Mouse needs replacement. Could use advice.

Hello Community!

Like the name of the thread suggests and given the plethora of available mouse offerings out there, I'm kind of flabbergasted by them.

I did my hardest to boil it down to two options: Corsair Vengeance M65 and the Steelseries Rival 100, but I'd like some additional input from Tom's Community.

I currently have a CM Storm Inferno and it's been a good mouse, but the buttons are just crapping out on me (not failing to click, but the circuitry seems to be doing weird things). The software has been great and the quality of it is really remarkable for its price. The only let down was the optical sensor used, which was the crappy Phillips that moves when you raise it from the surface/mat/pad.

If you have a better suggestion, I'm all ears/eyes.

EDIT:

Logitech G502: £66
Corsair M65: £50
Steelseries Rival 100: £39

I added a 3rd option, thanks to gillhooley.

Cheers!

PS: In my own investigation, I gave this a read, so I will share it. Quite good information in there.

Thanks for that other option.

These are the prices here in the UK for them:

Logitech G502: £66
Corsair M65: £50
Steelseries Rival 100: £39

Is the Logitech worth the extra money in your opinion?

Cheers!

I got mine on sale and I like the extra buttons, but if you don't need them teh other options are good

I would recommend the newer version of the M65, its what I use:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant

Mouse: Corsair M65 RGB Wired Laser Mouse (£40.47 @ Scan.co.uk)
Total: £40.47
Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available

It is a toss up between the M65 and the Logitech. I personally preferred the shape and feel of the M65, and had no need for the extra buttons.
Plus its much cheaper.

Thanks for that!

From your link, Gam3r01, how trustworthy is the site "SCAN"?

They are the cheapest, but I haven't seen that company ever before.

Also, there are some comments about the middle button failing. Is that just bad luck with the ones they got or is that something "common" with the M65? Would you know by any chance?

Cheers!

I trust the site, PCPP really does no feature any sketchy sites.

I have had my mouse for nearly 2 years with no issue, and I havent heard anything of the sort from anyone else.
Even if it did fail, corsair does have great warranty support.

Ok, thanks a lot!

I'll get the M65 then.

Cheers!
