I'm using probably the cheapest logitech mouse you can find (optical). Should I switch? Will it help?

how come you think the intelli is a fingertip grip mouse?


I handle my IM 1.1 it with Fingertip Grip perfectly for myself. I cannot imagine using it with Palm Grip at all.

Guys, what mouse does come closest to the good old MS IntelliMouse optical 1.1? Currently I'm on vacation and I had the chance to touch my IM 1.1 again and it feels so sooo damn good. The well placed side buttons and the good and simple overall shape are addictive as hell. Unfortunately 400 DPI aren't enough anymore for playing SC2.

I couldn't get used to the Razer Salmosa, it just didn't suits well.

So what mouse would you recommend IM 1.1 lovers? Sadly there aren't many Fingertip Grip mices out there to try.

Thank you!

I used to love that exact mouse and switched to the Salmosa - it is flawless.
Why do you not like it? Do you play FPS as well? because for RTS, the Salmosa is amazing - especially for fingertip gamers.

It took me a day to get used to, I love it - just perfect.


I used the Salmosa for RTS purpose only. The handling between thumb and pinkie just didn't felt as smooth as with IM 1.1. Stiff would be the correct expression of the feeling.

This has always been my favorite mouse. The Steelseries Xai and Kinzu have close to the same feel as the 1.1 just with a little more weight. I only bought the Xai because some review sites compared it to the 1.1, and I'm happy with it.

I had the MS 3.0 for a long time and it's a good mouse, but I don't feel like it holds a candle to my Razer Abyssus in RTS games... Is the 1.1 somewhat similar to the 3.0 or? If so, I don't get why you like it so much

The 3.0 has a different feel to it. It's a lot wider than the 1.1 and has an indent on the side for your thump to rest. The 3.0 is my brothers favorite mouse. I think I like the 1.1 most because of its skinny shape. Obviously there are mice smaller and skinner then it, but its got a good feel for me.

Just got an Abyssus myself and it's sick for RTS, while still being very cheap by gaming mice standards.

MS Blue/1.1a is an ambidextrous mouse with a high palm.

OP, search next time. There's plenty of mice threads already.

Kinzu/Habu and Xai all have near identical shapes, but they also all have terrible sensors.

Among ambidextrous mice with good sensors, there's really only the Razer Abyssus and Logitech G1, and neither have the high palm. Still, they're both pretty excellent mice so you might want to try them at a local Best Buy/Fry's.

EDIT: Terrible is too strongly worded. Their sensors just aren't as good as the optical sensors found in Last edit: 2010-09-28 14:46:29
the above mice.


In Steelseries Xai Is it bad sensor?

I'm using this one too. I don't know if you'll believe me but this thing even makes you feel the difference in windows. I can say it is the same quality and about the same price as an abyssus.

The lights on it can be a bit annoying but you can shut them off if you want.

any mouse with prediction isn't a specifically good gaming mouse, because it's inaccurate. it doesn't mean they're bad mice or that you won't like them or be able to use them well, but they're technically inaccurate.

kinzu has prediction issues (though the xai doesn't, and i don't believe the ikari does either). mx518 has pretty noticeable prediction as well, as will most logitech g mice. ime 3.0 won't.
just airdodge diagonally into the ground.

It's not as good as the optical sensor Razer uses in the Deathadder and Abyssus.

Kinzu's is bad, Ikari optical's is bad, Ikari laser has negative acceleration and Xai has a bit less of it. Especially for RTS games, you may not even notice the Xai's hardware acceleration.
