i prefer light mouses. maybe heavy ones are a bit more accurate, but i think it's not that comfortable to play with a heavy one. i have a mx510 and it's wight is exactly how i need it.

edit:
after thinking about it again i'd say it doesn't really matter how heavy your mouse is. you just have to get used to it and it will be fine.


dude.. i used to have mx510, it's a nice mouse but it's definitely not a light mouse.

Well I am fanatic about mouse weight. I am using a LMO and I have added my touch.

1) removed mouse scroll
2) removed scroll switch - which is soldered to the board
3) removed 3rd button micro switch - soldered to the board (when u press down the mouse scroll)
4) removed all the stickers (yea the stickers and the adhesive glue adds to the wieght)
5) removed the screw driver holding the upper body to the chassis
6) removed mouse skate

The only thing left to do is:
1) Replace the thick usb cable of LMO with the thin usb cables that comes with razer mouse.

What the hell? That's a lot of work on an already tiny mouse... Wow, not in a negative way. I'm just genuinely surprised.

Light > heavy.

the force necessary to accelerate an object x meters/second/second is proportion directly to its mass. The more massive, the harder it will be to change direction. Thus, the lighter the mouse, the better control.

Someone needs a lesson in tracking sensitivity. People who use a heavier mouse will have greater sensitivity settings and they can move the pointer just as far, just as fast as someone with a lighter mouse.

I prefer a large, moderately heavy mouse because:

1. Heavy mouse / high sensitivity combination requires less free space for the mouse to move around, which works well in a cramped environment, and more importantly
2. A large mouse feels better in my hand than a small, light one.

Since my hand is big, I need a large mouse so it'll feel better (not too big, but i dont want a tiny laptop mouse)

And a moderately heavy mouse. I don't like over sensitive mouses that shoot out in a direction just from the slightest touch. I want something with a little resistance

Physics is physics. All other things equal, it will take longer to manipulate a heavy object than a light one. My argument has nothing to do with size, though surface area of the contact between the mouse and your pad/table will have a huge influence on the static friction (the barrier of force you have to break to get the mouse moving.)

Thus, neither of your points are valid:
1.) Heavy mouse/ high sensitivity requires less free space than a heavy mouse/ high sensitivity, or a light mouse on low sensitivity. That is not to say a heavy mouse/ high sensitivity requires less free space than a light mouse/ high sensitivity.
2.) A large mouse can also be a light mouse. Just to play some extremes, if you had two mouse(s) of the same size, one weighing in at 0.5 kilos and the other so light that the additional resistance provided by its mass is negligible compared the air resistance surrounding your hand, I think the option would be obvious. You make the argument for fit between hand and mouse, and it is entirely irrelevant to the mass of the mouse.

I like heavy better, it feels easier to stop on and be precise with.

Just my 2 cents
