Hello,

Looking for a new mouse under $50 hopefully. A few have caught my eye and I would like to hear any input about them. I'm not a fan of the logitech shape mice either, but looking for something ergonomic.

Also looking for a mousepad to go along with it, I would like a nice large sized cloth pad with the lowest amount of friction possible, more-so then a QCK or Talent, any recommendations?
 
ikari optical is most comfortable mouse for me, but it broke after 2 weeks :( and steelseries rma blows.
 
Ouch, well do you know how often they break or any other issues with the ikari, it looks like a good mouse, but if it's unreliable... I guess I'll move onto something else.
 
Razer Deathadder for sure. Razer goliathus pads are really nice and you can get them very large.
 
AEM, thanks for the reply, I actually already own the Deathadder, it is nice, but looking for something else to try out. :)


As far as mousepads, I had the speed edition and didn't like it too much... Haven't tried the control though.
 
i got the ikari after my deathadder died after 2years. ive used a bunch of mice (logitech razer steelseries microsoft) and i find the ikari the most comfortable. they dont seem to break alot according the the stuff i found on the internet, but ive had 2 broken ones.. but then again im unlucky and got a g500 that makes noise when idle and thats in the process of rma.

mousepad i use exactmat old but good, used steelseries 5L before but the surface was getting worn out after 2 years.
 
Step 1: Go to Amazon.com (or the Amazon for your country)
Step 2: Search for Logitech G500, add to cart
Step 3: Search for SteelSeries SteelPad QCK Heavy Mousepad, add to cart
Step 4: Checkout and complete your order
Step 5: Win.

Seriously though, this is the best mouse/mousepad combo I've come across and I've tried out a lot of different ones...Pro Tip: Stay the hell away from Razer stuff. Overpriced and cheaply made (for the price).
 
Decepticon, thanks for suggestion, but as I noted in my post wasn't a fan of the logitech shapes...

I'm really considering the Ikari or the Rude Gameware Fierce, does anyone on here have any experience with the fierce? I hear mixed opinions on the Ikari as far as quality goes, but if it works it does seem like a great mouse... But I haven't heard anything about the fierce, also any other mousepad recommendations?
 
If you're looking for a decent sized mousepad on the affordable side that won't wear down too fast, I'd suggest the Ratpadz XT :D It has low friction, most especially when you use pledge on that bad boy! I'm currently using a Logitech g5, and man the pad is so slick!

I totally understand if the size is too small for you though, as some others do want a larger mouse pad, but a good number of [H] members liked the Ratpadz XT. Perhaps give it a look? ^^

edit: As for a gaming mouse, you could try this http://www.crazypc.com/products/cyber-snipa-silencer-4210.html
Cyber Snipa Silencer mouse for $49.99. They also had a memorial day sale that gave a 10% coupon code, but I believe the sale ended a couple days ago.

Actually I'm glad you posted that, do you know if there are any issues with that mouse? I remember seeing the Ozone smog (same thing I think), but I heard that was discontinued becuase it had a lot of problems... Is this the same case for Cyber Snipa?

Click to expand...

I've had one for over a year now and I love it. Very smooth and accurate tracking and a very nice shape with great button placement. It is also built extremely good with no flex or cracking sounds like a lot of those Logitech mice. Also one of the best parts of it are if you use it on Linux(Ubuntu in my case) it is plug and play and every button works out of the box.

As for the bad after a year the rubber coating is starting to come off in a few places(on the black parts, the rubber sides are still as good as the day I bought it). Also their customer support is nonexistent from my experience. I thought that the center button(Scroll wheel click) was broke and tried to submit a support ticket but I got no response. Luckily I found out that the problem was a piece of dirt blocking the contacts from connecting and a few quick sprays from some canned air fixed it.

Overall I would highly recommend it and for me it really did get my kill count up almost doubling it in Urban Terror and I have had quite a few people accuse me of using hacks as my aim is dead on with pulling off head shots from across the map with ease.

As for the Rude Fierce I have not had any experience with it but was looking at it for possibly my LAN box as it would match my color scheme perfectly.
 
ebay a used first gen Boomslang and pick up a DKT pad, one of the old massive ones.

Also please don't buy logicrap.

While you're at it also pickup a Cherry Brown Filco ten keyless.
