    Cool Gaming Mice - Choose your weapon!


    Are you looking for the BEST GAMING MICE ?

    A good gaming mouse can dramatically improve your performance in FPS, RTS and other games which require precision and fast reaction.

    What grip style are you using: palm, claw, or fingertip? This determines the size and shape of the mouse you should look for: palm grip users prefer bigger mice, while claw grip fingertip grip users like smaller, lighter ones.

    What games are you playing mostly? MMORPG fans will probably want to get a mouse with lots of programmable buttons - like Razer Naga - to bind their skills and spells to. On the other hand, the two basic buttons and the scroll wheel are usually enough for RTS gamers.

    What's your budget? If you don't have a lot of money to spend, don't despair - cheap gaming mice with an optical sensor often perform just as well as the expensive laser ones, although they aren't capable of as high maximum DPI.
    Let me introduce some of the Best Gaming Mice in the market

    1. Razer Deathadder (Best palm grip mouse from Razer w/ 3500dpi sensor)
    Priced @ 2800-2900



    Who hasn't heard of DeathAdder? It's definitely one of the most popular top gaming mice on the market. Featuring ergonomic right hand design, 3.5 generation infrared laser sensor, 1000 Hz ultrapolling (1 ms reponse time) and above all, competitive price - you can't go wrong with this precise fragging tool from Razer. Just keep in mind this mouse is pretty large: it's possibly the best mouse for palm grip, might be feasible for claw grip, but not really suitable for true fingertip grip.

    common issue: double click issue
    fix: opening the mouse to clean the contact. very risky and would delay gaming pleasure

    2. Logitech G9X (Highly customizable and comfortable gaming laser mouse)
    Priced @ 3900-4180 php



    The G9x is a top gaming mouse from Logitech, packing one of the best laser sensors on the market capable of achieving up to 5700 DPI sensitivity. One of the best thing about this mouse is how customizable it is: you can choose from 2 interchangeable grips (Wide Load and Precision, which makes the G9x a great fingertip grip mouse), weight tuning system, custom color LEDs for extra eye candy and programmable on-board profiles. Like most Logitech mice, it has angle snapping (movement correction) that can be easily turned on and off in your SetPoint software.

    common issue: mouse scroll problems

    3. SteelSeries Sensei (Pro gaming mouse w/ built-in profiles, LCD screen, classic shape)
    Priced @ 5000 php



    Sensei is a new offering from SteelSeries: a top gaming mouse armed with a 5,700 DPI laser sensor, capable of doubling the sensitivity to a staggering 11,400 DPI using interpolation (not that anyone needs that much, save for owners of multi-display setups). The mouse is fully customizable and optimized for gaming with its adjustable lift-off distance, acceleration, prediction, polling rate, and sensitivity. Sensei has a classic mouse shape that should work with most grip styles, especially claw and finger. The only downside of this best gaming mouse from SteelSeries is its steep price.

    common issue: driver problems

    4. Logitech G400 (A successor to the legendary MX518 )
    Priced @ 1400 php



    The new Logitech G400 is a true successor to the classic Logitech MX518 gaming mouse. It has an upgraded optical sensor with more DPI, exactly the same shape of MX518 that gamers have come to love, smooth plastic finish (no decals or grapics like on its predecessor), and pretty much the same button layout - two side buttons, scroll wheel, DPI+ and DPI- buttons, and a button for quick tab switch. If you are looking for an MX518 alternative or upgrade, this is the way to go. The price is also quite affordable, and the mouse doesn't have any shiny logos or LEDs for those who dislike that stuff.


    Note: this mouse used to have some jitter issues with Logitech Gaming Software installed, but they are now fixed. If you are using LGS, make sure to update it to the latest version. It's also best to use native CPI settings (3600 or 800) to avoid interpolation.



    5. Saitek Cyborg R.A.T. 9 (One of the best wireless gaming mice w/ twin eye laser sensor)
    Priced @ $159.00 to $199.95



    If you're looking for the best wireless gaming mouse, look no further than R.A.T. 9 from Saitek. Long gone are the days when wireless mice were considered inferior for gaming! R.A.T. 9 has 1ms response time which is on par with the best wired ones. It is a unique mouse due to the solid metal frame, custom weights and 3 interchangeable grips / palm rests, allowing you to fine tune the feel of the mouse to perfection. And if you want to save some money and don't mind the wire, take a look at R.A.T. 7 instead.

    common issue: _____________________________

    6. Razer Abyssus (Possibly the best fingertip grip mouse: light, small and accurate)
    Priced @ 2200



    The Abyssus is the best fingertip grip mouse offered by Razer. It's small, light and ambidextrous (symmetrical) which makes it perfect for precise control with your fingers. It is recommended to couple it with a control mouse mat, such as the Razer Goliathus. Keep in mind that this Razer Abyssus mouse does not have any thumb buttons, which probably won't be a problem for RTS or FPS gamers, but might be unacceptable for MMORPG fans who need more buttons to bind their skills.

    common issue: double click issue
    fix: opening the mouse to clean the contact. very risky and would delay gaming pleasure


