What's your favorite pointing device?

[keyboardlover]

Tasty too!

My favorite mouse by far for both desktop and laptop:

Razer Orochi


Also digging my Wacom Intuos 3.

middle finger?
on a touchpad or a touchscreen?

I think he means that... not unlike a 9 year old unaware of it's terrible meaning in US culture, uses his middle finger to actually point at things. We'll wait until he's older, or pissed somebody off, to correct him because we don't want him to know the reason why it's wrong.

Not unlike that 9 year old, I can only imagine he'd use that knowledge for evil.

The 3.5g sensor if I understand it is magnitudes better than the 3G. Unless they changed the shape they didn't break anything.

The 3.5g sensor is very poor in comparison to the 3g sensor (look it up on any forum....ESR for example). Jitters, acceleration on cloth pads where the 3g was near perfect. All because casual gamers think super high dpi = better.

Probably passable for high sensitivity players though. But truly a broken mouse for me.

Actually, krakoff described it as being the other way aruond, speaking poorly of the 3g sensor for the same reasons.

The mouse I have the fondest memories of was my first mouse.

Mouse on left below:


I don't recall mine being labeled Genius, but it might have been.   It's been about 20 years...

These days my favorite is my Logitech G500 mouse.   The shape and feel are perfect for me.





I have never been able to use alternative pointing devices effectively.   Trackballs, touch pads, trackpoint joysticks, etc, None of them work for me.  It has to be a mouse.

3.5g sensor issues can be fixed with a firmware update. But with the abyssus it's not possible due to not having the SROM memory chip to flash the mouse.

And I'm sure with the open-source version of the S3888; the ADNS-3090 avago probably fixed the issues.

I really like the performance in the Lachesis.

The CEO of Razer said it was better?!?!??!!? it must be then

edit:  @ Arc'xer yeah I updated them both with lastest firmware and still had small staircasing on cloth pads which I want to use. After doing a little searching on ESR loads of others were still having the same problem so they were RMA'd. From my understanding it works near perfect now on most hard mats which I'm not a fan of.

Well he's the CEO of Razer so of course he's going to say the newer model is better.

3.5g sensor issues can be fixed with a firmware update..

I still got no joy from the latest firmware. Had a quick look on a few forums and many were still having the same problems on cloth pads. Out of the box it was unusable, with the latest update it was OK but I was still getting small staircasing like many others on ESR. I understand it works near flawless on hard pads but I'm a man of the cloth.

I am using the logitech wireless mouse when travelling. Really convinient and reliable. I droped this mouse so many times and it is still working fine.

[tapk69]

any gaming logitech mouse is good , i have an old G5 (works like new with 5+ years) , will probably upgrade to a G500 or a R.A.T.7 ...

For gaming i have no doubt Logitech is the best , but depends on each person and the use they give it

[SpAmRaY]

I'm very partial to my Logitech G700s, I'm not sure where to go from here. I'm sure by the time I need another mouse logitech will have a newer (hopefully improved) version out.

we both know you weren't posting here just to tell us about your mouse... )

I've just seen this thread, and even though it was started in 2007, I still have to say that the dark gray Logitech Trackman in the original post is my #1 favorite.  If I knew they'd be very hard to find later (like the IBM Ms I love), I would have got a lot more of them.

[LarsMarkelson]

It would be: Zowie FK with G302 clicks. I loved loved loved my Zowie FK during the time I used it, but the clicks were too hard and may have injured my finger, heh heh. Amazing shape and feel though for a claw grip user.

I'm a fan of the Logitech G700s (current mouse). The graphics are kind of cheesy, but it gets the job done and no problems.
