My MX Revolution mouse experience.

[Iceorbz]

A few things:

1) I strongly suggest against installing software to get a mouse to work. Mice have a buttons, MOUSE1, MOUSE2, MOUSE(N), and can be bound to functions within WoW without using crappy manufacturer software. No need to re-bind what the buttons do. Logitech. Setpoint. Sucks!

2) While you almost always get what you pay for, there's a happy medium when buying mice, keyboards, etc. Look at the SteelSeries WoW MMO Mouse -- it sucks! Same price, same results. With the SteelSeries mouse, you're paying a premium because a) it's branded as a WoW mouse and b) *someone* (steelseries, blizzard, whoever) spent time and labor creating an in-game interface to be able to bind macros to the buttons. I'm glad as hell they didn't have the mouse available at Gamestop on WoTLK release night, because I would have wasted the money to support the game we all play and love -- World of Warcraft.

3) Just as a shameless plug and first-hand user review, I've used the Logitech G5 (chucked the CD that came with it in the trash) for the past few years and it's been the most awesome mouse ever. Half the price of the mouse you're having trouble with and flawless performance. Again, the CD never left the paper sleeve when I bought my G5. Straight to the trizzash!

4) I also bought the n52te (after seeing Ellay's video) and I just can't get myself to use it! I'm afraid of pressing the wrong buttons while practicing in a battleground and my team saying "YOU SUCK AT BOXXING QQQQQQQ!@@#!" when I know I can do well with the keyboard I've used since I started! I just need to spend a day or two playing a solo character, and I'm sure I'll get the hang of it.

Yeah i was having these issuse when i first started tinkering with the n52 I have now found my happy medium of keyplacements and such, and I still do get confused when the moment gets heated but im getting better it's only been a few days so far.

Sidenote:
MX revolution mouse is working great, and is a awesome piece of equipment ! (once the headaches of installtion were over)

I absolutely love my MX revolution mouse and consider it the best Boxer mouse I've used. More Hotkeys = win. I would refrain from using the horizontal wheel to turn tho, it doesnt feel and behave as accurately as using A and D keys(which i now use), especially in pvp I found over time its not as reliable.

I personally think a standalone gamepad is far inferior to the G15 (18button) keyboard. Having to physically move my hand off the keyboard over to the keypad to run clone commands is a lapse in efficiency I don't think is necessary. I have ~46 hotkeys within reach of my left hand at all times while never leaving the WASD homebase, not to mention another 8 from my mx revolution mouse.

The purpose of the let/right turn isn't for consistant use, it is only for turning ALL the toons WHEN you need to... prime example is that 1 asshat who things "I'll just get behind the slaves" - answer? just turn the damn slaves around.

I have MiddleScrollWheel left and right set to Left arrow and Right Arrow, yet still have A and D on DNP.

im no longer playing with the keyboard, using the mouse and n52te exclusivley. I have next to the n52 a x keys pro for things like specific totems, blood lust warstomp sequence ect works great so far. =

Assign the buttons to KEYPRESSES, then bind those keys to functions in WoW.

this

And btw this is the best mouse ever imo =)
pluss when u bind the buttons to keys, u can put in an aditional shift+mousebutton combo leaving you with shitloads of utility

Uberoptions ftw.

And I'm surprised no one mentioned this... I have two of these and they both have charging issues. The battery gets loose and you get the flashing red light.

The fix? (Google this if you don't believe me)

Slam the mouse flat side down (but not too hard). It jostles the battery back in place. I'd just mod it if i wasn't such a lazy bum.

This is the exact way I was referring to. I originally set it up for clone turning, but found it to be not as consistant. Sorry for the confusion.
