So... i'm kinda wanting to buy myself a new gaming mouse... the one i have is your simple logitech mouse with couple extra buttons on the left
I'm curious anyone out there who has the Hex and has actually tried it during the beta if they loved it or not.... I have a day left to make a decision to have it in time for the game so any feedback will help please
I have never used a Razer mouse before.. although I do have the nostromo and I love it so I would like some feedback on Razer mice in general as well please...
alot of people love those razer mice ... i don't ... they feel clunky in my hand, but that's just due to me having huge hands
i use a logitech G700 and am quite happy with it ...
also thought of going for a Cyborg RAT7 MMO ... has also lots of additional buttons and functions and is adaptable to my hands
just my two cents and sorry for not being able to help you on the Naga Hex, though it seems to me far supirior to the common Naga with its 12 side buttons ...
Had an old first gen Boomslang 2000dpi ball mouse years and years ago. More recently a few years back I had a copperhead. Now using a logitech g9x.
The six buttons on the hex look handy however I think you might get better reaction speeds if you still use the KB for at least some of the skills. Something about your brain being able to better differentiate actions between both hands.
The one thing that Razer's usually have is a superior interface for dpi settings and macros. How much this will help in d3 is debatable. You could string escape combos or damage combos as a macro and that *could* be helpful I suppose.

gotta agree here ... logitech is terrible at macros / button assigning ... anybody has an idea how Mad Catz with it's Cyborg series is doing on macroing and button assigning ?
So far from what i'm reading sounds I don't really need it unless I just want to look cool with one.... Maybe i will by one with RMAH income like Luido suggested in the future
I don't play any MMO so besides FPS and Starcraft2.... I don't think i would see much more use for it really.... but part of me really wants it cuz its green and looks cool!!!!!
thanks for the quick responses btw... much appreciated
Been using a Cyborg R.A.T 5 for about a year now, amazing mouse with adjustable length and interchangeable weights. Perfect for D3 and many other games. It's amazingly comfortably and has a great weight to it.
I've been staring at this mouse for awhile myself. I just feel that if I buy it, I become the hugest nerd ever, spending that much on a mouse lol. Most people stick with the free one that came with their computer
My expierence with Razor hasn't been that good. I have the Razor Lycosa keyboard and once or twice every few days my keyboard will just stick on a random button and keep pressing that button until I unplug it from the usb port and plug it back in. It's not physically sticking, this is just a bug in their drivers. This is a known issue for thousands of Razor keyboard users and has still yet to be fixed. That was my first problem. My second problem is I also own a Razor Ironclad mousepad. The mousepad was AMAZING when I first got it, and stayed amazing for about 3 weeks until the plastic coating started to wear off and the pad had multiple surface tentions which completely screws with mouse movement. This is also a known issue that thousands of others have complained about that I didnt find out about until buying the product, Razor refused to do anything about this as well.
So their products look nice, but they refused to support them. They are buggy, and Razor doesn't care. This is just my expierence, I'm sure there are others who havn't had any issues with Razor. Just be warned, if you do happen to have an issue with your product, Razor won't do anything to help you out.
Also, on a note unrelated to my post, when looking for a mouse for Diablo 3, just make sure it has enough buttons to play entirely with the mouse. This completely transforms gameplay for the better. You want about 7 buttons (including L/R) so you can assign your 4 extra spells to your mouse as well as potions to your mouse, it makes for much better gameplay.
still totally up in the air about this... i like keeping my abilities on my nostromo... so I was thinking maybe on the mouse i would bind like force stand still or force move as well as potions or maybe vent click to speek
Any one else have ideas what I could actually bind to the mouse?
Keep in mind I have my nostromo which i could bind anything to the like 20ish buttons
well ... I'd suggest you go to a store and place the mouse in your hand ... if you like the feel, go for it ... just make sure that you are able to return the mouse should something go wrong ...
I would reccomend against binding too many things unless that doesn't confuse you in complicated situations.
If the nostromo you've got is the razer gamepad, that should be more than enough. I'm not sure how it works but you should be able to assign it's keys by click, like with a keyboard, in the D3 keybindings menu. The mouse is primarily pointer and your two mouse button skills, I think what you've got is good. I cant say for sure about binding on click with your logitech but I know with mine I can click to bind my browser-back thumb button for vent in it's vent's settings.

yeah ... at least you can double bind the keys ... so let's say skill 3 still stays on KB 1 and on Mouse button 3 or something ... that way you can slowly adapt to the new feel and maybe work out some far superior method of control for you where you can either use the keybind or the mousebind depending on other buttons you're currently pressing,.
Logitech is the only mice I will ever use, hands down the best build quality and just the feel of direct input between your hand and the cursor on the screen is impeccable. Plus, the tech support is good.

It looks uncomfortable / like a transformer but it's quit nice.. my favorite mouse , ever.
