defiantly fake id say, never seen a steel series/Microsoft mouse like that

[2SHY]

My First gaming mouse i bought a MX518 has lasted me ages, still a solid mouse.

I use a razor Naga : and to be honest it is a fairly annoying mouse to use, but I don't want to throw it because it cost me about $70.

The numpad buttons on the side of it get in the way when in "intense" FPS games. (have disabled them).

My next mouse I think will be the saitek cyborg.

Heres an email from seller so im :S dunno

Dear daniel********,

Yes, genuine Microsoft mouse, not copies.


They are classic stories in CS gaming history! A lot of professional gamers won fames with these mice because they are: low dpi(good at sniping), high FPS(sensitive to process datas and respond), good ergonomic design.

SteelSeries XAI/SENSEI/KINZU/KANA are basically copies of IO1.1 design.

Years ago, Microsoft stopped production of these mice. Unfortunately, many gamers are still looking for these mice.
That is why they were re-born with new outlooks.

It is worth your consideration.

Current Mouse: Steel Series Cataclysm mouse

http://steelseries.com/products/game...o-gaming-mouse

Bought it because it was large and had heaps of buttons, 15? Gave up on the buttons as they just gave me the shits, way too many and cramped together for my hand, the only useful one is the little square one on the pinky rest, Is really good to be bound to stuff like entering vehicles or mounting up.

On the plus side the actual shape itself is quite comfy, altho after 18 months ive worn off alot of the pain on it.

Ordered the R.A.T7 and will be getting it monday so ill report back on that one

Using and highly recommend --> Steelseries Sensei

Went from Logitech Ball Mouse, First Logitech Laser Mouse, MX510, MX518
Stopped PC gaming for about 4 years then went G5, X5, Ikari, Sensei

Best ouf of the old ones X5 for sure, then MX510.


A quailty mouse mat makes a huge difference too!

Logitech MX510, had it for over 7 years. Working beautifully as always

It's just a generic optical mouse (likely to be 400DPI/125Hz) with the old IE1.1 shape and dodgy decaling.

Probably not worth the $50 you're going to pay for that at all, you can buy a genuine SteelSeries Kana like mine and have the genuine sensor/software/drivers for about that much.

I still have exactly this model:



And it's as good now as it was when I first bought it. Which is awesome. Admittedly, I haven't ever bought a more expensive mouse, so maybe I'm missing out on whatever they might offer. Even so, it's good, and seemingly pretty solid too.


edit: Oops, bigger image than I wanted to use...

Well a couple of weeks ago i would have said my g9x was awesome and really worth the money. I have owned it for about a year.
Not anymore. In the last few weeks the feet of the mice have gone from good to really really bad. They are wearing unevenly to the point where the edge of the mouse will scrape the mouse pad if pressure is put in slightly the wrong area of the mouse. Not. Happy. Jan.

Have been using on a razor vespula for the past ~9months now, keeping both it and the mouse clean.
Comeon tax man, i need me a new mouse

Well the feet are consumable, to what extent really depends on the mousing surface you like to use your mice on.

Pop a few dollars into a set of new feet and the mouse will be back into the action without problems.

ROCCAT KONE+... awesome... THAT IS ALL!!!!!!!

Don't get fooled into believing that spending more money equates to higher quality. It just doesn't measure up that way anymore.

With mice in general, the quality has gone down.......over the years. I think it's because now everything is made in China so the old quality regimes that were in Japan and Korea will never be supported in China.

It's true with everything being made now. If you have a Korean or Japanese made rodent keep it. Never get rid of it to buy any Chinese rubbish masquerading as "Quality". It simply doesn't exist.

99% of the time it is on the rougher side of the dual sided razer vespula. Any ideas where i could get some feet? Would prefer to see them instore, but will purchase from ebay if i HAVE to. Been burnt too many times on ebay.