    7. Mionix Naos 5000 (Comfortable right hand design, custom weight system and 5k dpi)
    Priced @ 4000 php



    This wired gaming mouse from Mionix has some of the most comfortable ergonomic designs for right-handers I've ever seen. Your hand is just fully supported by the mouse, and you can palm it without problems. It has 5,000 dpi laser sensor (same as used by Logitech G500 and G9x), adjustable colors, programmable buttons and customizable weights. Mionix boasts about compatibility with all kinds of surfaces, so you probably don't have to worry about tracking problems or negative acceleration on this one (although a plastic mouse pad is still recommended).

    common issue: minor driver problems for dpi settings
    fix: get latest drivers


    8. CM Storm Sentinel Z3RO-G (Twin doppler laser sensor capable of up to 6 m/s tracking speed)
    Priced @ $60



    Most people will be familiar with Cooler Master from their quality computer cases, heatsinks and fans. Gotta hand it to these guys, it turns out they know how to create very good gaming mice with their CM Storm series as well. Its best features include a super accurate laser sensor w/ up to 50g acceleration, grippy texture, OLED screen and octoshade LEDs for quick profile recognition, weight adjustment and a competitive price on top of that. This is a pretty large and heavy mouse, best suited for palm and gamers with large hands. As you can see, it has an ergonomical shape optimized for right hand (sorry, lefties). One more thing worth mentioning is that the laser sensor of CM Storm Sentinel Z3RO-G can be a bit capricious, and its accuracy depends on your mousepad a lot.

    common issue: mouse cursor doesn't move properly
    fix :
    1. In the Windows System Control Panel (Start->Settings->Control Panel) click on the "Mouse" Configuration Menu and browse to the "Pointer Options" tab. Make sure you set the pointer speed to medium on the speed bar, and disable "Enhance pointer precision"
    2. Make sure there is no dust or dirt stuck to the bottom of the Mouse next to its sensor, and make sure the Mousepad is clean as well.


    cons from fellow istoryan 3kster: this mouse is somewhat choosy on surfaces it would work with. But this had been aided because the product comes with a free mouse pad. rubber coating on the mouse easily wears out easily.


    9. Razer Naga (The only mouse with 17 programmable buttons)
    Prices:
    Naga Molten @ 3700php
    Naga Epic @ 5990



    Naga is a powerful gaming mouse from Razer made specifically for MMO games. It boasts an accurate laser sensor, anti-slip rubber grips, and a lightweight braided cable. But what makes this mouse really stand out is its 12 thumb button grid. FPS or RTS gamers won't ever need that many functions, but MMORPG fans will love being able to bind any skills and macros to one of the 12 extra buttons, accessed easily with their thumb. Razer also offers custom add-ons for the most popular MMORPG games.

    common issue: double click issue
    fix: opening the mouse to clean the contact. very risky and would delay gaming pleasure


    10. Roccat Kone+ (6000dpi laser, 576kB onboard memory and adjustable weights)
    Priced @ 4200 php



    Kone+ is the best gaming mouse offered by Roccat at this time. It uses the same laser sensor (Avago ADNS-9500) as Xai and G9x. It has programmable macros, hybrid shell for right-handers, multicolor light system and optional sound feedback when performing on-the-fly DPI adjustments or switching the on-board profiles. This is definitely an excellent mouse, but the price is rather high as well. Some gamers have complained about its surface being uncomfortable to touch, too. This mouse is rather big (13.5 x 7.8 cm, weighing 126 grams) and should suit palm grippers and people with large hands quite well.

    common issues: mouse scroll glitch. driver compatibility on windows 7

    11. SteelSeries Diablo III Gaming Mouse
    Priced @4400 PHP



    Each year gaming mice manufacturers release game versions of their best mice. Sometimes it's confusing to know exactly what it is that you've got. When SteelSeries took on the Diablo III mouse they created something completely unique that was made for one of the most click-intense gaming series ever made. Like the Sensei it's ambidextrous, lightweight, comfortable, and has an ergonomic fit. It also has great balance and works with whatever way you like to hold your mouse (claw or palm).

    12. Cooler Master CM Storm Xornet Gaming Mouse
    Priced @1200 PHP



    Don't let the price of this mouse fool you. It's a solid gaming mouse with instant switching between 500, 1000 and 2000. I'd compare it to the MX518 or the Deathadder. It doesn't have a ton of programmable buttons or anything, but it's one of the best entry-level mice available.

    13. Logitech Gaming Mouse 9G300 (A Budget Gaming Mouse Worth a Look)
    Priced @1250 PHP



    This is another great entry-level gaming mouse fro Logitech. It comes with 2500 dpi resolution, has an optical sensor, and can store 3 ready-to-play profiles.

    14. Corsair Vengeance M60 (Performance FPS Gaming Mouse)
    Priced @ 2399 PHP



    Released in late 2011 the Corsair Vengeance M60 is a great new mouse by Corsair. Key features include; 5700 dpi laser sensor, FPS optimized with a dedicated sniper button, glide pads, and it's all bolstered by its single piece aluminum structure.

