Best mouse and pad for grinding?

BlondeFish

First my old Dell optical corded mouse started getting laggy on my Dell laptop (+ 2nd TV screen) until it stopped working. I bought a Logitech Corded Mouse M500, which was much better. After a while, it started freezing/lagging too and the USB sound would go on as if my mouse was unplugged then plugged back in (even though it was plugged the whole time). It suddenly went dead today, and my old Dell mouse is semi-working but is too laggy to multi-table.

What are the best mouse and pad for multi-tabling? Has anybody else here had mouse lag problems and found a permanent solution? I'd hate to buy a high-end high-DPI gaming mouse and pad, and end up with the same lag.

Have a simple wireless logitech M310. Cost about $40-$50 at future shop.

Never an issue.

Have a MX510 on one desktop which has been used for about 5-6 years now with no issues. And a Logitech G5 on my main desktop that's been used for 3 years with nossues

You do know there are batteries in the wireless mouse right? Assuming they are good, mice rarely fail. Perhaps something else on your computer? Get yourself a cheap corded usb mouse and make sure where the issue is.

And you weren't throwing the mouse against the wall again were you?

I prefer wired > wireless personally.

The Walking Boss bought a Lexma. Just a dinky little wired mouse for the laptop 2 yrs ago. Wally Mart $20.00 Never had an issue.

I just put the new mouse That My Grandkids bought me for Christmas on the desk top. I know AJ and Hellmuths Mole will have something to say about.

So Far it works great
pureorange.ca I guess is where you would find it. I know it was at Wally Mart during the silly season.

Thankfully both of those logos are covered by your hand for the mostpart during use.

That mouse would give you carpal tunnel in less than a year multitabling for long sessions.

You need to find something with a wide topspread.

I use the logitech performance mouse MX. Dont need a pad and design/comfort is top notch. It has frozen on me before but otherwise is great

agreed....never heard of mouse lagging other than batteries being low....wonder if your usb jack is messed or something?

Flinging the mouse against the wall or it decides it want to fly across the room will usually do that lol

meh. Had a mouse and eventually just used the touchpad. Add tableninja FTW.

I also prefer corded/wired over wireless so that when I gently fling the mouse against the wall, it hits me back in the face! ;)

According to both the Logitech and Future Shop techies, my Logitech Corded M500 is totally dead. Fortunately, it is well within the 3-year warranty so Logitech will ship me a replacement which will arrive in 7-10 business days.

In the meantime, I bought a Logitech Gaming Mouse G500 ($90 at Best Buy but pricematched it for $55), which has adjustable dpi from 200 all the way up to 5700 dpi. Now I can quickly move from a table in the top right corner of my 42" TV all the way to a table in the bottom left corner of my second screen without barely moving the mouse; before with the M500 with only 800 dpi, I would run out of space moving the mouse on the pad and would have to lift it up then move it again to switch between the two screens.

I also bought a SteelSeries Pro Gaming mousepad.

I have used the G500 before and it was good for playing games and stuff ( I play StarCraft 2 quite a bit ) but for poker I prefer this one..Newegg.ca - Logitech Performance Mouse MX

I got it for$79.00 on there a while ago, super comfy and it's wireless but if you want to just use the USB cable you can have it wired as well..

Trackball I heard is better if CTS is a concern.
