EPTThat said, if you really want a gaming mouse with comparable dimensions, I just measured my Salmosa and came up with ~59mm wide x ~114mm long, so you should get a reasonably similar feel with it.

Weight - Heaviest --- Lightest DA > g5 > IMO3.0 I picked up the 3.0 a few months ago and it felt VERY light after having used the death adder for about a year. I've used the abyssus and it basically feels like your holding nothing. In reality, any gaming mouse will help you out but if you want the best i'd get the abyssus or if you got the money, wait for the sc2 gear from razer to come out. | ||

I just got my LMO and it feels quite suitable even on 1680x1050...I just downloaded the driver software and adjusted my sensitivity through there and I think turned on mouse accel. Is that generally considered "bad?" I feel quite comfortable with my sensitivities and stuff in SC2 and feel like I play even better than with my G5 which has many DPI settings. My sensitivity can get quite high with the LMO after I tweaked it, so it feels just as fast as my G5 but doesn't make my hand cramp up after 2 games. | ||

One thing I personally would do and recommend would be to avoid looking at the really fancy specs and just look a the picture and the size specs. Any mouse you buy nowadays is going to be good enough in terms of all the dpi and whatever else they use now. $35 Kinzu does seem like a good way to go if you are set on changing though. Totally agree with you on the Kinzu... to an extent. From the looks of OPs current mouse, the Kinzu shape would probably fit him. Too bad the Kinzu has the worst sensor known to man. I prefer its shape over every mouse I've tried, and unfortunately it's rotting away in my drawer as I type this. And before anyone mentions the Xai, imo sucks due to its increased size, weight and more importantly price ($120+ here in au$land). Using the Abyssus now, not entirely happy with its shape but I love its weight and sensor. | ||

I was tempted to buy a kinzu like 2 weeks ago when there was still a sale on them but yea, i heard about a horrible sensor to...Im leaning towards either steelseries or something not really razor just because their mice are so different im afraid i wont like them.. i wish there was a store near me where i could try out mice before i bought them or at least grip them >.> | ||

You will find that if you turn it off with the LMO you will either have to move to mouse ungodly distances to get across the screen or turn the sensitivity way up and it will begin to skip pixels. What mouse drivers are you using? The LMO has no native drivers. | ||

QQ though want a Logitech Mini 2.0 with DPI settings. I just like the size and shape... :{ Edit: Heres a pic of the SetPoint thingy, you can change the pointer speed without turning on accel. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/8896/newbitmapimagefb.jpg) http://www.teamliquid.net/blogs/viewblog.php?topic_id=85865 Artosis uses it too apparently too You want enhanced mouse precision off too, right? | ||

I'm not top 10 in the world competing in GSL for a cash prize. I play this game to have fun, and yes I do want to win at it, but the way to do that isn't by buying a new mouse or changing my current mouse settings. Its by actually getting better at the game. Mouse acceleration makes your movements inconsistent. It's difficult to improve if the most basic element of your play is constantly dynamic. It's like practicing tennis with a different sized racket each time, or shooting hoops with a different ball. | ||

in conclusion - many "gamer" mice are not that great for rts. most sc progamers use basic mice, try one - they're cheap. | ||

Hey Trevabob. Where did you order your Logitech Mini Optical from? I'm in the same boat (UK, FPS vet, think my Deathadder is too heavy for SC), but all the stockists for the Mini Optical looked a little dodgy. Thanks in advance. | ||
