Suggest A Gaming Mouse
2008-09-22, 11:11 PM #1
I need to find a new gaming mouse with two criteria:

1: Must be either left-handed [very unlikely] or ambidextrous.
2: Must be corded. My apartment complex has so much wifi noise that my wireless mice are almost unusable.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

I highly doubt that wifi noise is a problem for high frequency RF mice... but Bluetooth might not work. Bluetooth mice are worthless for gaming, anyway.

Mickey Mouse has been in some video games, but I don't know if he's left handed...

Emon, trust me. I've read dozens of articles online abuot people having the exact same problem.

When I ran torrents over wifi [on a different machine so it wasn't performance hits], my mouse would become almost unusable. When I stopped them, it worked, every time, like science.

Suggestions were to change the channel the router went off from 1 to 6 or higher [2.4Ghz is both right around wifi channel 1 and what many wireless mice run at]. Which I can do for mine, but not for the apartments right next to me.

i don't think there are too many left-handed gaming mice.

Not that I've been able to find at least. Hence the alternative of it being ambidextrous. right-handed mice cramp me like death if I try to use them wrong.

I believe you, that's just weird.

You could try hand exercises (huh huh huh) to see if you can reduce the cramps.

All of their mice are symmetrical to a point where as a right handed user who's used to the MX Revolution, it's almost hard to use.

Get one and never look back. Don't be fooled by their G-series mice, the mx1000 is much MUCH nicer and out preforms them in every aspect. The last G-series mouse I used was godawful and skipped across the screen more often then not.


Did you even read the thread?

He needs a lefty mouse and he doesn't want wireless. Fail less, PLEASE.

Thank you for the suggestions. I had poked about on newegg, but hadn't discovered the handedness search filter!

I highly recommend this.

Absolutely no idea, sorry! I suppose you could go down to your local hardware store and see what they have? I'm sure there are mice that fit your criteria somewhere..

Razers are ambidextrous.

I was actually in a similar predicament. I have traditionally used the mouse with my left hand (though I am actually right handed). Though there are some pretty decent symmetrical mice, they just do not compare to using a mouse made for your hand. Regardless, I had pretty good luck with Logitech mice; I have used and like the MX310, G3, and the MX Revolution (though that one obviously does not fit the criteria). I never cared for the feel of Microsoft's symmetric mice and I have never used a Razer, so I cannot vouch for anything there.
