Need Advice: new GAMING MOUSE. - Page 3

**Steiner** · 03-10-2008, 03:58 AM

I use, and would recommend [given the ammount of buttons that you want] a Logitec MX-1000 Laser. It allows you to set up nine different configurations on the mouse and have two buttons where you thumb is (perfect for VOIP). Tilting and clickable mouse-wheel in all directions etc. True, you would need an ice-matt along with it, but that's a minor detail.

I don't think they make the MX1000 anymore. It's no longer on Logitech's website. Also, what is an "ice matt" and why would one need it?

**Steiner** · 03-10-2008, 05:04 AM

Ah, I see. "Ice-matt" was my bad english to describe a mouse-pad made of glass.

Ideazon Reaper Gaming Mouse I've been using this mouse for over a year now and it never lets me down. Will consider upgrading to the new Reaper Edge.

Is that a laser mouse? The manual with my G7 says specifically to not use anything with a high gloss finish like glass. I use the old reliable fabric covered neoprene pad that came with my mouse/wrist pad:

Yeah, its a laser mouse. I tried to use a mouse pad like yours, but it was impossible. The cursor wasn´t "exact" at all, it was difficult to move the mouse around (due to its kind of heavy) and so on. So I went into a computer-store and asked them exactly what I needed to have to get the mouse to function as it should. So they picked up a "glass-pad" and said that what's best for a laser-mouse. Made all the difference for me.

Hmm, that's odd. I figured the reflections would mess with it judging by the recommendations from Logitech. I have used a paper thin plastic mouse pad with a grid-like pattern on it also that worked fine, but just felt uncomfortable after using the wrist pad thing I've had for so many years.

squadexodus · 03-10-2008, 08:20 AM

I use my desk. maybe thats why ill just start looking at the sky and spinning randomly....
Im looking to get a new mouse too, and i might try this really weird one, just for kicks

You are kidding, right? You get what you pay for when buying PC parts and accessories. Plus with only 1600dpi, it's a little behind the times.

MX518 is the only way to go

**StevieRay** · 03-10-2008, 09:58 AM

I use the G7 desktop and G5 laptop, both are great...Newegg.com is a great site with reviews that are very on the spot. I go there even if I am going to buy somewhere else.

Question....what are we doing?.....imagine Warehouse with a new mouse all configured....yeah, lets speed up his ability to kill...I hope I am on his side.
