After 4 years my old Logitech MX 1000 got a malfunction: The cursor suddenly "jumps" in upwards movements randomly few centimeters higher than the mouse moves. Very anoying when aiming for a HS! After this malfunction made me miss 4 hs and 5 vehicle kills (rocket straight in the air...:( ) in few rounds, it was time to buy a new one.
1st choice after 40 mins in 3 stores was a Microsoft SideWinder X8 Mouse (http://www.microsoft.com/germany/hardware/games/sidewinder-x8-mouse/default.mspx).
...if it was a horse, I would have killed it!
Much too few weight. The designer seems to never have heard about ergonomics. After few minutes usage I automaticly missed the LMB, trying to click RMB often resulted in a additional wheel scroll. "Forward" and "Back" buttons are so easy to click, that my thumb cant stay on them while moving. The whole behaviour in windows and ingame is very strange. Settings seems to differ in almost every application: If the settings fit ingame - they suck in the games menu or in normal windows environment. On dpi-resolutions above 3000 the mouse does rubberjumps on the screen. Even after 5 days and hours of setting-try-outs I cant get used to it and take it back to the store.
After a lil discussion we agreed, that I can return the sidewinder and take anotherone. So 2nd choice is:
Logitech Performance MX (http://www.logitech.com/de-de/mice-pointers/mice/devices/5845)
A lot of additional charging cables and adapter. (they even fit for my phone and mp3player). 100% ergonomic, pretty heavy in weight, well placed buttons for my large hand. Very good ÂÂ*and many adjustable settings for each button. Now I have a "copy - paste" button on the mouse. The wheel has 2 modes: "Locked" scrolls page by page/ row by row detailed. "free run" enables the wheel to turn unbraked and continue scrolling whitout further finger-triggers. Awesome webpage scrolling!
The speed and accerlation settings are very handy. And it is fitting global! Mouse accerlation is also avialable ingame. A very good feeling from start.
