So here we go: + The mouse feels fantastic, much like the LMO (I have 19cm hands from middle fingertip to wrist). + Doesn't look nor feel cheap, but time will tell. + The wheel scroll is not too hard, not too soft. No issue with noise, it's totally silent (so far... EDIT: wheel started squeaking after 1 day use.) + Wheel scroll click is good, not too hard to press, not to soft. + Feet are ultra slippery on my G-TF Speed (ordered it with the mouse. Coming from a 2€ mousepad with a RX250, it's so slippery I'll need some time to adjust). - The left and right buttons are too stiff for my liking, and noisy. They require too much pressure (or I just lack strenght ;p). I always liked light, short, responsive clicks but iirc they were as stiff on the LMO so the nostalgics won't be disappointed. No issue with CPU usage due to USB polling rate (Phenom II x4 965, 785G mobo). Here's the paint prediction test if it's of any use: (note that I suck at drawing) ![[image loading]](http://tof.canardpc.com/view/ffdf43f1-92bc-4ad3-954d-27ce7013257f.jpg) Hope that helps. | ||

I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and it feels like the clicks have broken in, either that or I'm very used to them. In the beginning I wasn't able to click as fast (for what thats worth), but now I'm having no problems. | ||

You don't need mice over 400 DPI either. It's about personal preference, and hardware settings. Notice how he said "for modern displays"? If someone is getting a monitor that is 2400x1600 (3.8 Mpx), you would certainly want over 1000 DPI. Many people even run around 1200–2600 DPI for resolutions around 2 megapixels, and that is not even the high extreme, but just average people.

The scroll wheel does squeak a bit, but it's bearable. It still works fine. Gotten used to the stiff buttons, I love them now. Overall the mouse is great, I don't regret the purchase, it's easily one of the best mouse I've ever used, if not the best. With a G-TF Speed pad it's so slick. Hoping the mouse will last a bit though. Using it at 800DPI most of the time (on 1920*1080 resolution) don't see the point to go higher. Tried a Coolermaster Spawn recently, didn't really like it. It's too big. And it doesn't work as well on the G-TF Speed pad for some reason (large feet is the problem I'm guessing), it's less slippery than with no mousepad or even works better on a 2€ mousepad, go figure. | ||

I want to buy the Zowie EC1 but I'm trying to figure out if the black or white one is best for me to purchase. I used to have a Lachesis which has the razer non-stick coating so that u can play for hours without the mouse getting sweaty. I'm wondering which of the two of those mice is the one that most resembles the Lachesis. Thanks in advance. I will prob end up ordering it online without even getting to try it out. Sucks being in Canada sometimes... | ||

Those complaining about low DPI don't know anything, for an RTS you don't need high dpi, most korean sc pros use 400-800 dpi mouses You need a mouse with a comfortable easy to maneuver shape, smooth and durable feet, and smooth cursor movement. I'm really glad they kept the mini-optical shape as well, hopefully its as good as the original. I am sold if they sold this in white or silver (mini-optical colors). Edit: I wonder if Flash will be using this, considering Zowie sponsors KT. | ||

The issue isn't much to do with accuracy, but just the amount they move their hands, which is very much a personal preference Looks like more evidence of buggy/fake 1600 DPI for the Mico, in case that issue isn't yet settled. Umm. I use a VG236H monitor, 1920x1080 native, and I use a Logitech G1 which operates at 800 DPI. Maybe my monitor isn't "modern" because it's not at 3.8mpx, gee,I really don't know, but I can assure you that most SC2 players don't use the full technology that high DPI offers, or monitors that are 2400x1600 resolution for that matter. He was simply saying that 1600DPI (as its the max the Mico has) is more than enough for anyone (at least anyone who plays SC2 competitively). Arguing "personal preference" as a point is overrated. Sure, preference is an important factor, but DPI has nothing to do with preference, sensitivity does. You can use a 5000DPI capable mouse, but I really doubt you use its technology in your "preferred" sensitivity setting. The fact that he said most people who have high DPI have terrible accuracy is somewhat true in the sense that accuracy = mouse control. The smaller movement increments you need to make to move the cursor means the less room your hand has for pinpointing your mouse's cursor to the exact pixel you want it to hit. Pixels are microscopic. If you move your mouse 1 inch and the cursor travels 10 inches, what if you want to select just 1 pixel within those10 inches? It'll be difficult then, to find it, if you only have 1 inch of physical space to select that pixel. I seriously doubt anyone has the capability to operate a 5000DPI mouse at its actual maximum DPI rating with no decrease in sensitivity and be very any good at any game unless you have a ridiculous resolution that no one even uses.There's a reason why professional FPS players want to have a happy balance of aiming speed + accuracy; they actually have room to physically feel for where their mouse needs to be on the mousepad to get that 1pixel headshot. Very high sensitivity players will play with very little mouse movement, and that actually leads to bad accuracy because they have so little overall room physically on the mouspad to select a desired pixel on the screen. You can get used to it, but your accuracy is never going to be as good with lower sensitivity. Most people will never need beyond 1000DPI until resolutions become huge; they just choose to sacrifice control for speed. | ||
