Mouse brands and quality???

[the_slayer]

Hi,

I am in the market for a new mouse and was wondering if there is any big diff between some of the brands out there like:

microsoft
logitech
razor
genius
???

i need something for my desktop... not for gaming... just general extended pc use... would prefer something that has a higher dpi so that it reduces the movement of the wrist... also would be good if it was ambidextrous compatible as sometimes i like to swap hands...

cheers!

I currently use a Razer Diamondback and personally, I love it.

When looking for a mouse, the most important thing you should have in mind is comfort. Everyone has different hands and different tastes. I love my mouse to death, but I know a lot of people with big hands who may find Razer mice too small for their liking, which is exactly why I use them; I have pretty small hands and I'm able to comfortable hold and control it. If possible, see if you can go to a local computer or electronics store and see how they feel for yourself.

Generally anything from the first 3 brands you listed should be good quality mice. As far as high-DPI mice go, Razer is probably your best bet, and Logitech makes a couple of nice ones as well. You can find some really nice mice (heh..heh...) for around $40-50 that will last you quite a long time and are also great for gaming if you ever decide to use them for that purpose.

As far as ambidextrous mice go, most (if not all) Razer mice have an ambidextrous shape. Logitech has some too, although many of their mice are right-handed only so you'll have to make sure before you buy. Like I said, try them out for yourself, I've found it's the best way to pick a new mouse.

some people have said not to go with a razor if its not for gaming??? why not razor if im not gaming with it??? their prices are around the same and most are ambidextrous with a high dpi....

also would prefer corded... because it is on a desktop so i dont really need wireless and have heard that the wireless ones have a bit more weight in them... plus dont want to have to worry about batteries...
