Gaming Mice

[Eightball]

I like my Logitech G500, but the mouse wheel is kinda shitty.  Normally I'm only annoyed by the too-low friction, meaning it keeps on rolling for a while unless I manually stop a scroll. Now there's a new problem: a few days ago when I was playing Stalker, I found that the wheel is also way oversensitive. The game constantly picks up minute movements and thinks that I want to switch weapons when I don't.  I suppose part of the fault lies with the Stalker devs, but still, it never happened with my old G5.  Not enough to make me buy a new mouse but still irritating.

You are using the lock function right? The G500 has a free-spinning and a "notched" scroll setting, switchable by the button just south of the mouse wheel. If I play anything and leave it in free-spinning, I have accidental weapon switch and fuck-ups like you're describing.

As someone who's always enjoyed having a gaming laptop and taking it everywhere...

Been using it since 2009 now, ordered the new model at the end of last year when the scroll wheel on the first one died. It's comfy as hell, I hate regular mice now.
