Mx518, good mouse for not all that much, been using one for 7 or so months and im very happy with it, when my old microsoft sidewinder x8 died i was thinking about buying another one but decided to try the mx518 and im pretty glad i did, personaly its much better and was £35 cheaper.

also has dpi changing that you can disable iirc and a change current window button for within windows that you can disable aswell iirc.

Visit a store, try some different mice and pick the one you like.

I just got mine, absolutely lovely. That is of course if you wanted to stay with Razer and not go elsewhere. Ignore the free Tshirt bit you won't get one. Obvious screw up their end.

Also, Alienware were doing the TACTX mouse for £41.99 free del. It's basically a Logitech clone of a £90 mouse. Can't remember the exact model now though.

Just checked and the TACTX is the G9x with a very slightly different shell and changable light schemes.



Sadly Dell seem to have reramped the price back to £60. There are a couple on Ebay though.

Any good then? I remember reading about how excellent they were a couple of years ago but then noticed that complaints about the scroll wheel breaking were coming in the letters after the review.

To be fair to Roccat they did respond immediately and RMAd all of them.

Depends on the kind of mouse you want. If you want a full palm mouse, a G9 is really bad. Its fine if you want to have half your hand on it, and use your fingers.
