I currently have an old Logitech MX518 which has started to die. Can anyone suggest a good gaming mouse with adjustable DPI settings for under £50 ($80). I'm not too bothered about it having a billion buttons.

people are going to shit all over me for suggesting this probably, but i would say the razer deathadder

don't get razer, shittiest products i've ever used. ive tried keyboards, headsets, and mice, all of them broken.
Logitech is always the way to go, best customer support I've seen in awhile. My G500 was broken(It lasted me more than 2 years after heavy use) and so I hit up customer service and they sent me a brand new G502 since they don't make the G500. It works fantastic and I love all of their products.

Now if you want something a little cheaper--
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826104998
I use to own the G400, but now it's the G402.
Whatever you buy, get a Logitech.
Also, try checking out your local electronics store because when I bought the G400 at bestbuy it was like 20$ lol, Newegg I think sells it a lil to expensive...

I use a razer headset and keyboard and they serve me well. I also suggest the deathadder or if you're into mmos use the naga

I've only use 2 gaming mice so far. I've tried the R.A.T but its a piece of shit. Dont get it.
The first one I used was the G700 (which is now the G700S, both shown below)
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-5b4d9X52czk/UiFYqOpTrqI/AAAAAAAANqE/0RTtT2y_B80/s1600/JBA+-+Logitec+G700s+and+G700-+(8).JPG)
But after 4 years, left click started failing. Otherwise, it's most comfortable mouse I've ever used. Its hybrid wired with a very good wireless connection (hybrid as in you can plug it in and get wired responsiveness) and is quite versatile in regards to buttons and macros.
I now rock the G502 (bottom mouse in pic)
(http://files.tested.com/photos/2014/04/14/60003-img_0474.jpg)
Not as comfortable as the G700 (but my hand is big so that could be why) however it's so responsive and works similarily to the G700 in regards to buttons and stuff. The G502 has a DPI shift button you can hold to change your DPI while it's held (trying to aim a gun and reducing mouse sensitivity). It's also permanently wired with logitechs fabric no drag cable which feels ALMOST wireless. It also has customizable weights in the bottom so you can set your mouse weight and center of gravity. VERY nice feature imo as I prefer a more rear center of gravity.
What mouse do I recommend? Idk. They're both amazing. It all depends on what you want and what you can afford.

I have a G700s and I love it. I bought it for £50 on Amazon a couple of months ago but it seems to have gone up since then. If you can get one for £50 its definitely worth it.

I've been using that for many years. I'd say its pretty good.

razer is total shit for anything besides the deathadder. had mine for 5+ years at this point. stay away from literally everything else they make though

I can't complain about my Razor Kraken 7.1 headset though.
Amazing sound, and amazing mic.

Yes I've used some at a couple of gaming conventions and they are comfortable and have great sound quality. I don't own a pair myself, though, but from the short time I have used them they felt really nice.

I'm very much looking at this one:

Also looking at these two:

SteelSeries Rival. don't have a link or anything but it's pretty fucking sweet, been using it for about a month and a half now with no issues aside from my computer occasionally not recognizing it, but that's an issue with my usb ports and not the mouse
-
I use the razor ouroboros

I use the razor ouroboros
that mouse is like, 2,000,000* how the fuck did you afford it

I use a combo between the Razer Naga Epic and the deathadder

i have that, cheap and feels nice for me plus contains mouse 4 and 5 which is all i really need anyway and a dpi changer up to 2000 (because using like 8000 dpi as a selling point is really retarded)

I set my DPI to 2500 and sometimes use 3000, so for people like me it rlly is a selling point

