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

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.

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.

yes i am that lazy to move my hand :D my windows sensitivity is one tick higher than medium, and i run my mouse on full dps which is 1800, just checked the box. To get across my full 1920 pixels screen width I move a little over 15 millimeters, which is about a three quarters inch, and i can handle it perfectly fine ^^

i only rage when trying to do some pixel perfect paint skillz, but my cursor keeps skipping a single pixels every now and then, because of the scaled up windows sensitivity setting. It's always exactly the pixel you're trying to reach, you know? x)

I just went to Fry's to buy some of these and I found out there is also a M110, the only differences is that it comes with a ps2 adapter and the mouse wheel can be clicked left/right for side scrolling. So I picked up 4 of them, at 15$ a piece. Hope it turns out to be a good mouse, otherwise I gotta return em all.
They come in same colors, but the trim isn't black on the white one it's like a light grey/cream color.

ps- there is no drivers for this specific mouse, I'm assuming the general logitech drivers would work though.
http://www.logitech.com/en-au/428/6540?section=downloads&bit=&osid=1
edit- ok upon plugging in this mouse its really inaccurate. Trying to mess with windows settings and setpoint/logitech drivers to see if I can fix.
I can't be sure but I think the drivers helped a little. Still not very accurate at low speed.

I'm kinda thinking it has something to do with how the plastic is so thick around the laser eye.
can anyone take a pic or scan of the bottom of the mouse so I can compare?

I just checked reviews on newegg and people seem to love the m100 and the only reviews for the m110 are the same as mine, inaccurate. I'm really disappointed right now.

no, but i have no idea how those razer click. The m110 seems to click more smoothly than a razer viper.

Ok, I just returned the M110's Which is probably one of the worst fucking mice I've ever used and I exchanged them for the M100's which are amazing.

Here is a comparison from my Razer Viper and the M100. See if you can tell which one is which.

Haha I have this mouse! I'm using it right now! Being a college student, it was very affordable and it was the only gamable mouse sold at Barnes & nobles on campus. So good! Would recommend it to anyone ^_^

hey boys, does anyone have info on whether you can disable mouse acceleration with this mouse?
the logitech rx250 seems to have mouse accel built in or something, so I'm a bit cautious.

Seems like there is little to no amount of acceleration on M100 (I got one in my right hand right now). That amount of acceleration doesn't hurt at all imo. I kinda like that.

alright, so I got myself an M100 as well. 10 EUR at the local store isn't too bad
Don't really like the somewhat loud scrolling sound but apart from that everything seems to be good. Acceleration seems to be off when you set it so (in setpoint config) and the lines I'm producing in Paint aren't overly straight either.

sorry for the necro, but I feel inclined to discuss this mouse just in case others are still interested in this mouse and searching around for info.

Don't get it.

It feels comfortable, very much like a G1, and very lightweight, but the tracking is ridiculously horrible. 1000dpi, sounds nice for a cheap mouse, but it is so incredibly inaccurate, and pixels already skip at the 6/11 mark, cursor jitters enough to the point where you can tell pixels are skipping. Not only that, if you lower the sensitivity notches to fix the skipping, the cursor will lock up in fast movements just like in the LMO.

I just bought it at walmart for 10 bucks yesterday, played all day with it today (thinking all I needed was to get used to it) but it's impossible. The cursor is ridiculously unpredictable because at quick movements it stops tracking correctly. Tested this on a few cloth pads and on my plain table.

edit: res at 1920x1080

Maybe there are different versions. My M90 tracks up to ~1.4m/s without any jitters. Or maybe the sensor doesn't work with your mousepad (I got a Razer Goliathus Speed cloth mouse mat).
