By the way guys, if you got a screen with 4 to 2 ms response timer and you use XP (It should work in vista/win7as well but no confirm) Then you should get urself the Intellimouse and just clock your usb port to 500/750 you will get a really quick and precise mouse.

400dpi is not enough for sc2

I hope you are not serious..

He's probably just lazy

But on a serious note, I use 400 dpi mice at work all day. It's what I'm used to, play fine with it and have never thought, man I wish my sensitivity was higher!

You can just crank up the sensitivity, as long as you don't heighten it too much the precision is still good.
A game where the first thing you do is scout with a “worker”. Does that make any sense? Who scouts with a “worker”? That’s like sending out the janitor to perform recon, what general would do that? Retarded game.

Depends on the game, but in most cases DPI and sensitivity work near identical between the way you move the mouse and the rate your cursor will cross the screen. Quality of the sensor means way more. I think it was the original G5 mice that had piss poor sensors but a high dpi with a high error rate with faster hands.

So my Razer Diamondback is screwing up and the middle mouse button is basically not working, so I need to purchase a new mouse. Would anyone recommend the Logitech G9? According to everything I've heard, it's one of the best out there and it seems as though it would feel comfortable in my hand (which is complete prediction). The only thing I heard that's wrong would be that it's somewhat tough to press down the middle mouse button and it can put strain on the middle finger. Is it really that bad? Also, it seems as though every other mouse has some sort of flaw to it, it's just that the G9 seems to have the most insignificant. So the G9 mouse, yas or no?

I have a 100% working G9 mouse that I retired because I felt like the shape of the buttons and the shape of the actual mouse was more suited to FPS games. I barely ever use the middle mouse button in SC (so this complaint was somewhat either responsible or possibly irrelevant to me personally) but for me to press the middle mouse button my G9 it pretty much feels like I have to break my finger to do it. It requires soo much god dam force to click it.

But hey Fruitseller uses one, musn't be too bad right?

I need some advice guys, I'm looking for a mouse with a "rough" surface. I find my current mouse has a smooth surface and gets kinda sticky. Any suggestions?

Kinzu, it has a nice rubbery finish that feels good too.
Why would you ever choose failure, when success is an option.

Read this topic : http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=142026

my arm would fall off at 400dpi on my 1920x1080 screen. I much rather use my 3600dpi mouse then a 400dpi mouse, which i do cuz i play a fingertip grip.

What matters much more is what mouse you're using on what mouse pad. FPS may be concerned with perfect large hand movements to go from x to y 100% of the time but rts you're using a lot of relative positions to do selections and movements being close enough and faster if better then being on the money at the risk of being slow.

Well, for one thing, the latter is a pack-of-5, hence the price. Otherwise it looks like they're the same mouse.
