I am using a logitech wireless m310, and i suck at aiming but i think this is partly due to my mouse.
I've ordered a g400 and wondering if i will notice any difference as it's wired, or is a mouse a mouse?
Anyone can give me insight whether the logitech g400 is good ?
I'm not familiar with the g400 in particular. But not all mice are created equal. I have a crappy generic mouse that I use on my desktop, mostly out of laziness. I wind up having to sweep the mouse multiple times to do anything or crank up the sensitivity in game to nearly max. Now I have a Naga that I use with my laptop, I actually game more on my laptop than my desktop. The naga has a higher DPI, and is more sensitive. Overall I enjoy the feel of the naga better and am planning on getting another, or a similar mouse for my desktop.
No, not all mice are equal. Try to find a gaming mouse, I think the G400 fits that category. Higher DPI means the mouse pointer reacts faster to smaller movements.
Wired vs Wireless is all personal preference. I hate having batteries die on me so I choose wired mice. Plus they don't run the risk of wireless interference by other devices in the area. Like routers, microwaves and such.
Short answer, yes. Your mouse is important.
Most important is that it is comfortable for you to use for long periods of time. I am currently using a Roccat Kone+, and it took a couple weeks for my hand to adjust to the larger size. The mouse I used before that was a Logitech G9. I like them both, and swap between them from time to time. Both have a very high resolution and onboard macro memory. I like the wheel on the G9 better than the Kone. I have, however, gotten used to the larger size of the Kone and at this point it feels more "right" in my hand than the G9. The smaller mouse is probably better for people who use a "claw" style grip on the mouse: where the mouse is held in the fingers without the palm of the hand resting on it.
Make sure the mouse you are looking at has a device controller resolution adjustment. Being able to change the dpi (basically, the sensitivity of the mouse) is very handy while you are getting used to a new game. My guess is your aim will improve a lot from having the dpi on your mouse set to where its comfortable for you (I like mine around 1,200-1,600).
If you are going to a real store, ask a clerk if you can take one out of the box and feel it. Most places are more than willing to do this for you.
Mouse isn't overly important anymore. As long as you aren't using a trackball or something. Most laser/infrared mice work just fine.
Sorry but thats the biggest load of tosh ive ever heard...Quote:

don`t just order one online because a review said it was good, its all down to you
I think the suggestions to physically go to a store and try one out in your hand is a very good suggestion. Sometimes stores will have displays up allowing you to touch the mice and get a feel for them. It is all down to personal preference.
Sometimes a mouse may feel wrong in the beginning but once you get used to the new feel you'll wonder how you ever got by without it. That's how I feel about the thumb buttons on my mouse. Originally I hated the feel of it and the shape of the mouse. But after a week or so I had adjusted.
Another point is wireless vs wired. A wired mouse will have a better response time to your computer (and thus your game) than wireless. Also, wireless keyboards/mice sleep quickly and frequently to conserve battery life. This WILL affect your game. 500ms of latency when your mouse is powering up isn't a big deal when you are web browsing or editing video, but it's huge in a twitch game.
tl;dr - For gaming, get a wired mouse.
Well, as far as fitting in your hand and being comfortable sure, but tracking and what not, I've never had an issue. Obviously you don't want one of those undersized laptop mice.
Logitech Mice are great, Razer's are great, as long as you don't mind the long travel of the mouse buttons.
I have a Logitech M705 that I love. Fits like a glove.
One thing to note those, more expensive don't always mean better for you.
A few hit it on the head by saying it's all up to the user. I personally use a logitech mx 5500 mouse/keyboard combo, not the most expensive, but it suits me fine. I got it because my tv I use is 20 feet away from me.
Some will have different ergonomics, some programable keys, some even have programable scripts (similiar to auto hot key).
Go to a shop, get a few for some of them, go online check out reviews, before you buy ask about the return policy, it would suck getting a mouse home and after a few hours getting a cramped wrist and not being able to return it.
The best mouse in the world won't fix your aiming issues. That's just practice.Quote:

Logitech G-series and Razer Naga seem to be the leading hardware choices. I've used both and prefer the Logitech but it's really personal opinion as to what feels "right" to you (both offer multiple key binds).
I'd stay away from the Cyborg stuff.
Hope that helped.
