I use a logitech mx500 at home and work. it's the best mouse I've ever had. (it's wired not wireless. wireless is the mx700 and bluetooth mx900)

anyway, logitech has upgraded the mx500 and released the mx510. it has very impressive specs: 800-dpi, 5.8 megapixel MX optical sensor and high report rate (12-bits) I would highly suggest it. If my mx500 breaks (or if the wife needs a new mouse, she gets the mx500) I'll definitly get the mx510.

strange Newegg.com doesn't have it, but BestBuy has had it for a couple months now. at $49.99 it's a pretty good investment for a serious gamer.

Razer continues to meet unmet needs in gaming input devices !

Razer Viperâ„¢1000 DPI Optical
Razer's first pure optical mouse - possesses the most advanced optical tracking system of any mouse to-date. The true 1000 DPI hardware-based optical engine, results in unparalleled, explosive game play. Viper is more responsive, offers smoother movement, and is faster than any optical mouse out there!

at $49.95 why not

e0b's true hax was the ones he was pullin on me, the mouse flash hax. For those of you that need further explanation, bout every 2 secs eob would pick his mouse up and flip it 90 degrees to the left and set it back down. Well i was on his left, that little red light kept coming right at me. HAXOR!

LOL.. I never really noticed I did that before. I really think its because of the mouse I use. I'm looking at the viper 1000dpi right now.. onlything I don't like about it is the way it looks. If there were more pics to see the sides it help. CO that mouse looks and sounds sweet. Plus I can see that it would prob hit my hand well. I hate the fact that the best mice(?) have to have cords.. I want a good cordless one dangit!! trhnx guys.. more suggestions are welcome:)

I saw that! I didn't know if he was just doing somethign weird, or if that's just the way he was used to playing. You would figure with a mouse pad the size of Rhode Island, he wouldn't have to pick up his mouse....sheesh

your second link is bad, but if you are comparing the logitech dual optical to the mx510, there is no comparison. by far the 510 outperforms the dual optical. the tracking engine and data transfer are alot better. not to mention you have 8 buttons that can be assigned to whatever you want. (the entire mx series is better than the dual optical due to the optical processing engine it uses)

oh yea he's getting that one. he's all about having more buttons. just look at his gamepad. i think he lost sleep for an entire week before that thing got shipped to the house. the boy goes mad crazy about anything computer related

I'm just going to hate myself for a while since I've helped you get a better mouse that will to more hacking by you.

The mx310 is probably half the weight of the mx510 and most say it fits the hand very well

i bought the mx700 wireless and took it back the next day. it was big, heavy and fit weird in my hand. they say the 500 is the wired model of the 700, so its the same size.

i got the mx310 instead and it fits good in my hand, is light weight, and average in size. i noticed airborne played with the same mouse when i got to the lan. i would recommend that one or the optical razer. if u go with the razer let us know if its good or not.
