for those of you wondering about DPI: http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=2

X = horizontal resolution (number of pixels)
Y = inches you must move to go from slightly beyond the left side of the map to slightly beyond the right side

(X pixels)/(Y inches of mouse movement) = upper limit of useful DPI

So, for sc2, if you are running at 1680x1050 (the highest resolution I have for SC2) and you have a ridiculously high sensitivity such that you can go from the left to the right side of your screen in 1 inch, the maximum useful DPI for your mouse is 1680.

If you have a more reasonable mouse sensitivity (like, you can move from the left to the right side of the screen in the space of 4 inches, which is like half the size of a typical mousepad) then the maximum useful mouse DPI is 420.

I have the G500, but haven't used much of anything else so I can't compare. The only problem, and it's a major one, is that it's really uncomfortable for position the pinky. I use a semi-claw grip and I just can't get used to how I place my pinky.

I got the Razer DeathAdder fairly recently and so far I'm loving it. I previously had the Logitech GX3 and that was alright as well, although the shape of the mouse may be unappealing to a lot of players. I don't think one needs to spend as much as I did for the DeathAdder though, it was just a present I got =).
One in a million is next Tuesday.

To be honest all these high tech gaming mouses aren't even worth it. Most of my friends that live in korea use this http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-930732-0403-Mini-Optical-Mouse/dp/B00006HMPF/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1275149168&sr=1-1

Nor does it cost that much. Really good for starcraft. I have two my friend gave me along with a samsung keyboard. Most of these high tech mouses are better for different games. All in all its personal preference. Njoy !

Yea it's a great mouse but many people these days have 22+ inch resolution monitors and 800dpi doesn't cut it anymore.

I have a digital scale and can provide the following weight information. I have found the weights listed online are unreliable. I even e-mailed razer technical support to find the weight of my salmosa mini and they were incorrect. Perhaps they include the cord in the weight. All of these weights are from an Ohaus Scout high grade scale. The cords are all held up about 10 inches out from the mouse in a mouse bungee.

Logitech Mini Optical: 71 grams
Salmosa mini (asia pro edition): 55.5 grams
Logitech MX 510 with weight removed: 97 grams
Logitech G500 with weight cartridge removed: 108 grams


Does anyone have an accurate weight for the regular Salmosa and Steelseries Kinzu? Please only reply if you have weighed them on a scale yourself and removed the cord weight as best as possible. As stated above the manufacturer's weight claims are unreliable.

Has anyone tried the Madcatz RAT5 or RAT 7 for SC2 ???

Do you think it will do good for Sc2 or its just for FPS ?

I'd argue the mouse that's comfortable is the best gaming mouse. For me it's one and the same. Mice with low sensitivity or DPI on large screens like the monitor I have feel like they're straining my hand.

I do have an mx518 however my hand for some reason feels uncomfortable in it if I hold it for too long...
or maybe it's just me.
Otherwise I find the mouse great~

I have a Microsoft 3.0, was gonna buy a new one.

If u put MS3.0 mouse on max speed, it moves at 2 pixels/update, and even at fastest speed its too slow.

That being said, any1 know a small smooth mouse wich is faster than the MS 3.0?

Or a way to increase mouse speed beyond the windows settings (Regedit fix does not work)?

Ive used Intellimouse, razer mice, logitech mice, random mice

And logitech mice are a clear winner in terms of quality.

However, there are only really 2 important factors in choosing a mouse. Quality and comfort. If you can find a logitech that fits how you hold/use your mouse, it will always be better than a Microsoft/Razer/Steelseries.
