Better mouse for gaming...

I use the Logitech Corded Mouse M500 for FPS gaming.

I'm sure they got some bluetooth ones that will work for you.

Tip: go to a store and see what fits better in you or your son's hand. My hand is quite big so I like a larger mouse.

 

I would recommend the Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX or Logitech Performance Mouse MX. If you wait till Black Friday you can snatch a good deal for $35 and $50, respectively at Amazon. They are both usb-wireless mouses that work on glass and just as good as any gaming mice.

 

This is an awesome mouse. I use it both for video editing and gaming.

 

one word: razer mouse

 

Performance MX from Logitech as others have mentioned. Use several of these at the office/home. If you're kid isn't playing any competitive level FPS this should do the trick.

 

I second that! I have a Razor ProSolutions, which is very sturdy en so precize. It does have a USB cable. I have it for years now and play a lot of games, it's much faster than any mouse of Apple and sits perfect in your hand. For gaming, forget a wireless mouse, as they are heavier and have a lag.

 

My one word respones to that is: No!

My longer response: I'm on my 4th Razer Naga mouse under warranty. The first one the laser died and the buttons were getting unresponsive. The replacement was glitchy and wouldn't let my Mac sleep. The third one had a bad laser out of the box. The forth one is sitting on the shelf. The razer sybapse software is glitchy and generate priofiles at random and sometimes forgets to login and grab my mouse profile. Why do I have to be connected to the net to get my mouse settings?

I'm now using a Logitech G600 wired. There's also a wireless version. There is Mac software on the Logitech website for the Mac.

I'd recommend a Logitech at this point to the OP.

 

Mx518

 

I have a Kensington Bluetooth mouse that is about 8 years old. It had some heavy use and still works well. They of course no longer make that model, but you could look at the Kensington SureTrack Mouse. The one negative review sounds like the person had a system problem and was of course on Windows. There is no software you need to install on OS X for that mouse.

 

One word? Something doesn't add up here.

 

Yes, or preferably the latest version Logitech G400s. This mouse is great, highly recommended.

 

I like the Razor DeathAdder. Not sure if there's a wireless version.

I can understand why you're worried about it. I can imagine the rapid clicking going on in Minecraft on the MM, it would almost be loud... aha.

 

shame you say not want a dongled one as if go to digitaldaffodil.co.uk can pick a wireless one from there for about £6.00. so not break bank if break it and i had one myself worked perfect for what i used it for.

 

found one on amazon. it's a HDE. bluetooth optical laser mouse for macbook pro. and is only £2.99 it says uses inbuilt bluetooth. comes without dongle

 

Logitech G700. Its wired or wireless and their flagship gaming model. Great ergonomics for gaming or non-gaming use. I have the previous generation G7 as well and they are both the best mice I've ever used. The other logitech wireless mice are nice but the sensitivity adjustment and the flexibility is unmatched.

 

Do that many people really just read the subject without actually reading what original posters post? It's a 10 year old kid playing mine craft.... and the OP doesn't want a dongle.

I'd just get any cheap bluetooth mouse. Even the cheapest mouse will be better for gaming than any Apple mouse.

 

My grandsons brought a bunch of gaming mice here and they are all over the place here in my messy office, I dont really know what brand they are, but do know they are rather expensive and they work well. I dislike using them, so when the kids go home, I pull them out and fire up my regular Mac mouse.
I see one now on the desk, its a Azza, or something like that.
Guess if they pay good $ for them, they are what they need for gaming.
Google for good gaming mice and whew, thats where I stop. Yeah, Minecraft,,,,,
