I had a standard logitech before it died, and I loved it.

I bought a "gamer" mouse, the Steelseries Ikari
but this mouse is just not made for me, way too big for my grip.
After I learned that there are different grip ! I'm more of a claw grip I guess (this mouse is for palm grip)

So i recommend you read on the razer site the FAQ about mouse grip before buying one,
I now just bought the Razer Salmosa on ebay :

Hopefully this one will fit well !
Thanks for the advices guys

Excellent choice. the Salmosa is soooooooo amazing, especially for sc2. With claw grip the thing is a rocket ship Everythings just that much easier using this mouse. Its precise, light, and fast so essentially it makes you better at sc2 in every way

Logitech MX 518 gets my vote. Ive even repaired my lead twice. Ive used it so much it has no pads on the bottom no label on the back and the plastic where the light thingy is is starting to rub. i simply wont part with it until its unusable.!!
Cheap as too really.
If you think playing with under 100APM is noob try having a ping of 450. Welcome australians to BNET 2.0....

As the top-level Koreans with $10 keyboards have shown us, hardware does not matter. What matters is skill.


well it still does matter. while they use cheap keyboards, theyre not just picking up anything at random. there are still things to look for: http://starfeeder.gameriot.com/blogs/tasteless/secrets-of-starcraft-pro-gamers-the-competitive-keyboard

just like how in mice you really should just look for tracking performance (which is actually never listed anywhere ) and ergonomics depending on your grip

I use a Razer Imperator, but that's because i've just transitioned from competitive FPS to SC2...

Either way, it is still a phenomenal mouse if you can afford it - being able to change DPI on the fly is great, i use around 4000 DPI when playing SC2 as it allows me to get to different units quicker and micro better, also seems to put less strain on my wrist having a higher DPI.

I personally can't use a standard optical mouse anymore, find it too slow and inaccurate even with standard Windows use!

I think all this new hardware with 9000+ DPI is going a little bit overboard. I have had mice that have had high DPI settings but find them to be way too sensitive for my liking. I had an MX518 until just a few days ago from when I used to play CS competitively and I was a fan of low sensitivity and big sweeping movements of my arm while playing because it gave me a lot more precision in aiming.

I haven't really changed my sensitivity preferences but I've moved on from my MX518 to a G500 because the wire was getting messed up after 6-7 years of heavy use. I like the G500 and it's a nice new toy with fancy features, but I don't think you're going to find a mouse better than the MX518.

The Razer DeathAdder is very solid, the sensor is prolly the best on the market. It is pretty heavy tho and is slightly awkward on the right side, so make sure ur into that sort of mice be4 deciding on it.

I for one am getting the Heaton EC1 mouse which is due mid august, hopefully this'll be slightly lighter and better shape wise. If this doesn't satisfy I'm definitely getting the SteelSeries Xai.

in my opinion i like the razer series,
right now im using the imperator, easily one of the best over all gaming mice i have ever purchased


the side buttons are adjustable it has a nice feel two little buttons for adjusting mouse speed on the fly (which you can program 5 speeds to switch to) 5600dpi, gold plated usb, nice cord,
get this for around $70.00] + Show Spoiler +

I have a 2$ dell crap mouse and a razer (death someting iirc). And guess which one I use to play sc2 -_-.

Ya, the dell. I just changed the speed to fastest speed in sc2 options. Goes pretty well.

Starcraft 2 is not BW!!!! BW was on 640x480 resolution that means if you had mouse with 800 DPI you needed 0,8 inch to move pointer from left to right on the screen, so if you want to keep this ratio in Starcraft 2 with 1680x1050 you need mouse with 2100 DPI (2475 DPI for 1980x1200 resolution).

You cannot play Starcraft 2 1980x1200 resolution with 400 DPI mouse because you will have move 5 inches to go from right to left side of screen.

Also Starcraft 2 uses third mouse button to push drag screen, some may find it very useful.

The 3.0 is an amazing mouse, and one that I've used for many years. However, for StarCraft 2, if you're going to play in a resolution above 800x600, you will unfortunately need a higher DPI mouse. I've had to swap to my G1 for the mean-time because Windows sensitivity doesn't cut it (causing pixel-skipping and hence kills precision).

Over the years i've used a ton of mice of different brands, but G5 is the one I always go back to. It's just the most comfortable, and I loved on-the-fly DPI switching.

Best all-around mouse to me period, MX518 would be second choice.

Hey guys, what do you think about the Razer Abyssus? Right now i have the Microsoft Sidewinder X3. I really like tinyer mices like the abyssus but i don't know if it's any good for starcraft2...I've seen the razer deathadder is only +15€ but its too big for my taste. The Kinzu is an option too, but i've read it has acceleration problems(?).

Help me please.

PD: The abyssus is 33€ here in spain, the deathadder is 47€ and the kinzu is 36€.

Hey!

I bought the Abyssus a while ago and I love it. For me way better than the MS 3.0 and deathadder. It's perfect for claw crip if you like pretty small mice. I bought it with the Razer Sphex mouse pad btw, imo excellent combination.

What really proves that I like it is that I bought the exact same combination for my computer at my parents' without even thinking twice
