Interesting shape and a great price too. I might consider it depending on reviews.

In order to change the DPI, you just hold down mouse1 and mouse2 simultaneously while scrolling the wheel. This allows you to change the DPI rather quickly and best of all; there’s no excess buttons on the mouse.

They actually went over to the Startale house and measured the player's hands and filmed their movements. I don't know, but what's been uniquely measured for the God of War must be good for everyone, so I'm getting one, right along a Celeritas from Caseking

I just did some calculations: a 400 DPI mouse at BW's 640x480 resolution makes the mouse pointer move with the same speed as a 1200 DPI mouse on a 1920 pixel wide screen, or 1050 DPI for 1680 pixel, or 800 DPI for 1280 pixel. So a 1600 DPI mouse will mean a higher sensitivity than that NaDa BW example.

Lifting up and relocating on your mousepad is extremely easy, despite the mouse not having any edges or ergonomic curves. This is due to it's weight, it is extremely light. I can't really define what my old kitchen scale says, but the marker is way below the 75g line. Zowie talks about 68g, and that sounds right.
The grip is phenomenal; I know there are multiple types of polymers that manufacturers use for computer peripherals, but I don't know too much about that, so I just hope it is the higher quality one which does not start to glare after using it for a few weeks.
I don't know which sensor is built in there, but I can't see any prediction or acceleration. Dislocating myself like Quasi Modo, I can confirm the lift-off-distance to be 2mm. Zowie talks about a speed of 1,27m/s, but I don't quite know how to measure that - can anyone recommend a program for that?
I've had mice with buttons activating by just barely touching them, but not the Zowie, it's buttons require a reasonable medium amount of pressure to activate, which is perfectly fine with me. The rubber-like scrollwheel gives good grip and sits tight, no shaking to the left or right whatsoever. It's easy to press, giving rather less feedback, but still nicely noticebale.
Until now, I always used blank 80g/m2 paper as mousepad (try it, it's awesome!), and just switched to an NR-F1 mousepad, so this is a bit new to me, but it glides like no other of my mice on it, probably due to its low weight. I can't compare to other gaming mice's gliding capabilities; never really paid attention to the gliders, simply because the shape of every gaming mouse from the last decade disappointed me which caused me to ignore them, lol. So I don't really know how to call this type of glider, it just looks standard to me
There is no software, we don't need one. Press left+right mouse button and scroll the wheel up to lower the dpi, scroll down to raise it in three steps (400dpi-800dpi-1600dpi). The scrollbutton changes colours accordingly, which doesn't annoy me while playing because my finger is in front of it, anyway.
Palmgrip is difficult because it is so small. I have a medium hand by western standards, and with a palmgrip, my fingertips hang over at the front. I'm using a mixture of a palm- and fingertipgrip, which caused me to have problems with many mice already, but it works surprisingly well with the Mico.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to play yesterday, but at some point this weekend I will throw in a couple of hours of a SC2-session to see what it's like in a real gaming condition. I'm confident.

Shape is good, sensor is good, wire is good, scroll is good, clicks are good.

You don't lose accuracy with high dpi and low sens/window speed. I just got in a Roccat Kova Plus today, and previously I was using a Razer Salmosa which I used for 4 years. The Salmosa had 1800 dpi and I was maxing the sensitivity + windows speed and it still wasn't fast enough. The Kova I have at 3200 dpi which imo could be even higher.

I've been doing testing and I've come to the conclusion that DPI is basically the accuracy of the mouse, and as a result it brings a natural speed. I tested 400 DPI compared to 3200 DPI under the same windows speed + sensitivity settings and the 3200 was obviously much faster. However, if I wanted to bring the 400 up to the speed of the 3200..because the 400 was too slow...I would have to increase the sensitivity + windows speed drastically. As a result the accuracy was terrible. Basically glitched across the screen as opposed to smoothly moving across. I could barely even select single marines. However, if you use 3200 dpi and reduce the windows speed + sensitivity settings, you get the same overall in game speed but you gain good accuracy. Basically it was the same speed but I could easily select my unit. Though I couldn't fully reduce the sensitivity, I still had to have it up just a bit.

What's the point? Point being the combo of very high DPI and low sensitivity allows you to have high speed AND high accuracy.

