I am looking for a small, preferrably tiny claw-grip style mouse. I'm currently using the Razer Salmosa (asian edition) which is perfect except that it only has 1800 dpi which is too slow for me. I'm thinking 3000 dpi or higher would suffice. Any ideas? | ||

If you want a really small mouse, some pros use the logitech mini-wireless line. EDIT: You might fancy the Razer Orochi, too. | ||

I have a Razer abyssus, and it can go up to 3500 DPI No correction, and it's pretty small, although, maybe not quite as small as the "asian" edition for the Salmosa. Still basically the same mouse though | ||

Any ideas? 1800dpi is too slow? Are you using 6/11 with acceleration off? I have a 45x40cm mousemat, and i play fine at 400dpi. It is considered low, but 1800 feels so fast to me that it is impossible to micro at a decent level, or hit anything accuratly in a very short amount of time On the subject of what mouse to buy, take a look at the Coolermaster Storm Spawn, it has the best mouse sensor avalible atm and it has a "weird" claw grip shape that i have heard works really well | ||

I have both the Abyssus and the Salmosa, and in my opinion Abyssus is the exact same except with 3500 DPI and a more comfortable design and less noisy clicking. Definitely would recommend.

My mouse moves 0.5 inches when I move my cursor from the left side of the screen to the right side of my 21" 1080p monitor, and yes it's perfectly possible to click rapidly and accurately like this. Btw if you play at like 300 APM with 450DPI for 5 hours or so a day, say hi to carpal tunnel. | ||

It's all about getting used to the higher DPIs. At first you'll notice some loss of accuracy, but in a day or two of playing should enhance your mousing skills. And you avoid CTS, too. | ||

Getting used to high DPI doesnt help anything, you still cant click shit. @400dpi, i can click on my nexus, then mineral patch 1, then nexus, then patch 2, then nexus, then patch 3, through all 8 patches in less than 2-3 seconds Since switching from 3.2k dpi to 400 for starcraft, i went from lvl 14 to 24 on the marine split challenge custom map and fixed all the wrist issues i had from using mouse. When i play for a very long time i use 800dpi, but i am much faster and more accurate with 400 | ||

Intuitively it seems that having a smaller range of motion higher dpis should limit wrist injuries, not exacerbate them. | ||

And yeah, 1800 dpi on 6/10 is too slow for me even in BW with it's tiny resolution, not to mention other applications. | ||

Intuitively it seems that having a smaller range of motion higher dpis should limit wrist injuries, not exacerbate them. Moving like 0.1 inches back and forth and back and forth a lot builds up a lot of tension in the wrist, playing at far lower sens allows you to throw your hand/arm around a lot and you are moving with your arm as well instead of 100% focus on that 1 wrist area | ||

This means no acceleration (something you wont find in any laser mouse). It's damn cheap too, $35 canadian. Damnit, its £32 here... exchange rates gah | ||

Cons: Middle mouse button is a tad stuff Software support for non-Windows users is almost nonexistent The sensor does exhibit a small amount of unswitchable-offable acceleration, but it's hardly noticeable for most people, unless you're looking for it, which I did. I probably shouldn't have! It's not cheap. | ||

Anyone know of a good reason to pick one over the other? Aim Here: thanks, but I already own a G9 and it just wasn't for me. | ||

It was a tad too small for my big hands though. But if you're looking for a nice, small mouse, it does fine. Do note that it comes with a short cable. One of the reasons I decided to switch when I bought a new rig (and thus finally retiring my old notebook) | ||
