Nerd City: A Gaming Mouse

I use a 5 dollar Logitech basic mouse. You don't need all this fancy bling on that mouse.

Need? No. Nice to have? Yes.

Think of them as 'hardware macros'.

Razer gear should be avoided in general. It's kind of like buying an Apple, you're getting some solid components but you can get the same stuff a lot cheaper elsewhere and it's a lot less of a hassle. You pay A BUNCH for that glowy logo.

The logitech lineup is pretty solid, like the G9x a lot myself.

Prove it. I've tried both Razer and Logitech and in my experience, Logitech is poorly made and breaks down much quicker than Razer. Also the price difference isn't that much. Razer is typically less than $10 more expensive.

This is what I use:

Had it. Buttons work great and are positioned well (you can move the thumbrest to fit comfortably, for those doubting). The 'button' in the middle on the thumbrest is actually a 4-direction switch and it's fairly easy to use. Handy.

Problem is my M4 button broke off after about 3-4 months of use. The construction is a little weak for heavy use.

I use RTS Razr Naga now (6 button design). I really like it and suggest it.

You'd have to be a true PC gamer to understand the purpose of a mouse like this.

Thank you so much for all the suggestions so far! I am going to look at each one (including the controller adapter, or at least a software program that would allow me to slot in my PS3 controller).

This is what I did. I used the program linked from this page.

The only problem for me is my PC doesn't have a Bluetooth receiver, so I have to keep the usb charging cord plugged into the controller, and if I accidentally yank it out during play, my PS3 turns on and the controller stops working with the PC (obviously, with no connection to it), causing me to have to replug it in and reset it through the program.

Logitech G600 and I love it, absolutely love it.

On my healer I have 1-8 set as targetters so I just press 1 to target someone in my group.

On my tank I have all my cooldowns on it.

I like my Logitech G700. It's a good size for my hands (a lot of "gaming" mice are way too big), has a very comfortable shape, and seems to be of good construction. I've had it for two-ish years now and it still works great.

I use a logitech G500 for my gaming mouse and love it. Complements the G15 keyboard nicely.

The only problem for me is my PC doesn't have a Bluetooth receiver,

There are tons of USB bluetooth nubs (e.g. they just stick in the USB port and they're almost invisible) and they're very cheap, like $8-15 on newegg. Great perk of this is with some other third party software you can use things like Wii U Pro controllers, wiimotes, etc on your PC.

Precise answer to my question.

OMG thank you! That's exactly what I wanted to know!

Can't wait to get a free minute to take a look at all these suggestions...The keyboards look super awesome!
