Hardware & Technical What mouse do you use?

Keep your rotation and translation axes on separate devices. Trust me.

If you mean the Lexip, personally just having three on the mouse (pitch, roll, yaw) plus full pip management could (with practice) be an upgrade from my current G502 setup ... I'm pretty happy with it but I can see where the improvements could be made and they're beyond the flexibility of my current hardware.
 
I had a wee white one, but after a few days there was bits of hair, reds streaks.. and the smell! Might try a rat next..
 
I have the most basic mouse, and to be honest I can't see what a super gaming mouse could offer as advantage.
Though I am considering to by an $6 Aliexpress gaming mouse for the fun of it. :)

For me, the primary advantage is in the side buttons - in BF3, BF4 and BF1, I use the side buttons to switch between primary weapon, secondary weapon, my gadgets, the map, and map zoom. It means I don't have to stop moving to do those things. Being able to switch sensitivity on the fly also allows a player to switch between standard hipfire/pistol sensitivity and ADS sensitivity, which can really help accuracy. I hate snipers and sniping though, so I don't really use that function.

In browsers and the like, I can go forwards, back, switch tabs, reopen closed tabs, close tabs, close the window, go to my homepage, open the bookmarks folder, scroll to top/bottom of the page easily and so on.

That's the advantage - flexibility. A decent gaming mouse with sufficient buttons lets you do all those things. I generally find that the difference between LED and laser mice is, for all intents and purposes, unnoticeable. I never use the really high DPI settings.

The disadvantage is that most gaming mice seem to have been designed by Homer Simpson.

Actually yeah - I see the use in that, although personally I'd remove mouse control completely.

I use the Corsair M65 Pro, just because of the sniper function that I use when playing Rising Storm Vietnam. It's not as important for ED though, but I love the buttons on this mouse...
 
I kickstarter backed the Z mouse (Swiftpoint).

Really comfortable and great looking, but since I have set it up as a bog standard mouse (because the fancy features messed with mouse-use in ED) it's pure eye candy :D

One day I'll learn to set up profiles on it and use it more fully :D

Previously it was Logitech all the way: G5 to G500S: Great, comfy and accurate.

I really miss the MX518. They have them on Amazon for 145 quid and the supplier is labelled as Logitech. Insane! They were great mice back in the day and the G5 was a worthy successor. I really wish they would re-release the MX518 with modern components, looked awesome with those dents all over it.
