I have fat hands, much like my EE width feet, so finding a mouse that's wide enough to be comfortable and not aggravate my budding carpal tunnel. The closest I found was the Cyborg RAT9 adjustable mouse. You can (within limits) make it wider, longer and taller, plus is has a nifty button that temporarily drops mouse sensitivity by 70% for precise aiming/clicking.

If you do any kind of serious/competitive gaming, wireless is a bad choice.

I use a Death Adder, love it.

heh.

Lots of different opinions. Which makes sense.

I looked hard at Mamba before I posted. But i read 2 complaints of where the rubber pieces on sides came off.

If that's a common issue it would be annoying to pay that kind of scratch for a mouse. I don't mind paying it if the thing will hold up.

The deathadder is attractive in the meantime.

Decisions decisions.

I really don't care if it's wireless or not. Matter of fact even if i went with the mamba i'd probably use it wired 99%of time.

Detailed feedback from either of the two above would be helpful.
actual durability and comfort comments from those who have used them.



I have never had problems with the rubber pieces, I use mine wired 99% of the time, while the batteries last a lot longer than the Logitech I was using, wired is full power 100% of the time so no worries.

I own a Logitech MX518 mouse with a backup in my closet; it's now been replaced by the G400. We use the MX518 for all of our Pro/E users at work and they love them.

Yah, it takes a minute to get used to.. but once you do, you'll never go back to a regular mouse.
