1352801 2013-09-05 07:17:00 Can anyone recommend a gaming mouse for under $100? I'm sick of my <1000 DPI logitech mouse. It is very terrible especially when playing multiplayer. I mainly play FPS games so side buttons and a high DPI would be handy. What is a good DPI anyway?
Preferably green to match my Razer Kraken headphones. It doesn't really matter though. I also prefer wired mice. :nerd:

I am thinking of getting one of these:

Razer Deathadder www.trademe.co.nz
Logitech G600 www.trademe.co.nz
Razer Mamba (if the trademe auction stays at a low price) www.trademe.co.nz

I usually buy off trademe to save money.

Thanks :)

1352802 2013-09-05 07:57:00 I like the G400s, I got it because it's the closest to my old G5 in the current models, pratically identical except no weights, which I never used anyway.

It's a personal thing though, what I like you may hate. Also I tend to use the middle sensitivity because high is just crazy sensitive and mucks up my aim.

1352803 2013-09-05 08:44:00 G500s, G700s (if you want wireless), or Asus ROG GX950 (www.mightyape.co.nz) inphinity (7274)
1352804 2013-09-05 09:00:00 The ASUS looks good. And a good price too. I will see if I can pick up a cheap g500 or g700 maybe. I'd imagine the g600 would get a bit confusing in the heat of battle. It has a lot of buttons. The custom LED lighting is pretty cool though.
Any experience with Razer mice?

Personally, I've not found a Razer mouse I like. Don't get me wrong, they're good quality, decent software, I just.. have found them uncomfortable and unwieldy, personally. But some friends love them.

I use a razor mouse, feels great, works great and is easy to programme.
The only gripe I have with it is sometimes it is difficult to wake it up, but as it is a wired/wireless hybrid all I need to do is plug it in for a sec, not such a big deal.

1352809 2013-09-05 22:00:00 Buy off trade me to save money? Make sure you double check your pricing, a lot of sellers on TM are rip off merchants, and warranty support can be very hard.

Once you've factored in shipping, often it is cheaper from a proper shop.

Logitech all the way for me.

I would get this one from CL.

Or this if you're into that kind of thing. :p

1352810 2013-09-05 22:11:00 You're actually right. I have noticed that. But there are the odd things which are a bit cheaper sometimes on trade me. ChazTheGeek (16619)
