Some of you might have noticed me in-game recently, sounding like a gargling robot, gun high in the air and strafing about like a mad person.
All unintentional, honest.

Basically my Microsoft (spit)/Razer 'Habu' mouse is going mental. Disconnecting and connecting at all the wrong moments.
In fact in the time I've written this it's started scatting across the screen very awkwardly- almost un-movable!

I'm thinking it might be a dirty Lazer pickup-wotsit-bit. I'll dig the cotton buds out later.
Until then its back to the 'MS basic optical mouse 1.0A'

Also my transition to TF2 in XP has apparently made my mic sound awful- sounds ok in test but am retreating back to Vista64 as my ping was higher in XP also.

Wireless mice...
I strongly recommend Sidewinder X5. Yeah it costs a bit, but then you'll have a mouse that is awesome.

I was using a razer copperhead until last week. it had been doing some of the stuff your is doing & whenever i started my comp i would have to unplug the mouse & keep repluging it until it lit up.
Its since died & although brothercloten did a bodge job & got it working for a l4d session its now given up.
I was forced to use a really low quality mouse i got as a keyboard & mouse pack. honestly i know they say a bad workman always blames his tools but this wireless thing was just making me angry man.
Oh & after getting pwned for an hour by PM EC on CSS id had enough lol
I just bought a razer deathadder for 25 quid 1800dpi nothing amazing but its so so much better than the wireless 1.

christmas crop ready yet m8?

Sad thing is this one wasnt even wireless! I dont even think I own anything that is wireless (ok maybe a psp and a home-phone!)

Was a decent enough mouse while it worked- 2000dpi, high polling rate; although a little too large and with low quality dpi buttons.
The interchangable side buttons were a nice touch though and they were better quality. More like a mouse-click.

It had been plugged and unplugged alot though to and from my Internet machine- so it could just be wear and tear.

Ive gotta say this little basic microsoft optical has lasted years.
Unfortunately it's that same mouse that gave me RSI or whatever... but im not on WoW 12hrs+ a day so Ill be fine

I see on my mouse i can change the polling rate but i don't know wtf it is lol anyone explain it to me?

Trust GM-4600 .

£12 if you look in the right place and its brilliant. Have mine running 1000hz and 2000dpi, plus its optical not laser .

Now I for me use a Razer Copperhead.. fits my hand and high-sens preference well

Khola NEEDS an OCZ N.I.A.

Everyone else agree?

WP aka on digging that thread up mate - I must admit I was being lazy and should've done that myself .

Dyu know what mouse i use?

I use a bog standard £10 logitech wireless mouse


This mouse has:

2 clickers and a wheel
never broken
Ridiculus battery life
runs on AA batteries (so for when it DOES run out it takes 3 seconds to change, not 20 minutes in a dock)

IF this broke it would be a £10 Curry's jobby, there is nout wrong with a cheap mouse (or keyboard for that matter, bog standard ps/2 dell keyboard ftw, it aint NEVER gonna break on me, no matter how many crumbs i loose in it).

The hell with that!

Rubbish sensor, rubbish dpi, slow report rate and 30 - 80ms lag for being wireless. No thanks!

Wireless is terrible for gaming - you dont realise the difference until you change to a decent wired mouse. I didnt - I use to use an MX700 Wireless. Would never go back to a wireless mouse for gaming again.

I have enough trouble coping with brain lag without wireless mouse lag adding to it .
