Hey guys just asking what is the best gaming mouse to buy?

I have been looking at the G9 and the DeathAdder but dont know what one to buy.

If there are better ones please reply with the name of it.

Thanks, Luke

I've been using the Logitech G9 for the last few months. Best mouse I've ever used, very customisable. You can set up profiles for different games and programs, change the feel of the mouse using internal weights and even change the size of the grip by swapping the cover.

The resolution and accuracy are excellent and can be changed on the fly with the switch near the left button. It has 2 large teflon-coated feet, front and back, and glides smoothly on the mouse mat. The control panel is complex but easy to use once you get the hang of it.

The 2 thumb buttons on the left side are useful, but the one nearer the front can be awkward to reach.

The best feature for me is the scroll wheel. There's a switch underneath that makes the wheel click (good for weapons swapping in games) or scroll smoothly (good for scrolling web pages accurately). The scroll wheel also acts as a button and can be used to scroll left and right.

Highly recommended.
