Title: Looking for a new mouse
Post by: Koden on Thursday, February 25, 2016, 07:55:35 AM
As the title says, so it is. My old Logitech m100 has come through years of work and games, but its now showing its age and basically, its not even tracking properly anymore.
So, I'm looking for a new one! I have seen a few reviews, and I'm oriented for a compact unit (I don't like bulky, heavy stuff). I've seen a few reviews about the main Razer/Steelseries models, and I can't decide between the Kana v2, the Sensei Raw (which seems to have build quality issues) and the Abyssus (which doesn't have sidebuttons, tho).

Any suggestions? I've also looked up the Deathadder btw, but its kind of pricey. Maybe ill be able to find some discount on Amazon.de, gotta check.
P.s. its kind of obvious I don't care about built-in macros and such stuff. I always used to play with very basic mice.

I can sell you my magicmouse, it's shaped like a squeezed bun and once you roll your middle button it never stops rolling. Best gaming mouse everrr

Well, I just bought Abyssus and have been very satisfied with it. If you're looking for a basic mouse then the Abyssus might be what you've been looking for. Sharp Razer quality with a nice appearance!

I do like the Abyssus a lot, but the lack of buttons is a fair bit of a drawback to me. I could and would definitely use the buttons to bind the buttons to various functions, it would be a great deal to be able to drop flashes/nades or spot enemies without having to use another key on the keyboard.

My G mouse has that as an option or a three line scroll

I've found out about this one, the Mionix Avior http://www.overclock.net/t/1469836/mionix-avior-7000-first-impressions-review (http://www.overclock.net/t/1469836/mionix-avior-7000-first-impressions-review)

The name is funny, but it seems well built, which is what I like the most, and it has nicely curved shapes, with no sharp edges. Hmmm.

haha, I brought a Logitech M100 days ago.

Check "Razer Naga" or "Razer Naga Hex", same price range on amazon.de as the "MIONIX AVIOR 7000".

Logitech M-U007 is the one I have now. All good, 2 extra buttons on the flank I'm not using for AA though

If it's a Logitech, it can't be bad (or at the very least, it can't be atrocious).

Nothing wrong with the G500

They dont sell it anymore, at least here I think. There's a g500s variant that costs about 100 euros, but that's too pricey. The mionix 7000 costs about 63 euros, shipping included (and it's reported to be nicely built, and perform great). The Kone Xtd is kind of pricey aswell, it is a great mouse no question asked, but I prefer something more understated.

Did you checked the Chinese webshops as well ? Last time i checked the deathadder was about 22 euro's / 25 US Dollar. Ofc genuine

Hmm Chinese online resellers...why do I happen to think it seems shady stuff to say the least? :p I'm checking tho.
Edit: I checked on gearbest (I guess that was the name?) and prices seem lower at 45 $ but I wouldn't still buy stuff from the other side of the planet because of warranty (which kind of warranty does it have, Chinese, worldwide, etc? what happens if it breaks down? Do I have to pay shipping fees to it get back to them on my own?).

I've also noticed that Mionix itself sells the stuff from Sweden across Europe, with *free* shipping costs. And it ships with FedEx :) .

Yea, warranty is a problem, since eventhough it is 12 months, you gotta ship it back to the seller and pay for this. So when its broken, besides dead on arrival, you gotta buy a new mice. Look at this shop. They advertise that its possible to register the razer product, so it is genuinehttp://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Razer-Deathadder-3500DPI-gaming-mouse-Brand-new-Fast-free-shipping-Without-Retail-packing/1346150494.html?spm=2114.010208.3.10.vHNTv4&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201644_3_505_506_503_504_301_10020_502_10001_10002_10017_10010_10005_10006_10011_10003_10021_10004_10022_10009_10008_10018_10019,searchweb201560_1,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_6451&btsid=35f2ff29-0273-46a4-becb-e85bea797c88 (http://nl.aliexpress.com/item/Razer-Deathadder-3500DPI-gaming-mouse-Brand-new-Fast-free-shipping-Without-Retail-packing/1346150494.html?spm=2114.010208.3.10.vHNTv4&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7,searchweb201644_3_505_506_503_504_301_10020_502_10001_10002_10017_10010_10005_10006_10011_10003_10021_10004_10022_10009_10008_10018_10019,searchweb201560_1,searchweb1451318400_-1,searchweb1451318411_6451&btsid=35f2ff29-0273-46a4-becb-e85bea797c88)

Well, at least it can be registered but I would still not buy there. I'm already going for a Mionix mouse.

I've bought from aliexpress many times, never had a problem they haven't been able to fix. Have had some issues, but I've always got a refund (only once a partial one).
With that said, I don't think any of those items have warranty.

And if you've already decided, it doesn't matter anyway :)

Yap, I just ordered it...Mionix is a really small swedish company, somewhat "close" to you :D btw, they seem to have grown up a lot in just a couple years.

Yep, +/- 200 hours of gamming - I bought it relatively recently and I love it already.
But I see that you've already decided ... you don't know what you're missing...

Ive checked their site as well. Kinda pricy as well (50 to 100 euro's). Which one have you exactly bought?

I bought the Castor, the avior costs the same but it has a bit bigger body shell. They're pricey indeed, but I can assure you the deatheadder doesnt come much cheaper than 50/55 euros, at least from Amazon.it .

Unfortunately the Kone Xtd is quite bigger compared to the mouse I use right now. The Castor instead is closer in size (and weight) to my old Logitech, and it also costs less. As I said tho, the Xtd still looks as a solid great looking mouse with neat features.
