    Merged with the previous thread.

    You will struggle to get a good gaming mouse for €20. I'd say you'd need to stretch that to at least €50 to get anything other than a bog standard Microsoft mouse.

    PC World also do a Roccat Kova+ for €40 but it's pretty small from what I've heard. I'd really try and add a few quid to your budget as already suggested.

    I got the previous version of this. Use it in work and at home. Decent, though i dont play twitch reaction shooters normally. Large enough for my hands too which is a plus

    I actually bought this without knowing it was the one you said, it's not really small and probably the same size maybe bigger than my previous mouse.

    The 16 or so keybinds are handy

    By far and away my current favorite hyperion fury I have tested a hell of a lot of mice and this one just fits the bill for comfort and performance.

    I've bee using a Razer Naga Molten for the past 2 years. Brilliant mouse. Never had any issues with it.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,274 ✭✭✭de5p0i1er


    Logitech get great reviews I have a €15 one and it's served me well for many years. I've heard nothing but good things about there gaming range.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,754 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    New mouse time :)

    Amazon had a deal on the Logitech G402 hyperion fury, 60% off.. couldn't resist for 20quid in sterling.

    deal here if you're interested

    Picked up a G700s there and have been putting it through its paces the last week. Fantastic mouse, with the exception of the mouse wheel which is a little finicky; sometimes it's too sensitive, other times not sensitive enough. Just seems a little unpredictable or something. In terms of responsiveness and accuracy though, I couldn't fault the mouse itself. And being able to seamlessly switch from wired to wireless is great.

    The Final Mouse, by far the best ive used and ive used too many :)

    G502 is my current mouse, excellent really.

    Almost, almost as good as the MX518.

    Which was almost as good as the MX 510 ;)



    Using the G502 happily for a while now .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,930 ✭✭✭✭challengemaster


    Still using MX518 here. Have to really applaud Logitech for their quality. It must be 12 years old by now.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,754 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    yeah that mx 518 was ultra durable, i'd had mine for ages before the guide cushions wore down to the plastic, it still works reasonably well though.

    Logitech are reliable brand for mice with me

    Bought it myself during the week....Haven't had a decent mouse in nearly a year.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭Moon54


    I've seen some third-party replacement teflon pads for MX518 range mice on Amazon
    if anyone is experiencing ones that have worn down.

    Just out of curiosity i searched for the MX518 on amazon, it's going for 6 times what i paid for mine lol

    Yeah, that's probably some third party seller trying to cash in on the name, as the MX518 is no longer manufactured.

    I believe the Logitech G402 would be the spiritual successor to the MX518, although I notice there are several different types of G402.
    The £20 G402 Hyperion Fury is a best-seller on Amazon, but the is another G402 version that sells for £40 on there.

    Had the mx 518 for years and thought nothing could come close.Once I tried the final mouse I couldn't go back the 518 felt so slow and unresponsive by comparison, I couldn't believe the difference.

    The 502 Proteus Core is a modernised version of it, it looks ridiculous but has the same feel and better stuff.

    I still have a working 518, its totes going on ebay as the young lad loves the 502 to.
