If you wanna go for something similar with Mimi Optical Mouse but better quality and especially for notebooks, I would go for Logitech VX Revolution. That's what I use and it's very convenient and easy. And it works really well too. I tried (still have for my desktop) and used MX 518 and I liked it very much, but nothing compares to my precious VX Revolution! ^_^

In this thread, we talk about how DPI means a lot, and completely ignore hertz. And all of our scientific information has been gathered by "playing with it for awhile".

On a serious note, if you don't know anything about mice, please don't just assume.
We have multiple brackets generated in advance. Relax . (Kennigit) I just simply do not understand how it can be the time to play can be 22nd at 9:30 pm PST / midnight the 23rd at the same time. (GGzerg)

I think it's an accomplishment that people try things at all before forming an opinion. Think about all those Mac haters who have never owned a Mac (or PC haters who have never owned a PC). Or better yet, how many of the people on this site who always talk shit about WoW/RA/other non-SC games (myself included) have actually tried them?

To stay on topic, I use a 400dpi mouse, which is fine for SC when I set sensitivity to max and acceleration off. But, when I switch to my higher-resolution desktop, it moves in units of about 4 pixels. Any way around this other than getting a better mouse or manually resetting the mouse settings every time you play SC?

Is your Windows mouse sensitivity at 6/11?

I hold my Mini Optical the Junwi used to hold his: not holding it straight so that both fingers are over each button, but moving the mouse a little to the left so that your thumb is resting beside the left button (and close to your index finger). It feels weird at first, but if you have long, boney hands like me, it's comfortable.

I forgot to mention that I'm also asian with average 5'5 height lol..
I am using it at 5/11 sensivity.. for some reason 6/11 seems really fastfor me.
I don't feel pain using it.. just weird because my hands tremble because it's not firmly placed onto the mouse (because I can't since it's so small).

Surprise, people have different hands and different preferences. Shopping for peripherals is all about what suits you, no one else.

Doesn't one of the retired or still-pro Korean gamers use a ball-roller mouse?

I think this post taught me a little.

ok

dpi is the rate at which the mouse samples movement

if one mouse has 500 dpi and another mouse has 1000 dpi at the same sense, the 1000 dpi mouse will move twice as fast as the other one

if you half the sensitivity of the 1000 dpi mouse, the movement will be the same speed, but far more accurate to the precise motion of your hand, as the sensor is tracking the motion twice as often (not to mention high dpi mice have generally more accurate sensors all around) there is an important exception to this - if you have such an extremely low sens that the mouse is only moving a fraction of a pixel every snapshot, then the high dpi does nothing.

to crank the sens of a high dpi mouse all the way up is pretty stupid, unless you have such good coordination that you can manage things with millimeter precision. sounds like a great way to give yourself carpal tunnel to me personally, but if it's working for you, then hey, that's cool

in fps games, lower sensitivity is generally considered conductive of more accurate movements. some professional counterstrike players do things like tape a grid of mousepads together because they seriously need that much space at their sens. i don't have a clue how this translates to rts games, it's not really the same type of motions at all.

I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

That post is mostly wrong. The only point of high DPI is to allow people with a high sensitivity to obtain a higher level of precision. It also has almost nothing to do with tracking accuracy.
