Had a Razer mouse for 4 years but it's dying; click, faulty drag. Stepped down to spare HP.
I want wires, don't like wireless. Also I'm left handed. >:D
Corsair http://uk.pcmag.com/corsair-vengeance-m65/1036/review/corsair-vengeance-m65
Logitech http://www.trustedreviews.com/logitech-g402-hyperion-fury-gaming-mouse-review
Razer http://www.razerzone.com/gb-en/gaming-mice/razer-deathadder-black
Cheapo but looks cool http://www.tecknet.co.uk/m268.html
Any recommendations?
I've been using the Razer Mamba for a couple years now on my desktop and it's pretty comfy, I will admit. So was the Logitech G700 I had before then.
I'd still be using the G700 today if the padding on the bottom didn't get caught on the edge of my mousepad and fold over itself. Can't get it to stick back and the damn thing is lopsided now :D
There's also this (http://installgentoo.wikia.com/wiki/Mice) you can follow, though I would take it with a grain of salt, as they say.
I vote for Corsair as I own one myself.
That Corsair mouse is designed for right hand users though so you should try before buying.
I haven't bought a mouse for a while and it's surprising you lose touch with what's good or no. Thanks for the updates and support :)
Logitech seems to be well ahead.

As a lefty I try and look for the mouse with consistent slanting on both side, so probably the G302. But maybe the LED backlit, dunno. I have a week or so until some dosh arrives.
Roccat (http://www.roccat.org/) also makes some ambidextrous mice.
Thanks for that tip. Lot of good looking mice with many buttons, but being left-handed is restrictive. I will start with this one: http://www.roccat.org/en-GB/Products/Gaming-Mice/Lua/ and see how it goes. It is small, so dunno. But spare mice are always useful.
Your first two models are not for lefties.
Anyway, I got a very cheap, but also good mouse: http://www.trust.com/en/product/17530-gxt-32-gaming-mouse
You can change the button mapping in driver, create macros and switch between 2 button mappings with the mode button. There are 3 dpi levels, switchable with the other button (so you don't need any button combinations for that).
"Not for lefties," I know but I look and drool at the buttons, all in the wrong place :(
Today I got a Roccat Lua and what a relief from the temp HP mouse - sore hand from that(and I haven't been looking at porn). The Lua is smooth, very light click. Speed adjustable. The roller is a bit clicky but probably adjustable too, although it's all ok for me. Thanks for help and suggestions, appreciated!
congratz ;)
classic mouse lol =D
Got a new hardisk... any way i can retrieve all my stuff back in game? ... like server stats n especially my CD KEY lol
Is it the boot drive you replaced? If you can access the original OS installation (assuming it's Windows) you can open regedit.exe and go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Unreal Technology\Installed Apps\UT2004, you should find it there
And if you can't boot into the OS on your old drive, but can access the contents, there's a way to browse your old registry (http://www.sevenforums.com/general-discussion/203216-registry-edit-old-windows-install-post1711586.html#post1711586).
Your stats username and other game configuration are stored in User.ini and UT2004.ini, these are in your UT2004's System folder.
Didn't think of that. Think I'm gonna throw that in a .txt on my "tools" flash drive.
I like (and still play with) the old logitech MX500/MX510/MX518 style mouse. Logitech don't make them any longer so I play with one cobbled together with parts from old ones.
I have a Logitech G402 in front of me I bought when I thought I couldn't repair my MX518. The buttons are in fairly reasonable places - but I've not yet used it. Maybe I'll give it a go in the next few days and let you know how it goes.
I've also got a Corsair M95 - loads of buttons but I didn't get on with it at all. Not a FPS mouse. Doesn't work properly in USB3 slot. Buttons very difficult to press without moving your hand. I tried it in UT2004 for several days hoping it would grow on me and I could map more of the buttons to weapons...but in the end I gave up and went back to my trusty MX518.
[edit] ahhh - didn't spot that you're left handed. That narrows things down a lot Those in my post will definitely not be suitable. The buttons will be in the wrong places unless you have a right hand grafted on to your left arm!
Yep, left handed narrows it. And like you hint at, another big difference is FPS and RPG. FPS we don't have a lot of use for stacks of buttons. Even coop FPS - a little more time to think but not much.
But I also got a Corsair keyboard (with pretty lights, lol). It has six extra G keys and they're not a lot of use to me except Devving; opening programs. I didn't program the Corsair's G6 key -bottom left of the board- because in FPS I often hit it accidentally.
Maybe some day I'll get into RPGs... but presently a fancy keyboard is pretty useless for me. And even if I could use a many buttoned mouse, like you say, and you must be right handed - many buttons are mainly irritating.
I should have thought thru the important differences FPS and RPG, what hardware I need/ don't. Probably everyone's tried RPG style stuff online and got hammered by some mf with hardware keys, hot keys, several screens with inventory/maps, whereas most FPS shooters and especially me cba to fiddle with multiple buttons.
It's becoming Morlocks and Eloi. We're the pretty ones, but with skill.

Well, I don't know about you, but my mouse is super!

damn i saved it somewhere i forgot now..... shit
do i have to buy the game again now?
Where did you buy it last time?
GOG --> email them. They can give you a new key.
STEAM -->will just work
Physical Copy --> CD key might still work,can't confirm
Dunno about anything else
i think i have to buy the game again dude... thanks for your help tho sonar...
its been time since someone called you sonar i guess .. lol
Hoo, yeah. I'm surprised you let alone anyone still remembered.
Though I guess really it wasn't that long ago.
I wonder if you'd be able to use the CDKey from my GOG account, since I have the Steam version
Just wondering where would i get the ut2k4 for cheapest ::) anyone knows?
