EPTEither your resolution has to be small or your cursor will be slow as hell. At 800 dpi this mouse doesn't skip pixels but on 1600, it does. I was going to get this mouse but after confirming that the mouse does skip pixels @ 800 dpi, I chose the Razer Abyssus instead. Comfort and quality wise, this mouse is just like the LMO so former broodwar players will get the exact same feel. I just wish it didn't skip at 1600 dpi.

I really hate using other mice, which is a testament to how nice the design of the LMO was. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/r2RvF.jpg) I thought i was imagining a pixel skip every time I was boxing units rapidly. Mico now relegated to office work mouse. Hopefully the Zowie AM won't disappoint. | ||

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 bought mine in September and I still have no problem with the scrollwheel. One thing to consider though : you absolutely need a mousepad for this mouse (a cheap cloth mousepad does the trick). On any other surface it will behave very weirdly. I had a small bug once when my pointer was all shaky after I had left my comp turned on for a long time but never happened again. It's the first "gaming" mouse I've ever had (I was using a LMO before) and it's really really accurate compared to a cheap logitech mice. You definitely feel the difference. | ||

If you like small, light weighted mice, you should consider the Mico. Im using it @ 800dpi and have experienced no problems of any kind so far. My resolution is 1680x1050. | ||

Coming from a R.A.T. 7 this thing is amazing for daily computer use and SC2. I do however prefer the IM 1.1a, so I may be switching to a Zowie AM soon, if I figure out how to get ride of those ugly red colors all over it. *Seriously* The stiff buttons scream quality Zowie let Star Tale pick out it out so for sc2 its awesome. It might be a little different at first.. but so is everything new. I'm kind of sad the AM will not be using click click cause its awesome. Pros *- Affordable - Super Light - Extremely High Quality Tactile Click - No Drivers! Cons - Scroll Wheel * just dropped my res to 1080 and 800dpi | ||

Hopefully the Zowie AM won't disappoint. looks like you're not the only one: http://cdn.overclock.net/d/d2/d2493a96_vbattach223162.png from: http://www.overclock.net/t/1084929/my-zowie-mico-experience I heard the mouse wheel scroll is fixed in the latest edition, but this tracking bug is absolutely a deal breaker. can anyone else confirm this as affecting all zowie-mico? or maybe this is something that happens only on a few rare mal-functioned ones. Too bad I was really looking forward to a mini-optical like mouse, but this tracking bug is putting a dead stop to me purchasing it for now. I don't know how anyone thinking about buying can ignore this issue until it is sorted out. | ||

It's the fault of the PixArt sensor. yeh its the sensor. the zowie am has some flaws with the buttons overlapping atm but the sensor is a better one then most on the market (potentially) but it has a lower perfect control speed at the 1150 step which is i heard 2.7 as apposed to the 3+ for the other 2 so maybe ill review it here since ppl refuse to go to overclocked.net... | ||
