Recommend a gaming mouse

Question

Iron

Of the main requirements - color indication of the permission switch, stable operation on linux. Preferably not too big. I play Nexuiz, a fast shooter based on the quake engine.

From what it was - some kind of A4 X7, I don’t remember exactly which one - I really liked it, but the wheel was quickly covered.

Now I use the G400 Logitech - I noticed a backlash at the left button with an annoying clatter, if you move your finger + there is no light indication for permission. There is no box, so I'm not sure that they will change it under warranty due to backlash. Well, and other things.

In technical support, the logistician half-stepped aside, they said to sort it out on the spot, if they need something from the SC, after that they will think.

But the key question is what is ideal? :)

Answer 1

Once you decide to shoot, then accept the fact that
1. the mouse is a consumable. Everything breaks and everyone has marriages. I tried a bunch of different ones in my time and a $100 “mouse” is still garbage. Yes, statistics is when there are 50 pieces, and two or three are lucky / unlucky.
2. you will have to try a lot of mice to find the one that is both handy and tenacious, but after 2-3 years it will be removed from production and everything will start anew. The most difficult thing is “on the hand” - each has its own characteristics, and if the difference is not noticeable for an ordinary programmer or office worker, then it’s easy to invite pain in your hand on a mouse that is not your own, but a mouse suitable for the hand allows you to forget the pain in your hand like a bad dream . But you can only say in advance approximately - a large paw - a large rodent and vice versa.
I used to prefer Logitech, but they have consistently phased out a bunch of suitable mice, and the rest somehow do not stand up to the competition. Recently, I prefer a4 - they definitely live less, but they are affordable and cheap, you can take 3-5 pieces at once.

Answer 2

I've come to terms with the fact that mice are consumables. I sit on A4tech x7, periodically I tighten the wheel or buy a new one when the wheel is completely gouged. He held heaps of other mice in his hands. And rats, and logitechs and raisers (I bought a logitech m515 for a laptop, put in new batteries, glued the battery cover with superglue). Every mouse will have some flaw. And you can either score on it and not notice, or look for something else. The first option suits me :)

Answer 3

I use Razer Death Adder 3500, super sensitivity, smoothness.

Answer 4

I have Gigabyte M6900 . Far from new and not a top model, but for two years of active use there are no complaints about it. A large and very nimble mouse sits in your hand like a glove! Unfortunately, I can't say anything about the use of this model in Linux, because. apart from the remote console, I don't see anything else there.

Answer 5

For the first time I hear that the logitechs have distanced themselves from something, they themselves recently changed the MX620 to the Performance MX under warranty, which made them even more addicted to their mice.
Logitech G9x not considering?

Answer 6

At one time, I really liked the “mouse in reverse” at one of the works, it is also Trackball, when the mouse - such a big one under a large, stern palm, stands stationary, with a slight movement of the fingers the ball spins in the right direction, and the mouse pointer moves behind it on the screen. i.e. the manipulator itself does not move on the table. At first it was uncomfortable, then I got used to it.

Answer 7

Of the simple options - A4Tech X7
Reliable.
