Got mine in the mail yesterday after ~7 days. Love it so far

Thanks for the link!

I was really curious about this decafchicken-- Do you have any clue if this is better than the G5? I've been rocking the G5 for a couple years now, but I've been hearing so many good things about the Salmosa.

What makes this such a great RTS mouse as so many people claim? Should I pick one up?... And hand-me-down my G5 to my brother? =P

Thanks dude.

@ OMgIRok, I have no idea what you mean-- especially with the "D:"... Is it negative?

and @ Empyrean, I have no idea, though I've only heard good things about the MX518 as well.

They had this on woot.com for the same price a while ago... the main difference being that the woot one had a picture of NADA on the box. It's a great mouse though, very light and responsive, although mine squeaks when I click.

The two mice i've used so for are mx518 and miniob

The salmosa is very light weight making it great for moving around with your fingers (hence good rts mouse). Much smaller than the mx518 which filled up a lot more of my large hand. I'd compare it as a better shaped miniob with more options for dpi/polling rate. Great tracking and responsiveness so far. And at this price (hardly more than a miniob) i think it's a great deal. Just wish it had two more buttons on the side for web browsing oh well laziness

AND it has the picture of nada on the front

You know what. I just did order a Salmosa after reading this thread, I have always wanted one. It´s a bit more expensive in Europe but what the heck.

trust me boys. i have had all mice mentioned above.
SALMOSA > all
it's not fancy. no side buttons, no lights.
just perfect size and feeling in fingers/roll wheel
the MX518/death adder is twice as big as salmosa.

behold:

It seems so tiny. I guess I'm just used to big mice like my Logitech G5.

tiny=fast.

i was skeptical at first. previous trips to the mouse shop, I always say this mouse. back then it was endorsed by SKY (chinese war3 player). I laughed at how small and silly it looked. i got a krait and thought it was fast. next time i went to the shop I bought a salmosa just for curiosity and a change and because it was only 120rmb (~$15). It just awesome, try it.

omfg, it's not available in canada either
this is mad gay.
since when you sign up for account you can't put PROVINCES in

Could someone in US order and ship to me plz? I will pay $25CAD
which should suffice for exchange rate
Use it or lose it

I like my DeathAdder, but I've played with a Salmosa before and they're very nice. Definitely worth the $20.

Thanks for the tip, just bought one. My MX510 is ancient, and everyone seems to like the salmosa. I can always use it as a laptop mouse since it's so small too.
Of course, you only live one life, and you make all your mistakes, and learn what not to do, and that’s the end of you.
