I have been waiting for them to put razer mouses back up for like two months. Ever since I missed the last salmosa. During the last wootoff I missed the Lachesis because for the two hours I left my computer it came up. Now just 5 days after I bought mine from Buy.com (20$ with free shipping) this happens? But on the bright side, I somehow bought two mouses and even more interestingly only got charged for one. | ||

You lost a $1.63 compared to this deal. edit: AND YOU GOT 2 MOUSES FOR THE PRICE OF ONE? So you actually paid 10 bucks a mouse.... I was going to get this when it was on buy.com, but forgot. So this is a perfect time for me to get it. | ||

Apparently, I've been using the wrong kind of "grip" on my Deathadder and my type is more suited for the Salmosa, so I might as well try it with the price it's at. If anything, I'll use it as a side-mouse  | ||

I've always been against "gaming mice," but for $20 w/ shipping for this quality mouse it seems like a great deal. I just tried my roommate's Salmosa and it's gotta be one of the smoothest mice I've ever handled. Click is nice and solid too like the optical mini. I have terrible buyer's indecision =P I already got an optical mini. | ||

You may find that any old mouse works for you personally, but I'm confident that myself and many other players have found improvement in their game by changing either their mouse, mouse pad, or mouse sensitivity. Technique should go without saying. | ||

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.

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. | ||

I never browsed w/ the side buttons, i just use keyboard/mouse just fine. I can see where the Salmosa is lacking in overall comfort though. It's not really a leisure mouse. | ||

I have a quick question. I plugged it in and after a couple of seconds it started to work. However, do I need to install any additional drivers, because I do not have a DVD drive currently installed on my computer. Are they completely necessary and if they are, can someone link to a online mirror? Thanks, I'm off to play a game with this new awesome mouse. I've never had a "real" mouse before, and I'm excited. | ||

You do not NEED to install drivers, but it is highly recommended. If you don't install the Razer drivers, you'll just be using your mouse like a regular mouse. Razer's drivers give you fancy customization options (more precise sensitivity, change button mappings, etc).

I didn't install the driver that came with the CD. I just turned the DPI and polling rate (I think that's what it's called) switches to max on the bottom of the mouse. They were on the lowest settings by default. After that, it worked well enough for me. | ||

- I got this mouse during the last Woot.com sale for $20 + shipping - My mouse buttons squeak a little too, might contact Razer to see about a replacement - This is definitely NOT the Asian smaller version. I'd say this was either packaged wrong or is leftovers of the initial Asian version that was larger like the North American version until they realized they needed to make a smaller one for the Asians. Hence, the reason why the manual is in Korean and it is CHEAP! - I'm having a hard time figuring out the best settings as I posted in another Salmosa thread. - Oversky's mouse tutorial (posted earlier in this thread) is VERY helpful in understanding mouse control as it related to RTS and why too high sensitivity can actually be a negative thing. - This little game can be very useful when comparing mice and a quick way to figure out a rough sensitivity setting that works for you. If you find yourself misclicking a lot with this game then you know something is wrong because the blocks are so big and you can adjust the sensitivity quickly using the Razer software to see what improves your time. I'd do an average of your time over 5 runs or something for each sensitivity comparison that you make. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/games/play/1145 | ||
