Hello,
now that I have my gaming rig updated to a high gaming pc, I need some good equipment too.
I'm looking for a new gaming mouse and a new mouse pad.

What is your budget for the gaming mouse?
My budget would be around €80-90.

What games will I use the mouse for?
FPS and MOBA.

FPS: CS:GO mostly.
MOBA: League of Legends.

Now, I've looked on the internet and I found some nice mice, but it's really hard for me to choose which one would be the best. There is not really a shop next to me to test them out. I don't really know if for example Razer or Steelseries is better because I never had any product of them.

Here are some mice that I really like cause of their design:

Razer Deathadder -> €80
Razer Taipan -> €90
Fnatic Gear Flick -> €60
Logitech G502 RGB -> €70


Also, I'm looking for a new mousepad, maybe you can tell me a good one.
Hopefully you can help me out and maybe recommend me a mouse. Maybe one more tip, I don't have large hands so maybe that's something to know.

Kind Regards,
Tony

Logithech is definitly your choice, even over the Zowie´s. :lol:



Maybe out of budget but for me the Logitech mx 518 is my favorite beast, I have it since 7 Years and it´s just so good. I would always suggest Logitech, they are overall the best in my opinion, the MX 518 was back in the days only around 50 Euros but it was soo good and the demand so high that Logitech made an updated version and added 100 Euros to the cost. Still great mouse 😀

Looking at your list I strongly suggest the Logitech G502 and for the mouse pad it make absolutely not difference you can grab what ever cheap stuff you find around, those mouses are so precise you won´t even see a difference with it, I use my Mx 518 on wood without mouse pad, the precision is the same.
 
Zowie ec2-a or the ec1-a probably one of the best mice ive ever used and within the first day of using it my aim was on point instead of the sometimes few days it takes to get used to a new mouse. Ive used a bunch of mice and a few mouse pads over my time playing cs. The zowie has a pretty similar shape to the fnatic flick but id still take my zowie over it. The shape of the ec1 or 2-a are a nice safe shape fitting most hands and grips. The mouse 1 and 2 buttons are so crisp and fast, 0 sensor issues so far and the material used for the mouse feels great. The only issue i have at all is the mouse4 and 5 buttons are glossy af.

For a mouse pad it somewhat depends if youre a high sens or low sens player, ive played on a pretty high sens and a really low sens as well. Whilst i havent used as many mouse pads as i have mice, im confident in saying a qck+ or qck heavy will cover most needs(unless you play on a hard pad)

For cs you sorta do want a light mouse(under 100g) Sensor isnt an issue for the mice you listed and most quality mice but i have had problems with the steelseriers rival(i fucking hate the rival) Out of those ones you listed the deathadder or the fnatic flick are probably your best bet. Im not sure your hand size but i got a bit annoyed of the deathadders shape but thats just preference as it is a great mouse.
 
Hello,

well, I can't go for the Zowie's because they don't sell them in Belgium here for some reason. I don't have large hands so I don't think the Deathadder would be good... so, logitech would be the best right?
