Well i play sc2 on the Razer Orochi in wired mode and i play comfortably at a dpi of 2500 -- i couldnt imagine playing at a little more than half that speed when i get annoyed when the wire unplugs and it auto-sets to 2000 | ||

I think it's preference more than anything. | ||

It does however have quality issues, my scroll wheel is already starting to squeak, im not sure if it's fixable or not and the mouse feet are very tiny so i can't imagine they will last to long. There's nothing like WD40 spray to fix squeaking mousewheels.  Mine started to squeak after a week, sprayed some WD40 and it's still good, 2 months later. Btw, I haven't encountered any issue with the wheel accuracy so far. | ||

I guess I'll have to wait some more and stick to my cheap ass mouse. edit : apparently it's a G1 shaped mouse and as I speak there's no plan by logitech to sell this baby outside China and Korea T_T; How lucky are we, logitech perfectly understood our needs and gives us these great 2kg 15 cm wide and a trillion useless buttons mice  | ||

I've been using the Zowie Mico for a week now on 400dpi as my mini optical replacement. Very good, I just wish it had the exact same profile as the mini optical (what I was expecting). Its nice to have UHMW feet though, instead of the cheap ones that wear out in a day. Other than that. The tactile feel is better. The optical sensor seems better/smoother. My only other qualm is that it doesn't come in a different color, I can has WHITE zowie mico plz? | ||

http://zsense.net/zowie-mico-vs-logitech-mini.html looks like it's pretty much a newer/shinier mini optical. Definitely going to get one | ||

I feels really smooth and precise and fits my style of grip perfectly (I've had a mini optical for 6 years). I can understand ppl saying the buttons are a little stiff but it doesn't really bother me as you get used to it pretty quicky. I will update regarding the wheel. I play on 1280*720 6/11 53% 800 dpi and I feel it's almost the perfect setting. I've never felt so accurate with my in-game mouse movements. One negative point though : it's a little expensive for us europeans (39€ + around 9€ for shipment) | ||

- does scroll wheel really that bad that it breaks after a month of usage? o_O - does this mouse work well with i7 CPU? Because I read on overclockers that it lags the system and I got i7 920.. - any idea how this mouse gonna work on goliathus control mousepad? Because i got abyssus and it is very smooth, but abyssus got quite large pads while mico got very small dots. - anyone tried both abyssus and mico and what is better? What about mico and cm storm spawn comparison? ty! | ||

And i don't need flagship mice, as well as something like Xai which has acceleration. | ||

Any updates from the more recent zowie owners over whether they have been getting the mouse wheel problems and build quality issues that the earlier zowie owners have been getting? Those complaints from before were pretty bad and i want to know if the mouse is good now. I just received it. It's super comfortable, awesome buttons, very good tracking and precision, no acceration. Just perfect size for me. Now scroll wheel started squeak after 5 mins of usage and now I use mouse 1 day and scroll wheel doing many diferent sound and it's just horrible, i don't think it's going to last more than a month lol. Also this mouse is quite unusable for me because appearantly with Asus(?) motherboards this mouse causes horrible slow motion problems in games. If this mouse had wheel of abyssus and didn't cause that slow motion effect in games it would be best mouse ever for SC2. | ||

It's really my favorite mouse right now for SC2 since I was always comfortable using the Logitech Mini Optical and this has almost the identical feel and shape. | ||
