Only £6 :O A little less than the £68 I spent on the Logitech. Tempted to try a cheap one just to see what it's like. Plenty of cheap ones on Amazon with decent reviews. So long as it has side buttons.

None of them have side buttons in the right place!

I don't understand how hard it is to put thumb buttons next to my bloody thumb.

The (wired) Mad Catz Rat MMO 7 has good thumb buttons - five plus a dpad that are all usable with only a slight twitch from my thumb's natural resting place, and still allows lifting the mouse without pressing any of them.

The wheel is shite, the feet pick up dust too easily, the DPI switcher broke too easily, and sometimes it decides to send a double-click for the LMB - but it's still better than all the alternatives.

Why is it so hard to find a decent mouse? :( Probably wouldn't be so much of an issue if I wanted a wired one (maybe I should stick to my MX518) but there are few wireless mice that seem to fit what I want. Look at the side button placement of the picture I've attached. The back/forward buttons are on top of each other. Terrible, horrible, diabolical placement. How that mouse gets such good review I do not know.

If I want a good wireless mouse it seems the Logitech mice with Lightspeed and the Hero sensor are the way to go. Which is the:
G Pro - £130 - :O
G305 - £52 - Not unacceptable
G603 - £45 - Getting better

or the Lightspeed with the PMW3366 sensor
G903 - £99
G703 - £80

Also I'm learning PHP/Laravel.

I don't understand what the deal is with side buttons, but I'm not a power user.

I'm not really sure how much I use the side buttons but I do miss them when I don't have them.

I can't believe I'm tempted to buy a £130 mouse :O All the other ones seem to have various issues which are putting me off them.

Won't the same money buy you an equally good £6 mouse + ~50 pints?

Jeesh, it's a total no-brainer!

My bevved-up weakness was for domains that amused me.  I still have a few. misterclippy.com, mynameislegion.org etc.  I missed cyb.org by 10 days, which I regretted for years.

> Why is it so hard to find a decent mouse?

Probably because of Apple, and the arseholes who think they need to imitate them, and thus entirely cripple the choice in every arena Apple have products in.

I recently thought my computer was making bad noises indicating impending failure, but it turned out just to be the mouse cable scraping against a bit of foil. :S

Why - has PHP stopped being poo yet?

Maybe Apple should make gaming mouses. Or maybe not, cos they'd ruin them too.

My slightly pricey mouse arrived today and it is lovely. Understated design, nothing like a lot of gaming mice. Wireless performace is flawless. No noticeable latency at all, easily beats my wired mouse. Lovely buttons, scroll wheel feels nice and clicks nicely without scrolling.

It's ambidextrous, side buttons on each side are optional. I'm gonna try it with the right side ones in to see if I can use them without pressing them while holding the mouse. The DPI switch button is on the bottom, which some won't like, but I never used it on my MX518. And it's only 80g.l (26g lighter than my MX518)

I'm now sold on wireless. Wasn't expecting it to be as good as wired, but don't want to go back now.
