:P

Seriously though - have you read reviews on the models you listed?
 
Yeah I have...

but there was too many components like weights, wired and wireless etc... So I thought I would start a discussion here :D

And the mouses that they said was best.. I couldn't get hold of them, unless I ordered it online. The ones I listed was the ones I could get from my supplier :)

The Corsair is the best of all those you listed.
 
Purely depends on your needs and price range.

I haven't looked at the models you listed, so I can't comment on any of them, but get a mouse based on what you mainly play. Things like if you play a lot of FPS, or Wow, or things like that. That should help you decide.

Definitely worth spending a little extra to get a good mouse pad. I have one of the Razor pads (Med sized I think) And it is like the best thing ever.
 
I currently use the Logitech G502 with the G402? hard gaming mouse pad, does it for me, I play FPS games mostly Battlefield 4.
 
Corsair is great.
I use the Steelseries Sensei Raw and have nothing bad to say about it.
With a mouse mat, can't remember the brand but it's great.

Just get a nice mat and not a mouse pad.
 
Depends on what type of games you are playing.

Do you need a crap ton of buttons for that mmo, moba or strategy game? What about dpi?
Do you need all the dpi in the world for that fps and strategy game?
What type of mouse grip do you have (that's going to determine the size of mouse)
Like your mouse heavy or light? Top, bottom, front heavy/light?

I have had a razer deathadder (3.5g) for about 6 years now. Haven't found a mouse with the same comfortable fit since and it suits all the generic gaming needs. Personally don't need all the macros or on the fly changes that most gaming mice have today, but some people can't live without that convenience.

What MrR said.

Here is a pic that explains the different grip styles: http://lefthandedgamingmouse.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/Hand-Grips.jpg

Some more tips:
Comfort and the support for your grip style is key. Research lot before you choose. Remember your hand size plays a role here.
Less is more (for FPS). Decide whether you really need feature X or Y.
Take note that some mice have "built in" positive/negative acceleration (some lazer mice).
Optical sensors (generally speaking), have no acceleration issues.

Regarding your selection
LogiTech: G700s - Very heavy mouse and relatively big. Made for palm grip.
Zalman: GM4
Corsair: M95 MMO mouse, not FPS
Corsair: M65FPS mouse and an excellent one too. Designed specifically for FPS Claw Grip, used it for a year before getting the SS Rival
Gigabyte: Aorus Thunder M7

Others to consider:
Razer Deathadder is a great claw grip mouse (my current)
SteelSeries Rival is also a decent claw grip mouse for bigger hands (my previous)

...less is more.

To add,

I have both a Corsair M65 RGB and Corsair Raptor M45, the M65 RGB is a gimmick and the M45 is more value towards user experience where the M65 RGB has better build quality, though the two borders equally on price. Then I also have the Steelseries Rival which trumps any mouse at its price point up to the R1000 mark, it costs less than the M65 RGB and Raptor M45, but I can’t compare it to the Razer Deathadder as I have no personal experience gaming with the Razor Deathadder. This are all mice with enough buttons to suit casual and FPS games.

My one bud have a Logitech G502 with which he is very happy as an MMO (and other similar genre) player, but he can’t do CS:GO without a Steelseries Rival.

I game mostly on my workstation so I roll with a Genius Traveller 100 :whistle:

My pad at my workstation is an unbranded pad, large. I have three pads at my gaming pc, Razor Destructor I, CM Storm M16 and a standard large Steelseries pad. Nothing beats the Razor Destructor... and I have been through many "pro" pads.

Note, I’m an RTS player, more so than a FPS player. Most gamers I know still play with a Logitech G400S and won't change until the mouse is dead.

It is also sorry to see that Zowie resellers in SA are OVER!charging the product, it is simply the best FPS mouse in the universe.

Edit, to add, when you buy a laser mouse get a hard gaming pad, the pad is everything. My 'hard' Destructor pad suits optical, that is why I have the ‘hard’ M16 to go along with the laser mice.
 
I've always played with an optical mouse until one day I decided to go wireless.
I got myself the Logitech G7 (used for 5 years), then I decided to go for the Logitech MX Revolution (used if fro 1 year) and one can feel it is not a gaming mouse so I got myself the MadCatz RAT7 (used if for 7 months) but was very disappointed, so I then got myself the Logitech G602 (using it for 1.5 years now) and I am very happy with it.
The thumb buttons could have been just a tad higher as sometimes when I grip my mouse to hard while shooting somebody, I will do a mid air melee/knife/kick because of the thumb button I've pressed.

Thanks for all the information... I know choosing a gaming mouse is like so difficult... I don't know which "grip" I have..

From the tip of my middle finger to my wrist is about 16cm. And at the moment I am using : Rocccat Pyra - Which is really small, but I have been using it for sometime now (Like 2 years?) and it's fine? But that on my laptop. And then at home I use the Microsoft Wireless Keyboard 2000 which is a more "palm grip"? I think you guys would say? And I'm also fine with that? So I think it depends which mouse I use, then I change my "grip". But I think I'm more of a "palm grip"

Actually, I play more MOBA games, basically just dota 2. And then every now and then some FPS (But not like serious online.) I played CS GO, L4D 2, Bordlands and a little MW. But most of the time I play Dota 2.

From all the reading, I think I'll probably come down the logitech ones: G700s / G502 not sure yet, still deciding. But the prices of these mouses are... so different...

LogiTech: G700s -R900-00
Zalman: GM4 -R600-00
Corsair: M95 -R800-00
Corsair: M65 -R900-00
Gigabyte: Aorus Thunder M7 -R650-00
LogiTech: G502 -R1200-00

Cleary the G502 is the most expensive above the rest, and I know and heard of the good rating.. But 502 is an old mouse. So I'm a bit worried about that.

:D :D :D THANK FOR EVERYONES COMMENTS :D :D :D

Yeah that will be the second part of the thread is the gaming mouse PAD...

I know the padding makes a huge different. Although I have a pad in mind.. Maybe I should just ask anyway, what padding should I go for ?


I will be googling now, so please don't post that link of googling for me :D
