    Wait, 5 laser mice the top 5 gaming mice. Author, are you so ignorant to ignore that all laser mice have 5% positive acceleration (atleast) built into the sensor. This means that ALL laser mice are HORRENDOUS for gaming?. The only gaming mice worth purchasing are the Razer Deathadder (and equivalent 3g optical razer mice), The CM Storm Spawn, The MX518 (heavy prediction) and Zowie Mico (also heavy prediction).

    That’s a Razer Naga, not a Lachesis. Your link is correct, though.

    Razer Naga is crap. The reviewer has obviously never owned one. I’ve had two, and they both went unresponsive in 3 months. After reading reviews, this is a common occurance.

    “Mice” is already plural. No need to call them “mices”.

      It should actual be Mouse since mouse refers to the acronym manually operated user select equipment. Since equipment is by definition already a plural, no need to add an S. Using mice is always incorrect regardless.

    The picture of the Logitech MX is actually of an MX Revolution. The mouse you link to and describe is a Performance Mouse MX.

    Why wasn’t the R.A.T 7/9 mouse mentioned. It’s the transformer of gaming mice and is sexy.

    I own the g9 and MX (rev) love both but the mx had some lag (even when right next to the wireless adapter) that made gaming difficult. Even so, it was probably the most comfortable mouse I’ve ever used.

    You got my hopes up that they brought back the thumb wheel on the MX…That is the only reason I haven’t upgraded from my MX Revolution.

    For the Logitech mice, the laser is just named “Darkfield” Laser, it’s not any kind of “dark field technology”. Don’t confuse your readers by implying any kind of non-optical sensor tech.

    The Logitech MX picture is wrong.

    Also, Darkfield isn’t the only laser that can track on glass. I’m pretty sure Microsoft’s blue lasers can as well.

    @Ben: The author is right, Darkfield is a Tracking technology developed by Logitech. They have incorporated this technology in a few of their products, hence the names. Here is a link for more info http://www.logitech.com/en-us/349/6135
    Perhaps you should read before going on flying hateful comments. 😛

    I have broke so many Logitech mice it’s ridiculous!
    I had a Razer Copperhead that I had for 2 years that was good, and now I’m on year 3 of my Steelseries Ikari Laser that I just love!
    Buying a mouse is such a personal decision that you can’t just buy from a top 5 or 10 list. You should see how they feel in your hands before purchase.
    Steelseries for the win!
