New Mousey Mouse Mouse

[Brambles]

I've been looking at this bad boy. Though I might have to save up a bit first.
Any suggestions? Good/ bad experiences with particular mice/ brands?

Well, my opinion:

Unless you're pro, like pretty colours, or genuinely feel the "aesthetics" of that mouse are worth a massive price tag, don't get it.

Assume you're not one of the above:
I use a Microsoft Wireless 5000 mouse. It has five buttons, a massively long battery life, and a decent dpi. I kill people absolutely fine. Only reason i forked out £60 on a Razer Lycosa keyboard was its looks... not cos Razer or Roccat products give their user an extra 3% performance over the competition.

if you're like me & like to pimp out your desk space... then sure, fork out the extra money

also.... I wouldn't trust a company that can't spell/use grammar in its product description... especially if they're charging you a bomb.

There is an awful lot of mouse pads out there for sale.

School boy error....

But there is a bit of a difference. My mouse cost £6 from Argos 4 years ago. How many people still use ball mice? Why not?

Anyways, I am pro (ask ML about my nadeing skillz), I do like flashy lights and bar my mouse and keyboard, my computer is pretty close to pimped.

Anyway I'd never buy a Microsoft mouse.

Enjoy ergonomic design that provides comfort in either hand, and take advantage of customizable features...

Comma after an "and". School boy error....

The point i was making was that you don't need to spend £60 on a mouse at this skill level, a £25-£30 one would do just fine

And since when has just fine been good enough for me? Anyways, I think that rather than get a good £30 mouse I'd rather spend £15 more and get an awesome one. With funky lights.

That mouse looks kinda cool. I'd like to suggest a Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0. I have one of those, it's awesome and cheap.

Brambles... Your nade skills are amazing, how many times did you kill me the other day? 3-4 times? :P

I dont understand why not, if you like the mouse then buy. I mean buying a funky mouse isnt gona make you any better, but on the other hand its not gona make you any worse, so i dont rly see what ur poking at here french. Just cz brambles isnt as good as you doesnt mean he shldn't get a cool mouse......I bet you just dont want him to have a better mouse than you, thats all? lol

(Btw, i wrote this without even looking at the mouse )

Ehm hag? :s

I'm not saying that, I'm just saying the specs are useless to most people, unless they think it looks purdy. All i said was it depends what hes looking for, nab. As i said he doesn't need to buy it, whether he wants to is a different matter. I have a razer lycosa for no reason other than its looks - not gaming prowess lal, but im aware dave doesn't have an infinite amount of cash so if he was buying it based on his specs (which to companies like razer & roccat justify whacking the price up 200%) maybe he'd have been ill-advised to do so.
