Best Hardware tips for mouse(mat)/keyboard(pad)

Post by Egg » August 12th, 2005, 4:14 pm

Yo,

My question is about tips for the better harware , I dont have a mousemat and know there are some good ones but they also are expensive . Such as the Razorback .

What are you COD gamers use for this ? Or know whats might be good ?

I linked here a gamepad for shooters , its called the Cyber Snipa Gamepad and lookes good .
Somebody know this one or say something about it ?link

And about mouses , i have got the logitech MX700 (cordless) and think its about 600 dpi or so. But there is a mouse comming from logitech and it have 2000 dpi . Thats a lot more then the 600 dpi, but i am playing good know but think there are some possibilities too improve my aiming accurcy with other harware .

And Yes i know i am freaked about this game ! :mrgreen: .
Greetings

Yep same. A mouse is something you need to get used to, your own preference. From what Ive heard, the razorback is so sensitive, your sensitivty need to be about 1 in cod to be usable ...

I use a wireless trust mouse (although the charge wire is always plugged in :P)
and I use a fabric ergonomic mousemat (the ones with the wrist support.

Probably about same price as Koekie.

very true, just use something for a while and get used to it ;)
and if you still don't like it, you can buy an alternative

I have a standard microsoft infra-red mouse :roll: (sometimes use my brother's MX500 if it is on this pc!), and I don't use a mouse mat at all.

Ok , Thnx for answering . I see that you guys dont use expensive hardware at all . And assume that you play it well with yours .
I tried the Razorback mouse for 5 minutes , and thats way too short too give a good impression . But it felt not nice in those 5 minutes . The buttons where not on the wright places i used too , and the shape and weight of it wasn't feeling aswell not good . But i want too try the mousemat from Razorback , i think that will be a improvement . But want too know what other COD gamers think of it , before spending money(40 euro). But not found users of those here .

I thought you clanners used pro harware , but dont think now that it will make gaming a lot easier .

I have a trusty trust mouse too, cheapest optical i could find anywhere...works perfectly on this desk with no mousemat.
The real question is what is the question?

dont waste your money on an expensive mouse pad, it doesnt make that much of a difference. Also, dont buy a cordless mouse, they tend to lag a bit when you are playing games like CoD.

I have a rechargable mouse, that I just leave being charged by wire permanently :P

Although I agree with Soviet. Every so often the mouse does cut out. Get one with a wire, and then just make it so the wire has enough slack so that it doesnt get stuck or buy one of these (http://www.guru3d.com/review/mouse-bungee/)

;D

i've got a razer diamondback mouse - 1600dpi..i have it set at max in the razer software, and default sensitivity in cod. only thing that bothers me with the wire is when something is obstructing it, so it effects the mouse movement..but i wouldnt go near a cordless, i dont trust them. and i have a cheap gel mouse mat, i aint paying £30 for a piece of glass they say is so good for optical mice..bs :lol:

Well, my opinion is that a good mouse and a good mousemat, is absolutely worth the price. And for those of you who says they havent even tried a good mousemat, how can you say it's not worth buying it?
Personally I got the Logitech MX518 (1600dpi) and QPAD Mid-sense mousemat. Works excellent , and I got the sensitivity to 4 in CoD.
So go now and buy a quality mat :)
