PC gaming mouse suggestions?

[Marti]

Hey gang.

Currently using a Razer Naga. As of this year it’s 7 years old, seen countless hours of WoW while I was in college, and gone through some rage quits.

The scroll wheel is starting to act up, and causing random weapon switches in games.

I mostly play RPGs now and FPS’s. Any good recommendations for a new mouse?

G903 says it has both wired and wireless modes right on their site. I figured g900 was same... guess I'll get g903 if I do get one. My old razer had that and I liked it alot.

I like wired and wireless features too, I had a controller that had that but sadly it broke and the buttons kept getting stuck. I had to get an xbox controller instead although I barely even use it lol. I never found a mouse with that feature though...

Oh i thought you meant the 12,000 DPI was for competitive FPS xD. Honestly I don't see a difference between that and the G502 besides the way it looks and the amount of profiles you can have. I really only need 1 profile though since I'm not that big on important things, to me it's just Red logo, and DPIs going by 500s (3500, 4000, etc)

The key differences are weight and grip. The G900 is much lighter and has a better balance to it, the G502 is much heavy and more neutraly balanced. They also support different grips, the G900 is a natural Palm Grip mouse, the G502 is more of a top-down fingertip gripped mouse.

To be completely honest, I have been noticing some problems in FPS games, mostly because either I'm just bad in general or the weight of the mouse is making it harder.

I find that completely believable. Weight and grip are important, it's important to have a mouse that fits your hands and feels right. For me that's something fairly compact and as light as I can get with the absolute minimum of inertia - either a Corsair M65 or G900. And since I had the budget and a grudge against Corsair, I went with the G900 to replace my well-loved but totally impractical Asus Spatha.

Compared to the Spatha, the G900 is almost 50% lighter. It's also got a much slimmer and shorter chassis, which fits my hand length perfectly.

And I felt the benefits of that almost immediately - I had a tendency to overshoot my target and then correct. With the G900 that stopped without me even thinking about it, the lighter mouse had that much less inertia and my grip meant I had better control over it. I also noted that the Logitech 12,000 CPi Optical sensor is much better for fine motions than the Avago in the Asus. The amount of movement needed to register is lower, so the tiny handmovements I prefer work so much better.

Brands like Razer pay Tournament gamers a lot of money to talk about how much of a difference their peripherals make. But in amongst the spin you've got a kernal of truth - having the weapon that suits you really makes a difference. The G900 fits me like a glove, and that made a surprisingly huge difference to my fortunes online.

That's exactly what I found, as a finger/claw guy I found the g402/g502 too large and heavy and felt awkward for my grip and play style. It kind of worked for claw so I was thinking they were more suited to claw/palm grips. Did you get it from target? That was a killer deal for $40, but if you had to return and try the g203 that may be an option (currently under $30 from target and best buy)...

Yeah I bought it from target for 40$, and I don't really like how the g203 feels since one of my friends has one, i tried it out for a while but didn't feel satisfied. Of course I love the feeling of this mouse but if it was lighter, this would've been worth a whole lot more. Also, I was told I can't get a refund for some stupid "If open, can only be exchanged for a new same model" type of ♥♥♥♥.
