Wow thanks for the ebay heads-up! Damn, now I'm really tempted to order it from there, despite it being about $10 more than the supposed US MSRP...
Is prediction really all that bad a thing to have?

Just as I was about to buy this thing I find out there's prediction issues...I guess it's good thing but I was pretty excited to buy it .

Now I have no idea what to new mouse to buy...might just buy another copy of the salmosa though I want something even more lighter and has buttons that are easier to press.

Btw you guys were right about the dpi thing.

Yeah the 1600 DPI looks emulated. You should only get the mico for the 400 or 800 setting only. There are a few mice that try to emulate a higher DPI just like that and it's garbage.

I've been using it for a few days on 800 dpi. It's flawless. It really is...everything about it is just perfect. But it is true that on 1600 i cant get it to move only 1 pixel up when trying to draw straight lines but its irrelevant to me.

is there some kind of misunderstanding amongst people. people saying they can't get their sensitivities high enough while using 3200dpi and shit.

i know that if i used 3200dpi my mouse would be uncontrollable. i'd cover the distance of all my monitors with about 5mm of mouse movement.

It works great on 800 but 1600 has prediction? Ugh... I wanted to buy it specifically with the intention on using it at 1600. I can't think of another mouse that is shaped like this and has 1600+ dpi + is as light as this mouse. I'd say LMO but I've read it's only at like 500 dpi or so...

Any recommendations people?

Looks really small.

The mouse on the far right is SO GOOD. I can't emphasize how good that mouse is. It's somewhat old and the DPI isn't the best, but the build quality is amazing. It fits perfectly into my hand.

Sadly it broke after about 5~6 years, and I'm now using a scope node.

Yeah I checked that out. The issue I have with the salmosa is that the buttons are too hard to press. If they were easier to press I'd just get a new salmosa since this one is pretty old. I assume the asian edition probably has similar feeling buttons...

Any other reports on the Zowie EC2? Does it have prediction issues as well? That looks like a decent alternative based on Ghostface_Killa's nice review.

so the problem seems to be that they emulated 1600dpi instead of giving it real 1600dpi?

thats a shame as the shape is perfectly what i would want and the buttons sound amazing, currently using a salmosa and was looking to but this mico due to a few anoyances with the shape and the buttons of the salmosa...but i guess not...will keep looking into it though T_T it looks like they really did get the perfect shape too lol

Yeah this is quite sad if it is true. I also recall the kinzu having the same issues on 1600 dpi. That would make the mico basically a logitech G1...stuck on 800 dpi.

Its disappointing they haven't been able to push this further. Hasn't it been years since they came out with the G3? Even it had something like 2000 dpi, although I recall reading it had some issues with low malfunction speed.

The emulated 1600 dpi is not true. Or you have got a bugged mouse. Look at the last comments in this video review of the zowie mico:

I asked the guy if he could look for tracking issues such as emulated dpi, he tested it and had no such problems, could move the mouse without skipping on any dpi.

I just got my Mico, how do I test if the 1600 dpi is emulated or not since that's the DPI I use.

Try to move the mouse very slowly straight left and right. See if you can move the mouse exaxtly 1 pixel to the right and to the left. If instead of moving just one pixel to the side, the mouse moves exactly 2 pixels every time, then 1 pixel was just skipped and it means that the dpi is not real.

mouse looks interesting, i remember seeing this thread awhile ago but never got to posting.
personally, I use a logitech g9x (6000 dpi) and by looking at the comparison to the mx518, the g9x seems very similar in size to mico would be interesting to see how it feels mb I will see sum1 w/ it @ mlg anaheim ^^.

That's so disappointing. I wanted to get a mico to upgrade from my salmosa. I might just end up buying the abyssus or if i don't like that i'll buy like 2-3 more salmosas bulk.

you guys are forgetting the most telling way to test mouse smootheness.

open MS paint, draw circles with the 1x1 pixel brush.
Zerg definitely does have responses to FFs pre-hive tech. Infestors, baneling drops, burrowed roaches, and mutas are all options
