Can someone tell me if the Steelseries mice have a similar functionality as my Deathadder? Essentially, I can press on the mouse wheel button and scroll up or down to adjust the sensitivity on the fly. It is the only feature that keeps me using it. It's gotten so bad that it crashes a least once a night for me. At this point I'm starting to look at replacing it.

Yes, most mice have that feature. I'd say 99%.



I'm running a Mionix Naos 5000 right now, wonderfull mouse.

I'm not sure if the Steelseries mice have that specific functionality, but you can change your sensitivity on the fly. My Ikari has a slim button right below the wheel that switches from High to Low sensitivity. I almost never switch to Low sensitivity myself, but I suppose it could be useful if you need a bit more control at a certain instance.

I never use that functionality on my Deathadder. I don't understand in what situation that would help, aside from when sniping. What I use scrolling changes for is tweaking for how I'm playing that night. Some nights a slightly higher sensitivity gives me an edge where other nights I'm just not on form and that higher sensitivity is too much. It also helps me when switching from game to game.

 I'm more of a trackball kind of guy, so I use a CST L-tracX.  3200 cpi(configurable) and the perfect size and shape to fit my hand without making me do the "eagle claw" like some other trackballs do.  It's solid as a rock, and where some companies void your warranty for taking a mouse apart, CST provides instructions.  Best trackball I've ever had.  Full specs here:  http://www.clearlysuperiortech.com/ltracx.html

Logitech G9x that I got for $50 a few months ago.

Love it, I was using a Razer Deathadder that I had bought a good few years ago. The thing felt awesome in the first few months, not sure what happened to the texture. The Middle mouse button got wonky a few times but fixed it self. At the end when I decided to get a new mouse is because it would double click on its own when I would click, and when I would hold down the LMB it wouldn't hold which resulted in lots of files and folders going into the wrong place.

When the G9x was shipping it decided to fix it self, ended up shelving it anyway.

Apple Magic Trackpad.
 
Love it.
 
I was searching and searching for a new mouse, and someone mentioned the trackpad, and I was like What?  Why on earth would I want a stupid trackpad when I can have a mouse that does so much more so easily?  But then I tried one out, and was won over almost immediately.  I'm never going back.

So glad we got a mouse and keyboard fi :3, as I'm building my gaming rig today, and a mouse is going to be my first upgrade [in about a week ;3]
 
So what do you guys think of the
 
Evo EC1 and the G500?
 
I've heard the G500 is pretty cheaply made, and I was recommened the EVO Ec1 instead, any one used either one?The G500 is 5600 and the EVO only 2600
 
Still though, which do you guys think is a better buy? I don't like all the negativeity I'm hearing about the G500 on OCN... sadly though the internet likes the G500 [Big palces like Cnet...]
 
Also New Egg reviews for G500 have been mixed,
 
so xD which one you guys think would be better for FPS gaming. I don't really care about having extra buttons on the mouse, just accuarcy really...

I'd go for the G400. Make sure you get one with a PID above LZ13333 though, lower ones have angle snapping.
