for those of you wondering about DPI: http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=2
X = horizontal resolution (number of pixels)
Y = inches you must move to go from slightly beyond the left side of the map to slightly beyond the right side
(X pixels)/(Y inches of mouse movement) = upper limit of useful DPI
So, for sc2, if you are running at 1680x1050 (the highest resolution I have for SC2) and you have a ridiculously high sensitivity such that you can go from the left to the right side of your screen in 1 inch, the maximum useful DPI for your mouse is 1680.
If you have a more reasonable mouse sensitivity (like, you can move from the left to the right side of the screen in the space of 4 inches, which is like half the size of a typical mousepad) then the maximum useful mouse DPI is 420.

I have the G500, but haven't used much of anything else so I can't compare. The only problem, and it's a major one, is that it's really uncomfortable for position the pinky. I use a semi-claw grip and I just can't get used to how I place my pinky.

I got the Razer DeathAdder fairly recently and so far I'm loving it. I previously had the Logitech GX3 and that was alright as well, although the shape of the mouse may be unappealing to a lot of players. I don't think one needs to spend as much as I did for the DeathAdder though, it was just a present I got =).

ive had my logitech mx518 for about 3 years now and love it. I bought it for when i was playing 1.6 competitively but works in sc1/sc2 just fine.

Fail poll is fail, why not add like 14 different mouses instead of 2
|
Razor Naga baby! It's got the freaking number keys on the side of the mouse, i find that much more comfortable than reaching on the keyboard!!!!

You do know no mouse you buy is going to make you a god at the game right?
use one thats comfortable, there is no "best gaming mouse"

Yea it's a great mouse but many people these days have 22+ inch resolution monitors and 800dpi doesn't cut it anymore.

True, very true, didn't think about that. We still use these old school monitors lol.

I have a digital scale and can provide the following weight information. I have found the weights listed online are unreliable. I even e-mailed razer technical support to find the weight of my salmosa mini and they were incorrect. Perhaps they include the cord in the weight. All of these weights are from an Ohaus Scout high grade scale. The cords are all held up about 10 inches out from the mouse in a mouse bungee.
Logitech Mini Optical: 71 grams
Salmosa mini (asia pro edition): 55.5 grams
Logitech MX 510 with weight removed: 97 grams
Logitech G500 with weight cartridge removed: 108 grams
Does anyone have an accurate weight for the regular Salmosa and Steelseries Kinzu? Please only reply if you have weighed them on a scale yourself and removed the cord weight as best as possible. As stated above the manufacturer's weight claims are unreliable.

Has anyone tried the Madcatz RAT5 or RAT 7 for SC2 ???
Do you think it will do good for Sc2 or its just for FPS ?

I'd argue the mouse that's comfortable is the best gaming mouse. For me it's one and the same. Mice with low sensitivity or DPI on large screens like the monitor I have feel like they're straining my hand.

I really want to try it because that pinky rest looks seriously awesome.

I do have an mx518 however my hand for some reason feels uncomfortable in it if I hold it for too long...
or maybe it's just me.
Otherwise I find the mouse great~

I have a Microsoft 3.0, was gonna buy a new one.
If u put MS3.0 mouse on max speed, it moves at 2 pixels/update, and even at fastest speed its too slow.
That being said, any1 know a small smooth mouse wich is faster than the MS 3.0?
Or a way to increase mouse speed beyond the windows settings (Regedit fix does not work)?

Ive used Intellimouse, razer mice, logitech mice, random mice
And logitech mice are a clear winner in terms of quality.
However, there are only really 2 important factors in choosing a mouse. Quality and comfort. If you can find a logitech that fits how you hold/use your mouse, it will always be better than a Microsoft/Razer/Steelseries.

I use a logitech G5, its awsome imo except one thing, the rubbery bit where your thumb goes is getting worn out dropping off :-( so much for quality yo.
|
mx518 is like the good version of the G5
|
razor copperhead. Best mouse ive ever used.
