Hey - turns out IRC is out and something a little more modern has taken it's place... A little thing called Discord!

i just bought the the roccat kone and its pretty nice even it will need some time till i get used to it.
its pretty ergonomic and you can put weights on it if you like it more heavy or light... thats up to you.
and thats what roccat writes about it:

and thats what roccat writes about it:
I currently use the Logitech G5. Has adjustable weight(s) settings and you can change DPI on-the-fly. I've bought Razer mice in the past but they are either really small mice, or I have large hands. I think Razer mice are designed more for your fingers to rest on rather than your whole hand to hold (in my experience anyway).
All this adjustable weights soudns nice, but lets be honest: it's nonesense.
No matter if your mouse weights 200g or 300g, you get used to it anyway.
Personally i use a MX518 and it's more than enough to play nicely. Ofc some wannabe-pro gamers might say: you have to have 3000+dpi, but imho that's bollox.
Tnega is nearly 50 years old, so no matter which mouse he'll get, not the mouse is the limited factor, it's him anyway

That is also true, I find the Deathadder to be suited to players who use a claw grip (like myself), and to players who use a low sensitivity (hence pick the mouse up alot to move left/right).
I also tried the Roccat Kone which Banshee linked but didn't like it at all, it skipped on my ultra low sens
and if you pick the mouse up a little bit in the air, your cursor starts going haywire, if you use a fast sens and never lift the mouse then the Kone would be a good option as well.So it depends what kind of a player you are Tnega, but as Bart said if you're not serious about gaming then a MX518will be just fine.

True. I haven't put any weights in and I've the mouse about a year now. The mouse is fine without the weights, and can't see why anyone would want a weighted down mouse. It's all personal perference though
i use intellimouse optical for 10 years.nice size and comfortable and does the job
riv uses microsoft habu gaming mouse, which he got free cause his microsoft laser 6000 broke and microsoft replaced it free of charge under warranty.
so a little hint to anyone get a microsoft mouse!! they have good customer service and in my experience there is a chance a mouse usb wire can break within 2/5 years.

Roccat Kone was good while it lasted. Mousewheel stopped working a couple of days after the warranty ran out.
Read around the net, and the mousewheel bug is apparently pretty common with those, so I went out and got a Razer DeathAdder instead.
I use the MX518 on my laptop.. still working flawlessly after almost 4 years.. =)
