Is this mouse ideal for SC? I know that some KTF use it, but how does anyone know the specs of it, like dpi, compactness, smoothness, etc. I know several people have this mouse on the forums so just wondering on feedback of what people think of it because i'm thinking of buying one

90% of progamers use the Mini optical, it doesn't have any different DPI from normal office mouses, its really little and for me atleast its perfect. It fits hand very well, well, atleast my hand.

I'm using Func sUrface 1030 mousepad with it and its very nice.
I also have G1/mx1000 and some other random mouses but Mini Optical is best by far.

Its great. You have to buy it. ^^;;

Well a large portion of progamers use it and if i remember correctly it's above 90%. It has a DPI of 400 i think and its very small so it might be hard to get used to if you've used big mice before.

But it's perfect for starcraft, and it's very cheap... so buy it and try it out!

I'm planning to get one next year. My Dad said it's pretty cheap for an optical mouse, so I'm getting one. And Logitech mice are really nice, I use one of the wheel mice and it doens't give me problems with SC. It's been in use for more than 4-5 years, but I'm getting the mini optical just in case this one goes bye bye. keyboard...SEM DT-35, wahehehe. Though, I don't know where I could get one >. > Anyways, go for it, and Logitech rocks. ^^

If its only 400 dpi and its on fastest speed then how can Progamers be so fast with it? Do they use a software to make it go faster then normal?

As far as i know DPI helps you aim and doesn't make your mouse any faster.
And because of SC's low resolution it doesnt even support 100000000 dpi.

Correct me if I'm wrong.

dude you can increase the sensitivity in windows. Personally i use two steps above the standard speed setting.

And 400dpi is plenty, anything over 800 is a waste of money. After all, the most popular mice for Q4 has been 400dpi MS1.1, and for counterstrike the 400dpi MS3.0 explorer.

I have a G5. If I put it at Fastest in Logitech and Computer settings and put it @ 400 dpi then its really really really slow. I actually watched some FPVOD's today of Midas and Stork and there is no way there mouse is 400 dpi or somehow they are making it faster then computer settings allow it.

Also, I think the Logitech Mini is 800 dpi and that makes more sense.

Keep the ball mouse

For one it adds to a players hype

I mean chicks get all hot for nal ra when he cleans his.


When I first thought my mouse was holding me back, I wasted 40$ on an wireless mouse, total waste of cash.

Stick with what you have, when it stops working, upgrade.

Since it was released in 2002 and there were only 200-400dpi mice back then i'm sure it's 400dpi. Says so on mine atleast.

And DPI is not about speed, it's about precision. Imagine a huge net on your dekstop and a higher DPI has more rows per inch than one with less.

it stands for Dots per INCH.
