So after years of faithful service my mouse decides to have issues, double clicks mostly when only clicking once or interupting my dragging and dropping by dropping the pressed down mouse click.
Now looking for a new mouse, how noticeable is the difference between an office grade and a gaming grade mouse?
I've gamed fine for all these years with a 163 Grams Logitech MX1000 Laser or even a 5 pound cabled optical (I admit it is a piece of [...] but it worked), yet I hear people complaining about the Logitech MX Master, being too heavy at 143 grams...? I prefer a wireless mouse as my way of using the mouses is weird according to my friends and would mess up with any cables, unless sufficiently long and flexible enough to get out of the way.
Anyway I'm considering an MX Master, it looks a good enough 'upgrade', The features are nice, not to many buttons (got a G15 keyboard to handle my macro's etc.) and I don't really care about the back and forward buttons, since I use the keyboard for those. However I don't just want to jump in and buy a mouse without getting informed, as well as possible about other potential mouses that are a good upgrade, but not over the top in pricing, I'm not in to FPS games any more so that's not really a mouse selling point for me. comfort though is.
The sideways scrolling is a nice features I'd like to use with video editing, it seems more useful than the sideways clicking mouse wheel of the MX 1000 at any rate.
So I suppose what I'm trying to figure out is, what is this hype about a gaming mouse, as I can't even seem to notice a significant enough difference between a 5 pound mouse and my MX 1000 beyond that the later feels better in my hands and maybe a tiny bit more responsive and not so cheap feeling.
edit I do hope this is the correct place for this thread to go, if not I applogise in advance for my ignorance (it's late)
