And its Â£21.99 @ pc world (or at least was over xmas - usually Â£37 or something)

What mouse is this? Would you recommend it?

Never use the adjustable weights, or the mouse itself?

I can't see the point of adjustable weights, unless you're changing your mouse make and want them to match.

I too have the MX518, very good mouse, very reliable. Had it for over 3 years I think, with no problems apart from the right mouse button sometimes clicks twice. Though that's from the endless hours on WoW holding down right mouse.

Right, think I shall get the MX 518 over the next few days, then. My mouse is getting worse and worse

Super-cool, pulsating lighting effects

Haha!

Well, I've ordered the MX 518 and it should arrive in the next two days.

My mouse is becoming even worse, I think it's discovered I've ordered the new one and now it's doing all it can to piss me off for the next few days!

I caught myself quoting the exact same line!

Honestly.. im tired of people saying ''u dont use 2000dpi, u dont use 3200 dpi''
Higher DPI = More precise, it doesnt skip pixels.
The best is to put it to the max DPI ur mouse allows and then turn down your Ingame sensitivity.

I know someone who still kicks arse using a ball mouse. DPI is over-rated, the difference between 2000 and 3200 is not even close to being noticeable.

Indeed. At the end of the day, if you're good you're good, if you're not you're not. I play very well with an MX500 or a normal windows optical mouse, it makes minimal difference. I just don't play so well when my mouse freezes for 2 second periods frequently.

By the way, I discovered from testing that it only freezes when I move it downwards for some reason.

Ball mouse. Meh >.<

Using one as a replacement now...

Post by **Pedsdude** » January 21st, 2008, 2:46 am

I would give anything to use a ball mouse right now, this one freezes so much more often - literally every 5 seconds it freezes for 2 seconds. Fortunately my new mouse should arrive very soon (most likely tomorrow).

Post by **[SoE]_Zaitsev** » January 21st, 2008, 4:19 pm

Yeh, a replacement. Fine as that, but other than that lazer mouse imo.

OK, well my mouse has completely stopped working, having to type this on a university computer

My keyboard is working, and i have my computer on msn and xfire, so I can talk to people etc. for the meanwhile. My new mouse had better bloody arrive soon!

As a result, I won't be active on the forums until it comes (for obvious reasons).
