Even the Logitech MX518 has problems, and we still consider it to be a very good mouse. The M6800 is otherwise a very good mouse for its price.

The link given by OP, the GB one would cost just 900 bucks, all inclusive. Apparently MX518 is costlier, but definitely it's the better one.

@doomgiver:

Please post your budget.

budget is 500-700. cant spend any more
no logitech please, its waay out of budget. either way, if i had the money, logitech would have been a no-brainer, and i'd not have created a thread :p


hmm, the comments in erodov thread are not very encouraging.

alright, im open to suggestions.

Go with Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse, should cost around 400-500/-(do not buy the cheap one @ 200/-). I had played with this mouse for 3 yrs straight without any issues(and I torture my mice), this is the mouse that comes with microsoft basic keyboard and mouse combo, try to get the mouse separately, or get the combo and sell the kb off.

If not, get any logitech mouse @ 500-700/-(basic mose).

I'll post a link of the microsoft mouse asap.

This one: TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!

This one is a bit costly, its the old model, this one is a bit slower(you can speed it up from within windows), but very reliable, I used this for 3yrs straight: TheITWares - One Stop for all Gizmos!Microsoft Optical USB Black Mouse P58-00021 - TheITWares
Its EOL'ed though.

no, i dont like that mouse, its buttons are horrible.
too much travel, and too large an area to properly press.

and they have to be filled with weights to make them work properly.

yeah, they are totally accurate after you properly weight them and coat the reflector lens with black paint, but i've always found the buttons to be the weak point. if the buttons were better, i'd buy them without a second thought

That mouse alone costs Rs.500 where as i bought the KB combo for Rs.600. Its quite shocking.

Though i dont like its clicking sound but believe me its the lightest mouse i have ever used and also feels quite comfortable on hand. I guess its the lightest one, no other mouse will be lighter than it.

The GIGABYTE GM-M6800 looks to be the best for a lefty.
