Not in the way when it's years old and greased from inside but like when you can really only move it with intention. I tried to shook my Sensei and it does not rattle. Try warranty change it?I bought a Sensei a couple of months back and noticed that the mouse wheel is really loose. I saw a video with the same problem on a xai or kinzu (cant remember which) where the person picked up the mouse and shook it and it "rattled" (the wheel was rattling). I'm getting the same thing on my Sensei, it's like the wheel is loose and I can wiggle it with my finger. Anyone else who has a Sensei, is your wheel the same or is it a problem with my mouse? | ||

Resolutions have two dimensions, 1440p is four times the resolution of 720p, not double it. As such, 2880p is sixteen times 720p, although an amateur would compare them and say 2880 is four times greater than 720 and thus 2880p must be four times greater than 720p. 16x vs 4x, big difference. It makes me sad to see average people so uninformed about resolutions through no fault of their own :/ Also i wouldnt consider 843dpi to be low. Maybe mid range. I use 270-450 for sc2 at 1920x1080 and my hand barely moves at all compared to the low sensitivities common in first person shooters for example. | ||

I understand that the consensus is that a wireless mouse will never live up to the responsiveness of a wired one, but I'm wondering what comes the closest! So can anyone recommend wireless mice that - have the least possible amount of input delay - and have decent battery life? (first-hand experiences preferred) Things such as weight or price or cpi values are not that big of a concern. | ||

I know a lot of people hate them with a passon, but I have to move around a lot with a notebook, and the constant packing and unpacking of my wired mouse broke its cord in roughly 6 months, so I've decided to get a wireless one - which I'd still like to use to play BW here and there.

I ask because high end wireless mice are expensive. Since BW runs at such a low resolution, a really nice mouse isn't necessary to be able to play it, any old logitech or MS wireless mouse would probably do the trick. Probably only going to support a 125htz polling rate, but if you want to go better, you are going to have to drop some cash. Razer has two mice that support dual wireless and wired modes. The Orochi is the cheaper of the two at about $80 MSRP but only supports up to 125htz polling rate in wireless mode. The Mamba is $130 for the 2012 edition, but I believe it does support 1000htz polling in wireless mode, also has pretty good battery life. Logitech G700 is $100, and does also support 1000htz polling rate. Cyborg R.A.T 9 also supports 1000htz polling rate, and comes in at $150. If your first concern is for input delay, then your only real options are the three that support 1000htz polling rate. Most gamers really don't like wireless, so unfortunately there's a limited selection. | ||

Another option would be to get a super cheap but decent wired mouse and just be ready with replacements if and when they do break. The Coolermaster Storm Xornet comes to mind for me, but that is more personal as it is claw grip and im not sure of its US avalibility etc. If you can get one they should be like $25. | ||

(That's the only one where I'm serious enough to notice a bad mouse anyway) Does polling rate has a bigger importance in wireless mouse? My last wired mice were all running at 125Hz, and I considered that perfectly responsive. Also, why does a lower resolution help with such an issue as responsiveness? One would think it actually enhances the minor inconsistencies. I tried a Logitech M305 the other day, and it felt pretty sluggish to me. I usually don't care what does a mouse look like, but the RAT9 is disgusting :D I'll check out the others you mentioned, thanks. @Cyro - I actually did come across a cheap offer for a Xornet, but I've read mixed reviews about it (then again, it's hard to find good reviews online of mice that are not of the Logitech-Razer-Steelseries-Microsoft group) - have you actually used one? (I use some kind of a fingertip grip, so that shape isnt an issue) | ||

1. What's your grip style? Mainly palm, sometimes I switch to Claw  .2. What's your sensitivity? I'd say medium (~2400dpi). 3. What's your maximum budget? 50€, less would be nice though :D. 4. Do you want additional buttons? I need 2 additional buttons (Mouse4+Mouse5), more would be nice but I don't really care. 5. What games do you play? Starcraft 2; Why else am I on this board? 6. Other relevant information: Wireless, Driverless would be nice, since I'm going to use it on linux aswell and mouse drivers are always a pain. | ||

Polling rate is the responsiveness of the mouse, the reason I mentioned it is because you mentioned that was the most important thing you were looking at. If 125htz is responsive enough for you, and you're only playing BW, honestly pretty much any mouse would do. Most mice you buy in the store these days are going to be between 500-1000 DPI, which should be more than enough for BW. If you are looking for something more high end, the ones I mentioned are for the most part probably your only options unfortunately.

I have a cooler master xornet mouse that I am quite pleased with, but using it on my steelseries Qck mini it has seriously bad jitter, like if I move the mouse in a straight line I can visibly see it shaking left and right and it actually makes it difficult even highlighting text in windows. I'm using the lowest DPI, which is like 500 and polling rate of 1000hz and the latest firmware, which supposedly reduces angle snapping. Does anyone have this mouse? What mouse pad do you recommend? Are hard pads better than cloth? Thanks for any info. | ||

If I may quote myself for ease: Yes, thanks I read that. However >50€ is not an option for me. I'm also not looking for a high end gaming mouse. I only need something decent, solid mouse. Aren't there any good cost-effecient wireless mice someone can recommend? | ||

I currently have a Logitech G700 wireless mouse, The DPI is fantastic and I bought it originally for counter strike: source, Being an avid FPS player I have always found that a bit of weight to be very handy, But recently I have started playing Starcraft 2, and the weight from my mouse get a little tiring after a while, I had a razer imperator at one point but found it -too- light. And I'm getting tired of my mouse's battery running low during a longer game. If i keep it plugged in the entire time, the chord starts to get in the way because it is a thick plastic and pressed directly against the pad. So my question is, What would be a good mouse that has a bit of weight but not heavy like my current mouse, and corded with good DPI, I have looked over the logitech site and the razer site, and havent noticed anything that pops out to me, any advice you could give would be fantastic! PS: Also nothing over like 150$ | ||

Though im an advocate of palm grip and love big mice | ||

Aren't there any good cost-effecient wireless mice someone can recommend? Not really, no. If you want a high end mouse with decent DPI and 1 m/s report rate, it's going to be expensive. If that's out of your price range, you are either going to have to settle for something like a Logitech M510 or M515, which has Logitech's "Darkfield" tracking system, which they claim can get up to 5700 DPI. Unfortunately it's a laser sensor so you have all the issues which go along with that, and don't expect to get perfect tracking--it's not really designed as a gaming mouse. Honestly, with your budget, you would be way better off going wired.
