   Registered Member #2975 Joined: Wed Nov 04 09, 04:52PMPosts: 40 | As the title suggest I need advice on which gaming mouse to buy. I'm a student so I' not what you'd call wealthy  I'm not looking for anything fancy, and preferably under £30. I'd be grateful for some advice. Thanks in advance Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings. | ||

omnia causa fiunt   Registered Member #141 Joined: Tue Apr 24 07, 10:00AMYour Location: London, UK Posts: 5402 | Microsoft Intellimouse Optical or Explorer have been used by gamers for years. Not hard-core gaming mice but perfectly adequate and used by many including myself for years. Well made bits of kit and well under £30 I now use Logitech G5 (2nd edition or whatever it's called) - nice mouse with lots of things like adjustable dpi and weight, which I never use. And of course these things start creeping up over £30 .....  | ||

Registered Member #2975 Joined: Wed Nov 04 09, 04:52PMPosts: 40 | Has anyone tried the Logitech MX 700 as it seems to be fairly high spec and cheap too. It has 800 DPI - is that good for gaming?

Registered Member #3276 Joined: Thu Feb 11 10, 09:50PMPosts: 14 | I have Mx518 also. Love the mouse but one thing to be aware of if you have clumsy sausage fingers like me. The mouse wheel doubles as a button but it's pretty close to the two small buttons that adjust sensitivity on the fly. Useful if you want to switch to/from sniping not so much fun when you hit one accidently in them middle of a frantic firefight and spin round 360 or struggle to turn as though on a joypad (urrrghhh).

Now I'm confused. Should I get it or not?? I have fairly small hands and fingers so I shouldn't really have problems (I hope). If I get this mouse, do you know anywhere I can get it cheap apart from ebay or amazon?
