Any ideas on a good Mouse and a Pad,I was thinking about razer goliathus,so suggest a good mouse .
What is your budget?
If it is ~3000/- for mouse + mousepad, I think the following models are worth considering --
Corsair Vengeance M60 ~2900/- [Corsair's foray into the enthusiast peripheral market, stuffed with features and Corsair's reliability]
PROs --
- Crazy fast LASER ~5700 dpi sensor.
- Well optimized for a FPS fanatic.
- Beastly build quality, only mice in the sub-3000/- category to have an aluminium chassis.
- Rudimentary weight system.
CONs --
- Crazy fast LASERsensor.
- Right-handed layout only.
LOGITECH G400 ~1600/- [takes the genes of the legendary MX 518 and updates the for the current scenario]
PROs --
- Tried and true design / ergonomic layout, mastered by LOGITECH since the MX series, precursors of the first gaming mice.
- Fastest optical sensor ~3600 dpi in the ~2500/- price bracket.
- Availability is almost universal.
- LOGITECH's G series drivers are some of the best for customisation and ease of use.
CONs --
- Side buttons on the left flank make it a right-biased design.
- Design is getting old in the tooth and might not appeal to everyone.
- The scroll wheel on the new designs [both the G300 / G400] is something which I intensely dislike. Feels downright cheap, non-graded and very free, sometimes does not even register a scroll.
Roccat Kova ~1900/- [most probable next review by me]
PROs --
- The only true ambidextrous mouse in this bunch.
- Fast optical ~3200 dpi sensor.
- Has got bling in the form of LED's in the mouse for ambient lighting.
CONs --
- Availability and after sales?
- Whether the bling is just for bling OR is it functional, I need to see.
Razer Death Adder ~2000/- [get whichever flavour suits you, left hand <--> right hand, funky colours <--> non funky colours]
PROs --
- Design almost as old as the LOGITECH MX 518 of old and a bitter rival.
- Fast optical sensor ~3500 dpi with Razer's proprietary infrared sensor.
- Basic design which is a favourite of many pro-FPS gamers till date.
- Availability in a myriad of colours, finishes; just lacks a POP-Art edition.
CONs --
- Build quality and after sales is under the scanner.
- Base design principle = less buttons for custom macros et al
Also, please note that a Razer Goliathus Control / Speed which are soft-surface will be a okay for optical sensors, but for Corsair's L
ASER sensor you will have to buy a hard-surface.
Hope this helps, Cheers!!
