Read here for more information about mouse sensitivity and DPI. I managed to get 1:1 with in-game speed 9 and 1800dpi. I use mca64launcher to adjust in-game sens.

or, just go read the article I wrote, as it's far more accurate and less biased.

yes in some ways, but sensor tracks inconsistently in an unpredictable and unfixable way that effectively varies your sensitivity by ~5-7% or so. With a good sensor it'd probably be a sweet mouse, a lot of people seem to love the shell

Razer Abyssus all the way.
Talking BW B (B+ in 2v2, but that's a couple of years back now) and SC2 Masters. So not Pro, but definitely not shite either.

Not only is it a great, small mouse.
It's dead cheap. great for Starcraft and so incredibly durable.
I've got mine for about 5 years or so now. Been traveling to and from the UK/Germany (I'm an Interpreter, so basically 2-3 trips a month) for a while now, which means lots of knocking the thing around, and I'm always taking my laptop + mouse for a few games in the evenings.

I might be very biased, but for my needs nothing beats my lovely Abyssus.

Bad sensor

Take a look at the logitech g302/g303 (or even the cm storm xornet, though that's a lower end mouse the sensor works well unless you expose it to certain types of strain such as low sensitivity FPS swipes and the shell is good)

razer always seem to be hit and miss which varies from person to person. I had a razer abyssus which became spoilt after a year, then replace it with a deathadder 3.5 black that have lasted for like 3 years already and very happy with.

razer has bad build quality and is even more for marketing than most companies. They like flashy words and high DPI so they change sensors regualarly without regard for some of the qualities that are important to a lot of mouse enthusiasts.

They also have pretty big failure rates for mouse clicks etc - and some of the worst drivers, where turning them on will negatively affect the tracking of your mouse in a significant way. Worse, some of their newer mice do not have onboard memory so using the driver is REQUIRED to use anything aside from default settings

I heard Deathadder 2013 was a really legit mouse though. There's that /v/ list of gaming mice from a few years back. Not sure how legit it is, though.

EDIT: holy crap this image doesn't fit or something. Here's a link

yeah deathadder is a pretty good mouse, what cyro says is generally true most of their other models but deathadder begs to differ.

too bad they discontinued it for their shitty newer models/firmware.

I got Razer DeathAdder Chroma edition and really can't tell why is it in God mouse tier, I don't think it's that great. Yeah, it's high DPI cool but too damn expensive. Bought random chinese (company is Greece) Bravis BMG-733 which is 4 times cheaper than Razer and flashes with different colors like DeathAdder Chroma edition with high quality wire and truly I don't feel the difference. But its good to buy something with high DPI (+ dpi swithcer). Honestly, I don't really ladder nowadays much so maybe I don't feel the difference. But if you are starting to play no need to buy something expensive for start. You can get into B rank by cheapest thing. What I can suggest is stay away from wireless mouses.

I browsed gear of SC2 (ex BW too) players and most of them use Razer Abyssus.

eh they are sponsored by those brands so they are forced to use them. so they pick the best option which is usually abyssus/deathadder if razer sponsors them.

if you are having mouse accuracy problems, thats not your mouse problem, thats your own problem and problems with aiming. you can play a game like osu to fix that if you want xD

honestly there really is no difference between a regular mouse and a gaming mouse aside from customizable dpi and macros and shit.

I dunno, a lot of mice have issues with acceleration. I agree it doesn't matter for the most part. It's probably a bigger deal for professional FPS players, though.

That /v/ image is 2 years out of date (when actual change has happened) and it was bad at the time.

The Deathadder 2013 is good but not amazing. No onboard memory so has to use the awful driver 24/7. Some quoted lag/smoothness with the sensor compared to other mice. Questionable build quality and longevity

honestly there really is no difference between a regular mouse and a gaming mouse aside from customizable dpi and macros and shit.


for someone who doesn't particularly care about having awesome-tier mouse accuracy and who never loads an FPS game, that can be true - although stuff like the glide and usability of mouse shape is a big thing too. If you use any random mouse on whatever desk with no mouse feet or mousepad, then of course you don't care

best mouse ever! :D

No seriously. You might have to try several ones and figure out which one is the best for you. I always prefered small and light mouses. I can not play with heavy/big ones because my hands are so small.
You also have to play around with mouse speed, DPI and acceleration (i personally played without acceleration).


Ahhh the MX300. This is definitely the best mouse ever made, but unfortunately has been out of production for like 10 years. I use the G100s which is as close to that as they make anymore.

This stuff applies to their newest mice too

Cyro what do you think about the SteelSeries mice?


Pretty much all of the mice brands with more than a few products have some shit and some usable-good stuff. The Rival is good if you want a big mouse
