Hey,
Similar to other thread.
Basically I am looking for a new mouse, but am not sure what to get.
Key info:
Maximum Price: £60
Will be used for FPS games (eg. COD/BF)
Gaming mouse is essential
Wired is prefered, as obviously the response times are normally better.
Must be fairly highly rated - no crap!
I am looking for a good mouse, with buttons on the side to set as certain things.
Suggestions?
Cheers
Bit over your price range but - http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B003CP0BH...SIN=B003CP0BHM Should be a very robust mouse.
Or the lower model of http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...0R35045172M068
Any reason you suggest those?Quote:

Again, why would you spend >£30 on a MOUSE?! It's not the hardware that makes you a better player! ;)
Oh I can play fine, it is when your keyboard isn't particularly responsive you get a problem. So I am just looking for a good keyboard, that is wired and easy to play with.Quote:

I bought this http://cgi.ebay.ie/Prestigio-3D-Sub-...item3f06a450b3 it's pretty useful and cheap. I have it about a year now, still works flawlessly
It is, at least in my case. Keyboards definitely not, but a good mouse will help quite a bit.Quote:

I recommend the G500
I know this is slitly off topic but can you buy a usb controller and play cod on the pc with that?
Yeah you can, but you would get raped. Seriously.Quote:

I know it's wireless but it's really reliable and not expensive!

Doesn't work - serousl difficult - controllers are nothing like as good as mouse for FPS - hence why I don't play FPS on my PS3 haha :) Thanks anyway :)Quote:

Are these the same mice..? I think they are just one is cheaper :P
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-910...7035063&sr=1-1
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-Gam...7035172&sr=1-2
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=KB-002-BZ is the one I use. It's extremely sensitive and precise, but you can turn the dpi down using the button behind the scroller or through the config software supplied with it.
(also has a comfortable ergonomic design)
The Razer Naga is really good, the one I've got.

Ive had a razer deathadder respawn for ages and hasnt had any faults
its a good size and you can program the buttons on the side and good mouse surface
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=KB-043-RA
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Razer-RZ0100.../dp/B00121EGU6
they are about 8 pounds cheaper here than the razer website

What games do you play because if he is interested in mostly FPS games I doubt he will use all the buttonsQuote:

5600dpi, mainly designed for MMOs but it can be REALLY useful for weapon swaps since the side buttons can clone the 1 to = keys or numpad if you want to assign them to something else. The accuracy is great too.
I generally avoid Logitech Gaming Series peripherals (I have the G15 keyboard), I think their build quality is shoddy.
I only play CoD 4 and Battlefield BC2 on pc, but the buttons come in handy.Quote:
