Replying to What Mouse Do You Use?

I have a normal mouse to it only cost 9€ and it games well

i took a chance. When i wnet out and bought a new mouse i bought something called the Razer Diamondback. it was $52 i think

it took me a bit gettiing used to. but now its great. The only problem was that, the software that it came with for tweaking settings, didnt work. Other than thats its nice.

Logitech MX510

Logitech has the best mouse selection out there

I use a Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0. Two normal buttons, a clickable scroll bar, and two buttons on the side for back/forward. Optical, of course.

I actually could probably change the side-buttons do different things, but I've never bothered. I used to have a mouse with two scrollbars, one for horizontal scrolling, and one for vertical scrolling, and even though it took a long time to get used to, it proved really nice. Too bad it got screwed.

Anyways, this mouse is really good for me. Can't say anything bad about it, except maybe that I have to scratch off the huge amounts of dust that the rubber (?) pads at the bottom of the mouse collect while I use the mouse, but that's not too bad either as it's kind of addicting.

I hardly game (except for playing a bit of Maple Story here and then), so I really can't demand anything else from the basic features my mouse has ATM. I do remember owning a Logitech mouse at one point and setting one of its side buttons to do something (really can't remember what), to help me win at a Neopets flash game. God, that site is so nostalgic. I remember fist-fighting with my friend because he gave my pet for adoption because I pissed him off. Whatever!

Gaming mouses are made with a unique kind of shape

its like an "ergonomic" mouse you could say, designed to fit your palm much better then ordinary mouses

and these buttons are very small, here is a link Logitech® MX™518 Gaming-Grade™ Optical Mouse

in fact I think endurance is the strongest point for gaming mouses. Resolution also is higher than normal so movement is smoother. Mine (logitech G5) also have two buttons in it's top for increase/decrease the mouse resolution (dpi).

Yea I love having a form fitted mouse. I mean, generic shaped ones are fine, but the ones that are ergonomic so your hand almost wraps around them more then sits on them makes it more comfortable for long sessions. I know my mouse here at work makes my hand sore eventually... I should bring my mouse from home with me to work everyday haha.

I wouldn't mind having a gaming mouse and a gaming mouse pad, but I use a Microsoft optical mouse with a scroll wheel. Just a standard mouse that came with my pc. It serves its purpose, and I have no complaints. I think it retails for about $15 or somewhere there about. You can find it pretty cheap on pricewatch.

I just use a normal optical mouse with two buttons and a scroll wheel. I can't live without a scroll wheel. Or laser movement detection. Or my second mouse button. So I guess I'm just accustomed to what I have right now and I've considered it them as basic, must-have features.

But I'm curious about your mouse. How can you use both buttons at the top and bottom of your scroll wheel? My fingers have to curl up a lot to reach the lower button, which puts it very far from the top button. And even if my finger's resting on it normal position on the wheel, it can't reach the top button without having to re-adjust my entire hand.
I can understand that all the extra button gives many advantages to gaming (especially the Alt+Tab button), but can a person use all of them at the same time?

For the last 3 (or maybe more) years I have been using one of the most simple mice Logitech has. After checking their web site, I have found that it is a Logitech® Mini Optical Mouse. It is really comfortable, even though it doesn't look so special. I have never had problems with it, always worked perfectly for me. Unfortunately, it is not very good for games, if you are a hard core gamer, because sometimes it tends to shake the cursos. I guess that's the only flaw I am aware of.

Compact, comfortable, versatile and affordable. At 30 per cent smaller than regular-sized mice, the Mini Mouse Optical is perfect for smaller hands and mobile professionals who need portability - but don't want to compromise on comfort. And thanks to its extension cable, you'll also use it once back at your desk

* This easy-to-set-up wheel mouse fits either hand, plugs easily into PCs or Macs and is simple to programme to your own requirements
* Optical technology means better tracking on many surfaces - without cleaning
* Three buttons and a scroll wheel give you complete control

I play with a Genius optical, 3buttons + scroll. Very nice, and the thing I like the best in it is the transparent case, which is absolutely awsome in dark! Anyway, I still intend to buy a Microsoft comfort optical 3k. But now I'm not playing so much...
