It's a mouse that they can easily replace - but not neccesarily the best one for every player, and it thus has become the status quo. I remember Artosis complimenting a player in a clanhouse for not copying everyone else by not using LMO/G1 or w/e. And it's not only about DPI but about durability and ergonomics aswell. What I'm trying to say is that the LMO is just a cheap mouse that gets the job done, which teams can buy en grosse for an insanely low cost.However, it probably isn't the optimal mouse for every single player out there. | ||

This might sound a little over-exaggerated, and it is probably slightly exagerrated, but every CS progamer uses either Death Adder or MX518 | ||

Before the Lachesis I used an older, white, four-button Microsoft Intellimouse. I loved it for its smooth response and it became the only mouse I'd use for games (especially surf maps on Counter Strike where smooth motion was a must). The only issue I ever had with it was the day it finally started developing shorts in the cable. I must've taped rigid at least four or so lengths along the cable before the last short which was right where the cable met the mouse. I scrapped it at that point. It must've lasted four or five years of use & abuse so I certainly got more than my money's worth out of it. I would've searched around craigslist & ebay for the same model if my friend hadn't sold the Lachesis to me for about $20. | ||

I think you guys are just fighting over the definition of high-end. MX518 is still pretty heavily used throughout CS and I think it's still $40~, but I wouldn't really call it a high-end gaming mouse. Similarly, I consider a DA high-end, but it drops down in sales to $40 all the time, so it's not really that hard to get. A lot of people have started switching over to Razer mice and you're right, it's not because of CPI or most of the other features. The only reason I did it was the native 1000hz polling rate, which is useful because you couldn't change it in the RC of 64bit Win7 I have. Aside from that, and the finish on the mouse, it's an IME3.0. If you're still running XP and are using your own computer, those mice are perfectly fine. | ||

A laser mouse with a high dpi reading is the best you can get in the sense of specs, but imo the feeling of the mouse > that hands down. Everyone has different hands and I'm sure everyone has their own preference, so just try some out. I think the MX518 is one of the cheaper 'gaming' mice you can find. Also, regarding fps and aiming issues, I know the mx518 has buttons to change the mouse's dpi to various presets for better aiming in sniping situations etc. | ||

I've had an MX500 for the longest time and it recently broke. I looked into a new mouse and tried out a couple, I ended up getting an MX518 because the model is the same and I liked it the best (+ I have a really good history with logitech mice in general).

I'm not talking out of my ass, I like other razer mice, I like most of the mice posted in this thread, but the death adder has had a ton of issues and I refuse to use it. EDIT: Also I did used to own one, and it did skip, its possible it was during the 1.04 pull back that they were all just built wrong or something. Tons of people had trouble with it then, I don't know about now, but I threw mine away the moment I noticed it, and so did my teammates. | ||

Second, ESreality > Gotfrag when it comes to mice. Q3 players take it more seriously than CS players, which is saying a lot, and the sensitivity in Q3 has to be higher. | ||
