Since I use a Model M with that true-age yellow tint, for a mouse I bought an ancient Microsoft mouse on eBay, and then replaced the insides with those from a brand-new Microsoft Laser Mouse.
Looks old, works new. Matches the Model M plastic perfectly! Was way easier to do than I expected.

Did you have to dremel the bottom of the older mouse to fit the new internals?
Potato pics attached. The potato has poor white balance; both the keyboard plastic and the mouse are much more yellow than they appear in the pictures.

Okay so you've used the original WMO. I thought you opened up a really old version, of a Microsoft Mouse that used a Mechanical Ball arrangement and removed the internal guts, then replaced it with the WMO internals. My fault for misinterpreting your description.

But seriously; I use the g9x, and I think I'll be extremely sad when I have to hunt for a new mouse because this is THE mouse for me.
Razer Deathadder 2013 version. I've had 3 DA's... and like 10 Microsoft Intelli 3.0 mice prior to my DA's. Any recommandations for a new mouse? I'm happy with my current one though, so I don't really care - but for all I know there might be a different mouse out there that would fit me better. It's for gaming/internet browsing purposes.

It's hard to recommend something if you just want something that fits you better, since we can't really know what you prefer. You might want to try something radically different, like an Abyssus, a Xornet, or something flat like a Func MS-3.

I found that the CM Storm Spawn had a similar feel in my hand to the G9X. I've been stocking up on both since I love both of them. But currently I'm using the Spawn on both my work and home computers.
I'd really like to try a trackball though.

what are the things on the right (blue) and the left? a notepad and a volume-controller?
ontopic: currently using a G400. i also own a zowie FK. both mice are among the best for fps games (which i play frequently) :j
Apple trackpad and Griffin Powermate, the only thing missing there is a Apple Aluminium keybohd
CM Storm Spawn at work and a Kensington Slimblade at home. I think I'm starting to really like trackballs.
I use a Logitech G100s atm, but having a hard time with the slippery sides when it's a bit hot.
is there any product especially made to help with this? like grip tape that isn't too thick or whatever?
any ideas?
thanks!
I really need a trackball with more buttons though. As far as I know theres the slimblade but the buttons are way too big.They're best pressed near the outer edge in the middle, it's not an issue at all. Only the switches could be better.
At work I use a trackpoint only. It is build in, in my right side of my Tipro board.

No love for the original Microsoft Intellimouse?Show Image(http://www.topdesignmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/1335.jpg)
It's one of the first mouse ever to use a rubberized scroll wheel and the one of the first "Palm" grip mice.
The one I prefer to use the most is the Steelseries Sensei (not the RAW edition, the original). It lets me have pretty insane sensitivity (about 11k CPI), with an option to have hardware in the mouse reduce that sensitivity when I am making very slow movements. Lets me fly around my dual screen setup without having to worry about precision when trying to only move in small increments.Show Image(http://static.pccasegear.com/images/62150(MSSENSEI)t2.jpg)
Do you know that that CPI is achieved through positive interpolation, which is just about the same concept as upscaling pictures/videos, which means, it's not really as accurate as a native DPI would be.
<snip>
The max DPI of the older version of the AVAGO 9500, which is Steelseries Sensei's sensor, is 5700 DPIs. Anything above that will contain higher amounts of jitter, smoothing and maybe even input lag and is just not recommendable.

Fair call, this makes sense if it is achieving it through interpolation like you say. Perhaps the Sensei is using some of that fancy gimmicky onboard processor to compensate? I've got other mice that run at around that 5500-6500 DPI range (a Saitek and a Razer) and don't notice any jitter, or lag, whatsoever with the Sensei by comparison.
Thanks for the info though, I didn't really think to investigate the difference between CPI and DPI.
i'm currently using the Steelseries Rival. love the thing.Welcome to GeekHack! :D

Have gone back to the ancient G500 simply because it's scroll-wheel is superior for my own personal usage.Roccat Kone Pure scroll wheel is my favourite. It's so nice.
Gave up on the G502 because it really is a small mouse, very thin and delicate like a super model on ice :p .
The original G500 is still fully functional and does everything you need it to do on the desktop without any fuss and above all else NO installation of Logitech Gaming Software required (still makes Logitech far better than Razer Corp).

Almost like you. For my home main rig, I use a m705 primarily. I have a m570 in the box, but debate whether to open it vs. sell it. I'm thinking of getting a couple trackballs, CST2545W-5W and one of the Kensingtons.
For work, I use a piece of s hit generic HP/Compaq roller ball. I also have an older Macbook Pro that I use with an Apple Pro Keyboard, HP USB piece of shi t mouse and Apple Trackpad (which I don't use too much).

