Hey guys, I want to replace my Razer Abyssus as I am afraid of getting Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Using the Abyssus forces me to close up my hand and apparently, that isn't good. So, I am considering the Steelseries Ikari Optical/Laser.. Because of the ergonomically friendly grip it offers. I'm not much of an FPS player, will be playing the upcoming Diablo 3 and Guild Wars 2.. Question is, is the build of the Ikari Laser better than Optical? I would want a mouse that will last me quite some time.. If you think there's a suitable mouse other than Ikari, please do recommend me. Thanks  |

Don't currently have CTS, but I'd like to avoid it.
Logitech G400? Looks pretty small on the Logitech website though.
EDIT: OH scratch that, YouTubed G400 and it is almost the same size as the deathadder.
I'd like a mouse that will force me to stretch open my fingers.

I see that you want to upgrade to G500.
Any big difference between G400 and G500?

Between SS Ikari and Logitech G400.
Size difference?
Ergonomic-wise?

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ May 14 2012, 09:18 AM) The Ikari is flatter and wider but the G400 is taller I prefer the Ikari but its old and for its price not really worth is for the tech.. you're pretty much paying for the design of the mouse actually.. The G400 is a refresh of the Mx500 which features the same contours with updated sensors if you're getting the Ikari, go for the laser one as the optical is just a basic house IMHO software is crap unlike the laser ed... but at RM199 and RM269 its not the best value for the old tech but the grip is one of a kind in our market with the absence of Myonix branded mouse you can just go for the G400, if you don't like it RM89 is pretty easy to replace don't you think?? the software from Logitech is top notch as well and if you have other peripherals from logitech such as the G510 and the F510 for instance, the software detects them as well... IINM you could re-map all of the buttons on the mouse Thanks for this. In australia, the G400 cost $44 including shipping. I think I'll grab the G400 when I get back home. Seems like most people buy Ikari for the shape and the brand, but I kinda like that their cord is braided.. |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ May 14 2012, 11:07 AM) Since you're in Australia, you can consider the Mionix Naos 3200 or 5000 in your list.. they have almost the same shape with the Ikari but with bling and weights  dunno if the cables are braided though Never heard of that brand before, but from pictures, the Mionix Naos 3200 has braided cord. The Mionix Naos 5000 is a little over my budget, $90. Australia's electronic goods tend to be much more expensive compared to Malaysia because of the tax. |

QUOTE(Clem1982 @ May 14 2012, 02:03 PM) for all I know, Aus relies heavilly on Electronics Boutique & Harvey Norman and they are everywhere in major shopping centres... not sure if there any new ones out for the last 7 years or not lolz Checked out JBHifi and Harvey Norman. No Steelseries Ikari Laser and Logitech G400. Pretty sad huh? Most of the stores are online and based far away from the CBD, which forces me to pay freight fees. $44 = RM140 - RM150.. I'd rather wait till a friend visits me from Malaysia and ask him/her help me buy  |
