You absolutely need something with a higher DPI to play SC2 effectively. | ||

The best part? It's only $40. It does only have 450 DPI but the comfort makes such a difference for me. If you like the Intellimouse shape but need something with higher DPI (if you are a high-sensitivity player) then try the Logitech MX518 - it's pretty similar. It costs a little more though. | ||

the one you have right now is fine you don't need a "gaming mouse," "right-handed mouse," "macro buttons," or "high DPI" the only thing you need to consider is - is it accurate enough on slow speeds when enhance mouse precision is on? - is it fast enough on fast speeds when enhance mouse precision is on - is it big enough for your palm (just avoid really small mice) - weight - shape basically, just avoid those small USB mice that are too small to control and way too sensitive to be accurate and On September 14 2010 12:25 Uranium wrote: The best part? It's only $40. you can literally go to a pawn shop or something and get a great old ball mouse for $3 no one will do this of course, but i'm just saying a mouse is the one thing you don't need to look to much into on a computer; as long as you can use it comfortably its a great mouse | ||

It's good. I got it as a backup for my Salmosa. I like both mice but if you love your current mouse keep it. I had an optical mouse and I loved it, even played CS for 2 years with it. Only reason I upgraded was because I won a Salmosa, and then bought a Kinzu. Love both but I would not ave switched if I hadn't won the Salmosa first. | ||

Also: Logitech G5 is a sweet mouse. Grab it up. Or really just go down to a store that displays the mice and get a feel for them. They might not have the selection you want but you can definitely find something that feels right. | ||

So then I went out and bought a Logitech G5 because I had a lot of recommendations for it and had heard lots of good things. Played with it some, thought it was ok, but I wasn't blown away by any means. After awhile I decided to give the Mini Optical another chance. It was during CSL and I was my teams' Ace player so I practiced a fair amount with it and whatnot. Ended up switching to a fingertip grip and I absolutely love my LMO now. So I guess my point is even if the G5 is a "gaming mouse" and its good quality, that doesn't really mean much of anything. Sure I've heard the LMO supposedly isn't good for sc2 but that hasn't stopped me from reaching 1k+ without putting any real effort into sc2 so far. Don't expect a gaming mouse to make you play better. | ||

I mean i know its not going to make me a different player etc...but you never know how it feels till you try | ||

"Gaming mice" are overrated in my opinion, using one won't improve your ability to play. Why spend all that money when a cheap mouse can be just as comfortable and effective? | ||

Also, a tip to anyone: get rid of mouse acceleration for any game if you haven't already. Just use a mouse pad that has enough surface. It might take a couple of days getting used to no acceleration, but it's worth it. No acceleration basically means there is one less variable deciding how the pointer reacts to a certain hand movement, thus helping your muscle memory "learn" a lot easier. | ||

I have had an LMO for about a year, it rocked for BW but it cannot handle SC2 at higher resolution, it is either very sluggish or it skips pixels. buy a mouse with modern DPI yea this might also be a problem since i play at max settings etc... | ||
