I've used the Copperhead, Deathadder, Lachesis, G5, G9 and Microsoft Habu. For me, I need to be able to grip the left side with my thumb and right side with my pinkie or both right fingers. Overall, I found that the G9 worked best for me. The G5 and Habu made my pinkie feel like it wanted to slip. The Lachesis is a very good mouse, but ambidextrous mice feel weird. The one thing I really do like about the Lachesis is the laser in it. It has a really short tracking distance, so when you lift the mice off the surface you aren't looking all over the place. Important for higher sensitivity players.
The best thing you can do is find out what works best for you. The thing that sucks about that is it's hard to actually use them before you buy. Some places that display them have them out of the box, but not hooked up to a computer so you can't really try it.
I have done the opposite, the lachesis is supperior just at one thing and that is the adjustability of the dpi settings.Quote:
