ok then, explain how every virtually every progamer uses classics like LMO/G1/1.1a/3.0 instead of the new junk that just came out? You might argue that these players are too accustomed to their previous mice but if the new mice actually made a difference with their 12379481747034 dpi and god knows what other bullshit they tout, people would actually switch to them.

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.

I won the Deathadder in a Starcraft tournament and have been using it ever since. Realy high DPI and sensitivity which took some getting used to, but once I did I can't go back to my old mouse because I feel it moves way too slow.

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

People will use the mouse everyone else is using because everyone else is using it. Find one you like and stick with it. Personally mx518 and G5 v2 (Success of the mx518) are my choices.

When my friend upgraded to the new Razer Mamba (which I must admit is incredible) I bought his Lachesis. The differences between the two are nearly negligible save for that the Mamba does all the Lachesis can do and then some while operating either wired or wireless. The Lachesis is easily the smoothest and fastest responding mouse I've personally owned though.

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.

Lol, you messed up dpi & screen resolution.. Anyway, I think the most important thing is the feel of a mouse. 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).

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.
It has a strong technique, but it lacks oo.

what im trying to say is that u dont need high dpi to play FPS games, with high DPI u cant shoot well
because u have to keep a very firm grip on the mouse because the slightest movement translates to huge swings on the computer screen the only need for high dpi is its someone is behind u, u can turn around fast imo, but i will have less accuracy

You recommended the death adder. Probably the worst recommendation a gamer can give to another. That mouse is FAMOUS for skipping, its a garbage mouse and every single competent player that has used it, switched back to an ime.

Death adder is baddddddddddd

The problems people were reporting with DA were mousepad specific. Not the sensor itself.

Go on gotfrag and post that, then they'll laugh at you and give you plenty of links from pro players saying it skips.

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.

Read the Gotfrag threads about it, it's specific to people using certain pads or doing something stupid like 450 dpi.

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.
