I got a new job, so I can spend some money on a few things. I want to buy a new mouse, a new mousepad and a new headset and I got a few questions about it.

About the mouse: I got a A4tech X7 mouse, wich I bought for 26 Euros, is it worth it to buy a new mouse for max. 60 Euros, if so: Wich one?.


About the mousepad: My parents are complaining about me hitting my mouse to my mousepad when i play Quake. I got some cheap steelseries mousepad, and I want a new one wich doesnt make loud noise (maybe softer one) and wich is not too expensive.


About the headset: Got a crap headset and I want a new one, also not too expensive.


I also lost my life since I play E+, but buying a new one would be too expensive I think. Big grin


cheers, divin

Mouse:

Hi there, I currently use Logitech G700 and I can tell you it's a very good mouse, until the clickers will fail, meaning you will double click when you don't want to. But it's easy to replace them I heard and other than that, the mouse is extraordinary. It's a little heavy though, so if you're used to light mouses you might want to get a heavier one to see how it feels or even the G700 if you can borrow it for a week or so.

Mousepad: I use QCK+ and I don't recommend it. It will make your mouse feel like gliding on sandpaper after a while. I think you should go with Steelseries 5L. I heard only good things about it and plan on buying it in the future. You can see a review here (text and video).

Headset: Here I'm not sure what to recommend, but I would go with something from this page:

It depends on your budget, if you would've given me some numbers I could've made more precise recommendations. Cheers!

Laptop: Sony Vaio 3D: VCPFX215FX/BI with 1TB SSD Samsung 850 Pro.
Mouse: Logitech G502 Proteus Core.

The double click is apparently a common problem with Logitech I have already repaired 3 mice of them and it’s very easy but you need to take your time to do so. You only need to open the mice and the open the switch with the double click on it ( do this very very carefully so you don’t break the button case ) then clean the inside of dust witch cause the double click problem. It’s very easy to do if you are carefully so no need to send it back or buy a new one unless you want to replace it under warranty.

so you say dust is the problem? interesting.

Mouse : Logitech MX518 (the reputation of this famous mouse is already made) or Logitech G400 (I'll buy the last one when my MX518 will die, this is the last version of the MX518).

Mousepad : Steelseries QcK Heavy or another QcK from Steelseries, the only good mousepad on earth. Smooth, comfortable, as famous as the MX518 for mousepads. I don't understand Paradise comments about this wonderful mousepad. You should try it : you can buy it and send it back before seven days if it doesn't fit to you to get your money back.

Headset : the Beyerdynamics DT990 seems to be a good one, but I don't know your preferences about headsets. Any headset from a good brand could fit to you.

Mice: razer deathadder black edition (one thing i dislike of this mice is the shape) but u always can take the sensor of it and put in for example kinzu or spawn or mx518 corps. But for other things if u get used to it as i did, the mice is amazing cos of his sensor Happy

Headphones: Sennheiser hd555 no need for more that this Happy

Mousepad: Well, i want this one now Leather Desk Mat 38x24 - Office Accessories Plus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xp1Ca4zifF0&feature=related
since i tested my da on leather and worked pretty damn good x) but for other micepads, some corepads are very good if u dont want that one ''leather'' buy then corepad eyepad Happy

p.s. if after buying mouse. headphones and mousepad, u have some free money, i strongly recommend you the belkin n52te, all who own one, enjoyed the gameplay with it.
