i like my g3.

me2, no probs at all compared to my diamondback I used before. no lowsens tho...

I personally hate laser mice because I use to use really low sensitivity.

The worst mouse sensor performance issue you can encounter in FPS gaming is malfunctioning from fast movement. It's worse than not having enough CPI and skipping pixels, it's worse than negative acceleration, it's worse than a bit of cursor jitter or a high lift-off distance.

The reason why it is bad is that you can not adapt to high speed malfunctioning because you can't predict when it will happen and when it does happen it completely disrupts whatever action you were trying to execute, to add insult to injury the times where you must move the mouse the fastest tend to be times where you are under threat from opponents and can least afford to have your mouse stop tracking or flip to the floor.

Laser mice are overwhelmingly more likely to skip than modern LED optical mice are. Since their advantage of higher CPI doesn't make up for the shortcomings of skipping or risk of skipping, lasers suck for many of middle and lower sensitivity players who may make fast movements. They also cost more. If you don't make fast mouse movements and you wont be devastated if you ever lose a game because your mouse flipped out at the wrong moment it's probably fine to use a laser mouse that you like.

i think antigen answered your question

Lasr mice cant track at the speed, most people need mice to track at

question answered, close thread.

Top speed and lack of surface compatability, try to read other threads (use search). There are plenty of threads about laser mice.

If you use a low sensitivity, then yes, that's exactly why people hate laser mice. However, if you use a medium sensitivity like me (22.5cm/360) then laser mice should still be fine for you. I've never skipped my g3 or my g9 on my allsop raindrop xl.

OK, then I'm playing in UT3 on high sensitivity (14 cm/360)? My mouse is Logitech MX 510 (800 cpi).


BTW: why 'cpi', not 'dpi'?

Ok, so you're playing UT3 with a sensitivity of 14cm/360 @ 800 dpi (or cpi if you prefer). Good for you.

I don't know why people argue over cpi vs. dpi. In my opinion they're the same damn thing because I know what they're talking about because there's no real fundamental difference.

you also tend to pay more without getting any more out of the mouse.

read mousescore article.

The Lachesis sensor is the best laser sensor ive ever test...

not as good as infrared sensor (maybe better then the diamondback v1...) but verry close...

LASERZ PEW PEW!!1
It does it's job, if I move it the cursor moves!
