  1. The hardware reviews are inexplicably faintly depressing these days. What gives?
  2. If someone is used to a Logitech MX518/G400, would this be a good replacement?
  3. I miss Jeremy Laird.
  4. Gaming mouse of choice of the POTUS!
  5. I bought this mouse on boxing day after getting annoyed with the scroll wheel on my avatar s not working properly and it sometimes stopping working requiring me to unplug and plug it in again. This mouse is pretty decent; I like to use the two buttons on the side to go forward and back when browsing. I don't use the one below the scroll wheel, I forgot about until I read this article.
  6. But I am a man with big hands. A big-handed man. And you know what they say about men with big hands! Yes, that's right, they require big gloves. Pinched fingers are very uncomfortable. Large-handed people (men or otherwise): I suggest the Logitech G502.
    1. I have the G602 and have to say it is my favourtie mouse ever. It looks a bit less like a Transformer than the G502, which is a plus in my opinion.
    2. The G502 is beautifully balanced, and only consumes the small amount of the wielder's blood that it requires to maintain its powers.
    3. Even large handed men would be better off without a mouse that weighs over 150g.
    4. I'd rather not put my hand on something that looks like it bites.
  7. I'm right handed but use a mouse in my left half the time. It helps to prevent RSI, and didn't take long to learn. As such I always prefer mostly symmetrical mice (I only use two buttons and a scrollwheel, so simpler is better. I currently use a Zowie, but had considered an SS - maybe next time. (I always use cable mice and keyboards too). :-)
  8. Ooh, something I can kind of contribute to! I had the Rival 100 for about two years and I had very few complaints. It's a good shape for medium-sized hands and palm grip, and like Katharine says, it's pleasingly light. The material is very nice, too - even though it was only $30, it has a nice matte finish that doesn't feel cheap at all. My main issue was the grippy plastic on the sides: it feels fine, but not as nice as the main body of the mouse, and it had a tendency to collect dirt in the grooves. Judging from the pictures, the 110 has the same material. I wasn't a fan of the scroll wheel, either (it was slightly louder than I'd like and not as smooth) and I had to wrap the cord around one of my keyboard feet to keep it from getting in my way. Again, this was the Rival 100, so I'm not sure how much applies to the 110. Still, I'd recommend it without a second thought, especially for the price and if you want something that doesn't look like a robot.
    1. Bought this mouse on black friday, I also own a Rival 100. Had to return it because of the really loud and stiff scrollwheel. So yeah, it's exactly the same as the Rival 100, except for the wheel, which is awful.
    2. I've been using the original Rival for about 5 years and it might be the best hardware purchase I've ever made. It's the rare mouse that has so few issues that I forget it's there, it just does the job.
    3. I'll second this. The Rival 100 is by far the most comfortable mouse I've found for a fingertip style grip. The Sensei is a nice option if you're left handed but it's a tad heavier than I'd prefer. I imagine the shape would also work for other styles as well. I just can't stand slanted mice like the Rival 300 or what other brands offer. The build quality feels extremely good and is not what I'd expect from their lowest priced mouse. Needing to clean the side grips every so often is a drag but otherwise it's perfect for me.