Whoever said having 8000DPI is just a worthless selling gimic? If you play games like Elite:Dangerous, StarCitizen or any modern FPS game; DPI really does matter.
In Elite:Dangerous, the 8000DPI mouse gives me far quicker response from the space ships and allows be to pitch & roll much faster and sharper than most other players.
I personally have the M65 and it's great, don't get the white one though as the top is glossy and also gets grubby with dead skin.
The sniper button on the other hand is a meh-ish addition, it's hard to get set to the perfect DPI for sniper abilities and often throws you off due to the sudden change from 8000DPI to roughly 500.
Overall, build quality is superb and it works great in combination with one of corsair's mouse mats.
-
but 8000 dpi is a gimmick though lol
it also comes down to personal preference on what dpi you prefer to play on and sensitivity etc but 8000 is mainly a gimmick
-
It's only a worthless gimmick if you have never used or wanted to use that amount of DPI, I agree with you there but if you are like me who still feels that 3000-6000dpi is still way too slow, it's a good feature.
P.S. It's hilarious the things you can do with the helis in HRP with 8000DPI.
-
for me i have a 2000 dpi mouse because its all i really need, i just stick in 1000 dpi constantly or ill go up to 1500 or 2000 if i ever really want to get competitive or if the sensitivity in the game is fucking terrible due to bad porting etc
-
Ironally I use the mouse that OP used which broke. Aka the logitech MX518
And I think it's a really good mouse. It's dirty, and the scroll wheel is not as smooth as it used to be (Makes a lot of noise and sometimes seems a bit sticky) I really like the mouse.
I have it for years, so that excuses the decay on it. But I like the shape of the mouse and it has all you need: Mouse 4 and 5, + and - for dpi and a third button under the scroll wheel that you can program to do whatever. (By default it does the same als alt-tab I believe)
But yeah, as much as I like it, it's getting old and sticky and I might have to replace it soon too. :P
-
My M506 has 12,000 dpi. I use it when i fly shit in PS2 or want my mouse to be op fast. But the response and smoothness of the mouse is way better the my G700 what had 5700 as the max dpi so i believe it does make a difference.

ok um
what the fuck how do you guys control the mouse when its at 8000 DPI like what the fuck how do you even
Jesus christ your eye/hand coordination must be at some goddamn genius level and your hand must be like
wow
how the fuck
can you please upload some videos of you using it at 8000 dpi, that seems fucking insane.

Its minus dpi button thats fucked up. And since i smashed my mouse on my desk in passionate rage the left and right clicks are going as well lol. It's been a good mouse but i must move on :, (
Anyway i think the corsair one is for ne. Not as stylish as some of the logitech ones but it seems the most pratical and the one that will last me a while. Plus it has the weights which seems good
-
I don't play at 12,000 although I have once for shits n gigs and still managed to get a kill doing it. I use 8000 in-game and set my in-game mouse sensitivity to like 10% so I get more positions.
-
I just bought the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. The Corsair looked nice but it didn't have as much going for it as the G502. It's more expensive but hopefully it will last me long enough to offset the expense.
Feel free to keep chatting about DPI, you fucking nerds ;)
-
Will post vid of me playing Elite:Dangerous tomorrow at maxed out 8200dpi on mouse and pulling some kunt out of frame shift drive then beating the shit outta their ship.
1v1 me bru irl
-
Idk why I keep calling it a M506. its my G502. RIP.

Only things is, I have large hands so I dunno if it's small or not. If it's the same size or bigger than my MX518 then it'll be right.

I dunno how you hold the mouse but the way(s) I do is is kinda weird.
I leave my DPI at least 2500(although I'm training my hand to go up to higher DPI in the 3000's) so I'm able to bring my pointer from one side of the screen to the other without having to move my hand. I let the boney thing sticking out on my wrist lay on the mousepad and then I just flick the mouse around without having to actually move my whole hand/arm. The only parts that actually touch the mouse is my thumb, index finger, middle finger, ring finger and pinky to grip the side of the mouse for more control(it's amazing how much it helps) and the lower part of my hand just barely touches it. The rest just hovers above it.
I dunno if it means my mouse is to small/big but lemme tell ya, it really does do wonders the way I hold it. I have tons of control over it and so I'm able to quickly flick around.

I might try that technique.

I play CS:Go At 5,600DPI. I feel around 5,200 is the max where its useful. After that and it's just not very reliable. (Even at 5,200 it takes abit of effort). But it helps me work faster so oh well.
I'm using a standard Razer Naga. Was on sale for 40$ last year and i grabbed it cause my Imperator shorted out finally after it was being held together with superglue and cardboard. (It was a first production batch imperator).

I pretty much use a relaxed version of a claw grip on my mouse and rest my wrist on the mousemat. Very rarely does my wrist leave that position on the mousemat as I can pretty much control any game without having to move my arm thanks to the DPI. Right enough it took me years to work myself up to this level of DPI and 8200 still fucks me over when on my desktop
