Hey everyone.
I just bought the Razer Pro:Type
http://www.razerzone.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=55
I hope it turns out to be as amazing as it looks :)


So I have my Keyboard need satisfied.

But Now I need a mouse.
The thing is, that keyboard has pretty much exhausted my keyboard/mouse budget.
I have about 30-40 bucks left in my budget.
What would be a good mouse to game with, and would look nice with the keyboard?
 
I'll recommend the Logitech Revolution VX once more. It truly is a great mouse. I bought it to replace my Mighty Mouse about a year ago and love it.
 
i have to agree with ravenvii, i love my logitech vx revolution mouse too. its prefect sizing, not to big or small. the only bad thing about it is the battery life, it only last about 2 months. whereas my desktop logitech mouse lasts +6 months.
 
I've posted before on how much I love my Razer Pro|Click v1.6, and it would seem a no-brainer for you to pick one up because it is a fantastic gaming mouse that was actually designed to match your keyboard.
 
Ironically Microsoft make great mice. I've used a Microsoft optical scroll mouse for years and it's always stood me well while gaming. But get this version and not the newer one.

It cost me like £10 off eBay. Woot!
 
I love my BT mighty mouse, I really miss the 360º scrolling when I'm in college using the old-fashioned vertical scrolling.
Only thing is though, the sensors in the scroll-ball seem to be getting clogged a lot recently (maybe my room is too dusty) but a quick rub with a screen-cloth sorts it out.
 
I second the Logitech Revolution. My MacBook serves as a desktop now, so I use the MX Revolution. This is seriously the most ergonomic mouse with the most efficient scrollwheel I have ever used.

That is the only Microsoft mouse that I have had that lasted more than 6 months, and this has lasted me several years.

I had a vx revolution, and it would be a great choice...

Logitech MX-518! I have that.

... but I sold it because I like the MX518 even more! It's an awesome mouse all around, and it's fantastic for games. Can be had for about $40 I believe.
 
So tonight I went out bought some RAM, and a Logitech VX Revolution.
Since I bought 4gb of RAM, I was forced to cancel my order for the Pro Type :(

So I bought a Microsoft Curve 2000.

I honestly Love the Keyboard, its so amazingly comfortable.
As for the VX...Well its a great mouse indeed, but it is starting to hurt my pinky, because of the way it hangs of the side of the mouse.
Tough I think I will get used to this in the next few days of use.

Thanks for the advice everyone.
 
One more for the razer pro.I have it and it looks perfect with my mini and apple keyboard.The blue light may not be your thing but its not over powering.