Ahem......That's an early Logitech design made by them for HP.
I knew Logitech made decent mice in the past as well as today, how could you go wrong otherwise.
I am now using a Dell USB mouse.
I'm currently using the Zowie FK1 that I just go a few days ago. It's freakin' amazing
the avior was near-perfect, just should have been a teeeeny tiny bit lighter I think. and less fat booty... but I have a strange way of gripping, it seems.

At work: Intellimouse Explorer 3.0Steal that IME 3.0 back!
At home: Zowie FK1
My white EC2 eVo broke down, so I bought a FK1, but then I realized I needed the shape of the eVo so I bought a new black EC2 eVo and that is the mouse I'm currently using. =)Aww sorry to hear that the FK1 didn't work out :/.
Steal that IME 3.0 back!
Dell M-UVDEL1. It's the OEM ambidextrous mouse with silver buttons and dark blue shell that came with Dell OptiPlex desktops for years. Made by Logitech, it's well built. If you look inside, there's a 15g piece of metal screwed to the top shell; unscrew it and voila! the mouse is suddenly 5g lighter than WMO (which weighs about 75 g). My only complaint is that the sensor sucks (400 cpi + acceleration; prediction on par with A3050).
Now, compare that to Zowie FK, for example. Long story short, Zowie wants you to pay €50 premium for better tracking, ****ty coating and customer "service" (http://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/2f3mb1/zowie_customer_service_is_abysmal_even_with_a/). Pathetic.
I gave it a try after years, because it doesn't hurt to change grips every now and then.
g9x... and it's terribly slow on os x
i really don't want to go the apple magic anything route but none of these mice look promising on this ****ing OS.
I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Logitech G5. It used to be my favourite mouse (and probably still is) until it kicked the bucket several years ago. I cried.
for most of us really picky users, the G5 isn't a good mouse due to its sensor. it has a bit of built-in somewhat random acceleration which makes it very inconsistent for fast FPS games.

It still is at my place. Have a working G5 connected up to a PC for over 6 years now, only downside it's old style scroll wheel is a pisser, because I am firmly addicted to the G500 with it's free-scrolling wheel, the best invention by Logitech ever. Pity they don't apply it on every mouse or that any other manufacturer can make it for their own devices ::) .

I use a Logitech M500 for my iMac and I love it. It's way better than any other mouse I've tried with OS X. I can't believe Apple is still churning out those Mighty Mouses. They are such CRAP! Almost as bad as the 1st generation iMac puck mouse.

There's a similar thread for keyboards (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=45475.0), so why not about pointing devices as well?LUGULAKE Vertical Ergonomic Optical Mouse, Wired, Right Hand - feells to me much more ergonomic than regular mice (I had many) and is amazingly inexpensive, while highly rated. Just checked Amazon for its proper name and find out that it's on sale today for just $9.99. I have purchased this mouse and the Anker® CE100 Ergonomic Optical USB Wired Vertical Mouse 1000 / 1600 DPI, 5 Buttons for $13.99 so I could compare them and returned the latter, even though it looks rather cool, better than the LUGULAKE in my opinion, but functioned much worse.
I'll start:
- CH Products DT225 (USB) and Kensington SlimBlade trackballs at one setup (slimblade for scrolling and fast movements, DT225 for accuracy and wonderful Japanese omrons)
- bare Logitech G9x at the other one
Yup. It's not flawless though, the range is a bit on the short side (3 meters) and I really don't like its scroll encoder, but yeah, it's surely the best wireless mouse ever made up to date.

Mainly using it for work and some WoW, and it's absolutely amazing. I wouldn't use it for more hardcore gaming though, I don't really trust wireless yet for things like FPS

I want a logitech g702s. They need to hurry up and release one.
Is that on the Performance mode? If so.... ugh, that's terrible.
Yeah it is...I want a logitech g702s. They need to hurry up and release one.
If they do so, it needs a few changes from the G700S:
1. Needs to weight a little bit less (at least 20 grams).
2. Battery needs to last at least 5x more. For god's sake, make it use one of those "new" miraculous batteries we all see on the news every god damn week and never on our peripherals, they may even charge us more for that (see how much the R.A.T 7 and the Mamba cost and people still buy them?).
But PLEASE, don't make us have to recharge it every 2-3 days.
I'm using a Zowie FK with the guts of the FK1.
The 602s has amazing battery life and the 502 proteus has all the bells and whistles. It wouldn't take a lot of effort for them to release a wireless gaming/productivity mouse that fit the 700 slot.

