    Of Mice and Men

    My Microsoft Intellipoint Wireless mouse is crapping the bed after many years of service. I'm wondering if someone can recommend a good gaming mouse. What are people using out there?

    Thanks!

    Here is a link to a good article about the G5 and the copperhead. Both are excelent choices for a high DPI gaming mouse.

    I've been using this for over a year with no regrets. It's not very expensive:

    Thats the exact mouse I am using (MX518) color and all I really like the 1600dpi makes for smooth gaming and the 8 buttons are nice as well. not to mention I have worn 3 of them out over the last 3 years since my original purchase and I call logitech tell them whats wrong and they ship a new one free of charge not even any shipping charges. Twice it was just the glide pads wore off and they still sent new ones and I got to keep the old ones to boot.

    I've got a Logitech G5 and a Razer Copperhead. The Razer works great under Windows, but kind of looses resolution under OS X (lack of Mac drivers, probably.) So I went back to the G5 and kind of just stayed there for the time being.

    I also use the G15 keyboard, which I love.
