My personal preference is that it can move left and right really fast without tripping out on its self. Although i have big hands, i find it really hard to micro with such a big mouse... Sorry for repeating it then. I couldn't find any. Where they focusing on low price? Anyway, if it matters, my hand is as long from wrist to middle finger as a G5, and a little bit wider discounting fingers. | ||

For a bigger mouse, razers are totally awesome. I have a mini op and deathadder, but prefer the mini op for sc because it fits my small hands well | ||

And about the hand size/mouse thing, I have a 23 cms hand from the palm up to the top of the middle finger, and I use a Gm-03003 Genius (Mini Optical mouse) of 8.5 cms from tail to head... so... comfort > "quality" imho. And BTW, right now I think that it´s better to spend 40 bucks in a great mouse pad instead of a mouse... these things can improve your game greatly (and fix the imprecisions/sliding speed of the mouse btw, awesome thing). | ||

Weird, its only 800 dpi. Does that not matter in gaming? Here are some size comparisons. + Show Spoiler + • Windows® 98, 2000, Me, XP • USB port or PS/2 port Macintosh PC • Mac OS® 10.1.2 or greater • USB port Technical Specifications • Tracking Resolution: 800 dpi • Image Processing: 5.8 megapixels/second • Max. Acceleration: 15 G • Max. Speed: 40 inches/second (depending on surface) • USB Data Format: 12 bits/axis • USB Report Rate: 125 reports/second • Sleep Mode: Disabled • Weight without cord: 80 grams Gaming Specifications * • Dynamic Coefficient of Friction —μ (k): 0.13 • Static Coefficient of Friction —μ (s): 0.23 • Buttons: rated to 3 million clicks • Feet: rated to 250 kilometers * Measured on a wood-veneer surface Package Contents • Logitech® G1 Optical Mouse • Installation guide • USB-to-PS/2 adapter • Three-year warranty PS- I know when Laser mouse (not to be confused with optical infrared mice) first came out they were said to be not as good for gaming (aside from the weight and other things). Has the tech advanced enough to the point where laser are better than opti now or will it ever? | ||

Maybe, but so far the surfaces I've been using have been very matte, so accuracy while moving has been a minor problem. The main issue is really how easy it is to press buttons and to double-click. The mighty mouse is rather hard to press more than 3 times a second without feeling a little sore. | ||

If I've understood correctly this is important mainly in FPS, where you want to move quickly both at big scales, like turning around super fast, but still want the accuracy to snipe out things at few pixels resolutions. RTS is mouse movement on roughly the same scale all the time, from movement across the screen, to targeting single units. Not as wide range as in FPS. So honestly I think most mice are so good that it doesnt matter for SC in pure technical capabilities, and that you should choose mainly from weight, shape and reliability. And price. again: im not an expert in this, and im just guessing around. | ||

So true, i hate my death adder, feels damn uncomfortable to play sc with. Gonna get a salmosa soon | ||

Depending on how you play with your mouse, I'd don't pick up my mouse and mostly move it with my fingers i have a short heavy mouse that has a higher dpi. If you like to pick up the mouse alot a liter mouse set to a lower dpi assuming you move your arm alot etc. it's just all comfort perference. A good optical mouse over a good lazer mouse thou mostly. | ||

With lighter ones I feel like I'm going all over the place. Small, heavy mice are where its at. I use some Logitech wireless laptop mouse, and i love it. I know wireless is a huge mistake most of the time because of bad connections and the mouse suddenly turning off, but it's never been a problem for me. It's nice not having a cord that gets in the way. | ||

These are my recommendations: small ambi mice: logitech miniop(tons reccomends it as pros use), razer krait, razer salmosa ergonomic right hand: deathadder others to consider: logitech g9, ms sidewinder Try them out or ake a look at what you want in a mouse and pick. | ||

A good contender would obviously be the Razer line-up. After that, it's just a matter of which shape you would prefer. I would not recommend anything Microsoft, Kesington, or any other brand. There are a few "great" mice out there that can compete with or even exceed the Logitechs / Razers, but for a premium in pricing. | ||

Basically, if you move the mouse past "perfect control" speed, then you'll experience neg accel. If you move the mouse past malfunction speed, then anything can happen. Whether this affects you, of course depends on your gameplay style. In general, RTS players don't need to move the mouse as fast because they play with higher sensitivity. Counter-Strike players tend to play with lower sensitivity, so they need a mouse with higher perfect control. In my experience (having used many of the mice in the test linked above), I need about 1.5m/s perfect control. p.s. Salmosa is optical. | ||

The untweaked version kinda sucks, you *need* to change bottom pads(?) and remove weight. I also use diffrent cord (from MX310) and have it go vertical from the mouse (kinda like pro's have), and it is Totally Awesome! But it depends on your hand size and personal preference (i have small hands), when choosing mouse most important is how well it fits your hand, and it's overal quality. Specs are less important. And don't buy expensive mouses (for gaming) like G9 - it's a waste of money. | ||

In FPS games, I got a lot better by using better mice.. but not SC. One thing that does help in SC is if you have a good mouse pad.. I went from shit mouse pad to steel series qck+ and I think it helped me a little. The main issue is the buttons for me, as the Mighty Mouse doesn't have distinct buttons, and the button it has is hard to press repeatedly. It does differentiate between right and left click, but that happens under the mouse structure. | ||

