Need the MX revo for mah mediacenter, gonna give this one a try on the desktop

Yaco · October 19th, 2008, 01:44 AM

Got it last night cursing after a coolent hose blew.

The beta actually felt less laggy but I did only play one game so far.

* UPDATE: Do not buy yet. Too many bugs, too laggy, and too many promises not kept. *

How do you like the Dare? I've been using it for a little while now, I can't really complain much, I like it. A friend of mine bought his a little bit before I did, and he loves it. Another friend just bought one 2 weeks ago and his has had issues with freezing and stuff, but he's yet to get it replaced.

I'd do it the other way around, the revo is a better workhorse what with its plethora of buttons and superior ergonomics.

After a day of trying it, I'm inclined to agree with you

It's a good mouse, just not quite as sweet as the revo
Only paid 30€ for it btw so it was worth the try

OMG, the bull agrees with me! What has this world come to? *faints*

We must keep this between us

Holy fuck I've never seen that mouse before, what a weird shape! Very sci-fi.

Greatgraddage · October 19th, 2008, 10:59 PM

New Gill waterproofs, wore them when teaching sailing saturday morning, so lightweight and comfy! Got them under 1/2 price online so was a bit worried about the fit but they are perfect and a bargain!

It's actually a very comfortable shape, very light & accurate.
The mx revo is still a bit better imho as i'm not really a gamer except for the occasional round of crysis. I could imagine FPS gamers could go nuts for this one

jimmymac · October 20th, 2008, 02:52 PM

popped these in the system on friday, all running lovely, just given Crysis Warhead a bash at max settings and it runs a treat.

Do you guys recommend the Logitech G5 or this, the G9?

I havent tried the G5 but this G9 is pretty damn good, the feel of it is amazing. Light and accurate, i still prefer my revo though, cuz i dont play that many games.
