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€.

The Abyssus is an excellent mouse. Spiritual successor to the Salmosa.

Just bought a Kinzu and am not happy with it. Their is a pixel skipping issue when running at 1600 CPI which as "peppermintschnaps" has commented on "is probably unfixable". This basicly means you cant run 1600 CPI with mouse acceleration disabled, it a huge deal in my eyes and i'm wondering how this mouse gets so much praise when it has such a huge pixel skipping software/hardware issue such as this.

The design is to short for my liking, if your a player who likes to rest his palm on the mouse (as i do), imo i found this mouse to short and very very unfortable to hold after a prolonged period of time.

Kinzu = Bad

I am looking into buying a new mouse. I have had my Logitech MX510 for 5 years (in its 6th) now and it has been awesome. But, it is starting to show its age. The rubber thingies have all come off the bottom and it occasionally skips and doesn't track properly. So I'm looking for recommendations. :D
I may just get another Logitech mouse because this one has been so good. I have been looking at the Microsoft Sidewinder X8 however. What do you guys think?

BTW, I have relatively big hands.

I have big hands too and I'm strongly considering buying the Madcatz/Cyborg RAT 7. Just because I'm tired of trying to conform to someone else's design. I used to have an old logitech gaming mouse (aka Mouseman 3) and loved that thing, unfortunately nobody makes mice like that anymore.

I'm worried a bit about the weight of the RAT though, anyone know how incredibly heavy it is?

I just bought deathadder (got it really cheap).

for those in canada, deathadder is sold at 45$ at futureshop until august 26. And the replacement guarantee is 9.99$ for 2 years.. therefore they'll replace ur mouse if it dies for any reason for the next 2 years all that for around 60$.

Stay away from Kinzu, it's the worst mouse I ever had. It only works reliably at 400 DPI, anything higher and the ridiculously invasive prediction kicks in, on higher DPI settings it is absolutely unusable.

The new 3500 DPI DeathAdder is pretty good, at least it's honest about its DPI and there is no prediction.

Salmosa is very good too, if you prefer a smaller mouse. It has prediction, but it is not as stupid as in in Kinzu.

MX518 is still a very good option.

Got it for $30 at Canada Computers. It's a really nice mouse, but you really don't need it for Starcraft 2. It won't limit you until you've reached the best you can possibly be at, in mechanics and strategy.
There is no one like you in the universe.

I don't agree. While strategy and mechanics are far more important, having a comfortable mouse and great precision with it is ALWAS good, no matter your level

I advise you to use the SteelSeries KINZU. The XAI is laser one but laser isnt good for RTS imo. the Kinzu is smaller and optical, really good for Star2 honnestly!

Quick Heads up! if anyone needs a new gaming mouse but doesnt have the money.. refurbished deathadder for 19.99 + 4.99 shipping http://wireless.1saleaday.com/ think its for today only.. that kills the normal price of 50ish. I got one for a backup since its so cheap

I bought the kinzu and the prediction built into the mouse makes it a headache to use, currently at 800/400 dpi its playable but yeah, i like the look and feel of the mouse in my hand just a shame about the prediction