CM Storm Alcor. It's a lovely piece of hardware, but the firmware/configuration could be much better.

You know whats funny? I went out found a 1010 on amazon for $25 shipped. I ended up buying it knowing that it wouldn't live up to replace my fps mouse. I actually love the damn little thing, I just wish the mouse hertz could at least hit 500hz instead of the 315hz it keeps hitting. I know the 2020 is actually somewhat usable for desktop and rts duty. They all hit $100+ and I just can't justify that. I'm thinking about opening her up and seeing if I can swap in the guts from a Zowie MiCO. CM Storm Xornet is on the way though, maybe that will satisfy me.

No but there are a few things they could change to make it better like more dpi options and the ability to change polling rate. But other than that I don't see much they could improve. Maybe accuracy?
We are planning on just releasing the info on the new PCB on our website probably in the next few days.
We are currently selling the new ones now but getting one depends on where you buy the L-Trac from and whether they have bought L-Trac's from us in the past few weeks or not, I suggest asking the seller and maybe requesting one. You will be able to tell if the trackball has the new PCB by the "R2" next to the Model # on the label on the bottom of the trackball, all L-Trac's with the new PCB have the "R2".

On CST's website they are hinting (https://twitter.com/CST_USA/status/535178545765814272) about an upgraded PCB/Laser for the L-Trac. Do you know anything about this?
No but there are a few things they could change to make it better like more dpi options and the ability to change polling rate. But other than that I don't see much they could improve. Maybe accuracy?
Here is the response I got:Quote from: email from CSTWe are planning on just releasing the info on the new PCB on our website probably in the next few days.
We are currently selling the new ones now but getting one depends on where you buy the L-Trac from and whether they have bought L-Trac's from us in the past few weeks or not, I suggest asking the seller and maybe requesting one. You will be able to tell if the trackball has the new PCB by the "R2" next to the Model # on the label on the bottom of the trackball, all L-Trac's with the new PCB have the "R2". Please let us know if you have any other questions.

Guess I got the new one, mine has R2 stamped after the model #. I wonder what they changed?
Newly Designed PCB and Upgraded Laser Sensor Details
Our Newly Designed PCB and Upgraded Laser Sensor offers the same level of reliability and control that L-Trac users have come to expect over the years. All the same individual L-Trac models will continue to be available and they will all have the new PCB and Laser Sensor. All L-Trac models will continue to offer the same CPI (800, 1600, 400) which is still the highest of any trackball available today. New features are also available and include:
- Field Programmability
- Improved Precision Tracking
- The ability to change out the solid black ball for any other colored 2.25” ball (the same size as a regulation billiard ball). (Note: under standard operation any colored ball will work but the solid black ball has the best performance)
The new L-Trac's are Available Now, to see if you have one simply check the label on the bottom of the trackball and if there is an “R2” next to the model number then you have an L-Trac with the New PCB and Laser Sensor.

---------------------------------
BTW, the new Naga 2014 surprised me a lot. All of the flaws I had mentioned on my previous Naga review (Naga Molten) were fixed, plus there are many enhancements on build quality as well. Better plastic, better internals, better coating, and surprisingly, the new Philips Twin Eye PLN 2034 is not only a good sensor (unlike the previous ones), but it may as well be the best laser sensor ever used on a mouse, the LOD is just insane when properly adjusted, there's no Z-Axis problems, no durability problems, no tracking problems, doesn't seems to have Dynamic DPI Scaling as far as I've seen..
I relubed the bearings in my CST L-Trac with a thick lube and it is now buttery smooth and feels a bit heavier to move the ball. I think I'm in love.

AMAZON won't deal with any payments other than CREDIT CARDS on their own dodgey website. If they offered Paypal then it would be nice because NO ONE in the known universe will ever know my credit card details.
Over too many years retailers lose your credit details to smart hackers, yet they never disclose the break in and loss of this data. Hence I only find out when some scumbag in Venezuela is paying for porn sites in America and sending me the bills >:D .
Since using Paypal, have never again received any more 'suspect' payments out of my accounts without me knowing about it :thumb: .
Currently using the EVGA X5. Removed a bit of the insides to lower the weight and plastidipped it since I really dislike gloss. Nice mouse, pretty happy with it.
Here at my gf apartment i use a Sentey Whirlwind it is cheap and work pretty good. Not as good as my Logitech g400 which i use at home, but for the money is more than enough. I pick it up because of the size, is a big mouse and very confortable.Show Image(http://www.webklan.com/cosas/desk_m.jpg)

