Iv had my Zowie Mico (Blue) for about 4-5months now and the mouse wheel always lights up and has always been Blue...I turned of my computer today and my mouse wheel changed colors to Red. Tried googling it and all I learned was it has something to do with DPI but, im not very knowledgeable when it comes to this stuff and wasn't sure if I should find a way to change it Blue again. Thanks in Advance! | ||

Thanks in Advance! Hold down left and right mouse buttons then use the scroll wheel to change DPI. From lowest to highest DPI... Red = 400 (accurate) Purple = 800 (accurate) Blue = 1600 (interpolated) AFAIK the MiCO always lights up even after the computer is put to sleep, something about the device not shutting off. Not sure though. | ||

Did you wash your QCK? It survives going through the washing machine and will look close to new afterwards. I always put it inside when washing things like colorful towels with a 30 C washing machine program. No idea about the mouse feet. My cloth pads pretty much never ate up mouse feet. | ||

There is a big difference between the trace of my hand and this trace. And there more a month, i remove the scotch tape i place on the mousefeet to save them and on now my mousepad is white. Mine gets kinda weird and whitens a little if i use it heavily, but i take a cloth, wet it in hot water, squeeze almost all of it out and then keep it next to me and rub it over some peripherals and mousepad etc a couple times a day. That makes mouse+keyboard much more pleasant to use and keeps my qck+ at "normal" look and performance, i never got any issues with it nearly as bad as what you are describing, so you might just need to wash it more frequently (even lightly) | ||

Perhaps look around for replacement mouse feet? The way you describe it, there's something wrong with the feet on your mouse. I'd guess it's not the pad scratching them because it's made out of cloth, they are just disintegrating by themselves for some reason? I've only seen hard pads eat mouse feet. | ||

I think the rigid mousepad have less friction compared to a cloth mousepad , no ? | ||

 I don't know how you can explain that. It's true there is a lot less friction and the mouse glides a lot better, but it still destroyed the mouse feet, and cloth didn't do that. | ||

I also own a Mico Really love both, just for browsing the back button is pretty pleasant. I have purchased 3 Micos for 1 for backup and 1 as a gift to a friend. However my first one still hasn't ever had a problem. | ||

I'm using a cm storm mouse pad with no problems. The zowie mouse pad looks amazing. I'm loving my mico. The shape is the best. I don't have to worry about hardware acceleration, and I haven't been able to recreate the pixel jumping problem in paint on 800 dpi or 1600 dpi (I use 800 dpi). I like the crispness of the clicks of the buttons; I don't think they're too hard to press, and I really love the feel of the rubber scroll wheel. | ||

Now I'm using the Abyssus, and it doesn't have the same problem. Could the problem still be with overclocking? Sounds plausible. I've thought my webcam was dc'ing sometimes because I'm oc'ing with a board that's not really meant for it. That being said, other people have complained about the mico usb issue: Where the cord attaches to the mouse if the cord bends when moving the mouse the mouse disconnects and then reconnects. There is no visible damage on the cable so internally the cable must have gotten frayed while using the mouse. Looks like it could be a defect with the mouse since another reviewer has the same issue. [1] [1] http://www.amazon.com/Zowie-MICO-MiCO-Gaming-Mouse/product-reviews/B00518C8CY | ||

The first one had to be returned because it got disconnected often randomly after three or so months of use, I went to the store and used the warranty, so they gave me another one new, Now it has been about 6 months and now its failing in the same way. It gets disconnected and I think is something with the USB connector, or something with the union of the cable and the mouse itself. Any comments about this? Any recommendations for a mouse with relatively same size and shape? I had tried the Abysssus and It didn't felt as good as the Mico. Thanks everyone! UPDATE I could not keep using the mico, so I bought a logitech g100s. Today, after ~3 weeks of no use, I connected the mico and seems to work fine. I will give it a try on the ladder and see what happens. | ||
