I geuss you need to do a little bit more research. The wireless functions of the razer mouses mamba and ouroboros are so great it's in terms of latancy as good as wired. And with a little bit extra weight, i have seen as claw grip user it isnt that bad, the extra weight of the battery gives me more stability.
What's great is indeed you can make it wired and use it without battery, i already tried it but it doesnt matter (for me).

Hi guys, having some issues with my Razer Imperator 2012. I don't have any software installed, I have the mouse loaded with my configurations and everything has been fine up till now. But now I get random points of slowness, where the cursor seems to slow right down atrandom points, this is happening in-game as well as on the desktop. I'm running windows 8 and the mouse sensor looks to be clean, I gave it a wipe and everything looks ok.
Any idea what could be causing this? The mouse is about 6 months old.

My third DeathAdder is giving the the infamous scrollwheel skipping and random doubleclick issues. I really have to say I preferred the Copperhead which was always reliable for me. I liked having my buttons separate from the chassis. Regardless, 3 DeathAdders later, I still like the mouse ok, but I'll be damned if I buy a fourth because they die on me way too quickly.
So I saw this thread and was thinking maybe you guys would be able to offer some insight.
1. What's your grip style? Mostly a palm grip, though my fingers are generally elevated slightly and not on the mouse aside from the tip, which I'm sure is common but definitely not a claw grip.
2. What's your sensitivity? Medium to high, depends on the game I'm playing somewhat. High for fps, medium for rts/moba.
3. What's your maximum budget? I've got esports moneys. Nothing I won't consider. I'd rather spend a lot on something I can use for a long time than skim now and switch in 6 months.
4. Do you want additional buttons? They mostly collect dirt for me. I don't mind them and it's not like I'd avoid a mouse that has them, but I'm sure most Copperhead users were trained not to use them because the 2 extra on the side were awful.
5. What games do you play? This won't be very helpful. RTS, Moba, FPS, even the occasional mmo like Tera.
6. Do you mind angle snapping? I don't mind some light angle snapping, but growing up as a quake player, I'm pretty accurate in making my mouse go where I want it to without the need for assistance. I'll be very hesitant to get anything with extreme angle snapping.
7. Other relevant information: I'm pretty much open to any brand, I'm really hoping to use this thread as an orientation. I don't care too much for excessive customization on the hardware side, I want a mouse not a transformer, so that's not a real benefit to me. Durability is a consideration though, sick of my deathadders dying :/

ha, the scroll wheel is so messed up in the 9500+, occasionally I'll stick it in a spot and then my screen starts stuttering bc its in between a notch somehow. Is that the max ips for the sensor though, cause that seems really low for the 3668.

Yeah I would say the best mouse for palm gripping and the sensor is pretty much top of the line, also one of the most reliable mouses out there.

Thanks for the advice, really helpful. I went ahead and asked around and the only negative point that's being repeated is that the G400 is really heavy. Any truth to that?

@Martjin
Can't speak to the G400. I never buy Logitech mice because I hate the their shape (many of them have a huge uncomfortable hump). I would recommend you look at a Mionix Naos 3200, which has settings of 800, 1600, and 3200 DPI (though I don't recommend the 3200 dpi) or the Mionix Naos 8200 if you must have laser over optical (or different DPI settings than the above).
The Mionix mice are simply amazingly ergonomic and comfortable. You never realized how much you wanted a pinky rest on your mouse until you have one. They're the perfect palm grip mice. Not for lefties though. Durable, too. At least that's their reputation, and mine is still performing as good as the day I got it two years later.

I might be selling my Sensei to a friend, so i might need a new mouse.
1. What's your grip style? Some hybrid between claw and fingertip grip. My palm light touches the mouse, and my ring finger is on the side of the right mouse button.
2. What's your sensitivity? 400 or 800 cpi depending on what i do.
3. What's your maximum budget? Not really sure, but around 50 euros or less
4. Do you want additional buttons? Not needed, but buttons for forward/back are nice
5. What games do you play? Starcraft, sometimes CS
6. Do you mind angle snapping? I don't want angle snapping
7. Other relevant information: I want a light mouse, and it should be quite small. Mouses i've been looking at are Zowie MiCO, G9X and Razer Abussys. I prefer optical because of the issues i have had with laser mice like Sensei (way too sensitive to dust, doesn't track well on cloth pads) but i've seen so many use the G9 that i guess it works well. I will be able to try out some of these mice at Assembly Winter so i can see which has the best shape, but what would perform well?
E: Did searching and saw that the Abussys can't do 400 and 800 dpi/cpi. I think its between MiCO and G9X then.

Does anyone have the zowie ec2 evo? I am thinking of getting this mouse but I am scared of the stiffness of the switches that might hinder my APM in sc2. I know it is great for FPS gaming though. I am debating either the g400 or the ec2 evo at the moment.

You should consider the Deathadder

Any reason why? Is it good for fingertip/claw grip? The dpi settings kinda worry me because im so used to 800, but im not sure how they are in the new 2013 version.

Fair warning, DeathAdders break rather frequently. My current one lasted 3 months before the scrollwheel started skipping and 5 before left click started randomly doubleclicking at times. The 2 before that lasted longer mind you, but they had the same issues eventually.
Though, if they didn't break so often, I wouldn't be here looking for something else.

Weird, my friend has had his Deathadder for over 3 years and haven't had any problems, and other friends has had his for 2.
Zowie MiCO would have the perfect dpi settings. im probably gonna go and see what fits my hand before i buy anything.

Does the IMO 1.1 have high enough DPI for 1920x1080 resolution?

Its good for claw/fingertip (honestly you could probably make anything work), argubly best sensor available (no positive or negative accel, no noticable angle-snapping, insane max tracking speeds, etc)
With regards to DPI, im pretty sure you can just click to 900 on the 2013, and its generally suggested to use the native 1800dpi on the 3.5g (version before 2013) and use on-the-fly sensitivity to scale from there, because the 1800dpi on it outperformed the 450/900/3500 settings by wide margins. You have from 1 to 10 sens then (10-100% effective DPI) in steps of 0.5, so at 1800dpi 4.5 sens you will have the same tracking speed as 810dpi, but thats just for the older deathadder, you shouldnt have to jump through many hoops for the 2013 i think.
In regards to durability, my deathadder has 10k hours on it with no issues at all, though im pretty clean (wash hands every hour or two and keep a damp cloth at desk for cleaning hands/peripherals). Ive heard a lot of stories of them failing after 3-6 months or a year, which could be a concern but i still think its a strong reccomendation because its a strong mouse and such consistent tracking (especially with higher maximum tracking speeds) is rare
performs best on black cloth

Guess i could get used to 1800 dpi after a while, i really have to try if it fits my hand. Sounds really good

You misunderstand, DPI is only a measure of sensitivity if everything is 1:1 and there is no scaling.
On-the-fly sensitivity scales it down, with 10 being 1.0x multiplier, 5 being 0.5x multiplier, etc.
You shouldnt have to do that stuff with 2013 version anyway, it's just on the 3.5g because that sensor performed much better at the native 1800dpi setting, so you would use that and then scale down instead of setting 450/900 DPI
|
Doesn't setting it different than 1x multiplier make it inaccurate? If you set windows sensitivity other than 6/11 you get skipping because of the multiplier. Although i don't know how Razer does it.
