Though to be frank you don't need a really good mouse to play sc since its not like a fps game where every pixels counts. I used to use a $4 mouse and it was still good.

I have the Steelseries XAI and am perfectly happy with it in fps games... I doubt it's much different in rts (maybe with a bit of sens-tuning...) I've used like 10 different mice, 6 or 7 of which where the top-of-line Razer mice at the time... XAI rapes Mambas ass to pieces... | ||

Had a steel series pad before but this is something extra. I have had alot of different pads in my years of gaming and this beats everything by a lot. I hadn't tested it but read some reviews and it was recommended by Razer to go with my new mouse: Razer Imperator And the two make an amazing couple. I switched to a pure palm grip and cranked my sensitivity up by quite a lot and I could just feel after a couple of games this weekend now how much my control have improved. Just yesterday I found myself thinking "holy crap" when I was in an early rush micro battle and pulled off some sweet moves. Anyway, two points to this: 1) Don't neglect your mouse pad. 2) No matter what you end up with, good hardware can and will improve your game so play around until you find YOUR combo. The above is mine right now... It's gotta be better than all your previous gaming pads since Razer recommended it and some reviews claims it to be ! Made me giggle a little inside. This thread should be renamed to "Which mouse do you currently use/own?" as this is what 95% of the posts are about. To keep it in that direction, I currently use the Deathadder too and I like it. | ||

I love the texture on it, especially on the black area, where your thumb is. And I'm using "cloth" pad. Can't stand the glass and metal pads people use. | ||

I guess I'll just avoid razer altogether, mechanical issues on months old mice are just unforgivable. | ||

A gaming mouse would only make sense if you were at the top of the top, and every little extra thing the mouse is better at actually makes a difference. Until I reach the limits of my trackball, I am not upgrading. actually most of the people at the top of the top dont use gaming mice. look at all the korean pros... theyre using logitech g1 style mice and $10 keyboards that they know are consistent. same with fps games, although youll see alot more steelseries and razer because of sponsorships; i.e. i think it was team EG who were using ms 3.0 and logitech mx518, then got picked up by steelseries and they all had to use steelseries hardware. this isnt to say that gaming hardware isnt good, just keep it in perspective- most of the time the extra cost is for gimmicks (higher dpi does *not* make your mouse more accurate) and alot of top players prefer to use tried and true mice that dont cost anywhere near as much, and usually only use newer "gaming" hardware because of sponsorships or ergonomic issues. | ||

That is pretty much along the same lines as what I was thinking. I see no reason to go out and buy an expensive mouse that you THINK works better than the one you have. The only reason "gaming"mice sell is because people want to be able to call themselves true gamers because they have the "best" hardware. As the top-level Koreans with $10 keyboards have shown us, hardware does not matter. What matters is skill. Stop wasting your money. | ||

I use a freaking WoW mouse, because I honestly can't find a mouse that feels natural to me. The WoW mouse is clunky, ridiculously huge, and most people that play on my computer hate it's electronic guts: But I still am very comfortable with playing with it. | ||

I'm really curious how good the razer spectre really is. It doesn't really look ergonomic, but otherwise it could be nice. | ||

I was looking for a new mouse to replace my old MX518 recently then I stumbled across some sites that talked about how nice the MX518 is for gaming. So I went on Amazon and bought a new one to replace the one I have. I LOVE the feel of that mouse and have never had a single bad thing to say about it ever. Very excited that it's such a nice mouse and that I'll be getting a new one within the week! | ||

RTS probably require a hell of a lot less accuracy than an FPS (before I get flamed, read that line again) | ||
