I just received my Salmosa asian edition, I was suprised at start since it's so small ! big change with my last mouse that was Palm grip. After a few hours with it I can say it's a very fast and accurate mouse.

I have the DPI set at 1800 and windows mouse speed at 6/11, however, I find it a bit fast, will pulling it a 5/11 be okay ? I heard you need to always put it at 6/11 in windows for pixel skipping or something..
Thanks!

Just decrease your DPI. Higher dpi will make your mouse faster too. Don't change the 6/11.

I didn't install any program to change the DPI so I don't think i can do that.

I have a switch on the back on the mouse for 800 or 1800DPI
I don't want 800DPI since it's too slow at 6/11, and for me 1800DPI seems a bit fast for what i'm used too. (had a 1400 DPI mouse before this one). Or i could get used to 6/11, but 5/11 seems better for me.

I think it's behind 3/11 or 4/11 that the mouse start to skip pixel, i'll be fine at 5/11 i guess

I have a razer mamba.

was it worth it?


fuck. this. mouse. SOOO expensive. It's a great mouse and all but it's not worth all that money.

Anyway back on topic, I loved my IME (or whatever not sure about the acronym) 3.0. My problems are that the 400 dpi is not enough for me. Even on 11/11 it wasn't up to my liking. Other than that, it's probably the comfiest feeling mouse I've ever owned. It served me very well into CAL IM for CS and it's overall a great mouse especially for shooters.

I think that diamondbacks/copperheads and whatnot are better for RTS games? Perhaps thats just me but I find that higher DPIs are more important for RTS games as your hands are quite a bit busier than in FPS.

Could use some advice. The thing is I use the palm grip and I have very big hands so what I'm looking for is a mouse that's as big as possible really. I have an MX518 at the moment and it's a great mouse but it's a bit too small for me, I haven't had a really comfortable mouse since the original Intellimouse Explorer. Does anyone make a gaming mouse that big? I need about 1400 dpi at least.

Any suggestions?

I think the Razor lachesis is a nice big mouse. Far to big for me to use anyway. I use a Salmosa myself.

G500? Not sure on the size of the Intellimouse Explorer but I think the G500 fits your description well.

have a intellimouse and a razer diamondback. the razer works nicely for fps because i rarely ever lift the mouse off the pad in fps, but the balance distribution of the intellimouse is so much better when it comes to rts.

You guys who like the intellimouse, do you find the low dpi limiting at all? Or does it not really matter if your click is a few pixels off?

I also have a Razer Orochi and I highly recommend it. Like many other Razer mice this one can be used wireless (though with Bluetooth for this particular model) or wired (for higher resolution tracking). It's very portable and comes with it's own carry case. It also stores button configurations in on-board memory so that you can plug it into any PC and keep your settings.

It's pretty small though, so if you're used to using big mice or palm-grip then I'd avoid it. Excellent for finger/claw style grips and it's very light in wired mode (in wireless mode the weight increases due to the batteries). I prefer the precision that using a finger-style grip allows, but you've got to find what works for you.

Haven't tried any of the other specialist mouse brands but I'm very happy with the purchase I've made.
Razer also have a mouse selection guide on their website if you're interested in finding a mouse that suits your play style.

Funny, I have the mamba as well, and I find it worth every penny. It cut down on my carpal tunnel pains, and that by it self is worth twice what the mouse actually cost (used to use a logitech mx500 or something like that, heavy as a brick) the mamba was really light and slides quite nicely.

One thing i have been wondering though, i have the right side buttons bound to 0 and 9, so i dont need to move my left hand quite as far up the keyboard. But this relies on the mouse driver application, would that be allowed in tournaments like MLG were it states that no 3rd party applications can be used?

My ikari laser broke after just 3 months. So I switched to the optical one. Although that doesn't mean anything just because mine broke, i just got paranoid and bought the optical one the next time and it works perfect.

regardless of my bad luck I too have a Ikari and I love the shape of it!

Anybody know where to find the Microsoft Intellimouse 3.0 Black in Canada? I found it on Amazon.com but it won't ship to Canada... every other place is out of stock or the item is deactivated (Newegg.ca etc).

Thanks!
