G500 replacement

[duke_lvov]

I have read a lot of the forum threads and haven't found a proper answer for my question, so now I'm asking you guys again.

I have a Logitech G500 mouse and I was thinking to replace it. I'm happy with the design and the features of it, but the material is not okay. I have "butcher" hands and the plastic can not keep up with the rough style I play.

the scroll wheel has lost the well defined pushing point, it turns itself on-off every now and then only by moving the mouse, so I had to switch off the wheel in the software. the idea of the 3 buttons on the side is a very nice and I used them a lot but now the functionality is very unsure: in BC2 I have to press the middle button on the side 2-3 times to activate my kit.

functions I need:
- high (at least 4000 dpi) resolution
- very high sample rate for immediate actions
- 3 (!!!) buttons on the side of the mouse
- a rigid wheel with nice pushing point
- big mouse size
- weight system

I don't prefer any kind of lights on the mouse (especially blue!) and I don't prefer 2 buttons on the side either. I mainly play FPS, I don't play MMO, I'm right hand only, don't use any macros and I'm using a soft surface.

I have looked up the following items: the same thing I already have, the G500 from Logitech, the Razer Imperator, the Roccat Kone+ and the Steelseries Ikari Laser.

if you have any thoughts, experience or opinion with these candidates or you suggest anything else, please give me a shout. thank you in advance!

Sounds like you'd be a prime candidate for one of the R.A.T. mice by Saitek. They have 4 models the R.A.T. 3, 5, 7, and 9 ranging from $44 - $150.

They're all very sturdy, and they're very customizable. Of course the high the model the more features. They may not be the best looking mouse to some, i personally think they look pretty cool, but they're very high quality. At least so i've read, i don't own one myself, though i've heard plenty of rave reviews.

Thank you very much for the quick answer and kind help, but these mice are way to industrial for me. And in Hungary where I live they are also very expensive, so I better leave them.

Fair enough, i only suggested these one's due to their high dpi, customization, and sturdiness.

Another suggestion might be the Razer series. I've owned 2 so far without any issues with breaking or wearing out buttons or plastic. Two of my friends also use Razer mouse without issue. I personally like the Mamba particularly for it's shape, it's very comfortable especially for my big hands. If the Mamba is a bit pricey there's the DeathAdder which shares the same shape as the Mamba.
