G5 for me with Rocketfish mouse pad (mouse pad made bigger difference for me than mouse)

I'm currently using the G9 of logitech aswell, though i'm thinking about buying myself this one:

Razer NAGA

Before I bought my IME3.0, I never thought a few more buttons on the mouse would make any difference. It is only after really mapping some of the most commonly fumbled keys (especially in the heat of battles) to the mouse (the optics and reload) that I realise just how darn convenient it is to not have to look for keys on the keyboard anymore! Well, the Naga looks extreme but hey, we are all used to sending messages using our thumb on our mobile phones, right? The Naga's keys are setup just like a mobile phone and I kinda think its gonna be quite intuitive to use. As some of you suggest here, having the map button on the mouse could be useful too as looking for the M key is a bitch when things gets heated up. Also wanna map the weapons selector to the mouse, again, more intuitive to use. Well, with so many keys I want on the mouse, it does look like the Naga's gonna be my next choice...hehehe

I have a MS sidewinder too, it's light, not too big, has excellent tracking.

On top of all that it has 2 very handy buttons you can use with your right thumb, without having to really move it a lot.

The good thing is that these sidebuttons are "vertical" so you can easily push the right one very naturally.

I went into a shop where they had multiple mice on display and i just took the one that felt best in my hand. Very pleased with it and it wasn't very expensive.

Holy crap! Is that a phone on the side? :D

Now that is what i need! Then i can have MAP, TS, FREELOOK and "bring up porno pics" in the middle of battle plus all kinds of useless functions. :D

Seriously though - i need that mouse.

Fits my hand perfectly, good weight, glides nicely. Buttons are very responsive and it has good durability. Plus it looks sick.

+1 My Thoughts Exactly.

Also The Logitech MX518 is an awesome mouse Aswell:)

Due to prediction MX518 is not accurate.

Does it really make any difference? For OFP and Arma my good old cheap Genius mouse was as good as this 40 eur Revoltec. In other games, where pace is quicker, yes, there is some difference.

Some cheap optical genius USB mouse, you know, it has two buttons and a scroll. Not much to say about it.

I think what made the biggest difference for me was the extra buttons. You don't know how frustrating it is for me to take a peek down on my keyboard to see where the reload and optics buttons are...sigh...especially with TrackIR on where my view will be messed up and then I lose track of my target. With those buttons on my mouse, I can stare at my target the whole time and still bring up my sights or reload at the same time now! :)

Razer Mamba. Very good wireless, when the battery dies you can recharge and use at the same time with the usb cable. Has dedicated buttons for sensitivity change - useful for a large monitor where Windows speed settings aren't enough. Also it is big - my hands are 20x20cm and I don't like using small rodents.

I have 2 computers, both with ArmA II.

One uses Razer Death Adder, the other has G9 mouse.

I prefer the Death Adder tho, it just feels really nice on the hand (don't get me wrong, G9 feels pretty nice also) but my personal choice when feeling both is the Razer Death Adder.

Also with the G9, pressing down on the mouse wheel feels funny and the side buttons aren't as big as the Death Adders, mouse wheel on death adder (scrolling it and pressing it) feels very nice also compared to G9.

Now, if the Razer Lachesis is the same mouse as the Death Adder cept the extra buttons on the front middle, i'd totally get the Lachesis then.
