1. Razer copperhead - I got used to this mouse. I started to like it a lot. However, it was still too big 2. Razer diamondback - I did not like this mouse from the start. way too big and heavy 3. Razer Deathadder - too big, too heavy 3. Razer Salmosa The best mouse ever for me. It's light, small, does not have the extra buttons that sometimes get in the way (at least to me) . I really love the basic design of this mouse. It's great! I've been using it for 1+ yr and no problem so far. I really recommend this mouse. | ||

But even in the super-fast world of Q3, gamers prefer low sens and big mouse pads for lots of hand motion (to make up for the low cursor speed). The context of the point being this: that in comparing RTS and FPS players, FPS players almost universally have lower DPI settings. For 2), yes you said something quasi-similar, but you were implying that DPI = accuracy. This is the exact opposite of reality. Higher DPI equates to lower accuracy in terms of human performance. That's the point I was making. Sorry I didn't properly respond to [4], I was in a rush. You said that the Deathadder is "faster" but gave no indication of what you meant or why "faster" is better. Does it physically move faster on the mouse pad? Is it "faster" because the cursor speed is higher (because the DPI can be higher)? And how does being "faster" in any of these ways make it a better mouse? I'm not going to say that a Deathadder isn't a superior mouse to an MX518. However, I have reasoning behind my positions, and I'm frustrated when others either don't have any justification for their opinions or don't voice them (or in your case, are just ambiguous as to what they mean). The OP is asking for help, and a lot of people are offering "this is the best mouse" with no qualifications or reasoning. Maybe they're right, but think about it from the OP's perspective. This isn't a poll, the mouse with the most votes isn't going to "win". The OP is trying to make an intelligent decision based on rational discussion. 2) I didn't really mean to imply that. I don't know whats going on. I can swear I'm posting something but it isn't in my post or thaen i double post or something. I;m just trying to point out that you don't need the specific accuracy // it isn't as important unless you are imcroing individual zerglings, and looking at DPI (high or low) isn't as necessary for RTS, BECAUSE accuracy isn't as important. And taht looking at the mouse responsiveness in general is more important the ndpi numbers. 4) Sorry, I just meant faster as in "less time elapes between when you move the mouse to when the cursor on the screen moves" I think less "mechanical lag" is always better. My friend used to play dota with some stupid laptop wireless mouse thats half the size of a regular mouse and he would always complain when he died, and he would get angry saying "I clicked". I never understood what he meant until i got on his computer real quick to look something up and his mouse seriously does not respond when you move it. Morale of the story is don't game with a mouse some cute girl gave you just cause you want to get into her pants when she isnt' there because in all likelihood it will suck and you will die and be ngry | ||

So you can get one for 18.87 or two for 31 dollars, or 3 for 45 dollars. Either way, I completely disagree, it is not the best RTS mouse available, it is probably the cheapest decent one, but not the best. | ||

I personally wouldnt choose a intelli 3.0 neither, because i just feel comfortable with a higher sensitive mouse(less space for moving across the entire screen->higher DPI). Despite there are voices who have a low opinion about razer mice, i honestly wonder why. Maybe the material could be better for that price, but i dont see a really alternative if i want a sensitive, light and not clumsy mouse. Among clumsy i mean mice like mx518, mice which are designed for palm grip users. If i have to choose a new mouse, i as a fingertip user would probably buy razer abyssus. | ||

It won't be too heavy or too light for you, and will reduce the strain on your hands through extended use. Plus, its fairly cheap, got one for $35 AUD. | ||

I got a bug a while back and thought I wanted to buy a new mouse, and the more I tried out the more I came to believe that while the razers might be a little nicer, I don't think they're so much better that their worth the difference in price. I pitched in with some people last summer to buy a friend a Lychesis for his birthday, and it is a great mouse, no doubt, but I don't think it was really worth the money when you put next to some of the cheaper stuff. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.ocaholic.ch/xoops/html/modules/xcgal/albums/userpics/10001/Logitech%20Gaming%20Mouse%20G500.jpg) I like this one, the Logitech G500 Gaming Mouse, it was about $70 at Best Buy, user defined weighting, has 200-5700 dpi, with 3 user defined settings you can quickly switch between, 10 programmable buttons, and a scroll wheel that can switch modes with the push of a button to either free-spin or click-to-click. In any case, I highly recommend any of the mice from the Logitech Gaming Mice line, durable yet versatile. One warning though, you'll never like regular mice, again! hehe :p | ||

this is the same sensor used in the diamondback 3g, and salmosa. theres actually a newer version of the death adder called the 3.5g or something which is what the abyssus use as well the salmosa i found is actually lighter then the logitech mini optical. the optical is slightly more comfortable because the sides next to the buttons go in instead extending straight like the salmosa.. also theres the squeaking mouse button that u can fix by applying chapstick to the plastic contact points which require u to take apart the mouse but doing so wont actually damage any warrenty sticker so if u like the logitech mini optical i suggest the salmosa if u need more dpi for whatever reason | ||
