im currently using the razer copperhead with exactmat but for some reason, it's hard to use it for pinpoint precision, for instance.. it's hard to play like sc with it cuz the mouse isn't really that comfortable, and it's hard playing minesweeper too -.-;;

you talking about starcraft or counter strike??

either way, the problem most likely is that ur not used to your mouse yet. That or play with the sensitivities. and ofcourse if ur like most ppl, accel should be off.

yeah you probably just need some getting used to...

but try turning off 'hardware acceleration' in mouse properties. that works sometimes

if you really want to turn off accel, go to ftp://ftp.thecpl.com/ and dl the mouse_fix. Just turning off mouse_accel on options doesnt do the trick.

I didnt know this and played for years without the mouse_fix. I got so used to it that when i turned off accel, i couldnt really aim.

I stated this somewhere but people in the cs community usually agree that best mouse for cs is MX series or intellimouse

mousefix basically edits your registry to disable mouse accel. You will notice the difference right away assuming accel was on prior to installing

Make sure you turn off ALL acceleration.

the copperhead is awkward like the other mice that razer puts out, it just takes some time getting use to, the mx series is very nice although some of that series is only for right handed people only. Yeah mouse accel really screws you over in CS no matter what mouse you are using...

Stick with a good mouse and mouspad for a few weeks before you judge either too harshly. I bought a func surface mousepad and didn't like it at first, but after I while I did. I also didn't like the mx518's shape at first, but now I like it and I feel confident in both.

I used to play at a Internet cafe where the mice were very accelerated, but after a few times I got used to it and was able to play well. Then I'd go back to my own mouse and it would feel awkward until I got used to it again. The body's muscles have to adjust to different setups. It's not like you can just jump into an awesome CS player's setup and expect to do what they do. Some of those guys have very very unique setups as well.

Accel kicks ass. It's only fucked up because different offline tournaments use different windows versions which all have really, really different accel builds.

Don't concern yourself too much with all that DPI jazz, get a mouse that you feel comfortable playing with. The newer ones are all around or above 1200 DPI, which is way more than was thought possible a few years back. At times I think I'd gladly switch my Diamondback for an older mouse.

Its about feeling comfortable with a mouse. I cannot stand microsoft 3.0. I like Logitech mx300 myself. Other people love Microsoft mice and hate Logitech.
