Basically: 1) DPI, the higher DPI, the more precise it can be in it's actions. 2) Weight. Many mice got a cartridge allowing you to adjust the weight, giving you more control. 3) Palm Position. It needs to fit nicely in your hand, and not have your fingers drag along the mouse pad, or give you a hard time clicking buttons. | ||

I for one like to drag my thumb and pinky on the pad, gives me more precision in FPS. I know a lot of people prefer the extra stability as well. I'm using a death adder btw, or my Logitech g9. | ||

1) DPI, the higher DPI, the more precise it can be in it's actions. That's not exactly how it works. DPI - CPI more correctly - is just how many times the sensor reports movement per inch, effectively just the sensitivity of the sensor. In most games a certain amount is necessary to avoid pixel skipping - e.g. in CS you don't want to turn you mouse sensitivity above ~5 in game, I think, so you need a mouse with high enough CPI that you can reach your desired sensitivity without going above 5. The number is not that high, in most games it might be around 400-500, certainly not close to the 5000 CPI advertised on some mice. Starcraft is a little bit different, as it doesn't have a sensitivity control of its own, it just adjusts your windows sensitivity. To avoid pixel skipping, all sensitivity adjustments must be made by adjusting the CPI of the mouse with the in-game sensitivity left at 51%-54%. In this case it is quite useful to have a mouse with a wide range of CPI settings so that you can finely adjust your sensitivity without running into pixel skipping. | ||

It's got a weird shape because it's ambidextrous, but you get used to it and then it's nice. | ||