Today I picked up a Logitech G302 Daedalus Prime (http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/moba-gaming-mouse-g302).
I really like it so far, it's not tall and is a perfect shape for my fingertip-grip. I don't really play MOBAs besides HoTS, but I was looking for a nice optical mouse that wasn't too big and had good customer support behind it. I've never had any issues with Logitech so naturally I decided to pick it up. :thumb:

Trust me you won't ever find another G9x being made by Logitech now.
The G303 is exactly the same as the G302 just with a 3366 sensor, hence enjoy the miserable shape of their latest Star Wars mouse from that evil empire >:D .
Looks pretty usable imo, Used to small mice and apparently the clicks are amazing. I'm more concerned about the inwards angled sides than the spaceship-yness of it. I still have an extra NIB g9x in-case the current one decides to crapout.

First off the G302/303 isn't anything like the G9 (FACT), also the Corsair M45 is considerably larger than the humble G9 (FACT), so that only leaves the Storm Spawn which is slightly smaller than the G9.
If you love the G9 simply too much then stay with it because none of the current manufacturers have released anything like the G9 shape just yet.

Haha, have to agree with you there. Just going off of my own experience having owned those.
Nothing quite exactly like it obviously as the G9's shell had a unique feel. I can certainly recommend Spawn as I love that mouse, but I didn't really enjoy G303 as much.
Gave up on mice due to increasing pain and nobody making a mouse very close to what I'd want. Now using CST L-Trac.

My next refurb just arrived today. $15 Logitech G5. A bit rough around the edges and the scroll wheel sticks but nothing that a good cleaning won't fix (hopefully) :)

My RAT 5 is pretty awful. I'm waiting out until the Ducky Secret comes out before I buy a replacement though.
still using microsoft wom ...I do keep one of these on my desk for the odd occasion I do need a different mouse (or when someone uses my desk). I swapped the left/right click for some Cherry microswitches I pulled from a G80-11900 which feel much nicer than the stock WMO switches (waaaay heavier though). I need to do something with the middle click as well but that's a little harder to replace as all the microswitch I can find don't fit.
I still haven't pulled the trigger on a Zowie FK-1, because I can't find any for much below $100 :(
Still worth it? Any Aussies know where I could potentially find a better price?

Personally, I would say yes. I've currently got a Zowie AM, Intellimouse 3.0, SteelSeries Sensei, and a Logitech G5 just sitting, all of which have been replaced by the FK1. It's been the only mouse I've been able to stick with since the Sensei. The build quality is fantastic, it fits my hand and grip perfectly. I really have no complaints about it.

I've been using literally this same exact one for about 3 years and it's always really reliable, fits right in my hand, scrolls well, tracks well (I do a lot of Illustrator and Photoshop stuff), and I like how light and easy to move around it is.
In the time that I've had it, I've had two different much more expensive Logitech mice die at home -- one of them just started registering double-clicks instead of single-clicks, which was of course a disaster. I ended up buying another one of these cheap-ass Dells (for like $10 on Amazon, I think), and it's been working great ever since. I also have a Magic Trackpad, which is nice for gestures, but very tiring (for me anyway) if I use it for very long at all.
Believe me, I'm as baffled as anyone else. This mouse should be terrible, but it's totally not.

I got it working to a point where it was somewhat usable. With acceleration I could move a cursor across my 13" screen in only a couple of swipes. Plus when rolling slow I was still be able to aim at buttons.
Unfortunately, diagonal movement is awful with this set-up.
The ball rests on four rollers. When they spin, they drive hall-effect sensors for up, down, left and right directions. The ball resists rolling against two rollers at once. It prefers one axis rather than a diagonal movement. I tried a couple similar parts to make it work (including gutting a mighty mouse for its scroll ball). Nothing seemed to work well enough.
All this work makes me need a programmable mouse so my new project is a boring thumbball.

Oh, and thank you
I used a gen. 1 Death Adder for years. I liked the feel and functionality (except when Razer Synapse would log me out at random times). The mouse of course got grimy after a while no matter how many times I cleaned it, so I recently replaced it with a Sensei Raw. I'm liking the Steelseries software more than Razer's, but I shouldn't have gone with a symmetrical mouse (I probably should have gone with the Rival). I'm missing the ergonomics that I used to have so I'm going to try a Mionix Naos 7000.
I'm currently using a Logitech G502, but I'm not a fan of the thumb button. I was using a Steelseries Rival, but its rubber grips melted into a pile of goo... otherwise I would have gotten another one.