You can lower the DPI for SC:BW, and you will need the high DPI for SC2 (because of the screen resolution increase from 640x480 to let say 1280x1024(standard 19" LCD), so you don't lose precision and keep the same speed). Razer mice are very good, Logitech also. This is true- most of the recommendations are for sc bw. If you want a mouse that will also be good for sc2... well who knows what you'll need. | ||

Both of these problems occur when you move the mouse faster than a given threshold, depending on the sensor. Look here: http://www.esreality.com/?a=longpost&id=1265679&page=21 This article is a really good, or at least an interesting, read for anyone looking to buy a mouse, even if you're not the most hardcore gamer - It showcases some interesting facts, like how current laser technology actually generally gives worse performance than optical, and how newer models aren't always an improvement over older ones. As for my personal pick, I used a MX510 for over 5 years, but sadly the left mousebutton started jamming sometime last year (it would register only roughly 1 in 3 clicks), so I was left looking for a new one. Since I liked my old one a fair bit and I felt it fit my hand pretty well, I looked to buy the exact same mouse again, but sadly it had already been phased out, so I had to settle with the next closest thing, which happend to be the MX518 :p. | ||

RTS: mini optical FPS: IME 3.0 As far as people talking about needing a different mouse for Sc2, that's only if you're planning on playing on a higher resolution. I'm planning on sticking with 640x480, so I'm not worried about sensitivity problems or anything during the transition. Wc3 allows you to set your resolution as well and when I played RoC I used the same resolution and it was fine. | ||

I had a mx518 before, which i also liked (sometimes i miss the extra buttons, but i now use it at my laptop) but the mx518 was to heavy and after 3 years the mouse feet are used up and i can't klick as fast with it as i can with the new razer. I have the razer since 1 month or so, and although i didn't really have the time to do more than 20games or so, i think i got 10 apm + on average in comparison to the logitech. But the quality of logitech mice is way better than razer mice. I don't think i can use the salmosa as long as the mx518 which will probably live some more years. | ||

1. fatality gaming mouse - CRAP for sc. the left click is good, and it has a rapid fire button, so its excellent for CS, but right click is crap and its way to slow and heavy to move. no good for sc. 2. mx518 - OK but still big and heavy. better for web browsing i think 3. razor mice - quite good, i have tried the 'krait' - its slightly uncomfortable but otherwise very good. 4. microsoft mouse - very light, came with keyboard for about $30. i loved it, except it had poor resolution (fine for SC, which is 640x480, but no good for desktop 1600x1200) and it sometimes skipped around. Most microsoft mice are very good for sc. don't get wireless: batteries add weight (adds inertia, slowing your accelleration and reaction time) and the wireless signal can cut out at any time - maybe in a crutial part of the game! | ||

They've already hit the peak of mouse tracking performance and with new mice allowing for adjustable hz on the mouse itself (instead of on the OS level), you're not going to improve much more. I'd probably buy for handshape/# of buttons more than anything else. | ||

I was using the Death Adder which has the same accuracy, just not as small and light. I have big hands, so I really like this mouse as well. Although the software drivers on the Death Adder make it more tweakable, which some people may prefer. The Salmosa just has on board switches for the settings and doesn't use software drivers. There is not as many settings to choose from as the software drivers. I also found these mice perform differently on Macs & PC's. | ||

The Copperhead is my preference for comfort and ease of use but I had to ship it back to Razer for repairs, (Seriously some nice people working there, repaired and shipped back at no cost to me =P ) so for the time being I'm using the Lachesis, and while it's 4000 DPI compared to the Copperhead's 2000 DPI, it feels less accurate and is more prone to "slipping" off the screen...although the term "crazy fast" does it no justice. | ||

Better mouse feet However, the G1 is harder to find in North America. You'll only find them on ebay sellers from Asia. The Razer Salmosa has replaced my G1 (it is readily available from Newegg).

I definitely like the one Logitech one with the adjustable weights and onboard sensitivity adjustment. That one was pretty cool, though I think I'm gonna pick up a Razer mouse should this one ever unfortunately bite the dust. Find one that you like the feel of. Personally, I like them a bit more weighty, but that's just me. | ||

Different grips will change which kind of mouse you are comfortable with. For example most people, in general, have their entire palm touching the mouse. Whereas some only touch the mouse with the fingertips. I like this writeup by razor. http://www2.razerzone.com/MouseGuide/html/palmgrip.php | ||

- dpi is -mostly- bullshit, so don't look for a mouse with 5.000 dpi, any relatively new mouse will have enough dpi, especially for sc - i recommend the microsoft wheel mouse optical but its really a matter of preference - i wouldn't recommend the logitech mini, i have it and the border around the buttons gets in the way, i got used to it and you might too though, i stopped using it because the MS WMO felt much better for me | ||

With no acceleration, something like 1200dpi means you have enough sensitivity to mouse the whole screen in a square on your mousepad about 1cm^2. That's like the size of a fingernail. DPI seems like megapixels... a gimmick number, largely. | ||
