What do you all think about using the new Razer Mamba 4G? I just got it and I still need to get used to it. I was using the Logitech G700 and I'm not sure which I like more.

I've used the older mamba for 2 years now and it's a pretty nice mouse, main problem is it was just way too big for my hand T_T

61% ingame means you are skipping pixels.

I bet you use palm grip.
Those who use claw grip and fingertip grip do not have the room to move their arm as they use base of their hand as point of support.
Personally I use fingertip grip and I can move my mouse 1 inch up/down maybe 2 inches left/right. So as you can see, if I use a 400dpi mouse, the highest resolution I can play at would be something like 800x400. Which obviously I cannot do lol. Personally I use my g9x at 3600dpi and I have perfect control over my mouse.

Bought 2 Razer Salmosas before they went out of production (actually for 13.37 on a woot deal that was posted on TL before the SC2 beta).

Since then, I've killed one of them simply by sheer use, the coating has worn off and the clicks no longer feel sharp. I've recently unboxed the other "new" one I had, and it really felt as great as the day I got it. It's a superb mouse. It's prediction and somewhat low dpi by modern standards has practically no effect on my gameplay.

I'd recommend the Razer Salmosa (and by extension the Abyssus) to anyone looking for a gaming mouse for SC2 who uses some kind of claw or fingertip grip.

I have an Intellimouse, and when playing SC2 i claw grip. 400dpi on 1920x1080, 53% in sc2. No real problems at all. I can get around most of my screen without really having to move my wrist only except when i have to click the minimap, and then i only move it like half an inch.

First of all that is a Palm grip mouse which I think you already know. If you have small or semi-small hands I would certainly not buy this mouse. I bought it and because the size of my hands I just couldn't play with it. I bought a Logitech G9x instead. If you have big hands and you palm grip then I don't think there are any reasons to not get it.

Could anyone be so kind and suggest a mouse that fits me?

I use the fingertip grip and want cable! I don't think i need it, but i want the DPI to be >2999

I'm now using the Roccat Kone, and i'm not especially satisfied with this mouse.
I've thought about getting the Razer Abyssus, might that be the right choice for me?

i suggest g9x without grip, like how mvp uses it, i think g9x is the only finger tip mouse that have perfect sensor above 3k dpi.

here are the mice i have used so far for starcraft (brood war and II):

- Logitech MX310
- Logitech MX518
- Razer Diamondback 3G
- Razer Imperator
- Razer Mamba
- Steelseries Kinzu

i use them on a funcpad. i have always preferred small mice though - i would have to go with the mx310, kinzu and diamondback for my top three favorites. mx518 is a solid mouse, but too bulky for my likings. using the kinzu right now, surprisingly satisfied with it. i really like optical mice.

And in white, it looks amazing

hmm why is acceleration a problem for kinzu? i disabled it on both my windows and the kinzu settings, and i have never felt acceleration since then. i would never use a mouse with acceleration for starcraft

The kinzu has built-in acceleration and prediciton in its sensor. You can't disable it. You can disable in windows and the drivers/software but you can't get rid of what is built-in to the sensor.

I love my abyssus, i have big hands so i fingertip grip it and it barely touches my hand, giving me a ton of freedom to move around.

I have Roccat Kova+, works perfect with a clawgrip and is lightweight and small. Perfect for RTS imho.

Someone asked about the Spectre: Dont buy it. The laser sensor is actually horrendous and have all sorts of issues. Just do a search here on the forum and you'll find quite abit of info. (I bought it used it and returned it).
