Default The Mouse

Ok...... I feel like buying a new gaming mouse, but can't squeeze enough money out from my wallet, I can only afford a 1600DPi Razor Mouse, so should I get it? I had enough of my noob 600DPi mouse, I need something more kickass......
Anyway thanks....

Just about any mouse would do for gaming... I'm still using my ancient infrared mouse ... the one with a red light and made by Logitech... still works well and no problems when gaming .

Same here.

Having a really strong mouse isn't going to help you that much. Just experience.

I think the gaming mouse is a good idea. For some games it really helps out when you can just switch the DPI on the fly. To go from slow to standard to fast is pretty good. I have the razer copperhead mouse thats up to 2000 DPI it works really great. I also have a friend who got one and he likes it a lot too.

Ok just got mine today, a Razore Krait 1600DPi, the mouse is great!! Good sensitivity, speed and precision, but not too used with it though.... get it, you won't regret it, trust me.

Good so you got the mouse. Awesome! . So how does it feel to you? I bet it plays awesome. I love my Razer Copperhead to death and would never like to go back to a standard mouse. Its a lot easier to move around on high res when you have a gaming mouse. The standard mouse seems to be like to slow now.
