If you don't mind me asking, what exactly do you have against the Habu?

The tracking is absolute BS and a total failure! Have used it for a couple of months and for the price it comes for, perhaps the MS Optical USB mouse wins hands down lol!
 
Get a MX518, you wont regret it

using it for more then 5 years now, have bought just 2 and abused it like hell

Gaming/Outdoor Gigs/Clubs anything works
 
^The prev. gen MX518 works rock solid for those who've got it back then. The ones which were released post 2007 had a massive price reduction from around 2.5k odd (IIRC!) to 1.5k which's the current retail pricing.

With the price reduction came the quality reduction. You may want to check out this thread: http://www.techenclave.com/pc-peripherals/logitech-mx518-rubber-grip-peeling-off-108780.html

I'd mine peel off after a period of 6 months. I'd mailed to Logitech, Australia for an RMA and they promptly obliged! Sold off the mouse to someone and passed the copy of the mail so that he could claim the replacement.

^^ I'll tell you.

People don't like Habu because they think its a failure. Many people consider it as a trend and keep on talking stuff which technically doesn't make any sense at all.

All I can see with the Habu is that it was not VFM. But who cares tbh? You have a 7G keyboard selling for 10 Grands locally. Then you have this SS Warcraft Edition Mice which I saw selling for 13 odd grands in front of my eyes , still cannot believe it.

So I don't think money should be taken into consideration. There isn't any other problem with MS Habu IMO.

BTW , @ deathvirus_me - Razer Lachesis is not at all recommended for 1.6! :) (For CSS , TF2 , L4D etc. it's completely fine though!)

U'mm i actually play CS1.6 with the Lachesis and find its just fine (i dont know whether i shud say better) .. i dont game at 4000 dpi with my Lachesis, primarily coz of

(i) max. 60 IPS at 4000 dpi, confirmed by Razer.

(ii) 4000 dpi is an overkill even for 1080p res.

I play at 1000 dpi @ 500 Hz with my Lachesis, and now taking every other feature that the Lachesis has to offer in consideration, particularly the high IPS and the low lift-off distance i rate it better than the G5 too .. and though i'm not a regular CS1.6 player, i still pwn when i game with my Lachesis ..

MS IE3.0 is recommended for CS1.6 ?? And thats it ?? like i said earlier, a 450 dpi mouse with the shittiest side buttons ever is a recommended buy ?? I'd rate the MX518 over it anyday .. cost less, adjustable dpi and has a good feel to the overall build :P ..

End of the day i'd rather not force anyone into buying anything .. but i'd say buy something considering every aspect of ur use. Whether u decide to invest on a guaranteed flawed mice or a mice with too high specs is your choice entirely. ..

Also regarding the Habu, i too am sad for people bashing it so much. I've used it myself and i kinda like the idea of adjustable side buttons .. the price tag is higher than the Copperhead and thats obvious with the MS branding .. I dont recommended anyone to buy the Habu coz u have better alternatives at that price point. If someone like the ergonomics of the MS IE3.0, and want better features, then Habu wud be the next ideal step ..

AFAIK the DA and the Habu are almost identical physically.

Well I'm not sure how much you are into the CS scene.

But 90% + of the Professional Counter-Strike players be it either from fnatic , SK , mTw , mousesports , Alternate , EG , roccat etc use MS Intelli 3.0 !

Obviously it's price is not as high as the Habu and Death Adder but the teams and the players I am talking about speak itself.

If you still don't believe me , go here - GotFrag eSports - Competitive Gaming News, Features, Movies, Content and Community and have a look at how many CS 1.6 users use intelli 3.0.

Obviously Tech wise I can argue with you full day that Razer Mamba is the best mouse ever with the best ever tracking! But that won't make sense because we are talking in terms of 1.6 and vfm.

MX518 , the new one is completely BS with LQ finishing and the sudden price drop as mentioned earlier in this thread speaks for itself!
 
Thanks for the suggestion but now i am confused all the more...

Many people may find this stupid but what the heck here it goes.

What are you take for razer Mamba. I got a discount link on amazon.com where in getting it for 80$. Now i have a friend is U.S who is coming down next month.

Do you think its worth getting the mouse for 4k???
or should i consider anything else?

I am thinking of asking my friend to arrange for a wireless $66 Logitech MX1100. But I dont know how good is it for gaming. All my life I have played with entry level mouse such as Microsoft basic optical mouse in games like Call of duty Series, Fallout 3 etc., but they have played fine. (Honestly I wonder how much precision would help!) But I guess I will come to know once I have the mouse!

Can consider MX1100 if wireless is acceptable. Had decent reviews.

Oh i do keep a track of the "scene" .. and u sir have a very low idea of why one prefers a MS IE3.0 for CS1.6 .. and also i dont go by words, i'm more of a man of proof .. if u wanna make me understand something, i'd rather be happy to understand if u cud come up with more reasoning that trying to decipher the mentality of pro-gamers..

90% of CS1.6 games in India thinks that 640*480 is better than 1024*768 - when asked why - they said the bigger cursor = more chances of hitting the target .. if only that was right; and oh i mean the majority of the crowd are intellectually nubs, technically unaware of anything so i rather stick to being the techo-moron i am :P ..

IE3.0 will always stand being a mouse with the crappiest side buttons .. and anyone investing on a piece of hardware just bcoz of 450 dpi for playing CS1.6 @ 800*600, ignoring the flaws in the build right from day 0, basically proves my point here ..

And oh the MX518, even the new one is better in terms of specs and performance than the IE3.0 and comes for a much less price, yet strangely enuf u put so much stress on the low build quality; which u face after rigorous usage; of the MX518 and praise the IE3.0 so much irrespective of even a build flaw ???

Wireless is fine for both gaming and normal usage .. but its not good enuf for serious gaming .. if u dont wanna go into pro gaming anytime soon wireless wud actually be a pretty decent option :)
 
IMO Nothing Beats The G5 --> The Precision , The Weight System , Accuracy all r top notch..
However The Grip mite ba prob for some..
As for the topic..well i see here People Thinking of MSI 3.0 and Habu as Great Mouses which unfortunately they are not..
And saying G5 & DA as not so good..really surprises me..
I think all u people care abt is what a praticular great team of CS says..they Use INtelli 3.0 so u think its best for CS...strange..!
What u dont realize is at the end it u who matters ..u r gonna play for ur team..ur reflex hand movements and control would be hell lot of dif from oders...

If everyone would have been same..would Not Indian team Consisted of 11 Sachin Tendulkars..or for that matter ..all CS or UT or Quake teams would have 5 Fatality's in their teams..

Tech Wise...Lachesis , G5 , DA , CooperHead , G9 , Mamba are Gud Enough for all..however razer does have some cursor skipping probs (Corrected to some extenet in LAchesis) but Mamba still has it..DA Thank God Does not has ny probs...
its Middle Button prob..well thats a first for me..i got many frnds who never complained of ny probs in DA..
for MX 518...It was a great mouse WAS.....!
The new improved version with teflon coat infact is of very low quality..so kindly refrain from it..its old now..and moreover only 125HZ polling..god knows how u can manage...also the skin peeling is also in 2007 editions of mx 518 as well only the initial mx 518 2006 and before did not experince this...

Well if u Really want a gud MOuse..go for the G5 ..go for it..its the best ...u can get rite now..unless of course its grip is not rite for u...
