Hey how different is a SS Kinzu compared to something like a Zowie Mico? Or even an Abyssus?

I've had MX518 and Kinzu, and I gotta say Kinzu is 10x better. Not like I was unhappy with my MX518 but after i've changed to Kinzu I feel so much comfortable with my mouse work than before.

It doesn't matter, all that matters is how the mouse is designed i.e. the shape

with that being said the xai/sensei are the best mice on the market right now

I have a MX518, and I'm quite happy with it.
I think I'll wait for the SS Sensei before considering upgrading.

Wondering if anyone can give me some advice about mice

I'm looking for one that has the same feel as the original 1.1 intellimouse [image loading]

it's starting to wear now after a solid 4-5 years

The kinzu looks very similar, can anyone confirm a switch from an intellimouse 1.1 to the kinzu and having the same kinda feel?

I just bought a deathadder and it's too heavy/slightly too big for me

Also, what DPI is sufficient for sc2? saw people commenting that 450-500 was too low, but no one said a good number

thanks!

Intellimouse Explorer I think and MX518 are widely considered the best two mice in the market (yes still) except for extremely high DPI users. Even then......

1800 is a good number for most users. Those 5k mice are nothing but marketing fluff.

400 is a bit low for a max DPI.

Remember the whole plan is to keep Windows Sensitivity on 6/11 and adjust DPI to feel.

DO NOT put DPI at 5600 and then reduce Windows Sensitivity, might as well by a cheap 5 dollar mouse if your going to do that.

I got the Intellimouse 3.0 today after reading all the confusing praise about it.

WOW is this thing a perfect fit. I'm coming from using a mx510 for 7 years (right button broke) and this microsoft mouse is just awesome. I don't like the second side button, but I never use that for anything anyway. This mouse is just light, and fits my hand perfect. 8'' wrist to pointer tip, 4''1/2 knuckle to thumb tip wide. If your hand meets that, get this fucking mouse.

IMHO: Everything is good for gaming beyond 800dpi and DO NOT use wireless mouse just because it's freaking heavy. (battery is making my life uneasy)

Just make sure it fit's your style of grip and it's your mice to go to.

hey guys i am now using razer abyssus but i don't really like it. It is made poorly, not that accurate and has quite a lot of jittering. What is the best claw grip mouse at the moment? Maybe anyone can compare other claw grip to abyssus so maybe it's not worth for me to change mouse.

At the moment I am looking at G9x logitech, anyone compared it to abyssus?

The sensitivity slider does not do what you might think it does. It uses rounding and stuff to skip pixels, and is just generally really terrible. That link someone posted earlier is pretty much the deal there.

ALWAYS 6/11. Lower is sometimes ok but there is a lot to keep in mind. NEVER higher.

Keep windows 6/11. Adjust DPI to feel. That is how it is done.

If you go 5/11 like I used to (but dont anymore, took my own advice), youll be looking at some wonky results that will take time to determine what they mean.

it is really small, and uses a claw grip. it is a well built mouse, but take into consideration how you hold a mouse and its size.

hey guys

Kinzu vs Abyssus

im getting a little tired of my kinzu, its a nice mouse but doesn't fit my style as good as i want. Maybe a little heavy for all the apm in sc2. Anyhow, how does it fair compared to the razer abyssus. I'm thinking of buying the abyssus right now.
