Making the switch to a gaming mouse worth it?

[Deleted]

I like a pad rather than a mouse with loads of buttons. Try looking at http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-n52te-T...dp_ob_title_ce

A good step from 3 button to gaming is the razer deathadder. I think I paid $50 for mine a couple years ago. http://store.razerzone.com/store/raz...ctID.224620300

edit, I had wrong name of my mouse/added link

i switched from a $10 Desktop Mouse to a Logitech G700, prized at ~60$ and it is worth it! not only in gaming (7 macro buttons + 4-Way Mousewheel) also it is way easier when surfing the web, the mouse fits better in your hand than the cheap mice do. Also the normal profile has forward/back and Copy/past bind to the buttons, very usefull!
But like the others said, you have to try if it fits you

Whatever you do, don't fall for the razer gaming bullshit.

I wont wax lyrical over the Naga as that would mean I've praised it far too much in my very few posts. Put simply I have one and I couldn't play without it.

I know you asked about a mouse, but if you're fairly happy with what you've got and would consider something else, I'd definitely recommend a Logitech G13 game board. Its similar to the Belkin one already mentioned, is a great addition to the gaming setup when you get used to it and, most importantly, fits the fact that you have a coupon on Logitech G series products only. I couldn't suggest anything other than a Naga mouse, but the game board may have just as much of a positive effect on your play. Of course, if you go for both like me, you'd probably be pretty happy with that too

Get an MX518, lovely design, cheap, and lasts longer than the average life of a bunny.

I remember when I made the switch. It was from the standard slim two button + scroll Logitech mouse, and I switched to the MX500 (the old gray one without the "bubbles"). At the time I was an active Counter Strike player, and the difference was like night and day. It felt like cheating, the mouse was aiming FOR me.

It wasn't the mouse that was aiming for you... it was the aim bot u had installed

Razer mouses are top notch, but the keyboards aren't. So u either lack info or u lack something else...

Implying that everyone knows Razer mice are top notch is rather silly, a lot of people including myself have had problems with their mice. That being said alot of people also haven't had any problems. I would however suggest a plethora of different mice to choose from.

Cyborg m.m.o. 7 - http://www.cyborggaming.com/prod/mmo.htm
Corsair m90 - http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-gam...ing-mouse.html
Logitech g400 - http://www.logitech.com/en-us/mice-p...ing-mouse-g400

I guess thats not really a "plethora" but its afew. There are so many great mice to choose from it really does just come down to personal preference.

For MMOs I'd definitely recommend a Razor Naga. The 12 buttons on the side really are amazing and convenient. Had mine for I guess about a year, no problems.
