For me either Salmosa or Abyssus (the later is the one i'm playing with right now, and it totally kicks ass), cause i'm using the clwa grip, and light mouse seems to be the best. I don't like either one of the choices in the OP. On October 18 2010 17:50 Orzabal wrote: I bought the Abyssus one week ago. Inreach convince me :p What dpi/sensivity do you use ? I was at 3600 dpi but I reduce it to 1800 with a sensivity of 10. I have a eXactMat from razer. The goliath is better ? Congrats. Abyssus is a great hcoice for RTS games. But i would suggest to NOT play on a sensivity of 10. manage the mouse speed with the dpi (1800 should be fine, too fast of a mouse sucks). afaik 6/10 is the best setting, cause it will be translatet as 1:1 pixel. if you use 10 or whatever it sth like 1:3,345897346187, and screws up your accuracy. | ||

So well, my hand is 6.7inches long (pretty small hands, I'm 5'7''), and don't really have the option to try every gaming mouse I could, here in Lima there's only one place for decent PC hardware and mice aren't the biggest concern. 'been reading nice reviews about the Intellimouse explorer 3.0 and the Logitec Mini Optical .. but there's one thing: I play at 1920x1080 on Ultra settings (don't know if it matters), and this mice are supossed to be only good for low resolutions!! I'd really appreciate some help here! | ||

The mouse depends on your kind of grip. you can't say "this mouse is the best". For me either Salmosa or Abyssus (the later is the one i'm playing with right now, and it totally kicks ass), cause i'm using the clwa grip, and light mouse seems to be the best.

I'm going to fiddle with my DeathAdder some more when I get home. Teehee | ||

However the last version I used did not have any tactical feedback for the wheel for for FPS games where you use the mouse to switch weapons, it would always over / under scroll. It was so bad that the scroll wheel was unusable. So I bought a MX1000 to replace it but have since switched to the G5. I figured I could use the Intelli mouse at work for regular computer usage. But I was wrong again. The scroll wheel did not work properly with Eclipse IDE (I'm a software developer). Finally one day I googled it and found that it was in fact a common complaint. It is such a turd it's been sitting in a box ever since. I think they gen1 and gen2 were pretty good in their time, and they did have tatical feedback in the scroll wheel, but they all stopped functioning once the wires broke where they go into the mouse,the Gen4 (I think it was Gen 4 b ut maybe it was a 3.0) last one was so bad I'll never use it again. I have a Razer too, but it's probably too sensitive for SC2. | ||

This mouse might be the god father of FPS gaming but if you want to buy it for Starcraft 2, think twice. - It's quite big and only suitable for the "palm" hold, not the "claw" hold (FYI most good SC2 players use claw) - Its resolution is low, which means you will either have to sacrifice accuracy to move fast, or keep accuracy and move slow. This is extremely painful especially when you play on a 1600+ resolution. A good mouse for Starcraft 2 would be a mouse that has light weight, high sensitivity and small size. The idea is that if you look at a SC2 pro playing from further than 2metres, his right hand will always look like it's staying still. I learnt this lesson the hard way by buying the mouse first before doing any research. At the moment I got it shipped in and unwrapped it it I knew I made a mistake - a RTS game mouse just CANNOT be longer than 120mm. I think a lot of opinions posted on this thread were from people with FPS background, thus the favour towards Intellimouse 3.0. | ||

Roccat Kone+ ![[image loading]](http://www.tweakpc.de/gallery/data/664/medium/ROCCAT-Kone_front-left.jpg) -Flawless tracking. -High quality build with the most solid wheel I have ever seen. -Smart functionality allowing me the control of my whole f***n computer with just one mouse so I hardly use keyboard while doing Windows general stuff. I mean... 5 profiles x 21 function each. That's insane... and no its not overloaded with buttons. In fact, there are only 2 at the sides. -Size and design IMO allow a hybrid claw-palm kind of grip for more movement and precision at the same time. The mouse slides like on ice on my Razer desktop skin. -That's not mentioning plenty of other goodness. -And finally, Pew Pew Lasers shine from the mouse in any colour variation you want! Nonstop handgasms. Edit: For those, who are bragging that small mouses rule for RTS: I have always had trouble with splitting probes for 2 months now. After I got the kone+ (which is pretty large), on the second night I had 100% success in doing that on a sensitivity at least 2x of what I had been using before. Its like the mouse reads your mind and puts the cursor where you need it with hardly any hand movement. | ||

The thing with small mice in RTS is not that smaller means more accurate, but in RTS you tend to click and move a lot more (than any other game genres) - so with a smaller mouse you can mass games much more before your hand getting any tired thanks to less hand movement and the 'claw' hold. | ||

That's true, but the magic of all the mouses with very ergonomic designs is that size matters less with them. I have a medium sized hand and I have no trouble claw-gripping that big and tall kone+ for high sensitivity play. Additionally the large size lets my hand relax on the mouse body from time to time with minimal adjustment. Just my opinion though. Edit: Forgot to mention. Claw-gripping needs you to have a very glidey surface for the mouse. Otherwise your hand will get tired no matter what size your mouse is. | ||
