Help Me Buy a Mouse · DIGIT-ARC

Guys I want to buy a mouse. Primary concerns are ergonomics and gaming. Suggest me something for prolonged use. I have short-listed a few:-

1) RAZER ABYSSUS
2) Logitech MX518
3) Arctic M571 Laser
4) GIGABYTE GM-M6800

My budget is 1.2-1.3K. Please pour in the suggestions.

Another thing, is buying a 400-500 bucks Mousepad necessary for regular usage of say around 10-12 hours?

Logitech MX518 @1.2k

Abyssus will be my choice
and regarding ur Mouse pad
on which surface u r going to use this mouse?

My suggestions for both mouse and pad:

Razer Abyssus @1.375k <---Same as Piyush says.
Razer Kabuto Pad @0.57k

table top. plywood. the surface is not very smooth though, apparently after use of mouse without any mousepad.

mouse+pad = 1.6 - 1.7K

give me the best combo within this range...

then go for Gaurav's combo

Itwares is giving a combo of Rantopad H1 & MX518/Abyssus @ Rs. 1650/- plus 75/- shipping. How are Rantopad mats?

dunno about rantopad...
never heard...

ya me too.

skud i would suggest you get the mouse (and pad if you want) from the SMC links i gave.
i doubt they'll even charge for shipping for the tiny-sized order.

@ Gaurav

How is Razer Goliathus?

Its cool.

Razer Goliathus @0.875k

But really, I wouldn't know the difference between a normal and a gaming pad. Mine is PS/2 mouse and a generic pad and i still kick people's ass in Quake III multiplayer.

More than gaming I am bothered about the comfort and well-being of my hand and wrist. I will buy a pad if only it helps in the prolonged usage and ergonomics.

BTW, Razer Goliathus @ 500/- & Abyssus @ 1300/- from ITWARES plus shipping. That's almost 2K in total.

then go only for mouse now.
if you feel that the generic pad is not doing well then consider something.

^^yup
better idea

only problem is that i have to pay the shipping charges twice.

hi Razer Abyssus High Precision Mouse is one of the best gaming mouse and if u can pay a lil more around 200 Bucks u can get very awesome mouse pad razer kabuto.u can find all the details about other brands at one place from where i find this ratetorate.in.

Costlier than other sites. Thanks anyway.

Just go for the Abyssus mouse. Get a new pad once the generic one has worn out.....that'll be like...5-6 years later or more.

Read many comments....Ur budget is 1.2K.

And the thing is you are not going to buy a mouse pad.....So lazer mice are out of the question because on higher dpi settings...without a good mouse pad....Ur mouse will lag and will be inaccurate.

So its better to go with MX518 which is one of the best optical mouse and a long runner.

Has proven itself to be reliable.

Peace~~~!

The Razer Abyssus has 3500dpi sensor compared to MX518 1800dpi, but MX518 extra thumb buttons compared to Abyssus with 3 mouse button(1 click wheel). Its your choice

How do you hold your mouse? That's important. Check the razer site to know your grip.

And Abyssus 3500DPI version has very bad jittering issues on most pads. Don't buy it.
I would suggest MX518 of those. Its a little big and ugly. If you are a palm user or have large hand, then its good. The sensor is worse than Abyssus

If you can increase your budget get the Deathadder. Its has the same sensor the Abyssus has, but a firmware update can fix the jittering issue

I have a palm grip, but not a large hand. Increasing budget is not a problem provided there are benefits in long-time usage as stated earlier. Is DA better than MX518 is respect of ergonomics?

They are both palm. *I* think that Deathadder is more ergonomic than the MX518 (which is huge and bulky).
I suggest you go to a shop (or friend) and check out the "feel" of the two mice. It a preference thing.

After a long time...

Guys how's Razer Cyclosa bundle and what's the price?

its good and i think it is placed at 2k

That sounds good. Searching for some reviews...

PS. I think I will get Razer products at MD Computers.

Bought the Razer Cyclosa Bundle @ 2400+4% VAT from MD Computers. Thanks everybody for their valuable suggestions.
