Mouse Suggestions?

Zenphic · 18th Dec 2008, 01:11 PM

My Logitech G7 is having the double click problem and I don't have the warranty anymore, so I might let it retire earlier than planned.

Any suggestions for a comfortable, right handed preferably, inexpensive, quality mouse? Something like <$40 would be perfect for.

Hmm, how bout the Logitech MX518? Looks pretty decent to me..Quite lasting too (max has 1 and uses it like quite long O_O)ooh, i own 1 too

MX518? hmm.. an excellent choice coz im using one too..

The new MX518 has an updated sensor 1800dpi, and it's dirt cheap. I would recommend that as well. I was using one too.

MX518! I totally forgot about that one. I thought it was outdated now with that the Logitech G5 is around... I will definitely get one then during boxing day

Thanks guys

In a benchmark done by esreality, MX518 is actually better than G5. And personally, I feel that MX518 is better than G5 (first version), because it has more buttons.

That's surprising, especially when you factor in all of that hype about laser sensors and such.

Hmmm there's a local sale on the Logitech MX620 at the moment, for only $25! About $15 less than the MX518. So tempting

just be aware that it is a wireless mouse
it quite fit for the right hand
but quite heavy as well as it uses two AA batteries
and as well middle clicking will be a lot difficult with that kind of wheel mouse
if you can live with that, then its a fine mouse
the choice are yours
