Hellu. I'm looking to get a new mouse for my computer, specifically for this game, so what do you recommend? Price range doesn't matter, I just want a good quality mouse, no need for all the fanzy illuminations, and no wireless either. I was thinking Logitech's G-series, what do you think?

To make things easier:

• What mouse do you currently use
• What mouse do you recommend
• What mouse do you recommend for Dragon Age specifically 

General info about my use:

• Right handed (small hand size)
• Roleplaying games for the most part
• Palm or fingertip mouse, both is fine as long as it fit nicely.
• Extra buttons are fine too, but not overwhelming

Mice recommended by the community:

• Ankher
• Logitech G400
• Logitech G500
• Logitech G700
• Logitech MX518
• Razer Taipan
• Razer Taipan Expert Ambidextrous
• Razer Naga
• Razer Deathadder
• Razer Mamba
• R.A.T 5
• Roccat Kone XTD
• Roccat Tyon
• Roccat Kova

That's what I have been using for a decade.   I even have a new one still in the box ready for when my current mouse goes kaput.

Razer Naga.

Since you didn't specify, I'm assuming you're right handed and do not require an anbidextreous design? What do you play most, games of this nature or are there any MMO or RTS' that might require a lot of extra buttons? Do you prefer a palm or fingertip mouse?

The more specific you are the more we can help you. If you're not that concerned about all that, you're probably on the right track with the Logitech; good all around mouse.

Sorry about that. I added a bit info at the top.

[Serenade]

Razer Naga.

Seems like a numeric mouse, so probably not.

Hm, what mouse? seems like you missed out on a sentence or a image?

 I wouldn't recommend logitech. Mine broke after a year. I opened it up and noticed a serious design flaw; the cord is kinked inside the mouse and will eventually break after extensive use. Quality, yeah right.

 

Ankher is new to the scene. They got a sweet looking gaming mouse, its cheaper then the big brands, and carries great looks and performance.

 

EDIT: meant logitech, not razor.

Sorry, I am using the Logitech Gaming Mouse G500. 

 

Can't copy/paste on these forums, but just type G500 gaming in at Newegg.com and you can see it.

Razer Taipan 8k

 

Razer Tiamat 7.1

 

Razer BlackWidow

 

In 2015 your mouse choices are fairly easy. The criteria I use is simple, software, read, and features.

 

 - With all major brands they have created software "suites" which are to push you into a trio of peripherals. This actually works because mixing brands now means you have to run 2 or more full suites. I run through the quality of features and impact of bloatware suites to make my choice.

 

- Laser read, DPI is a measurement relating to physical movement translating to pixels. 8000 DPI is stating simply that the laser can read and translate 8000 pixels from 1 inch of mouse movement. While you don't need the full sensitivity range of a high read mouse it's a definite plus having a fast and dependable laser to capable of such things.

 

- Mouse ergonomics play into consideration. If you have large hands or chubby fingers you will enjoy the palm grip of a Logitech mouse, where Razer is known for their cupped fingertip aiming. Its an advanced thing having a lot to do with trick stops and precision planting... fancy re-centering techniques and the like.

 

- In the end I have evaluated all 3 peripherals and made a choice for razer Taipan 8k DPI. This decision was made because of a head set that would use the same suite. The Tiamat 7.1 headset is the only commercially available true 7.1 headset. You will need a sound card that is also 7.1 without any virtualization.  Virtual is the red flag meaning false and faked with software.

 

An added note... A professional grade gaming mouse pad is not a gimmick. It will greatly improve your performance by eliminating read errors and add an air hockey smoothness. It's important to clean the pad with cool water (they warp and melt easily) and the bottom of the mouse regulary. I can get an average of 4k hours out of a single pad by keeping it clean.

 

- I also picked a mechanical keyboard from razer without any extra usb functionality. No lcd no touchscreen bull****. All that stuff fails in practice and is senseless reason for windows to not sleep properly and for initialization problems... Just a plain badass mechanical 1000Hz keyboard. More expensive options are just layered crap over quality function. That's why I see nearly everything I recommend turns to a top seller. I know what I like and what's needed without any other influence. That gains respect over the years.