i have a zowie FK2 as well, but the small mouse cramps my hands. unfortunately the DA is too big for my liking. and i'm not really a fan of the G400 shape either.. :D
(man, life is rough!)
back to the wired g403 for now!
for my needs it's probably the best mouse out there, quality-wise. there are a bunch more fantastic mice, but those mice have features i have no need for (wireless, extra buttons, free scroll wheel, etc), and these features just end up getting in the way of my use.
it's weird to grab another mouse just to immediately feel this step down in build quality: mushy-feeling clicks, slippery texture, lousy scroll wheel, stiff cable, high weight, etc.
unfortunately the shape of the g403 is not that great for me, so i'll probably switch to something else (again) when i get tired of "making it work".
Avior's side buttons rattle a little bit. The shell is "flat" ambidextrous, thus there's a bit too much hand pronation at times (thus multiple pointing devices). Configuration options are underwhelming, hence I've only swapped left/right button actions… I miss Roccat's EasyShift. Luckily, I finally have a Kova Pure in the mail (after my previous attempts at buying it failed, due to being out of stock or the vendor messing up).So, I've been using the Kova Pure/2016 for a while.
I've been playing with rotary encoders these days and set up etch-a-sketch pointing device.

The new Gx03 line-up appears to be more of a complete redesign than an incremental update. I haven't really checked, but G403, G603 and G703 look like the exact same mouse only with different internal features (mainly wireless). OTOH, the old G700(s) had a very different shape (closer to MX Performance), though, and so did G602 (not to mention G600) with more thumb buttons.
That's cool and stuff, unless one wants a different shape or a different set of features (such as the extra buttons on G600 or G602).
I'm currently using a mouse (Kone Pure Color) with A9080 (iirc) and don't care at all, although I have the PWM-3310 version (Kone Pure Military) in the closet; I also have no interest in upgrading to the Owl's Eye. I don't even know what sensitivity setting I'm using off the top of my head.
No sensor improvement matters, if it isn't noticeable.
Conspicuous consumption (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conspicuous_consumption)
Since Release i've switched my MX Performance for the MX Ergo. Really happy with that. The lack of the free flow scrollwheel is not that great, but scrolling with the trackball itself is nearly as good.

So I'm pretty excited, someone in China developed a straight clone of the G9/G9x with a centered 3360:

I actually found out about this a few weeks ago but it was no longer for sale and I was really disappointed, but luckily they've decided to do a second batch so I immediately grabbed one. I've owned a lot of mice over the years and with the precision grip it's still the only mouse that I can go back to and immediately feel comfortable with (other mice I have to get reacquainted with first).

Apple Trackpad is probably the best for general purpose to me, I've struggled to switch off to Windows/Linux distro due to their lack of seamless experience as the trackpad on macOS.
I also have the Wacom CTH480 which is also very good for handwriting, sketching, and photoshop, but it's far from good as the trackpad in general use. Otherwise, in the worst case, I think Apple has educated me so well on their products. :-\
For occasional gaming, I have Steelseries rival 100 which is nothing fancy but generally very good.

Man that's huge. What's the biggest mouse without a trackball, because that sounds like my style!
Welp, guess who's about to spend $40 on ebay for one new in box?
The tan monstrosity label fits the Model M I use...
I do need a scroll wheel, but luckily the first optical mice were Microsoft's Intellimouse brand, which all had that scroll wheel, and the designs of the early ones are essentially identical to some of the later cheap optical mice Microsoft sold, so if we look at this bad lad right here

that's basically Intellimouse 1.0, but made a little bit later at a bargain price.
Okay now someone help me. This thing has 400 DPI. How can I use it and not fly all over my desk when I use the mouse?
EDIT: Ahh, figured it out with some registry edits after setting my current mouse to 400 DPI. This is the way to go!
That looks pretty good as well. Oh well! I've got some decent Razer mice, however overpriced the rest of their crap is, so if I don't like the one I just bought I'll go back to the ole deathadder.
What IS gaming grade by the way?
The grip tape is starting to wear out... i peeled it off and it left some sticky residue off my mouse

My guess would be some Goo Gone. It usually does the trick for adhesives
If it's just residue from tape Goo Gone should work but if it's that soft coating that gets sticky over time, that's a whole other beast. That requires the hard stuff like WD40 or rubbing alcohol.The grip tape is starting to wear out... i peeled it off and it left some sticky residue off my mouse

thanks man
Kensington SlimBlade. Just got it minutes ago. I'll update in about a week, give it some time to see if I like really it or not but so far, I like it. The scrolling will take some time to get use to but I have a feeling I'm going to love it after a few days.Show Image(https://i.imgur.com/aXoOTsK.jpg)