    15. Logitech G500
    Priced @ 3000 PHP



    The Logitech G500 is a revamped version of one of the most popular gaming mice of all time - the G5. The G500 takes on a similar right-handed shape that ensures a good grip and remains comfortable throughout long gaming sessions. Under the shell lurks a 5,600dpi laser sensor that supports on-the-fly adjustability for incredibly effective tracking.

    Probably the best feature of the G500 is the fact that there are ten buttons available and each of them is programmable. That makes it great for any game, whether it be the laser sensor giving fast responses in a FPS or the ability to load up the buttons with macros for MMOs and RPGs such as World of Warcraft. There's even memory installed on the mouse to store your favourite button profiles. Finally, the G500 allows you to add up to 27g of extra weight thanks to a removable tray that holds up to six individual weights.

    16. Razer Imperator
    Priced @3700



    The Razer Imperator is a new design that packs the latest 5,700dpi sensor inside it's ergonomic shell. It's designed for right-handed gamers and features a design that's very similar to their Deathadder mouse. As well as the cutting edge sensor there are seven programmable buttons as well as onboard memory for up to five sets of button profiles.

    What's special about the Razer Imperator? Well, it has one unique feature - the two thumb buttons on the left side of the mouse can be repositioned by sliding them forward and backward. This allows you to achieve the perfect position for your hand size, meaning your thumb can relax a little more. It's a nice idea that works surprisingly well

    17. Microsoft Sidewinder
    Priced @ 2500



    With a long list of features the Microsoft Sidewinder mouse makes a great case for itself. While it might only have a 2000dpi laser sensor it manages to make up for this by including some useful extra features.

    The first is the variable weight system as used in the Logitech G9, that allows additional weights from 5 to 30 grams to be added. It also has a choice of feet with different glide characteristics.

    There are 5 programmable buttons, on-the-fly DPI adjustment (400, 800 and 2000), an LCD display that shows DPI and icons for macro recording.

    Best of all - it's cheaper than the Lachesis and G9 by a considerable margin.

    18. Logitech MX518
    Priced @ 1300 PHP



    The Logitech MX518 is something of a classic amongst gamers. It's powered by an 1800dpi optical sensor with adjustable sensitivity and has eight programmable buttons. Not bad, but it's a really old design so why would you want one instead of a newer design? Two things - build quality and price.

    The MX518 has been around for a few years now, and despite a cosmetic facelift it is largely unchanged. That's good, because it means that any problems with the mouse were ironed out long ago. The MX518 was also a good design from the start and it is built to last. There are many tales of gamers who are still using an old MX518 even though they've managed to trash new mice from other manufacturers.

    Price is also a factor, as you can pick up an MX518 for under $20. That gives you a good sensor that should be more than adequate for most games, eight programmable buttons and a mouse that will last for years for just a quarter of the price of a Razer Lachesis. Bargain!

    19. Razer Lachesis
    Priced @ 3800 PHP



    The Razer Lachesis currently holds the title of having the laser sensor with the highest rate of dpi, rated at 4,000dpi. Its nearest competitors are still running at 3,200dpi so if you really need a sensitive mouse then this is the one to go for! The DPI rating is also adjustable on-the-fly in increments of 125dpi.

    It has nine programmable buttons and onboard memory to store up to five different profiles. This means you can plug the mouse into another PC that hasn't got the driver software installed and still be able to access your profiles.

    You also get a stylish shape, as well as Razer's typically cool lighting. There are three colours available - Banshee Blue, Phantom White and Wraith Red.

    20. NXZT Avatar S
    Priced @ 2500 PHP



    The NZXT Avatar S has proven to be a mixed bag. When it comes to appearance the Avatar S is an eye catcher thanks to it’s streamlined design and high contrast color scheme. The light weight body is low profile and well suited for users with smaller hands. The ambidextrous design allows the Avatar S to be configured for either right handed or left handed users which could add to it’s overall marketability.

    We do however have some issues that we would like to see addressed in the future. The position of the right side button for one makes it very difficult to use. We have to use a pinky finger on this button and it feels unnatural.

    The next issue is based around changing the mouse DPI settings. The original Avatar used a simple dual button system positioned behind the scroll wheel, which worked fine in our opinion. Having to hold the left side button while moving the scroll wheel forward or backwards to change DPI settings is somewhat frustrating, especially when locked in a heated battle.

    Due to the limited space in post #1, other mice would be posted on other pages. LINKS BELOW

    I've had the pleasure of using a Razer Deathadder. It was my first gaming mouse. Sadly it did not last as long as I expected it to being from Razer and all. But using the mouse was wonderful. It's simplicity just took my breath away. I remember the day when it arrived in PC express, I was about to sleep because I had shift at 11:45PM. I left the house at 12 noon and went all the way to SM ( I live in escario ). I picked it up and I was one happy camper

    But after about a year and a half, it began double clicking everytime I pressed the left mouse button. Which was kind of a disappointment. But while I was using it, I was happy
