Damn my mouse feels like new. The damn scroll button was hard to move so I said eff this just a few minutes ago, tore the thing apart and damn, enough dust and crap on the scroll wheel axle like thing that when I used my air duster a fat dust bunny came flying up. Yuck. Just thought I'd share lol

Try having clean hands before you go gropin' your mouse! My roomate used to use my computer while he was eating cheetos or Doritos and my mouse and keyboard was all orange and cheesy.... now that's ****ed up!

Get a Razor Boomslang. Highest read rate of ANY mouse, optical or not. And it's cheap too. Only problem is, its not comfortable at ALL.

I got a $45 Microsoft optical (with the tilt scroll wheel--pimp!) abd it reads well enough for BF:V and UT aand such.

While we're on the subject of games, I figured I'll post this link. It makes me so very happy. It's about Half Life 2 getting 98% from PC Gamer!!!

Best mice are the Logitech series. wither the MX510's or the new MX1000 laser. A bit pricey, but so worth it. I only have an MX 500 that I got cheap, but my aim pwns. If you have a hard time turning or your aim is off, try adjusting your sensitivity. I don't play CS that often anymore, but I do a lot of graphics work. Also, a better mousepad does wonders.

I cant get into optical mice. Theyre just too darn light and unnatural.
