The Logitech mice are mostly made for right-handers. The extra buttons are very well located for the most part. Their mice usually come with weights so you can adjust their feel.
Razer's mice are ambidextrous. They are very light and lend themselves to a finger grip. The profile of Razer's mice shows that they are tall in the back, as this "mound" fits into the palm of the hand and the fingers laying down the length of the buttons. The additional buttons are not as ergonomic as Logitech's buttons, but are completely programmable. |
Well, the Mamba is going to be their first right-handed mouse. Though the shape will be similar to the DeathAdder.

the G3 and G5 use a 2000DPI laser, the G9 uses a 3200DPI laser, and the G9X uses a 5200DPI laser.
The Mamba will use a 5600DPI laser. And it's the only wireless mouse to have a 1000Hz polling rate (1ms response) so far, which matches the best
wired mice in that area.
In comparision, the G7 uses a 500Hz polling rate, along with its 2000DPI laser.
In terms of specifications, the Mamba is the best mouse on and off the cord. Though the feel of mice in general is a subjective issue.
I currently have an MX510, MX518, G3, G5 2007, G7, and Lachesis.
The Lachesis is the fastest and most accurate of them, but takes longer to get used to. And you really do need a good mouse pad for it (it doesn't have to be very big though), as well as your hand and arm being in a comfortable position. If they're not in a comfortable position, it can become very difficult to use.
It has plenty of buttons to use, which can be quite useful.
The G5 2007 is an easy mouse to get used to, and performs well and reliably.
The G7 also performs well - being wireless seems to affect the feel slightly in a way that's difficult to quantify. Not in a bad way, just somehow different.
My only issue with the G7 is that it only has one side button.
The G3 is an easy mouse to use. It's ambidexterous, and performs kind of like a G5 (also having a 2000DPI laser). It does have a different feel (probably mostly due to its shape), and there's only one button to change DPI. The two side buttons are on each side of the mouse, rather than just one side. And both of them are easy to press.
Overall I prefer the shape of the G5, but the G3 is still a nice mouse.
The MX510 and MX518 are both optical mice.
The MX510 is too slow IMO, and you can't change the DPI. Though the MX518 has an 1800DPI sensor and is almost up to the level of the G5.
From my experience, the G5 seems to be a bit more precise, even at similar speeds. though the MX518 is an excellent mouse for its price.
The shape is basically the same as the G5. though its DPI buttons are on the top and bottom of the scroll wheel, whereas the G5 has both buttons at the bottom of the scroll wheel.
Which mouse would I recommend?
Well, I don't think it's always a simple matter of saying "you should get X mouse over Y". Each mouse has its own feel that might or might not be better suited to how you use it.
