I really wish companies would stop making all of this wired crap. With today's technologies, wireless mice are just as responsive as wired. And with wireless mice, you don't have the inconvenience of the wire tugging, pulling or scraping across anything to reduce your accuracy.

I've just been in the market for a wireless MMO mouse. And the only real contender is the Razer Naga Epic Chroma. The deal-breaker with that mouse is the sensor used has forced acceleration, with no real 1:1 mouse:cursor movement. So, I had to buy the best wired MMO mouse: The Logitech G600. Thank goodness I don't need accuracy in MMO's where the wire will be slowing me down.

Outside of MMO's, I'm still using my trusty Logitech G700. Best wireless gaming+internet browsing mouse ever.

Best wireless mice in the world is logitech g403 prodigy. It came out a few days ago. Best additional buttons+wireless(for mmo/moba) is steelseries rival 500(it came out a few days ago as well).

Also want to add, that people that use a high relative sens/dpi setup (mouse dpi multiplied with in game sensitivity) do not experience wire tugging

Eh...my mouse is plugged into my keyboard -- no tugging whatsoever.

Having to recharge batteries can become a nuisance. Furthermore, mice with batteries are usually heavier, making them less than ideal for FPS gamers. I prefer to just plug, play, and forget. With regards to cable management, and cable drag, just purchase a mouse bungee like the Zowie Camade and you're problems are solved.

What I'd like to see: wireless charging capability between the mouse and mouse pad.

Sorry, my friend, but the SteelSeires Rival 500 is a wired mouse. Not wireless.

Thanks for the mouse bungee suggestion. I'll look into it.

Razer has such horrible software and I always go wired.  I use the same mouse for fps, moba and mmos and while the sensitivity and sensors may not matter much in MMO's they do in the others.  Oh man, and forced acceleration on some sensors is the worst thing for FPS.

The reason for this being a wire mouse is that it is being pushed as an e-sport mouse.  Wired mouse do not have a chance of having interference like a wireless mouse does.  That is the main reason for it.  1 sec of lag in a e-sport can be the difference between a win and loss.

Over the years I have used both and personally have found wired mouse preform better.  But that is only my opinion from my experiences.

I think the Logitech G900 Chaos Spectrum takes that over those. It's a great mouse with excellent report rate, dpi fast switching, and configurable button location. I just wish it had 4 side mouse buttons like G700S. The battery life is excellent.

Checked, g403 and g900 are identical in everything except shape, general dimensions and side button placement. and g403 is just much, much better for various grip styles.

I  just got a new mouse to replace my naga hex (which was awesome but broke).

This time I went for a logitech g502, which gets rave reviews everywhere. Unfortunately its not for me. Its too heavy, the mouse wheel (which has a free mode or a "slow" mode) is wobbly and even though it has the two modes the free mode doesn't have enough control, and the slow mode has a lot of resistance, audibly "clicking" into each groove of the metal wheel to the extent that I get pain in my index finger above the knuckle. The wheel button is also fairly unresponsive (and I use that a lot in games).

Ergonomically it is far inferior to the hex (for my grip at least), just doesn't give anywhere near the same support and the thumb rest is too narrow (and I have small hands). The upside is it looks amazing; but think twice before buying it!

I was actually just about to buy the deathadder because the naga hex was so good, so timely article. Its weird, I didn't realize how good it was until after it had broke and I had to go back to an old back up wrist killer and then this painful logitech.

I think wireless mouse would be as bad as wireless gamepads when it comes to input lag.

I'll stick to my wires. Lovely wires.

I my new EVGA mouse. Better for a palm grip than the mouse pictured above because the tallest part is the "butt" of the mouse, not the middle.
@urncaller EVGA Torq mice are ambidextrous.  2 programmable buttons on each side.

Logitech are for man hands, if you have danty hands the razor is the smart choice. g502 is fps mouse. The othe rpart of rzor I dislike ... "the cloud" who the heck wants a cloud for their mouse ? So dumb, hate clouds... love this mouse http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g602-wireless-gaming-mouse

I have small hands, but the 502 is actually too small for me compared to the razor naga (hex).

The naga hex has a more elevated mid section that supports my palm and a rest for my ring finger which lets my hand sit in a very relaxed position with little strain. It is also a lot lighter than the G502 from logitech which makes it easier to use if you need to pick the mouse off the mat to make small adjustments.

I am assuming from the pictures that the deathadder has that elevated mid section like the naga hex, is light, has a decent mouse wheel, and ample thumb rest/room because those are the really big downsides of the (supposedly brilliant) G502. I would get the new v2 hex, but its nearly twice the price of the deathadder.

This is one of the most usefull response threads on mmorpg.com.

I had the naga for 2 minutes before I sent it back. It felt light and cheap, the buttns where to small for my man thumbs and the the overall size was 2/5th smaller then the g602.

The g502 is not an mmorpg mouse, if you look at the designs of the mouse on logitech gaming website, they have drastically different features and shapes. THe Naga you have to use your finger tips for a man grip and that is the most uncomfortable way to try to play an mmorpg. I like placing my palm down and having a nice thumb rest, which the naga doesn't have. To top it off the Naga you have to buy separate the pinky rest... just lame


I dont have a g502, I have 602 huge difference.

http://gaming.logitech.com/en-us/product/g602-wireless-gaming-mouse This argument that a fps mouse is any where relative to mmo gaming or even moba gaming is kind of funny. Cause you are picking the product that has nothing to do with mmo or mobos and pretending it is the mouse that is supposed to compete with the naga . The razor shapes are made for children to young adults, not grown up gamers. The naga buttons where so small it was laughable.

People who love the naga #respect, it was just too small and light for my taste. the light weight made it feel cheap.  I think when one is used to the hefty feel and quality of logitech for the last 12 years, it is hard to use anything else.

Yeah, I am actually talking about the naga hex, sorry if that was confusing. It has six buttons on the side instead of the naga's big array of buttons. I find that I really only need three side buttons, plus the mouse button because I bind skills to the keyboard. The naga hex's side buttons were a bit small for my liking, but the mouse itself is so much more comfortable (painfree) to use. It must have a lot to do with the type of grip I use.

One downside for razor products I have used is that they don't seem to last long. The naga hex had a reasonable life I suppose at a few years, but I bought razor keyboard a couple of years ago and it broke after a few months. It was shit anyway so I didn't even seek a refund. A new keyboard is my next mission, but none of the shops around have the gaming keyboards out on display to try out, so like my experience with the mouse its probably going to be hit-or-miss. No matter how many reviews I read its hard to get a true feel for these things until you actual use them for a while.

Everyone I personally know that has owned a Razer mouse has said the same thing. They work great until they don't work anymore. And that usually happens within a year.

Back in 2007 I bought a Logitech G5. In 2009 I bought a G500 and gave my G5 to a friend who couldn't believe I'd spend so much on a mouse. Well, that G5 is still going strong, over 9 years later.

I also think Logitech mice tend to last longer than Razer from my own experience with both brands so now I stick to Logitech.

I prefer wired, but I also plug my mouse in to my keyboard.

There is no way wireless is better with a mouse, use the best option, not the trendy tech option. Wired every time.

a) @ wireless: i don't like it, bc my battery tends to go swooomp when i need it most (yes, i tend to forget to recharge it, so what, that's what cables are for)
and that is why they make em, so i can buy them :P

b) the problem never was the sensor imo, rather the buttons. they should really work on some more durable ones
