Salmosa

what grip/sens do you use?

And I wouldnt recommend the salmosa b/c it has assloads of correction, to the point where I can draw a perfectly straight line across the screen in paint nearly every time. That imo is the worst thing to have wrong with a mouse (even worse than skipping and forced accel)

i move by wrist... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJZJXDxlS0M like that.

probably playign with your wrist for 11 years is the prob.. i move the whole arm.. proper playa!

i play exactly the same way as you and have done so for 9 years now. IE 3. no problems so far but i've always used medium sensitivity or low with high acceleration. yours seems to be really low. perhaps that's the problem?

hello light . what pad u use ?

I think its your arm position. Try something else, like pad more in the middle or more to the side, more to the back so your arm lays on the table as well, try a wristrest, just try a lot of different styles maybe even a new mouse.

You're probably running more into issues from resting your wrist like that on the corner of the desk than from general mouse movement. I play with wrist motions similar to that and I've never had issues.

hmm yea, maybe i should get one of those gel pillows for my wrist?

I've always found those to get in the way. I personally switched back to a decently thick Allsop Raindrop XL and have no issues. It's the glide I like with all the cushioning I'll ever need. I'd recommend you do the same.

My whole forearm rests on my QcK Heavy, acts as a nice soft but hard rest (and doesn't get cold!) for the wrist.

I'm not all that comfy playing like that, especially since I like to make just wrist and fingertip movements. Maybe if I lowered my sensitivity...

I only use fingers/wrist too, my elbow is in one corner of the pad, the mouse diagonally so I don't get much room, but I don't need it with med sens+accel.

Ah, you must be using Russian style then unless of course you're using a crap load of desk space. I've tried playing Russian style before, its ok, but I kind of prefer my standard setup. The only RSI issues I've ever had was with my keyboard wrist and I fixed that problem a long time ago.

Basically :D

Have you tried the russian style?

Russian style, made to avoid RSI!

From my experience, the only solution is to start using totally different way of moving your mouse (like using the whole arm). Changing mouse shape won't help much.

Ive got RSI in my hand too, i tend to get pain after a couple of matches, but it depends how much im concentrating on aim... As i tend to grip my mouse pretty hard..

and ive always "wrist" aimed :(

try using a wrist band to help u keep your wrist straight, or at lest help support it.

thats actually a good idea.. like boxers use

do some pushups you pansy

DIfferent way of holding the meeces / positioning your arm.

I switched to the MS3.0 while I was still young, ergonomics > you.

MS 3.0

I work at a computer desk aplenty, and need maximum comfort if I'm going to spend more than the 40-50 hours with a mouse in my hand.
I was really excited to get the death adder back in late '07, but I only wound up using it a total of about 6mo before I couldn't take it anymore.

3.0

If the video you posted in #3 is you playing, I think that you have to lift up your chair.
In that way you'll relax more the right shoulder.
Then you have to bring forward, deeper in the desk your mousepad to have your forearm completely rested on your desk surface.

Then you can try a mouse specifically designed to claw like Imperator, G9x or Xai if you like laser mices.

With optical sensor I have no suggestion other than the Razer DA 3G because of prediction: if you can live with it (I can't) I can suggest the Roccat Kova that has a shape and weight that I really like and 400, 800, 1600 or 3200 dpi (800 dpi not really usable because of some strange internal interpolation; the others sensitivity setttings are good).
