My RAT died

My RAT 5 died yesterday, right and left click seem to work but the sensor doesnt. (Tried it on a couple of machines) 'Tis a shame it was only a year and a half old.

Anyway have people had issues with this mouse?

What recommendations would you have for a new one? I have been looking at the M65 from corsair, it seems to have decent reviews.

 

Thanks

The M65 has a funky sensor. It's a good shape, good materials. I was particularly sensitive to the acceleration on the M65, so I replaced the mouse. I cannot tell you whether you will notice the acceleration, but you would do well to pick a mouse that doesn't have inherent problems.

What's your budget?

I use a Mionix NAOS 8200... great mouse, but very right handed (the AVIOR is the ambidextrous version)... Razer DeathAdder is another personal favorite....

Check out Anker's Programmable Gaming Laser Mouse with 5000 DPI. On sale for $36 on Amazon.

 

  • Track your every movement with unparalleled precision, speed and continuity via the Avago ADNS-9500 Sensor, which features 5000 DPI, 11750 FPS and a polling rate of 1000 Hz. Omron micro switches provide crisp, firm clicks.
  • 11 programmable buttons, 5 savable profiles, macros, 7 on-the-fly DPI levels (500 / 1000 / 1500 / 2000 /3000 / 4000 / 5000) and other programmable settings let you take command with maximum efficiency.
  • 6-piece (5g/0.18oz each) weight-tuning system and respiring light with 23 color options offer personalized feel and comfort.
  • Lightweight, braided-fiber USB cable with gold-plated USB connector ensures a reliable connection.

 

It's the one I currently use at the moment, and 7 months worth of ownership. Good quality build, and I'd give the ergonomics an excellent rating if it weren't for the fact that I have small hands (I'm one of those people that thinks the Dual Shock 3 controller is just the perfect size).

Cool I'll have a look. I would probably say £65 max

Razer Ouroboros if it fits in your price bracket - awesome mouse

ended up getting the M65 yesterday, the maplin across from where I work had one so I thought 'what the hey' I personally really like it so all is well :]

 

Thanks

Booooooo.

It is the best constructed mouse I have used to date. I just dislike the sensor, but I quickly learnt that I have an optical-bias.

Go pwn some n00bs, son!

this mouse looks identical to my wich is a Sharkoon m51 so maybe is just another copy paste to Anker 5000
