Mouse Recommendations
« on: April 12, 2018, 07:56:05 PM »
I am currently using a corsair m65 (non rgb) and it is starting to cause issues. Looking for recommendations on a new mouse please.

I have the Logitech G403 and it is a tank. I would recommend it and you could get it on sale for under $50. If you want one with more macro buttons, the G502 is also really nice and customisable. The only problem I have had is RGB/software related, so it can be fixed with an update.

The Logitech G700s has been with me for years.  It's a perfect fit for my hands, and there's not 17 million buttons to accidentally press as I'm playing games.  There's only two cons that I have.  It's rechargeable battery is laughable, but I leave it plugged in anyways.  All the buttons can be changed, but only set to keyboard keys.  In other words, they can't be set like a controller such as "button 1 - 69".  Other than those issues, absolutely solid mouse.

I'm using the steelseries rival 100. Its a basic mouse that has 2 thumb buttons and nothing else.It gets the job done for me. I haven't had to much issues with it other than the blue LED is no bueno for my red LED scheme.

I have one for my desktop and one for my laptop, 3 profiles for the side buttons you can switch between and variable DPI. Also won't break the bank.

If speed, sensor quality, and FPS is your priority, your options realistically fall into one of these:

Razer Deathadder

Logitech G403

Zowie (any model with the 3366 sensor)


All have the highest grade sensor on the market and when you get to the threshold of that making a difference, you'll be glad to have it.

Downside to these mice is they don't have a ton of buttons for macros, but I find that in Arma that's not really a problem.

I cant recommend these enough for Arma, especially with how many different keybinds there are. It takes a bit to get used to, but from what Ive seen, and used, they also fit well in your hand, your thumb is usually in a comfortable spot. Though, its not for everyone.

I am leaning towards the logitech g502, does anyone here have any experience with this mouse. It seems to get very good reviews and aesthetically is looks very nice. Thank you for all the suggestions so far it is appreciated.

I've used one for quite sometime with ARMA and never had an issue.  Button layout is both comfortable and practical,  build quality is excellent, and programming the mouse through Logitech's gaming software is a breeze.  A nice feature is that the mouse wheel itself has, in addition to a regular vertical button,  a right and left programmable action as well.  I always found it handy to program one of these to cycle between different sights.

I don't think you would regret the purchase.

Logitech G700s has been a mainstay for my gaming for some years.  Comfortable fit, DPI mode changes, scroll wheel left/right buttons, 4 buttons along the side, and a can be used either wired or wireless (which is awesome).

Good luck.

I personally like a Claw style grip on my mice so I use the Mionix Castor :https://www.amazon.com/Mionix-Multi-Color-Ergonomic-Optical-MNX-01-25001-G/dp/B00XJZ59Y0



however if you like to palm grip your mouse the razer deathadder is by far one of the best out there.
