So, i posted a few pagesa go, and people told me to get the salmosa. I went ahead and asked around if any of my nerd friends had one of those, and look see, my buddy across the street has one. Tried it out, or better:looked at it and figured out that it is as big as the krait is, and therefore no option for me. I wanted a bigger mouse.

Then I visited the office of another friend the other day, and by chance noticed the mouse he's using for office purposes. Looked pretty bulky. Wide. Might be perfect for my hand. I asked him if I could borrow it to test it with SC2, he just smiled, got up from his PC and said: "Go right ahead, it's installed on this machine."

30 minutes and two won ladder games later, I went directly to amazon and ordered my new mouse, which was dirt cheap (around € 9,99), to be honest.

Comfortable shape, seems pretty accurate. My only complain is the rubber cover on top. Why???

Yeah I love how little this mouse is and pretty cheap

I'm also using the Razer Naga 17buttons. Granted, I haven't found use for all the keys yet... Bought it on special at 60$ and so far very happy ^^ (beware of Razer though, alot of bad reviews. I don't know if its only fanboys war, or if razer truly have some difficulties)

Comfortable, the side buttons aren't obtrusive, and it definitely works well overall. It's only 400 DPI but from what I've gathered that really doesn't matter as I can just turn the SC2 sens up?
Uh, I think I still don't quite get what DPI does or doesn't do.

As I have to keep Windows at 6/11 sensitivity it is a bit slow when browsing but I'm used to it, and I haven't noticed any lack of precision while gaming. Though one problem is that the side buttons feel really cheap, I saw some fix for it but I'd rather not attempt anything that's well over my head in case I somehow kill the mouse.

This mouse looks really, really good. If I didn't already have a three-button mouse with my Salmosa, I'd get this just because of the style. How's the quality of the mouse, the surfaces, and how reliable are the buttons (rattling etc.)?

Thinking of buying a Razer Spectre mouse, but at the moment I'll stay happy with my standard Sahara mouse, which is fine with me.

I use the original Microsoft sidewinder, dont get why this mouse was never liked much i fucking love it, it isnt all tiny and light. Never had a problem with the mouse skipping or jumping or doing anything weird, always has been very precise.

Also the DPI buttons on it are amazing also, they get used a few times a day switching from different games or computers.The thumb buttons are also really good, never do they accidentally get clicked and never is it hard to click them; Dont like the look of the newer Sidewinder thumb buttons.

The customizable weight is damn awsome for me too, seems im one of the few who like a heavy mouse? Added 30g(the most i could) of weight to it... Cant stand a light mouse!

Software couldve been a little better though, wouldve liked more options for DPI settings. Sidewinder is win for me though, dont think ill buy a new mouse at all until this one breaks in probably like 10 or 15 years.
.
Ive never even considered lifting my mouse up while using it, why the hell would you need to do that?

It really feels much better than the 9,71 € I paid for it (amazon.de), AND in comparison to the razer mice for 30+ euros, it seems ridiculous how much they charge for a two button+clickwheel-mouse.

looks great, the sides are rubbery with some profile for a sure grip, and they don't feel cheap either, control is goddamn precise, scroll wheel is rolling lightly but stopping right when you want it, no rolling back one step when you finish halfway between two lines, as there is no "halfway in between". my micro got better just by using this mouse (but i had some issues with my older one, read my post a few pages ago). and: no rattling. nowhere. even when you shake that thing like in some sean paul dancehall track.

in short, i am amazed of how much quality and precision you get for so little money. think if i had spent 70 euros on some high tech thing with exchangeable weights and 42 side buttons...i'd rather save some money and still improve my rather mediocre gold level gaming.

I have a kinzu and I love it because I have such small hands. I picked up my old IE 3.0 yesterday and wow it felt so huge, I can't believe I used it for so many years.

Also the kinzu feels nice with claw grip, the 3.0 did not, at least for me it didn't. Something that was new to me when I picked the kinzu up was that it is designed for both left and right handed, which I feel is more relaxing for your hand instead of using a mouse for right handed people.

But as you can see on the picture, my thumb is almost the same size as the mouse, so if you're having big hands and play palm I don't think you will like this mouse because the mouse will disappear in your hand, lol.

The problem with the kinzu is that the back of the mouse is very flat (unlike the abyssus), so i cannot really have a certrain firm mousegrip but im forced to toss it around between my fingers. i feel like the xai fits my hand a lot better and im going to be testing it soon as i get some money :D

using the abyssus right now and while its built quality is shit the grip on it feels very nice and i can control stuff with it very good!
