So, ever since my Logitech MX518 died, I’ve been stuck using this PoS M$ standard one. I’ve always been a fan of Logitech, never had any problems with them, but I’m curious about other ones out there, namely Razer. Anyone have any input on what they use and how they like it? ---

I use a logitech mouseman optical wireless mouse/keyboard combo that I purchased from a member here a few years ago… does the job, but you can’t map the 4th button to a key in Vista (logitech wont release it’s software for it… they want you to buy a new one) so that part of it kind of sucks. it works though ---

Ive owned both a razor mouse and the G5 (currently own). I found that the razor’s middle mouse button was very difficult to use. After having 2 razors, both with the same issue, I bought a G5. Sure you give up fancy blue/green/red lighting, but you get some serious control with the G5. Buy it. That or the wireless G7. No other mouse beats them for the cost. ---

Been using the Logitech Marble mouse for gaming since 03’. Same mouse for the last 5yr with no issues at all ever. Could never game with a normal mouse now. So easy to scope up and snipe due to now having to move anything while clicking to fire. ![http://dutch.ircfast.com/screenshots/29300/300x300xae9d19b744.jpg](http://dutch.ircfast.com/screenshots/29300/300x300xae9d19b744.jpg) ---

> [@Nikuk](#): > > I expected to see: Well played. I’ve been hearing about those issues with the scroll on the Razers, apparently its not an isolated issue. Looks like I’m off to get another 518, that last one took quite a beating over the last few years.
