A decent mouse

[McMonkeyBoy]

Can anybody recommend a decent mouse? I've been using an old ball mouse for all my games but I've been finding UT3 pretty hard with it. Im in desperate need of a good cheap mouse that I can buy and have shipped to the uk or order in the UK?

Thanks guys

well, I myself used to use a standard microsoft optical mouse, it worked pretty well. A basice optical mouse from logitec would work just fine too.

I would go with a Logitech. They're a good trusted brand.

Logitech have awesome customer support; the old $10 mouse I got for free was a Logitech, and it worked great until the LED underneath desoldered itself; I never got around to fixing it.

I can't speak for Microsoft's customer support, but the products I've had have been generally good. My Wheel Mouse Optical wasn't terribly durable, but was great while it worked (I've gotten another one since); if my Comfort Optical 3000 had forward/back buttons (as opposed to a tilt-a-wheel) I might well still use it on my main PC.

So I can wholeheartedly recommend either brand. Beyond that, I dunno; never ventured outside those two makes for a mouse I've actually paid for.

I've been using this mouse (http://www.xtatix.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=35&products_id=57&osCsid=dc814c0dd238e94d14fe8f8892f3fa50) for two years. I got it during the short time that newegg carried it (only reason I saw it).

I have been running a g5 for years now and tehy are great. they are 53 dollars but if that isnt up your alley check out the mx518 is like 23 bucks.

Go to Newegg->Computer Hardware ->Keyboard & Mice ->Mouse.

Choose your price range, then sort by Best Rating. Compare the top three and see what you like, read a few reviews, and bam, you have a mouse that you will almost definitely love.

I use a Logitech MX518. Looks really cool, good button layout, adjustable dpi settings. I've had it for 4 years, and no problems what so ever.

Pictures don't do it justice. It looks really neat in person

It cost me almost $100 when I bought it, so its a great price now

I can also attest to Logitech's excellent service. I bought an MX revolution (best mouse I've ever owned, but not cheap). It was a refurb so there was no warranty and I contacted Logitech support explaining that it wasn't working right, they replaced it with a new mouse FREE OF CHARGE! Great company, I wish Creative Labs would take a cue from them and back their products this well.

True that. I got a VX Revolution (small wireless notebook mouse) about 4 years ago and the thing is still going strong. I've only changed the batteries maybe twice while using it at least 6 hours a week. I used to keep it in my book bag and take it and my laptop to classes. The VX doesn't have a scratch on it after 2+ years of getting thrown around my back pack, while my laptop is no longer usable...

If you mean cheap as dirt, you can go with some X7 from A4-Tech.
It's not Logitech and for sure not Razer, but it will work.
My advice is X-750BF ( not 750F) and X-748k(black one). These are best low-end mices you can get. If cheap only 2 of those.
Sensor is same as in some Razers and Logitechs but made by cheaper cost so theres some interpolation.

From Logitech you can go with legends mentioned here. G5 and MX518.
Razer released lately one low-end mice too - Salmosa. Can't tell anything on this more than it lacks buttons, only 3.
Death Adder - got cheaper lately too.

Kick some game pad for it too.

I have the Razer Lachesis 4000 DPI Laser Mouse..
Slides very nice on my Icemat Mouse Surface. ( Glass )
Awesome in FPS's like Call Of Duty 4 & 5. Looks so
purty, ya don't even need to mod it.. lol

I use the razer death adder, gaming mouse but its not tooo expensive, around 60 bucks i believe. I'ts a great mouse. I'm not a fan of logitech ive had three logitech mouses just randomly stop working for some odd reason.

[apbrit2009]

definately logitech g5
its better than the g9
the g9 has some more features, but they're really unnecessary
the g5 is cheaper and looks awesome

get the microsoft intellimouse 1.1

Its under $20, it lasts a long time, and its ambidextrous which is nice if you play lefty like I do. Most of the Razer gaming mice are kinda low profile, and can feel a bit weird. In my opinion they are overpriced. Alot of top gamers still stick with the 1.1

or if you want the black version (which looks nicer IMO, i have 4 of them)

Very nice mouse:up: a piece of luxury:D.
I use mine with a razer exactmat with wrist cushion bundle, if your get a high end mouse get a good surface to use it on too, glides so nice and has easily adjustable speed, great for gaming and great for doing regular stuff too, the lachesis took a bit of getting used to for me thou as I had the narrower copperhead before it but have grown to really like it now and like w0lv3r1n3 said it looks good too.

But if not for gaming and just for regular computer stuff, I think the plain old ms optical mouse does a good job and is cheap.
