almost prefect mouse for large hand?

[FreqE1]

The 2 buttons on the side (one above the other) are forward and back, I can't stand mice that don't have forward and back buttons. I love how I don't have to move my thumb backwards to hit "back". Up for forward, down for back. The main 5 bottons are all programable and it can be programed to run macros although I haven't tried that.

o_O strange movement for back/forward button...

just curious how is the game? i heard its average good (not best)

[FreqE1]

I have only tried this one gaming mouse so I can't make an accurate comparison to any others. I've only beem PC gaming for 6 months. I like it but mice are a personal thing.

anyone have tried this Cyber Snipa Stinger Laser Mouse or OCZ banger?

tomorrow i will go and find out... i hope its good one...

I'm really liking my new G9. I have big hands and use the wide grip.

My friend has the Optical, and it feels pretty much the same. There is not too much of a difference. I bought the Laser when it was on sale for about $70. I think another difference, is the lift height. Meaning, how high the mouse can be off the ground for the light sensor to stop tracking. The Laser has a much lower lift distance, only 1.8mm until it stops tracking, whereas the Optical is 3.8mm until it stops tracking. This I guess isnt that important to most people.

I think there are actually three groups of optical mice and the ways their illuminators work:
-infrared scatter/beam
-diode (LED) scatter
-laser beam

Personally, I've come across a number of pesky issues with the laser engine used in the Logitech G5/G7, which is the same Agilent 6010 image processing chip used in the Razer Copperhead. My brother uses a Logitech MX510 (which uses an optical LED engine also designed by Agilent), which I found was able to track exceptionally well across many surfaces. On the flipside, the G5/G7's laser engine is very picky about what surface the mouse is moving on. Glass (or composite glass mouse pads) would would lack texture and wouldn't reflect enough of the laser back to the lens; likewise for highly polished, troughless desk surfaces. Most cloth mouse pads absorb the laser almost outright.

If you want near-absolute precision in a mouse, you can't get much finer than a high-resolution laser mouse on a fine matte surface, with the hardware-/mouse-controlled resolution turned very low**--maybe as low as 600dpi. For everything else, especially with straight tracking on surfaces, LED mice will continue to reign until laser mice can advance their image processing to cope with the issues their extremely high resolutions entail.

**Correction: set the hardware resolution very high and software resolution very low (sorry)

just curious.. can i use 32bit mouse on x64? i found that OCZ banger [for 30cdn or cyber snipra stringer 35cdn] is not supporting x64 :\

Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer 2.0 is the way to go if you have larger hands. It's a pretty standard mouse too, so it's cheap and easy to pick up. They run about $40 and even though it's wireless, I only have to change batteries once every 4 months or so. (And I'm a heavy gamer.) It's back heavy with a nice sized palm rest, so it's actually really made for larger hands. Let's put it this way, I can palm a basketball upside down, and this is about the best I've found for comfort. It has a 4-way scroll wheel and 2 programmable side buttons. Here's a review.
