i'm on a posting rampage! ---gaming mice
 
ok, just thought i'd throw this out there. last i checked, there were still some available. i'm looking at buying a new mouse, the same as my current one, because my current one has had a lot of abuse and is getting a little old. unfortunately, i can only purchase these in quantities.

i am looking into buying some razer boomslang 2000's. anyone that has used these know they're pretty much the most accurate mice available, very ergonimic, and improve gaming and photshop-like stuff immensely. they are a whopping 2000 dpi. truly amazing devices, i have not found anything that compares as of yet.

if anyone is interested, let me know. i can get quantities as low as 3, and i would be willing to deal with most likely having 2 (one extra for good measure.. or my other desktop could really use it).

get the logitech mx500 sexiest mouse ever

iroc409 02-15-2003 02:18 PM

*sniff*... 800 dpi... why doesn't anyone else come up with a hi-res mouse???

airspirit 02-15-2003 02:20 PM

dpi and refresh rate are two different stories. If it has awesome dpi but slow refresh it won't perform as well as a mouse with lower dpi and higher refresh. 99.9% of us wouldn't need anything greater than 800 dpi anyway.

iroc409 02-15-2003 02:23 PM

true... but the razer runs fast too. i used to be able to adjust that part, but there aren't xp drivers. the 2000 dpi is very handy in photoshop tho, and for those exceptionally long-range head shots.

btw, has anyone used the mx700? it looks pretty much the same as the 500, but cordless. just curious, been somewhat afraid of cordless mices, but it's a cool idea.

I have two now. Very nice.

http://www.thinkgeek.com/computing/input/gaming/371a/ still sells them, but for $90 big ones!!! Geeze, I remember them being $80 when they were new at BB (in fact I remember them being on clearence for REAL CHEAP and being bummed out I didn't have the 40)- $90 for a mouse!!

Pricewatch still has the 1000s for $42 shipped.

I've got the logitech dual mouseman optical 2x800dpi
great for gaming etc... no problems with it.
looks to be around $35 but I'm sure you can find it cheaper

i can get them a lot cheaper than $90/ea, larger discounts on volume. so, if anyone is interested still, lemme know.


i might try out that mx700 anyways, just for fun. but i still love the razers :D

i'm not looking to make $$ here, just trying to benefit myself, and maybe someone else too :)

yeah, some people can't get used to them :(

hey, has anyone used the mx700 with a kvm? i'm looking at probably getting a switch for my setups, but keeping one mouse would be somewhat beneficial. i imagine you'd lose most of the buttons with it, unfortunately.

oh yeah, i'm also kinda looking towards iogear for the kvm. i think i want to go with a good usb kvm, probably 4 computers, although i could get by with 2.

mx700 owns all .. literally .. i lubber it 2 death it's like a corded opy--Josh

cybrsamurai 02-17-2003 06:43 PM

I would go with the MX700 I love mine!