 

In closing... the G500 is a damn fine mouse. It would come in an easy 2nd and the main reason why I didn't stay with it. (3 years still working fine) is the other peripherals. Logitech refuses to design a quality headset. USB is an awful bottom of the barrel solution for sound, especially when poling high rates on other devices.

• Right handed
• Roleplaying games for the most part
• No idea what a palm or fingertip mouse is, but both is fine, probably? As long as it fit nicely.
• Extra buttons are fine, but not overwhelming like those numeric mouse
   

A palm mouse is one your whole hand rests on, generally for large movements, not fine. A fingertip mouse is generally smaller, the heal of your Palm rests on the mouse pad and only a portion of your hand rests on the mouse (fingertips) making for lighter, quicker and more detailed small movements (sniping, headshots).

Logitech MX518 - excellent mouse.

 

I'd recommend anything by Logitech, to be honest.

heres info on the logitech design flaw

https://forums.logit...ing/td-p/637106

 

Youtube shot of the kinked portion of the cord on the g9x, which was the logitech mouse I owned.

 

I just think they are poorly engineered mice for the money. They are great when they work, but don't expect them to last past the 1 year warranty.

[abisha]

R.A.T 5 or higher.

http://www.cyborggam...m/prod/rat5.htm

 

it's most advanced software you can get each button can be "macro" or keybound anyway you like.

and the mouse it self for my opinion even looks rater awesome.

also it's can be adjusted into weight if needed.

[mLIQUID]

scripting buttons is what hackers want... besides you can do that in Logitech... gross a would be hacker. any self-respecting pc player is one command per key. Like a MF boss. you can quote me on that one.

Unlike mine, which has lasted.

 

And you could do a lot worse than get a Logitech gameboard, although this dude has a video of one them as well, I imagine...

Looks like there are no "self-respecting" PC players at all, because every time you click your mouse = 2 commands. For example, left mouse click = WM_LBUTTONDOWN and then WM_LBUTTONUP. Boss like you should know that.

[mLIQUID]

splitting hairs aren't we... sounds like somebody needed macros for this game. Why I won't touch an mp here... useless bag of no skill. Use your casio soundbank and call yourself pro... it's funny. I'm not going to waste time on terrible lifeless players. I developed reflexes and true skill over my time on pc.

[Serenade]

The problem I can see myself in is that my hands aren't that big, they're kind of small actually for the average. Does anyone have any personal use with a Logitech Proteus Core or the Hyperion Fury? Also will posting my hand measurement help?

[Phonantiphon]

Careful people, we got a badass over here.

Umm If you have smaller hands and mostly play rp or strategy games I'd go with the razer naga. It has a lot of buttons and keeps that small form factor. If you don't see yourself using all the buttons on the thumb then I would just get a plain old death adder. Trouble with this game and others like it is they put commands out of reach of your left hand... So if you want to stay focused and fast you have to use mouse buttons to compensate.

 

That mouse pic is hilarious, but oh so true. I was around when people would blow your mind with a 2 button ball mouse and 12 inches of felt mouse pad in cs 1.1 Kids today want 1 button Mozart without putting their time in. They have their hacks ready before the game finishes dl'ing.

Heh, I like that. But I'll stick with my Logitech thanks. I wouldn't want a Microsoft mouse like that because I am not a thousand years and I don't read the Daily Mail...

But I do agree, some of them have a really stupid shape and FAR too many buttons them to be remotely practical.

If you need that custom buttons get a gameboard for left hand, not a mouse with them on.

I really liked the Razer Imperator but unfortunately it wasn't as durable as I had hoped. ME3 killed it. Didn't get another Razer but the Roccat Kone XTD, instead, after a long search. It has weights if you want to make it heavier, top buttons and thumb buttons, etc. It's a palm grip mouse with a smooth rubberised coating which feels amazing against your hand and doesn't give you a sweaty palm (not to me, at least). The coating also doesn't wear off, like said on some sites. The coating in my mouse is still perfect. I simply love it to bits. Oh, and I too have small hands.

I have a g500 for this game. you should look at my profile for my binding tutorial.. I play with no hud and I need every button on my mouse.

Sounds very nice actually.

I'ved updated the OP with your recommendations and I will take a look on all of them. If you boys & girls have more recommendations don't be shy to post them here for me to check out.
