What's the best mouse for gaming? Heard that opticaL mouse not so good for gaming.

Anyone tried the Razer Boomslang?

tried raxer boomslng 2000 once..didn't like it..too wide and to low...buttons are too shallow..some prefer it as it makes it faster to shoot...

i use logitech MX700..the best optical cordless mouse..

Optical definitely wins over ball mouse. But low-end optical mouse maybe not as good overall as a good ball mouse, but then gamers don't buy low-end optical mouse.

I prefer a mouse with good shape rather than high performance.

i have an idea ...
catch a big fat mouse ...
kill it ... strip its skin ...
disinfect the skin, air dry it and preserve with chem ...
then tailor it to cover up your good-ol-mouse ...
this way we have a very HIGH END real mouse ... hahahaha

Cloud7: Optical mouse good wor...like mine wireless optical, damn chun.

i think the point is not whether about optical or roller. it's about the DPI(dot per inch) of the mouse.

If you can get an optical mouse with 800dpi and above, it's very good for gaming already. Anything less than that is no good.

The Razor Boomslang of course have something like 1200dpi if I'm not wrong, but I think over sensitivity also not good.

Belive me a decent 800dpi mouse do the job just fine.
