Best mouse and pad for grinding?
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.
And you weren't throwing the mouse against the wall again were you?
I prefer wired > wireless personally.
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.
You need to find something with a wide topspread.
agreed....never heard of mouse lagging other than batteries being low....wonder if your usb jack is messed or something?
is use the middle button to toggle table ninja in and out....
now i gotta google wide top spread.
Not playing 40 or so like you do my friend . lol 4 at the most I am getting old ya know..
The mouse itself is actually a little more compfy to use than the dell mouse that came with the computer.
have a simple logitech m510 for desktop.....works great, batteries seem to pop out on occasion when gently tossed against the wall on the other side of the room.
have another logitech (smaller) for laptop...same issues as above.
never had any lag issues, and can use on any surface
I have a microsoft laser mouse as well. Never any issues although goes through a battery every month or two.
Flinging the mouse against the wall or it decides it want to fly across the room will usually do that lol
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 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..
Best I've used
Logitech Wireless Trackball (M570) : Trackballs - Best Buy Canada
Trackball I heard is better if CTS is a concern.
cts = ?
been using 1 for 2+ years now. Takes some getting used to, but I like it.
CTS = Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Tbh, never used a gaming mouse, but if you tile, pretty sure it's better
Maybe someone who's used both can chime in
The Basics.
1. Wired is better than wireless because there is no lag and better reliability.
2. Get a high DPI mouse. It makes it much easier to play, and you use less effort.
3. Buy a couple, it's nice to keep a spare plugged in so that if you run into problems you always have a hot standby.
4. Good choices are the Logitech G500 or the Microsoft X3. I have both.
I have a couple of nice Logitech trackballs. Gaming mice are the way to go. If you are starting to get CTS it's sometimes a relief to play trackball. But it's better to stop altogether.
Where did you pricematch to?
Wired mice dont need batteries either, its a no brainer IMO
By the way, Logitech never did ship me a replacement M500 mouse that they promised and auto-returned my email inquiry, but I haven't bothered following up since my G500 has been working fine.
