sure it is, if you want to play B/B+, you defintly need the latest razor gear worth at least 300$. A friend of mine has all equipment there is and he made it to B+. When he bought tapes for his wrists and a 1:1 replication of a professional booth along with the latest TL chair, he finally got to A-. Its pretty unfair especially if you are poor and cant afford all that stuff. | ||

For example, I like finger grip so for me a small and light-weight Mice is important. However, for FPS I like slightly low movement speed so I need to either change the mice or change the DPI. How ever I have a huge PRO tip for all of those who dont know about it: The surface is more important than the mice. This is due to how mices work. They pick up every inconsistency in the surface, no matter how small. Many try to buy fancy mice pads but in my personal experience, a very clean polished table works wonders in mice accuracy. However, some people like me have sweat problems while playing for long time so for that a big pad from a cloth type texture can work decently well. Another thing that is important is to have the perfect accuracy/speed ratio. This is something quite easy to understand and change but hard to get used to. First and foremost: Make sure you mice is set to the SAME speed in Broodwar and your desktop. If you have a different speed, every time you go out of broodwar your mind and muscle memory will begin to change the broodwar mindset to another one (other games, desktop, etc). Second: Your mice speed should be fast enough to got from one corner of the screen to another corner of the screen in a single move, at around 80% of your total capacity of movement (this means that if you need to lift the mice, or move your elbow to get from corner to corner, the speed is too low), yet slow enough to get from one zergling to another adjacent zergling without feeling forced (you msut be able to move naturally, not focusing especially hard to to move the mice "slowly"). There should be plenty of room for both. Then of course you need to get used to it, takes around 3 weeks of daily use. | ||

On the fly DPS adjustments are nice because when you go into BW your mouse sensitivity will jump up like crazy because of the resolution. So I drop mine from like 800 to 250 or so for BW. | ||

Both logitech are excellent mice, but my G400 is the better one - one of the best mouse I ever used. Razer have bad build quality (broken down after around 12 months of use) and steelseries was crap for the price. TL;DR Go for the mouse you most comfortable with. My friend use those logitech trackpad mouse and still kicking my ass at CSGO. | ||

Assuming 4:3 640x480 fullscreen: You want a mouse with 800 dpi. Why is that so? Ideally you want the windows mouse sensivity sitting at at 6/11 (with no acceleration) because then you have (almost) no interpolation which deteriorates accuracy. Which means you'll manage sensivity with the DPI itself. You want DPI that matches the (used) screen diagonal in pixels (640² + 480² = x² --> x = 800) so you can easily move across it. There are many mice with 800 DPI or a 800 DPI mode so you can find everything from cheap and bad, low-priced but surprisingly good all the way up to very expensive mice. Avoid laser mice because they are unreliable. Look for optical (infrared) sensors. You could also get a mouse with freely adjustable DPI and set it to 800 but I would advice against that. First: You probably need a custom driver/software for that which is always the worse option to using just the default windows interface because it adds another layer of complexity and probably delay. Second: Sensors with freely adjustable DPI have to interpolate themselves to get to that value so you swap one interpolation with another. Third: Those tend to be expensive. More DPI than 800 are wasted in Broodwar and probably makes the mouse more finicky and thus less accurate for most people. My recommendation: A Zowie EC1, EC2, FK1 or FK2 (the one with the ergonomics that suit you most) with the sensor set to 800 DPI mode. Those are excellent mice with extreme durability. They're optimised to be used with the default windows driver and all settings can be adjusted on the mouse with no additional software needed. They also have 1000hz USB polling rate by default which is always nice (can be lowered if needed). A complete alternative option: Go oldschool and get a mechanical mouse (those with a ball) and a good mousepad for that type of mouse (I can recommend slightly hardened rubber). It really fits for Broodwar, because these are the mice which have been played with back in the day. Be prepared to clean the insides after every match (yes, you'll get paranoid) but that's like getting new strings on your guitar for every concert. You'll even like it after some time as a way to relax and focus on the new match. Some dealers still sell factory new Boomslangs from time to time which have been hoarded in storage quite a lot but they heavily vary in price (and don't be surprised if they're are NOT from razer ^_^). I would get one if I find it for less than 40 bucks. I play Broodwar with a Boomslang on my second PC and it feels awesome :D | ||
