If you were truly an FPS hardcore gamer wouldn't you be worried about:

1) G9x's high LOD.

2) G9x's non-centred sensor?

3) G15 is an extremely bad keyboard. I had a G15v2, and even compared to this cheaper Sidewinder X6 that actually does have keyblocks - X6 has a proper volume knob, media keys that dont take 80g of force to depress and has much better key feel.

4) 1000Hz vs 125Hz is not that much of a difference. Its 1ms (theoretically) to 8ms (theoretically) but you have to take into account Keyboard Lag (8ms) + CPU Lag (20ms) + GPU Time (15ms at 60FPS) + Frame Transmission (16.67ms) + Double Buffering Lag (14.67ms) + LCD Response Time (12ms). Relatively, 7ms difference on 1000Hz vs 125Hz is absolutely nothing, especially when 1000Hz increases CPU load unnecessarily.*

5) I'm pretty sure RSI has nothing to do with High DPI/Sensitivity, in fact it would be more believable if Low Sensitivity DECREASED chance of RSI because with High DPI, less physical movement for more cursor movement, making even large differences in cursor movement be extremely small physical movements, making each movement extremely similar to each other. With low sensitivity, one uses the arm and shoulder to control aim, while also reducing the side effect of jittery hands, making each movement have a larger relative difference to each other, reducing the "repetitiveness" of each action, reducing RSI.

6) All PS/2 Keyboards are NKRO. Its not very hard to find a NKRO keyboard, and since I explained earlier that 1000Hz makes pretty much zero difference.

False. A lot of PS/2 keyboards are not NKRO. NKRO requires changes to the internal wiring of the keyboard. Having a certain interface to the PC does not magically give it NKRO.

7) You probably played an FPS game that requires zero aiming skill to play. e.g. CoD6/5/4 or Battlefield 2/2142/BC2
All professional/good Quake, CS1.6 players use low sensitivity, because they are games where aim is rewarded heavily, and thus needed. CoD4 is just MP5 + left click = airstrike.
I was a heavy FPS player before SC2 (CoD4/6, CS:S etc), but seriously, all FPS games require no skill apart from some old school FPS like Quake/CS1.6...

I've tried to download the setpoint for my g9x but it always say that its not connected. Every other mouse I had, deathadder and MX518 worked on their software. I use windows7 64bit and I tried pluggin the cord into different port for my g9x but it always say that it's not connected and I'm not able to customize anything =[

What's wrong with a high level of detail? That's the whole point of buying a good mouse instead of a shitty low dpi mouse. You can always reduce the sensitivity with software. You cannot increase it with software without causing terrible aliasing.

Whether it's centered or not is relative to your hand and your joints, not relative to the shape of the mouse. And it only matters if you're twisting it instead of translating it. It causes no problem whatsoever.



I don't use keyboard volume knobs or media keys anyway. Those are bloatware.



5ms ping vs. 40ms ping is extremely obvious in any FPS game. Keyboard interrupts are only generated when you actually press a key, so the CPU load problem is nonexistent. You're pulling numbers out of your ass and double-counting multiple categories.



The middle word of RSI is 'stress'. You're not stressing muscles or nerves by making tiny light movements. Almost no one gets RSI from mousing, anyway. It's almost always from the keyboard. I never made the claim that the mouse was relevant to RSI.





I play CS and TF2. And "X game requires no skill" is always a shitty excuse from people who suck at it.

I think he said Hwani (probably butchering that name) give the Mechanical keyboard to him, and he's been using it ever since. you can hear it on his stream.