Sure, you 1600 may be sufficient for some people, but that doesn't mean it's necessarily ideal or good. If you want it fast you will lose accuracy, however you won't lose the accuracy with high DPI.

I hope my testing illustrates why high dpi is really beneficial for sc2 which revolves around mice with high speed and high accuracy.

This mouse is an extremely good mouse.

From the reviews:

Impeccable lift off distance
Very clicky switches
Light/durable cord
Scroll wheel isn't bugged
Shape is fingertip grip + claw + small-handed palm
Great old-school feet
No prediction
Centred sensor

Looks like an amazing mouse.

1) DPI stands for Dots per Inch, or in more relevant terms, Pixels per inch. Zero to do with accuracy.
2) The reason why increasing sensitivity + windows speed reduces accuracy is because Windows doesn't interpolate movement, and does not extrapolate movement. You should never change windows sensitivity from 6/11. For every notch away from that, you will lose 0.5 pixels of movement per pixel of movement interpreted by your mouse
Solution:
Leave windows sensitivity at 6/11
Put sensitivity settings at <halfway
Put DPI settings to actual settings - how many pixels you want your cursor to travel per inch of real movement.

I tried that but the mouse now was too slow at 1600...I had to raise the sensitivity and windows speed and SC2 speed for it to catch up. Also though, how is accuracy not related to DPI? I don't get your statement there. DPI = dots per inch. More pixels/dots per inch = being able to have more places in a single inch of screen to move. Being able to select more pixels in an inch = more accurate...how is this not wrong?

If you can find me a way to get a very accurate and very high speed set-up with 1600 dpi that would be awesome because I really love the shape of this mouse. However in all my tests it's either too slow or not sensitive enough.

the accuracy[1] of a measurement system is the degree of closeness of measurements of a quantity to that quantity's actual (true) value.

On June 15 2011 07:12 ryan1894 wrote:


Obviously you have no idea what accuracy means.

Let me refer to this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accuracy_and_precision



Where the actual value is actual distance travelled on surface x DPI.
You are not meant to tweak sensitivity settings. You are not meant to tweak windows mouse settings.
Sensitivity settings should ALWAYS be set at halfway. Windows mouse settings should ALWAYS be set at the 6th notch.
DPI should be tweaked to compensate.

Increasing DPI does not increase accuracy. Depending on your windows sensitivity settings and mouse settings, changing DPI will either reduce accuracy or increase it.

1) Increasing windows mouse settings past the 6th notch will result in skipping each 1/2 a pixel. Thus the 11th notch will result in loss in 2.5 pixels of precision, essentially meaning you won't hit every even pixel.
2) Increasing sensitivity settings will result in the same
3) leaving them at the middle-most setting will result in 1:1 movement, thus adjusting DPI will actually adjust sensitivity, as DPI IS SENSITIVITY.

This will result in 100% accuracy times DPI.

So it won't be for another couple of weeks it seems.

Its the closest we've got to 100% atm.

Also it looks like you can't draw spirals lol, and also looks like you're not attempting to draw straight lines, but wavey lines...and I think your windows sensitivity is not 6/11 - each jump at 1600 looks like 2-4 pixels apart...

Ofc I attempt to draw wavey lines. The prediction makes them appear straight.

Windows sens is 6/11, the 2 pixel jump is the weird behaviour I was talking about.

It doesn't have prediction, or has prediction mild enough not to be noticed when he drew the circle/spirals in that image they uploaded.

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.

1600 DPI means you move 1.2 inches to move the mouse cursor from the far left of your screen to the far right at 1920x1080. 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.

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.

The biggest thing to help RSI would be to use an ergonomic mouse. Mice that are ambidextrous are not as ergonomic, especially smaller mice like the Mico (at least for medium to large hands), or older mice like the G1.

People can use a G1 if they want to play SC2 at lower resolution, fine. Just because some professionals do it doesn't mean it's the best choice. Maybe they play in 1080, but then their sensitivity preference would just be low. Not everyone (I would say not even a majority) likes low sensitivity, and 800-1000 DPI does not cover them.

