I have seen the following: Etekcity Scroll X1 (M55)(2800 dpi) and the Anker CG100 (8200 dpi). Both have reasonable pricing with the Etekcity at a lower price. Any suggestions? Thanks papithegun Awards

I recently had the chance to try out a roccat kova and I was amazed at how nice it felt, If your looking for a cheap but solid and comfortable mouse that can work with almost any grip you should consider it at least. 29.99 at newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826436007&cm_re=roccat-_-26-436-007-_-Product couple of reviews: http://www.cnet.com/au/products/roccat-kova/ http://www.tweaktown.com/reviews/4461/roccat_kova_max_performance_gaming_mouse_review/index6.html I honestly have no opinions on the two you have listed, haven't ever tried them.

Do not buy anything from Mad Catz. I went through 3 of their RAT7s in a period of 2 years. Man were they awesome mouses. For the first two months they worked.... Their support department didnt respond to me until 2 1/2 months after I filled out 3 support requests. Nor did they speak anymore than about 5 words of English. At one point they had good products. Until they were bought out. They are complete junk now. If you want my RAT7 for free you can have it. JUNK. Edited September 5, 2014 by OddJob001 BigPapaDean 1

If you don't knife ot run and gun but sit back and take it easy kind of playing then the cheapies will do for you. IF you want more then bro you will pay more! I have had the RAT7 X2 times and like odd said they work great for a short time then they break and are pointless to have. At the moment I have a Corsair Vengeance M65 It does not perform the way the Rat7 did but it has much greater overall dependability! M<y gaming style cslls for a very quick respnse so I look for the better brands which means you will pay more. Also the dpi on the higher priced ones are where you can manually set them where ever you want them. So think about it and themn go buy what you ether need or what your budget will handle. I been on both sides of that equation! Good luck and I hope you get one that performs well for you! Awards

It is the most comfortable mouse I've ever owned. It has excellent gaming features, but is perfect for non-gaming applications as well. When not playing games, I unlock the scroll wheel and I can freewheel through a document or webpage at warp speed. Most people just never understand what a beautiful thing that is because they've only experienced a mouse that limits rotation of the wheel to a couple of ratchet clicks at best thereby forcing you to continuously roll the wheel yourself to get anywhere. Personally I can't think of a better mouse!

Read any review of Rat mice from any website of your choosing. Amazon, newegg, toms hardware. The reviews are much lower than all other mice, and if you read through them it is due to hardware issue. Owning it for two years should work fine. But just wait that third year. From someone who has gone through two of them in three years, I agree. Junk product. It WILL break on you some how some way. I promise. Too bad since it was a great mouse. But after 3 years of its use, I couldnt be more happy switching to the G700s. Its like a Rat7 but so much better. Edited September 7, 2014 by OddJob001

Does it really make that much of a difference when gaming? Not talking about feel or comfort but on speed? (in BF4) I think i have an older Logitech corded g500, but I'm due for a newer one. mouselad 1
