Gaming Mouse - Which would you use?

X7 Gaming Mouse


This is the mouse I use. It's a gaming mouse, I had gotten some years back, I didn't get the high end ones. This is an older model X708, 800dpi, optical mouse. For those who are gaming frequently or play a lot of shooting games, well you may want to consider getting a gaming mouse instead. It boost higher resolution for better precision, has configurable mouse buttons where you can program to do say "double click" at the touch of one button.

This mouse allows you to:

1. Adjust double click speed
2. Re-program the mouse for a left handed (basically it's swap left and right button)
3. You can even configure and set your mouse with gaming commands. According the the manual that I have, it's sort of like you record the keystroke correspond to say a game that you commonly play. Manual showed the keystroke for Counter Strike. Like "ctrl" (Hunker down) and "R" for reload of bullets. (I didn't program for a game, but I used it for something more relevant to my work)

Later version of the mouse has better resolution. I had pick out those links for you to take a look.
