[SOLVED] Cant get used to a new mouse because of mouse feet

[zav981]

Over about a year iv'e tried many new mice but none have felt as good as the logitech g403.
The reason behind this isn't because of the shape, but because none of their glides have been fast enough that I can track properly.
All the mice iv'e tried are: Logitech G pro Wireless,
Logitech G305, Zowie ec1b, Zowie Divina s2.

The main problem is that iv'e checked and Zowie mice are supposed to have good stock mice feet and the g403 isn't known specifically for having nice feet.
Maybe I should get some hyper glides for my Divina S2 as that's the mouse iv'e liked the most apart from feet.
Unfortunately I live in South Africa so these aren't easy to get so it will be a while before I get them.

Please if anyone knows why i'm having these issues or better suggestions please let me know thanks.

I would start by experimenting with different mouse pads/surfaces.

Look at the mouse "feet". Any roughness, gummy crud, etc....?

Maybe just a quick wipe down of the mouse feet will help with the "feel".

And remember: if it works/performs better then go with that. You will indeed get accustomed to the "feel".

Yeah, I was going to say this too. What kind of surface are you using the mouse on? I have something that's similar to one of these, though mine is a discontinued model from another company...

As far as I can tell, the Razer Sphex V2 and V2 Mini are the only models currently on the market that are similar to the one I use. I can't guarantee that the material is identical, but the design looks very close from what I can gather.

These mats are basically a thin sheet of plastic that is lightly textured, but provides very low friction to mouse feet. I can tap the side of my mouse at one end of the mat, and it will glide across smoothly. If you are after low friction, you would probably like one of these.

Being a thin sheet of plastic (0.5mm thick, going by the product description), the material is bendable. As such, it has no feet to hold it place, but rather there's a sticky surface covering the back. Supposedly, the mat can be peeled off and repositioned multiple times, though you will want to make sure the desk is clean first to keep that sticky backing in good shape. In the case of my (similar) mat, the backing has begun to lose its ability to adhere after a number of years and the surface has started to not lay completely flat, though I can't say whether or not this might be a problem with Razer's version. I'll probably be picking one up relatively soon as a replacement, since I definitely prefer this low-friction surface compared to any cloth mats I've tried.

Unfortunately, the Sphex V2 only comes in one design, so you don't have much choice in how it looks. On the positive side, it's rather inexpensive for a Razer product. It should be inexpensive, since it's just a thin sheet of polycarbonate plastic that undoubtedly costs very little to make, but you never know with Razer, or a lot of gaming brands, for that matter. : D There are some other hard plastic mouse mats, including some from Razer, though they are thicker, cost more, and I can't say how their surfaces compare.

I use a Cougar 600M. Its used straight on my desktop, no mouse pad. It has changeable dpi. I can literally move the mouse two inchs and go from one side of one monitor completely across both screens to the other side of the second monitor. Or set it so low that if I had the room, I would take 2 feet of desk to move the mouse 6 inches on screen.

And that's not taking into consideration the changeable sensitivity of the optical.

Most of the better mice will have options for adjustments, some even include removable weights to change the feel of the mouse.

Thanks for your opinion but i'm not entirely sure how this is relevant to my post

Is it also a possibility that I just haven't given the mouse feet enough time to break in properly?
