Re: gaming mouse recommendation for BF1

To be honest, that's highly subjective and for example depends on what kind of mouse grip you are using, and what your overall preferences are to find the best mouse for you.

I think nowadays basically all mouses are on such a good standard that there aren't necessarily any technical reasons to choose one over the other. Sure, some of the Logitech or Zowie sensors could be considered better, but even for pros, that's barely noticeable.

I think I would rather ask what your aiming style is like? Do you play with a high sensitive? Are you aiming with your wrist or your full arm?
Do you prefer a light mouse, over a heavier, with more control?
Do you prefer using a claw, fingertip or palm grip?

I would suggest looking for something that's most suitable for you and not just something someone else recommended for you.

For my part, I went through my fair share of mouses, but for the last couple of years I'm loving the Logitech G Pro X Superlight with a claw grip. I would like if it were a little bit longer and higher though. That's just because I've got relatively big hands.

    I only had one blue mouse made by Zowie (I prefer Logitech and Razer).
    I also bought a one-handed keyboard and tried it out (I didn't like it).

    I just remembered that I have another Zowie product, I used a bungee like this for the wired mouse:

    Logitech had a collaboration with BF1 in 2016:
    the Logitech G Pro Wired Gaming Mouse Battlefield 1 Edition

    In 2017, I bought a wired G PRO mouse, then a year later I bought its wireless version (G305 with 1 AA battery).

    a little more precisely, how it was Logitech's collaboration with BF1 in 2016:
    -wired mouse
    -mouse pad
    -keyboard
    -headset


    I have the G640 mouse pad (Battlefield 1 Edition):

    @HUN_gattaca_lgI see you went down a similar rabbit hole like me.

    I'll start with the mice I've used over the years.

    So my first gaming mouse was Razer Copperhead, then went for a Razer Lachesis (original model).

    Later Razer did a refresh of the Lachesis but mine died shortly after it was out of warranty, this was back in 2015 -2016. Wanted to get Razer again but since their software changed a lot and it required an account I started looking at Logitech. That is when the Logitech G403 Prodigy was about to get released basically same tech as the Logitech G Pro but a bit  heavier and with an ergonomic shape.

    The G403 served me for a good 3-4 years until the rubber sides started coming apart.

    In late 2019 I started looking at other options and that's when the light mice started releasing so I tried the Logitech X superlight which was ok imo but didn't fit my hand that well and I started paying more attention to Rocket Jump Ninja and his youtube channel.

    Eventually I tried the Xtrfy M42, Xtrfy M4 and the Xtrfy MZ 1 (same you got but I have the wired version, won't bother with charging etc.)

    They weren't bad either but I was still craving for an ergonomic one so I did quite a lot of research and eventually came across Vaxee.

    This is a company formed by some of the original engineers who started Zowie and a lot of people recommended the the Vaxee Outset.

    This is a great shape imo and fits my hand very well (19cm X 10cm)  and I currently use it for my laptop.

    I decided to also try the Razer DeathAdder V3 wired but it's quite big for my hand and my biggest issue with it was that the front part of the shell kept getting stuck in my mousepad (Razer Goliathus Control Edition, quite funny since it's a razer one lol) so I returned it after  2 weeks of use.

    At the moment I'm using the Logitech G403 Hero on my desktop, basically the same one as the G403 Prodigy but with the newer sensor.

    I'm quite tempted on testing the Endgame Gear OP1 8k. Heard quite a lot of good things about it.

    I tend to hate all the mice software which requires accounts and an internet connection so for Logitech I use the onboard memory manager.

    For the Razer DeathAdder I didn't use any software since the mouse can be adjusted just with the buttons on its belly.

    Endgame Gear has a simple software so as I said I'm quite tempted 👿

    @neoforo87 
    At the end of 2018, after the release of Battlefield V, I bought a Logitech G PRO Wireless mouse. I used this mouse very intensively for about a year and it became a double click problem:

    Yeah unfortunately that was an issue with the first batch from what I have heard. Its successor the  Superlight didn't had the issue.

    Did you RMA it since usually in the EU the warranty is 2 years ?

    No. I tried replacing the switch based on Youtube videos. And Logitech has released a firmware patch (although I don't know if the hardware problem can be fixed in software).

    then I got Razer Vipers:

    It looks exactly like my Logitech G203 Prodigy mouse, I love it so much that I even bought a spare one! Excellent mouse, light and not too big!
