The steelseries kinzu has some serious issues with its sensor though, it skips a bunch of pixels (few dozens at once every few minutes or so) at 1600dpi and it's probably unfixable according to steelseries insiders. Other than that, shape and material are better than everything I have encoutered so far, no gay useless sidebuttons like the mini optical logitech - just brilliant. Unfortunately the intelli 3.0 has just 400 dpi, thus unable to cope with a 2560*1600 screen. Once they relaunch this mouse yet again with a new sensor, I'll have to stick to something else. | ||

Steelseries Kinzu (Xai, but expensive and too many features for a RTS) Razer Salmosa Logitech G1, G3, G9x (see Xai) Microsoft WMO1.1/ IO1.1 A palm-grip mouse works as well ofc, but considering your not playing SC2 with a low sensitivity like you might a FPS, a claw-grip style should provide more accuracy. This however, requires your mouse to be as light as possible. IE the Kinzu weighs 70gr only. | ||

Razer Death Adder ![[image loading]](http://img413.imageshack.us/img413/3615/razerdeathadder.jpg) Logitech MX518 ![[image loading]](http://img251.imageshack.us/img251/433/mx510.jpg) Intellimouse Explorer 3.0 (aka ie 3.0) ![[image loading]](http://lh4.googleusercontent.com/PrOrK8hc-l1pEiSxdHpW4ob1tubHZIKxeFZLt09aIvxH7y5YBgpsJWm3m70-2IFBfb1BlOMOIDxOiQzgZpvuI0bp0t4N-81Lgw3CblkxfrZuKuupyAGSyNsqy0Q) I have the MX518 for about 4 years and i love it to death, but any of those is equally very good. It's just a matter of preference. No need to pay lots of money for a top mouse. Some also good mice are the Diamondback, the Copperhead and the G5. | ||

But for me the most important thing about a mouse is its weight, without losing precision ofc. pure preference. i need a kinda big and not too light mouse. havent tested much different mice but i still use my 5 year old mx500 and love it. remember having the 1st generation intellimouse. was good too but it broke after only a year or something. most old razer models(dunno about the new ones) where way too small for me (im almost 190cm. so not the smallest hands) and i dont like symmetric designs in general.

 .I myself use a G9, had an MX500 before that for a couple of years. Reliable mice, the MX500 still works, although left click strikes sometime because dirt got under it. The G9 is especially great for my ultra high sensity preference. | ||

If you use around 1024x768, you will probably want to stick to around 800DPI for proper accuracy. For high screen resolution, it's best to find a mouse that allows small steps of DPI, but you still want to avoid 1600DPI unless you are running 1920x1080+ resolution. Regardless, form factor should be the most important point in your mouse selection. RTS games (SC especially) favor claw grip, which leads small mice to be rather popular - such as the Krait/Salmosa/Logitech Mini. Since RTS games are played at high sens, the above mouse chart is little use, since 99% of mice have perfect control and malfunction speeds FAR above anything you will ever reach. Unless you intend to pretty much dedicate yourself to the game, you might as well just use any mouse. Go with what is comfortable first, and if it's got the extra oomph you need, more power to you. edit: Oh, and in my personal opinion, the Krait and Salmosa are amazing mice for any game. The Krait has somewhat annoying rubber sides that will rub down over the years (but perfectly fine for the first year or so), and the Salmosa might have a squeaky mouse1 that will go away over time. | ||

![[image loading]](http://team-reverence.org/catalog/images/copperhead.jpg) The razer copperhead is what I am using it's pretty much the same as the diamondback and the krait and it feels perfect for me at least so I strongly recommend it if ur willing to spend a bit on a mouse however the Microsoft intellimouse is just great for the price that u pay | ||

BW has such low resolution that almost every mouse is good and accurate there. Sc2 on the other hand is more demanding. (imo) I play with Razer Krait (both bw and sc2 + some fps games and a lil bit of wow arena) and it has never failed me yet excluding some double clicking fails  Its perfect for the claw grip too. | ||
