need a new mouse

right, my lachesis is dying on me. So i need a new mouse.

which one should i go for guys?

G5

G9

Copperhead

DeathAdder

the issue with razer however for me neways, is that they have REALLY bad drivers.....both my lachesis and my diamonback had BSOD issues on their drivers (as does my friend who "inherited" my diamondback......)

I'm well chuffed with my G5 since buying it in May... This a great little mouse and a decent price.

That said, I haven't tried any of the others

I <3 my Deathadder.

Very easy to move, glides across the surface and is very precise. I was baffled at how much it increased my FPS skills.

i'm just worried that if i get a G5, i'm going to miss out by losing a button on the left.

(on my lachesis i use left, right, middle, left thumb button whislt gaming and the 2 left thumb buttons whislt browsing the web)

Well G5 has the two programmable side buttons as well as left, right and wheel click.

Does yours have an extra one then?

i thought it only had one?



one on the left hand side.

and I use these two on the left (i never use the middle buttons below the wheel, way too far back for me (stumps for fingers by the looks of it)):

Well like I said, I can't speak for the others, but I can say the G5 is solid as. Also looks quite good.
