(50 year old gamer may use them on occasion). :) Looking at Logitech G500 and G15. Intrigued with Wolfclaw....?? Opinions will be treated as such. I hold no one responsible for my final decision.

863067	2010-03-02 07:04:00	Subjective but the most voted mouse on GamePlanet Forums is the Logitech MX518, I've owned many of them and they're one of the cheapest 'gaming' mouses you can get. Other mouses to be recommended are the Microsoft IE 3.0 and Razer Deathadder. The IE 3.0 and MX518 can be had for under $60 and all three are optical (typically better for gaming as they have less problems). All three are full grip mice but the MX518 is the winner in that regard due to its design, not saying its better its more of a preference how you hold your mice.	trinsic (6945)

863069	2010-03-02 07:28:00	I use a g5, Good versitile mouse. Good with games but also good with general use. And G15 keyboard is pretty cool too, although I dont use alot of its features cos im just not hardcore gamer enough to figure it out. Worth every cent though	hueybot3000 (3646)
863070	2010-03-02 08:17:00	I just replaced my original g5 that finaly wore out and got a g500. It is the same mouse internally as the g9x but in the same shape body as the g5 so much more comfortable (imho) and crucially, cheaper than the g9x.	lagbort (5041)
863071	2010-03-02 10:05:00	so... save the keyboard for later? When he can buy his own?	EFFIGY (12530)
863072	2010-03-02 19:37:00	I have a Logitech M950, works nearly any surface including glass which is what my desktop is made of. Bit pricey though can be had for $135 Very nice mouse fits in the hand prefect well balanced etc. It may not be suitable for VERY hard core gamers due to being wireless but the reality there is there is no lag so fine for 99% of us :P nzgamer.com	Battleneter2 (9361)
863073	2010-03-02 19:38:00	MX518, MX510. As for the keyboards, I've owned a G15. I can say I think they are overrated for gaming. If you think you will use the macros then fine, if not, don't bother. They also were probably the worst kb Logitech ever made too. Wolfclaw? Same thing, I'm currently using a Gigabyte K6800. Nothing fancy, just a nice keyboard.	pctek (84)

And G15 keyboard is pretty cool too, although I dont use alot of its features cos im just not hardcore gamer enough to figure it out. Worth every cent though Exactly the same as me - love the G5 (Get the G500 though if you like the G5 shape, that's the newer one,) and I've got the G11, don't like the new (orange backlit) G15. You've gotta be very careful getting the G15s there are 3 to choose from, and two look identical. Get the G500 though if you like the G5 shape, that's the newer one. The G11 is ideal, if you don't want the screen. The first one (That pctek is talking about) wasn't very good. They amended this, but never really admitted there was a problem so they just made more that look the same, but the issues that the 1st one had were fixed. If you can find any new Blue G15 it should be the later version (I've got one of those, it's had a bashing and is none worse for the wear. I even fed it most of a tui stubbie one time, after pulling it apart and cleaning it, it was all good again.) The new ones are fine, but IMO they don't look as good and if you are buying the G15 it's normally for the G keys, and the new one has dramatically reduced numbers, and they are harder to use without looking at the keyboard. If you play warcraft at all IMO the newer G15 isn't your best bet.	wratterus (105)
