Another vote for the MX518. Although there is some cosmetic scuffing and the rubber film is peeling, the functionality has not suffered one bit after a lot of abuse.
I have big viking bear hands so no, just one finger for each of right and left button. I'll try the 3 finger approach (har har) for a while and see if I can get used to it.
I need my ring finger to hold the mouse so no three-finger-style for me.
I have an MX510 that I have had for 6 years and it's still running strong.
Hi,
I've had a razer diamondback for the last couple of years but its left mouse button wore out. So I opened up the mouse and replaced the foot its on (the foot does the clicking) with plastic paste. It worked good as new for a couple of months now but I can feel it's wearing down again.
So for my next mouse I'd like to ask if you can point me in the direction of a sturdy model that can take a little abuse.
What I need:
- left, right and middle mouse button plus mouse wheel, all of which should have to be clicked and not just barely touched
- a tough mouse that can survive prolonged exposure to DiabloI-like clickfests and Milkshapey scrolling orgies
- the mouse has to be easy to pick up and move. I'm a shuffler
I don't care much if it's wired or wireless (unless it has noticeable lag and ultra short battery live) or how much dpi it has as long as it's within reasonable limits. 800+ dpi should do fine.
so I'm using a g9x now. and SO FAR it's been bulletproof.
In regards to the G500, how hard/easy to use is the thumbbutton mashing on the side?Logitech G5 or G500, both are extremely accurate and comfortable mice :tup:
I'm sure the MX518 is an awesome mouse like everyone always says, but if you're used to the small form factor of the Diamondback it's probably a way better choice.
