recommend a mouse

Post by SoM »

i have a logitech mx510 since it came out, 2 days ago the right button stopped working, tried fixing it, after doing some research it's the clicker thats busted which i can get for $2 on ebay.

the mx510 still goes for $50, but hard to find so i was thinking of getting the mx518 or maybe the m510 wireless ?

looking for a gaming mouse so throw some ideas at me.

Go find any old ps2 mouse(2nd hand store) and use a switch out of one of them, probably get one for 10 cents.

That switch is kindof a standard made by probably about a hundred companies, pretty universal. Some brands are better-Omron being one

mx518 is a great mouse, I'm using one right now and it's a favourite among gamers.

It's worth getting two 518s, the price of them just keeps going up and i bet they discontinue them eventually to encourage people to buy their newer, shitter mice.
