sorry to hijack a bit- I bought 2 salmosa's, but atm i use my crappy stock mouse on my desk. I don't wanna kill the feet on the salmosas, the stock mouse is already as good as dead. Should I get a mousepad for my new 1337 mice? If so, what kind? | ||

First, I got the Asian version (with Nada on the front and korean everywhere), is it smaller than the American version? That's what I've heard and I just was wondering. Secondly, what is the drawback to using 1800 dpi versus using 800 dpi? More computer processing or something (does a mouse even affect a computer much)? People talk about dpi as if it's so important, so I am wondering why there is even an option for a lower dpi since you can change sensitivity in the driver and seems everyone likes a higher dpi anyways. Same question for the polling, what are the drawbacks for 1000 vs 125 or 500? I'm not sure what settings I should put for my mouse right now. Thanks  Liking the mouse so far heheidk if this version is bigger or smaller than another version of it sorry :/ but it has nada! I use 1800 when browsing around/playing poker just because its easier/less movement/faster. I use 800 when playing sc for better control. Put it on 1000 hz, its a faster response time plain and simple as far as i know. On November 11 2009 16:07 gamecrazy67 wrote: lol today's woot is the perfect pull-up.

The feet on the salmosa are pretty good so idk if you'll mess them up, but yeah you should def have a mousepad regardless. | ||

Pretty nice mouse, very small for me to get a good grip (unlike diamonback) By the way at this point I don't think we should be talking about dpi anymore. Can anyone actually tell the difference with recent mice? -_- EDit: Not to mention theres no side buttons (WTF?). Honestly I don't think im gonna use it, who the fuck doesnt use side buttons? This is like digressing back to a Mac | ||

the one thing i really liked about the mini was its short usb cable (i use a laptop so its convenient to have a shorter cord). razer once again goes overboard with its 500000 ft cable (i used to have a copperhead). i guess that benefits desktop users but it is sort of annoying for me. as for the pros of the salmosa, there are many. first off, it looks absolutely sick. matte black with none of the gay flashy lights that we see in some of the other razer mice. it is also substantially lighter than the logitech mini and also slides easier on my mousepad (steelpad s&s) with its teflon feet. and this is after i put on teflon strips on my mini so the difference between the mini and the salmosa is very noticeable. the software lets you customize it a lot so pretty convenient (i can finally have a high sensitivity for touchpad and low one for mouse). the buttons are huge and the manual dpi/polling rate change buttons on the bottom are cool and don't get in the way. unfortunately i don't really have an idea of what dpi/polling rate does so until someone explains it to me i'll leave them at max. i really like this mouse so far and will soon take it for a run at SC and an intense game of solitaire. for those complaining that there's no side buttons... did you not read the descriptions or look at the pictures? the mouse is made to be simple (like the logitech mini) and is an amazing bargain at ~$14 +shipping. i highly suggest people to pick one up next time there's a deal. edit: just noticed this while i was typing. the mouse is so smooth on my mousepad that when i let go it tends to slide to the side depending on the formation of the cord. so if i placed it in a position where the cord was flexed to the side then the mouse would move to releave the flex on the cord. not much of a negative nor a positive but shows how smooth the movements of the mouse actually are. | ||
