Hey guys, just wanted to give you a heads up on the logitech m100 if you're frustrated with using the LMO in StarCraft II.

More "neutral" shape compared to LMO.
1000 DPI vs 400 DPI
Thinner cord.
Can be found for $10(less than mini optical)
similar size
Still optical.

Pretty good if you plan on updating your mouse for SCII.

how can you live with so few dps Oo

my mx518 runs on 1800 or something, and its not enough, i actually have mouse speed scaled up on windows a little bit, i guess 2k dpi would do just right for me. But 1k? That either means i can't reach half of my screens pixels or i feel completly alienated by the incredibly slow mouse movement x) i can't even think of just 400 without getting brain damage!

are you serious? you must have your windows sensitivity on like 1 or something, 1800 is insanely fast

I could be wrong, but isn't dpi just a measurement of how often the mouse is checking for position? I've always related dpi to how accurate a mouse will be, as opposed to how fast it is.
edit: looked it up, guess speed is a factor too. Now I feel dumb
Hi there. I'm in a cave, how bout you?

an inch for the whole width of the screen is hard to get used to. Don't see much benefit either

Nah, DPI is dots per inch means if you move a 400 DPI mouse one inch with the mouse on "pure" settings then it will go 400 pixels which means it takes 4 inches to go 1600 pixels (not even the width of some monitors).

frozenclaw can you please check if it has prediction/angle-snapping or not? Try to draw a straight vertical or horisontal line in paint(or elsewhere), if that will be easy then it has prediction if it will be almost impossible then it doesnt.

OMFG they finally listened to me/us gamers. I wrote them a lengthy message and email as well as told their employees on the phone about their lack of GOOD mice. I just hope they don't discontinue this thing in a year or two like they do with every other mouse. >.<

And it's only 10 bucks! I'm pretty much sold.

Mine is set to 3200 dpi and i play at 1920 i played sc1 at 1400 dpi and that is what 640x480. sensitivity is chosen to fit your play style.

just checked fry's site and they have them there, so they probably have them in store as well.
I think I'll buy 2 or 3 because they will inevitably be discontinued and when it breaks the warranty will be for something else.

Thanks man! Looks like a great cheap mouse for SC2 if 1000 dpi is enought. If only there was possibility to replace mousefeet with teflon ones and may be a bit bigger ones... It would be perfect mouse then!

1600dpi feels pretty good for 1920x1080 for me... I use a MX518 with two modes (1600/800) so I can go between 1920x1080 and 640x480 (BW) quickly. The problem with a mouse with only one setting is that you lose the feel of things when you switch to a different pixel/inch ratio (e.g. playing BW on the same monitor).

No joke. I have my MX518 set on 2nd lowest setting (windows setting set at exactly the middle-point). Anything above that, and I can't even see where my mouse moves with a minor flick.

And I play on 1600x1050 resolution.
