Which mouse for PC


Recommended Posts

I'm one of those rare PC users using VW 2016. Has anyone here tried using the Logitech Performance MX mouse and/or the Logitech Master MX mouse with a PC? I've read a number of pros and cons for each on amazon, but they were very general and I'm interested in hearing from someone who has tried them specifically with VW 2016.

Right now I'm on a laptop running Win 7 Pro, but I'm getting a new PC with Win 10.

Thanks!

A number of employees here using the MX series mice on both Mac and Windows, if anything it's easier to work with on the Windows side since Logitech generally has better driver and utility support there.

I currently use a Logitech M510 which is similar, but not as nicely made as the MX line and I still love it in both OSes.

I've been using Razer products extensively for years. I had their very first mouse.

Mouse

I have an older one that doesn't change color, but it's the same device.

I map CTRL and ALT to the side keys.

I also highly recommend this

I map my most common keys to this, and combined with the CTL/ALT on the mouse I rarely have to touch the keyboard.

One step further is the keyboard

I map even more functions to the macro keys on the left.

Why all Razer? It's not that I'm a fanboy, but I like having the unified driver. All the products can be customized from one software suite. That software also syncs the profiles to the cloud. I have older version of the mouse, and keypad I keep with my laptop so the profile syncs to that computer as well. If I make a change (which I rarely do) it keeps them all the same.

You can get all of the products as the non Chroma version as either New Old stock, or factory refurbished for way less on Ebay.

I bought both my keyboard and keypad that way and they are as good as new (well they were when I bought them.)

Thanks for the advice! I'm trying out a Logitech MX Master. The forward/back buttons on the side are a little hard to feel, and I'm trying to find a good use for the side scroll wheel (I don't really need it to side-scroll in VW), but it feels good so far!

I use this:

What I like about it is the (once configured) dedicated middle mouse button, ability to cycle mouse DPI settings, and I can assign keyboard shortcuts to the side buttons. This combined with my 3Dconnexion Space Navigator 3D mouse has been the perfect setup for me. Of course, Cherry MX blues on the keyboard as well.. I'm fairly picky.
