But can you Cry sis?
sorry about that...
 
Thats great for sensitivity... For you guys that say 800 dpi is great for me, i am sure that is. The goal of making this more sensitive is simply for gamers. If it takes x amount of time to move your mouse across your pad, then it is safe to say it will take even less time with a more sensitive mouse. But will 1 ms or 2 ms even make that big of a difference... try it. Every advantage you can get while gaming is worth it, as long as your not cheating lol.

You need at least a decent mouse if you're going to play any FPS shooter or RTS at a level higher than casual, anything competitive requires more than an office mouse.

The difference is highly noticeable, once you need to do head shots across the map with the fastest response time possible, or when you need to give 10 orders to your units in 3 seconds.

I loled at this and the fact that my first thought was, "I own that mouse...wait that's not a G5!"

An MS Intellimouse is fine for just about anything 😀

It's less to do with speed, I think, and more of sensitivity at larger screens. I used to be one of those "it's not the tool you use, it's how good you are", but now that I game on two different machines, I can tell there's a difference. On one machine, with 1800DPI, I've got the sensitivity in some games doubled or tripled the standard. Then on my razer I have upstairs (diamondback, I think - I can't remember), I leave it on the standard sensitivity or even half what's given. The thing is isn't how fast - i.e. one both machines, it's the same speed; if I move 2 inches on the mouse pod, I've gone at least 360deg in most FPS's I play.

But what's noticeable - say I'm sniping on the pc that I've got 1800DPI - I'll find that distance shooting can suffer. I can snap to target quick enough, but sometimes the target lies between points. I.e. I do slight left, and I'm over right shoulder. I nudge right to make a headshot, and the reticule skips past the head over left shoulder. The lack of DPI is a lack of sensitivity - at far distances on high res games, this means a lack of pixel perfect precision. Same shot on my 3600DPI (or whatever it is) mouse, and smooth as butter. Same range, same weapon, but now I can nudge pixel by pixel, instead of skipping. So I can make that headshot without having to physically move my character left or right.
 
re: above post, sorry about that horrible english. Wow, that was horrible. Many spelling errors; there's an extra "is", "one" should be "on", and that's Mouse PAD, not Pod. Geh.
English hates on me today I guess.
 
The mouse looks quite nice and 'Razer' is a fairly reliable brand, although the "adjustable buttons" gimmick seems rather iffy.

"Attention" is universally recognized as a significant human need, but it tends to get rather pethatic if it is this desperate. Shut the hell up already.
