    So I'm looking for a new mouse thats not Logitech. Good support and all but I hate having to get a new mouse every 6 months(long story). I've been looking at Razers which seem to be a good gaming mouse but the newer ones are like a 100 buck.

    F- That.

    Anyone have any suggestions? Favorites? Cheap Deals?

    I got a Razer DeathAdder that I like a lot. Think I payed 40 or 50 Canadian for it on sale.

    I know you aren't looking for a Logitech but my MX518 rocks. I've had it for a while now and I love it.

    I actually almost bought the death adder earlier today but decided to hold off. The whole reason I don't want logitech is because I've had 3, yes 3, MX518s on two different comps that would disconnect and reconnect. Hence the new mouse every 6 months. They replaced the first two but won't replace my 3rd one because they say its my hardware, which it's obviously not since a.) they stopped working EXACTLY 8 months from when I first plug it in and b.) its two absolutely different hardware set-ups.

    But yea I loved my mx518s but don't want to spend another 50 bucks on a mouse that I know I'll have to replace 8 months down the line =/

    I like the OCZ but can't find it in stock heh.

    The G5 seems to be the overall gamers favorite in any mouse poll that I've seen.

    G5 would be my choice, ive had one for 1.5 years now and nothing has gone wrong with it. I had a MX518 before that for 3 years and its still running (almost 5 years old....) but i only use it on my laptop now.

    The G5 has some goofy extras and a higher dpi

    Anyone actually game with cordless mouses yet? Didn't think everyone on here was a FPS player. Even tho now with the technology I think cordless still would be the same as a corded one.
