If you claw grip, get the Logitech G9x. It's simply the best claw mouse in existence.

If you palm grip, the Logitech G400, or any of Razer's mice would be fine.


Fo sho.

Palm grip pretty much here and the Naga is probably one of the best mice I've ever owned. Bought it for SWTOR and will now use it for D3. Havin all the skill buttons right there on my thumb = sexy time.

Stuff like this blows my mind.

Before the beta I haven't played Diablo also, I did play BG2 but not much past that prison opener. Watching Diablo 2 vids on youtube is very confusing. Lot of teleporting and I didn't understand how they could follow what they were doing, because they'd just be going to new zones over and over again. Diablo 3 beta seem a lot more tame since it's the beginning.

I played Titan Quest and it's expansion and things never got like the teleporting stuff in Diablo 2 vids.

I'm asking because I'm using a G500 which is apparently for palm grips, but I don't really completely rest my fingers on it. Don't want to use a mouse not built for my grip if it causes strain injuries.

It's not as bad as it sounds to be using the "wrong" grip. Really, you probably won't notice much difference in using a claw grip on a palm mouse. Palm mice just tend to be more ergonomic so they contour to the hand better.

Honestly, I don't find it that big of a deal using a semi-claw grip on a palm mouse. Especially if I need the extra precision in minor mouse adjustments.
 
This may sound silly, but how loud is the clicking sound on buttons 1 and 2? I sometimes play games while my wife is sleeping in the same room and the clicks on my MX518 (while I play ARPG's especially) tend to disturb her.

Its not the loudest I've ever heard, but its definitely got a "click" to it...pretty average compared to all the mice I've used I would say. Sorry I can't be of more help, I wish I could give you decibel figures or something, haha.

I think he meant that most important info/videos is in the OP :)

You can in the mean time work my shit 7AM to 5PM job of telemarketing for a whopping $9.00/hour.
You and I share the same shitty payment bro, I feel you :(
 
If you are one, give me your job for a few months so I can see.

Its not all "VIDEO GAMES BRO YEAH HIGHFIVE!" Shits tedious.

When I was testing I made $10.00. In California that might have well been minimum wage. I have since climbed the ladder, so I guess testing has that going for it.

Hang in there man.
 
I find most people Claw, with palms only being common when people have huge hands with long fingers.

My problem is actually the opposite, I have enormous hands (I'm 6'6" so it comes with that) but my hand are so huge that any mouse I've tried to palm, the tips of my fingers extend over the mouse buttons. So I have to claw just to click the buttons :p

Edit: Do they make mice that are big enough to be palmed with huge hands?

But... who's economy is shittier? Haha.

Idk how I can even afford to Diablo 3 with rent, car payments, insurance, etc.

Seriously if anyone wants to hire a man slave I'm up for negotiating a deal.

I completely understand the first part. I do prefer repetitive tasks though. I don't fully hate my job, the repetition and being on a computer part is great for me. It's the rude people on the phone that gets grating. Granted, today I did help this kinder elderly woman on the phone wondering why she gets telemarket calls on her cell phone, and I let her know she was in the phone book as a business. At the end she genuinely thanked me and said, "bless your heart." So for the 500 calls I made today, I got 1 sensible decent human being to interact with lol.

I'd take that $10.00/hour with a chance of moving up the ladder at some point, plus being a part of the cog for something I genuinely have passion for.

Oh yeah Diablo 3 is cool, and this comment was totally on topic. Monk beards > all.
 
Mines on the way from Amazon :)

Get ready to have a drink/snack in your left hand at all times! It lets you have multiple profiles for different applications. Takes a bit to figure it out; just remember to use the "keystroke assignment" option when you're configuring each button and you'll be good.

It's probably best to check out some of the videos in the first post of this thread. Some will explain the lore behind diablo and others will give you a taste of the gameplay.

Ok will do, the reason I'm even more interested besides all the hype is because it comes out a few days for my birthday :D

My basic of the basic setup (I can't have anything fancy... for my own good).

Sweet. Thanks earlier to those who helped me with some fixes to get Diablo 1 to run problem free on Win 7 64bit. Ah the memories.

Do you like you SC2 headset, Yoshi?
They are the only headphones (or piece of equipment overall) I've had had that has survived one whole year without breaking down on me. So for me, it's godtier and is probably the best purchase I've done in many years. They're not super isolated from outside sound either, which is exactly the way I want it.

Oh you replaying Diablo? Cool, wish I could do the same but this old desktop doesn't have the game :p

Well, it's all bad timing. Arkham City has its hooks in me, and I NEED to finish that before tuesday or I'll never finish it.

.....

But man... it's Diablo 1. Sunk so many hours into that years and years ago.
 
Why oh Why cant they release this game tomorrow? I could it play it over the weekend.

Not start on Tuesday and have to go to work the next day :(

Since lots of people are posting about their mechanical keyboards I have a question. How are they better than a regular keyboard?

Dude, Yoshi. Y'all need some posters up behind that rig. It looks all office like.
I've just set it up though, the plan is to somehow show of my Blizzard CE's on the wall.

Also I have tons of beautiful looking (framed) posters in this room. The one you can barely see on the right side of the first picture is a huge painting of Okami. In-front of it is a poster of my favorite colossi in SotC (#3, Gaius) and next to it is the picture they used for Another World when they promoted it.

Yes, we need more excitement.

Hype ++

I was going to continue playing Diablo at least an hour ago, but had to get fully caught up in here. (And the newest Bravely Default: Flying Fairy demo vid caught my eye for a bit.)