I doubt you have any proof (as opposed to just an indication) of what you say about G1's use in GSL among ALL players. Even if it was true, it does not mean much, since technically if 52 people each had their own model of mouse, but 3 had G1s, that would make G1s the most common, even though they consist of less than 6%. To prove a point about DPI, one should take a look at the average max DPI of mice, and/or the average DPI used for the user.

They are not normal full range muscle movements, and as such can restrict blood flow to those muscles. These muscles are very fatigued after working at a computer, and need blood flow for their supply of oxygen. Over time, these muscles can degenerate into a state of permanent fatigue, and are in continual pain. Tendons are stretched because of these tight muscles and cause pain propagation into the hands and fingers.

To add, if you are using high sensitivities you are putting quite considerable more force to grip the mouse, because you have to be so accurate moving the house so little you have to grip quite hard, so added on with moving the mouse less and promoting less bloodflow you are putting alot of stress on your fingers and your wrist. Building blocks of many hand RSI's.

Proof? Every time they introduce a player before a match in GSL you can see their mouse, and it's very often a G1. I didn't say EVERY player uses them, I said it was the most common - which it clearly, observably is. I'm watching Code-S so far and every player bar fruitdealer so far is using a G1 (TOP, Genius and Virus). This thread shows what I mean. Also I think a lot of the reports of MX300s are likely misidentified G1s (MX300 is 400 dpi fyi).

That's not proof. When I said ALL GSL I meant over all divisions and.or seasons. GSL open, Code A, code B, and code S, etc. have many players, and I would say is unlikely to gauge the quantity of a certain mouse. If you want to say out of top 40 korean GSL players, G1 is the most common mouse, then that's fine, but the wording you used was very poor.
Andd I heard MX series mice are all 800 DPI.

In fact I even went to take the time to look at that tread linked in more depth (originally I didn't want to waste my time, and I still don't know why I did just now). I counted all players mentioned (not just GSL) for what seemed to be the most common mice.
• 8 or 9 were G1s
• 9 or 10 (or possibly 11) deathadders.
• 7 or 8 G9/G9x, a mouse with pretty much the highest max DPI around.
You can MAYBE (I still don't think it's provable) that G1 is the most common, but overall mice similar to the G1 and/or low-DPI mice are in a considerable minority, which I think says A LOT more than just that one mouse is common (especially the fact that it's just in one tournament [series]).

My main point is it's a flawed argument to make or infer a claim like "because a low-DPI mouse is common, the majority of mice are at a low DPI". If you look at the overall list of mice used, the majority have a high or standard max DPI of around 1600-5600 (and Mico cannot seem to do 1600).

To people that own this mouse, are the buttons breaking in? I would use it at 800 DPI so the emulated 1600 DPI wouldn't be an issue, but I'm worried that I wouldn't get used to the stiffness of the buttons.

I just got one but instantly decided to try and return it (I hope they will allow me). The mouse is simply too small. There's no way to rest your hand on it like you can on the Logitech G1 (which I've been using for years and years).

My mousewheel squeaks when I'm scrolling up (up only; down is fine). Anyone else get this? Any suggestions? It gets annoying

Other than that, how do you like it?

Nope, mine doesn't make any squeaking sound.

It's very nice. I love the size, and I know some people said they found the buttons a little stiff but I actually like the clickiness. Haven't noticed any tracking issues either, and I use 1600dpi for playing SC2. And it slides much more smoothly than my old mouse (admittedly a cheap logitech one).

Damn, so I got unlucky. Wonder if there's any way to introduce WD40 to the scrollwheel! Haha.

mine was also squeaking, I solved this problem with wd40
btw. what tool do you need to open the bottomscrew? I tried with cross screwdriver but it didn't work, seems to be something different.

Well, I think I have to pay UK VAT on items shipped from the EU which is another 20% on top of the retail price. The main issue is that Customs detains the parcel until you pay which takes ages.

The only thing i can see which might annoy people is the scroll it has no feedback or click

Does somebody who did already get the mouse use it with one of the Steelseries QCK mousepads? I need to know if it works with the mico.

Does anyone know where I can find it in stock? Everywhere I've looked it has been sold out or no available yet.

It's going to be on newegg soon.

How big is this mouse compared to the Abyssus and Salmosa Asian edition? I may just getting whichever is smaller between the abyssus and salmosa ae considering the reports about stiff clicks.
