EDIT- Oh wow, I read "mouse" as music... Well, I would say the Logitech optical mini, its a most excellent mouse that should meet the requirements of anyone wanting to get good at starcraft. But in the end, it really comes down to what you're comfortable and familiar with. | ||

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)? Look for a mouse with as high dpi as possible if speed is what you want. The MS 3.0 is solely for low sensitivity users. Never use more than 6/11 at the windows control panel as it causes your mouse to skip pixels and that's bad for your accuracy. | ||

OP, just find the shape you want and you can find the equivalent MS/Logitech/Razer for it (or Roccat if you're in Europe.) Steel makes fine mousepads and headsets, but their mice always have negative acceleration, prediction, etc. These are the 4 companies worth buying from, although not all of their mice are worth buying. If you can, find an optical mouse instead of a laser mouse, but in most cases they're fairly close (except the opticals are generally cheaper.) This has been empirically tested. Not the "I've used this and it feels great!" crap that's making up the majority of this thread. Things like DPI/CPI are mostly irrelevant. Once you're past 900, I really doubt you'll be able to handle much more with normal settings. Turn off Enhance Pointer Precision, keep Windows mouse sensitivity on 6/11 and just play around with whatever combination of DPI and ingame sensitivity you'd like. About the mouses listed, Kinzu is bad. The IME3.0 is like the Godfather of FPS mice, but since we're talking about SC2, I'm not sure how it'll do. If you like the shape, however, go for it. Another consideration is the Deathadder, because it's basically the exact same mouse with a couple extra modernities and a better sensor. Here's your Roccat lineup/ http://www.roccat.org/ EDIT: Most of what these threads come down to is "I own this, therefore I will blindly defend it to justify my purchase!" | ||

What you need is something that fits your hand well and has the right weight - FOR YOU. Regardless of what others think, myself included ofc, that is what you should be trying to get and the best advice to give would be to simply go out to diffrent stores that allows for trying them out. They're both great mice though, both optical, kinzu lacking sidebuttons however but has a faster spec. Anyway, I think this is a bad way of trying to find what you need.  | ||

I imported a Roccat Kone a while back because I liked the shape a lot. and within 3 months it crapped out on me. Unless you really like the shape, go with Razer/Logitech over Roccat (unless you're in Finland, where I suppose you might get better customer support). | ||

I've been having stuttering problems when making quick mouse movements even in 1024x768 which never happened in BW because of its tiny 640x480 fixed resolution. I love the mini op but its sensor just hasn't been cutting it in SC2. Playable, but annoying. I have the MS Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 as well, but its size and weight strains my wrist and forearm after extensive SC playing; playing FPS with it is great though. It has an amazing reading sensor, now if there was a mini optical with the IE 3.0's sensor, that would be kickass. So, I'd like to know, coming from firsthand experience players who used the logitech mini optical in BW, what mouse are you guys using for SC2 or are you guys in the same boat I am? | ||

Most likely, you'll be fine with any comfortable wired mouse that doesn't skip. Most people will probably get more benefit from just tweaking the in-game sensitivity until you find something that works. Even with absolutely perfect control on the user's part, the boasted performance specs on a mouse will have a near-negligible impact on your actual play (for an RTS, at least). | ||

I guess the only exception would be if you have gigantor hands, and can claw grip those really long mice. | ||

Most people recommend also to turn of mouse acceleration if you use windows. That's about it what is important about mouse. Don't be fooled with high price mouses, they offer almost nothing that middle price range mouses doesn't have. | ||
