I am very happy with it so it's not a concern of whether or not I will like the salmosa, it's more a concern of whether or not the abyssus is worth it. It does have prediction naturally but you can turn it off (if you turn off "on-the-fly sensitivity"). Edit: There is no acceleration on it either. | ||

Abyssus is definitely worthed it, i think for claw/fingertip users who use more than 800 dpi, our choices are abyssus / g9x (gripless) | ||

This Zowie Mico is a perfect mouse, remember my old Logitech Mini optical. Before this i test Abyssus, G9x and Xai but now definitely play with Mico. I use it @ 800 Dpi and she perfect. Sorry for my poor English. : ) | ||

Well, I mean.. I did play around the with DPI changer to see all the pretty colours.  I honestly cannot find anything that I dislike about the mouse. Even the build quality feels superb, which is surprising, considering it came from a relatively lesser known brand. Also, it goes wonderfully well with my G-TF pad. Zowie, I'm a fan! | ||

If that is too slow, you're playing with far too high sensitivity, and will probably give yourself RSI. Just because the pros are fast, it in no way means they are playing with ridiculously high sensitivities like that. In fact there are videos of players like NaDa playing BW using the 400 DPI Mini Optical that all the BW pros use, and it looks like he actually keeps it at 1:1 (which would be best, rather than having pixel skipping). Not only do I disagree with you about the RSI (in fact I'd say that lower DPI is more likely to give RSI, I don't know why you'd say otherwise), but I also disagree that pros are not using sensitives of 1600 and higher. You to realize that DPI's sensitivity is completely dependent on the resolution being run. Starcraft Brood War runs at 640x480 resolution, so 400-800 DPI can work there. 1920x1080 is not the highest resolution people run at. I can run at 2048 x 1536, and many people run at 1920x1200. Personally, I even met someone who runs at 3200x2400.

Im a diamond level terran player and I have been using the razer copperhead for years now.. and looking for a new mouse. any good reviews/help would be much much appreciated!! thanks! The right mouse for you depends on several factors: • DPI requirements — higher sensitivity needs higher DPI. Sensitivity based off DPI scales with resolution so you need higher DPI to run programs & Operating System at a higher resolution. • Optical/laser preference • Wired/wireless preference (as far as I understand, qwireless is not significantly slower now, but still costs more, as well as costs batteries and/or recharging. • ERGONOMICS/COMFORT/GRIP-STYLE. Generally there's 2 ways of holding a mouse that people categorize... claw style and palm style. One is where your fingers are bent more so mostly the fingertips are just touching the buttons (from what I understand), and most of the palm is not touching the mouse. Palm grip is where the hand relaxes on the mouse and is more flat. I have always been amazed at how poorly these grips are described (maybe because it is more complicated than how I said it?). • Price. Pretty big limiting factor for some people, like me 3 recommendations, mostly palm-type ones, cause that's what I'm into: Myonix Naos, Logitech G500, Microsoft SideWinder X8 | ||

Personally, I even met someone who runs at 3200x2400. No pros are using anything higher than 1920x1080 (except possibly 1920x1200 but still, no horizontal change), I can tell you that much. Furthermore, the most common mouse used in GSL is G1, which is 1000 dpi, and the description of the Zowie Mico which was designed with StarTale specifically states that the players wanted 800 dpi as an option as that's what most wanted. Regarding RSI, with smaller movements you tense your wrist far more, and additionally smaller movements decrease blood-flow compared to larger less-tensed movements. | ||
