Hello all,
I am on the quest of finding the best (yeah i know, no such thing exists) gaming mouse for the money. Or more like for a ~65 euros budget money.
To keep it short - My Ikari Laser mouse's left button started acting up lately, and it's out of warranty. I absolutely love the Ikari's ergonomics, having big hands i like a large, heavy, palm grip mouse. I am tempted to go ahead and buy a new Ikari, but i am kinda scared of it failing again.
I've spent the last two days looking at reviews all over the net, picking my next mouse. The criteria:
* Very good, palm grip right-hand ergonomics.
* Build quality (clickers, sensor, cable, slide)
* Price of ~65 euros max
So far i've narrowed down my research to a couple of different models:
Logitech g700
+ many buttons, without being absurd
+ good design, big and heavy
+ 1khz refresh even through wireless
- it's still a wireless gaming mouse, a bit fishy even after all the 1khz flare
- battery life
- probably worse sensor than other brands
Razer Imperator
+ 4g sensor, latest gen
+ supposed build quality
- it's a bit small and light for my liking, not all that ergonomic as they say it is
Cooler master Inferno
+ great design
+ great price
+ many buttons
- smaller than the rest
- "lower quality" sensor
Cooler master Sentinel Advance 2
+ great design
+ just enough buttons for my liking (4 really)
+ new sensor
- sensor fails at 8k dpi, which is absurd anyway
- the metal mesh supposedly started peeling and rusting on the older model
and finally, the "if all else fails" option:
Logitech G500
Soooo... Any opinions on my selection? They are all in my price range, and judging by the various reviews i have read it's mostly a matter of personal taste. What i am looking for is personal experience with one or more of the mice i listed, some sort of "hands on" comparison with a bit more than 1 week use, things like that. And any information on inherited defects, like the Kone+ scroll for example.
If anyone has other suggestions that comply with my criteria, i'd happy to read them too...
