This thread is purely for discussion and comparison, not for users of any mouse to report in. For users who wanna spread their fanboyism, they can do so in their respective brand's thread, not here!

I've added the link wildwestgoh provided and 2 more regarding grip styles. Please do PM if you want me add more links and details to the first post biggrin.gif

I wanna get a replacement for my Kone[+], any idea guys? I want a similar button layout and functionality if possible. I've considered Corsair M95 and M65 but the M65 my friends keep say doesn't look good sad.gif while M95 doesn't look good to me because its too fat though I think I will appreciate it having more thumb buttons.

Thanks for all the feedback. I guess for now I will wait for my Kone[+] to die on me before changing one. Seems excessive laugh.gif

Saw some serious online review gives it a great point as well for the sensor, seems like a breakthrough of optical sensor so far.
But the design is kind of awkward, although if the feels is similar to MX518 I might... consider it in my list next to SS Rival... brows.gif

Yes the tracking is awesome. Gives me a lot of control. Overall feel is awesome. Went from Kone[+] to G502. So far so good!

Logitech G502 Proteus Core Review

user posted image


Introduction:
I will be comparing this mouse mostly to Roccat Kone[+] as it is the only gaming mouse I have ever used. Prior to getting this I have considered Corsair M65 and M95 but settled on the G502 due to price, design (button layout, size) and finishing used.

Price ★★★★★ RM189 :
I rate it 5 star because I got it for RM189 and I came from Roccat Kone[+] which costed me over RM300.

Ergonomics and button layout ★★★★★ :
Again I rate it 5 star because the mouse just suits the size of my hand very well. I would describe my hand to be slightly smaller than average guys but larger than girls with large hands. The Kone[+] was larger on the palm rest area so it actually made long duration of usage uncomfortable. The mouse has a total of n buttons, namely 1 DPI shift, 2 thumb buttons, 2 DPI up/down, left/right click, middle scroll click, left/right scroll click and a middle G9 click (below scroll). The DPI shift and thumb buttons are well located, when pressing them they just give you a satisfying tactile feel that you have pressed them (although I do not know how long to this feel may last). The middle scroll is indeed something new, 2 interchangeable modes. One where the scroll is clicking while another is smooth scrolling. I like smooth scrolling but sadly not all applications we use support smooth scrolling so for now I'm sticking with the clicky scroll.

Build quality / Finishing ★★★★☆ :
For a mouse which costs me RM189, I would rate it 4 stars out of 5. The cable is braided but not like Corsair or Razer keyboard braided quality. The cable itself is quite jumbled up so it may take a little time to straighten it up out of box. The thumb rest area and pinkie rest area are rather thick rubberised, not a coating (I think). So there is no need to worry about the rubber coating coming off. The main body and left/right click however are of cheaper quality of matte finishing. I would've preferred a more luxurious finishing but RM189 is what RM189 is. The middle scroll is metallic and cold to the touch, scroll it has a rather 'heavy' feel like scrolling the volume rocker on Corsair K70 keyboard. The DPI shift button, DPI up/down button, both thumb buttons and the middle G9 button are all glossy finished. It is a good mix. One of the criteria I look for when getting a peripheral is that I prefer it easy to clean biggrin.gif

Tracking / Mouse Feet / Sensor ★★★★☆ :
I'm using this mouse mainly at 4500DPI, shifting to 3000DPI when required. Tracking is awesome as I feel it gives me much more control than my Kone[+] most probably due to new mouse feet. I've used both mouse on a newly purchased Razor Sphex. As most users know, max DPI do not translate to best accuracy tracking so for the short week of having been using it, I believe the G502 is giving me excellent tracking at 4500DPI on shooting games and others. Games I play includes CS:GO, Diablo 3, Hitman Absolution, Ghost Recon Phantoms. I'm a lazy person so I do not use the weights at all to increase the weight of the mouse. I'm pretty sure it is a perk for some users. Surface tuning is a pretty neat feature but I have yet to test it out thoroughly as I only have Razor Sphex with me. However on the Roccat Kone[+] it has worked effectively on different surfaces.

Software ★★★☆☆ :
3 stars because in terms of UI design I find the Roccat software easier to use when using it the first time. However functions do not lack. In terms of software functionality and customisability it is almost equal of that Kone[+]. Kone[+] has the ability to adjust lift-up distance and double click speed (although Windows does that too). Both software provides the ability to switch profile automatically according to the game or application you are running. In terms of bling, Kone[+] wins hand down with all the colour led customisability. The Logitech, G, however is pretty annoying but the software has the ability to switch it off.

I guess that concludes my review. If there is anything you would like me to test or try do not hesitate to ask nod.gif

Been using the Logitech G502 1st gen for almost 2 years. Replaced it with the Corsair M65 Pro RGB last month, so far so good! Much prefer the texture on the M65.

Isn't this normal here? Most distributor will not entertain warranty if no receipt. Some give the reason that you have bought the item from oversea (normally at lower price), thus taking advantage of the market.
From my experience, I always took my case to international level, the main HQ. Then, show the HQ letter to local distributor.

Sometimes it can be the opposite too. Main US HQ says my warranty not valid, but local MY distributor honors my RMA.
*
Consumer rights and awareness not the best in Malaysia. Most of the time main HQ will honour the warranty but in the cases that they don't, it is usually stated in their warranty policy because they also don't want consumer to take advantage of the grey market, undercutting their distributors and such.

For items with serial numbers, manufacturing dates can be used as substitute for purchased date, or purchase receipt in this case, and have the warranty period commence from that date. But unless stated on the box or website or etc, if the distributors do not have this information it is simply too much customer service to provide and they just don't entertain you, easy.

Just got a Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless. Gotta say its really nice. The thumb buttons has a really good click feedback and it is well dampened and doesn't feel mushy. The big size feels great on my mid sized hand. The overall build and finish of the mouse is just great smile.gif

Also able to save 3 profiles on board with limited lighting options.

Will take some close up photos tomorrow but meanwhile I have some shots with my phone:

Anyone using the Razer Viper Ultimate?

The review's been pretty positive so far

Seems like some people are having QC issues with the left/right click and low quality battery.

Damn! so much difference. Light weight and wireless will make you aim better regardless what skill level you have.

Why did you pick the RVU over the GPro?

Right now im using Logitech G903. Its my first wireless mouse. The only complaint for now is the middle click mouse.
*
Having a hard time middle clicking?

I have the Logitech G304 wireless, G403 wireless and G603 wireless. So far only the G304 is working perfectly fine because I rarely use it. G403 middle click is very tacky and hard to click and some times it doesn't register. G603 having double click issue but most likely due to dirt.

And then I had the 1st Corsair M65 wired, thumb button's click broke. Still registers when pressed down hard but no longer clicks. Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless worked fine initially but eventually developed double clicking issue (registers an extra or more click before lifting button up) on my right click and some months later happened to the left click too. Returned it and expecting a new one soon.

Just got the Corsair Dark Core Pro yesterday and I must say it feels like best built of the bunch. All the buttons are pleasant to click, and I mean ALL, including the 2 thumb buttons and extra 2 index finger buttons. The palm area has a rubber finish to it while the thumb and pinkie resting area might look like they are rubber too, it is not, which comes as a pleasant surprise. For the RGB junkies, this mouse has 8 RGB zones to customise laugh.gif Oh and did I mention it has a TYPE C charging port? And you get a Corsair branded TYPE C cable? rclxm9.gif
