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. I've heard Abyssus and new DA sensor is pretty horrible :/ Jitters on QcK and no firmware upgrading (for the Abyssus at least). Stuck using a G1 until someone makes a decent mouse with > 450 dpi (though I'm going to see how the Asian Salmosa goes, but even before it arrives I know it won't be perfect due to angle snapping, and I've heard bad liftoff?) >_> | ||

was expensive, but I also do FPS games a LOT, where a good mouse matters as well. So for me, a good mouse and pad is worth the moneys | ||

But I use a really cheap crappy mousepad. Anybody have some suggestions that would work well for me? | ||

 Although, playing Starcraft with an Apple-manufactured mouse is funny. | ||

It comes to : fit > cheap > look. Like i said on the others mice thread, i hate razer. Haven't tried abysus or salmosa yet, but judging from its appearance it seems like the deathadder which isn't bad but isn't better as any mx5XX mice for instance. I really loved the intellimouse. Haven't tried kinzu nor kai but if it's almost the same shape then i'd go for it without any regrets. | ||

mousepad is also an issue. if you only play online and at home, use what you feel comfortable with.. be it bare desk or mousepad. if you compete, youll want to get a mousepad setup youre comfortable with because youll want to play on the same surface with the same mouse / mouse settings if you play on LAN | ||

That means every mouse would do good. Just get the one that fit perfectly with ur hands and don't bother with everything else. It comes to : fit > cheap > look.

I've tried Microsoft, Logitech, Steelseries, and some other less noteworthy brands, and finally most recently Razer. Personally Razer I've had the best experience with in terms of comfort for extended periods, responsiveness for technology level, reliability, and durability (I press my buttons hard). That isn't to say Razer is 'the best' just pick a price-range in your mind, then go to the store, try each mouse in your hand and see which feels most comfortable, then once you've narrowed it down to three or five that fit your hand nicely read the specs and and narrow further, then finally pick the one you like the look of the most. I like the Deathadder as per my previous post mostly because its one of the most comfortable right-hand only mice I've used. I find the thumb space in Microsoft mice too big, and the palm bulge on Logitech mice too high, the Deathadder seems to have it just right at least for my hand. | ||

It does, but all other factors considered it's my best option for now. I also have a Ktec 9500+ but that seems to skip pixels :/ | ||

It's also no more expensive than some razer mice such as the Abyssus which is great for RTS. The diamondback and deathadders are also similarly priced to the mx518. I haven't had any problems with skipping or anything on my Abyssus so *shrug*. | ||
