abyssus 2014
corsair m40
ninox aurora (preorder still hasn't arrived and bst disappeared again lol)
roccat kone pure military

may be some more i'm missing will edit if i remember any~

currently using the g302... shape is gross tbh but i'm good with it and feels better than g100s and malfunctions less (weird cause same sensor) *_* maybe its the 1000hz?

i had hopes for the aurora but the mouse1/mouse2 issues, mwheel, and the hugeass cable makes me wanna throw it away when i receive it or give it away to someone who has nothing lol.

i ordered a kinzu v2 non pro edition because i saw that someone bought one and it came with a different lens so i'm hoping it wont malfunction like the v2 pro but it's probably just me throwing away more money :D i didn't list it because it will be coming to me in january ^^

i'm hoping mionix castor will have a good sensor and be 80g~ although the quality of my naos & avior feel kinda meh.. and i really wanted to try out the finalmouse 2015 because on paper it would be my dream mouse but after someone said the bottom of the mouse catches on the mousepad & the mouse1/mouse2 actuation is different i'm not going to throw away $67 to an unknown company.

anyone wanna get together and fund a new mouse bst style and not fail miserably hit me up ;)

Seeing as you're such a collector, you should really buy the cm storm alcor too.

Zowie should be releasing new models soon judging by this email i received

Hello Sam,

The only thing I can tell you is to keep looking at our line, as we will
release new mouses in the next months and hopefully one suits you!

Comments: mouse enquiry!

Hey I love how you make your mice, simple and effective. My only problem is that all of your mice are pretty much the same shape apart from the Mico. I have bought both the FK and the Mico in my quest to replace my very old razer diamondback (still searching). The FK shape doesnt suit with the wide rear which is suited for palm grip. The mico has a nice shape but is far too small and lacking in side buttons/overall build quality. I'd love if you released a bigger mico with more features or a new mouse with this kind of shape. Any plans of doing this? I'm still searching for a diamondback replacement, there's a lot of people out there also looking for the perfect fingertip mouse which in my head should be so simple to make but is not available.

fyi I'm a CS player.

Thanks!

sidenote: am currently using the g302 if anyone was wondering, have also bought both g100s & aurora ///ALSO HAVE A PROBLEM BUYING MICE ERRY DAY///

Isn't it spelled mice and not mouses even when it comes to gaming gear and not the animal? If so, the marketing manager is a bit lost.

No, mouses is "prefered" for the digital age pointing device. Some say that this is because mice reminds people of rodents too much, others will stick to mice because there hasn't been an official statement which one is correct.

compute mice has much more hits on google than computer mouses, "experts" claim it's mouses yet they often use mice in their speeches.

There we go, both statements are correct then.

synapse make the mouse feel awful so you have to use it at 1800dpi without drivers which i just refuse to do =( the mouse itself feels great though

1. glue all the mice/mouses/whatever together
2. plug them all in computer
3. move a hard mousepad underneath and compare sensors' responses and input lag
4. ???
5. profit

Amasing collection man. Nothing wrong with buying every mice you can if you have the money for it.

Coming from the old WMO. I am using the g100s lately and i like it. Tho i removed the metal plate weight that was inside because it was wierdly placed at the bottom and the weight repartition was not harmonized. I also use the LOD tape trick as someone suggested me. I wonder why the manufacturer is not just obturating the sensor lens a bit more so that the default LOD is lower.

i also noticed the sensor is wierdly placed, at the bottom so the sensitivity needs to be increased quite a lot. I would prefer a mouse with a sensor far at the top, it would allow the use of a lower sensitivity and the mouse aim would be more stable on the horizontal axis and require less DPI. And on top of that, having the sensor on the far top would decrease the LOD. I have yet to find any drawback for puting a sensor at the top.

The rear/bottom shape is a bit too high.

All in all the mouse is great, it feels extremly responsive and the mouse buttons/switch are so good. The shape is also nice but could be better. I will grab a g302 just cuz i can't help it.

I was concidering the CM Storm Spawn because i need something for my little finger otherwise i have this problem : http://www.esreality.com/post/2074954/softwar...se-sensor/ or the logitech g9x.

Any advice? What do you think of the CM Storm Spawn and the g9x if you ever tried it?

Because if it was shoved up further (depth) its DPI would be even lower than it already is( 1000 dpi is closer to 900 on most of my pads ), also to make sure you get as much PCS as possible on the most mousepads possible.
EDIT: I would also prefer a mouse with the sensor hole aligned close to where my finger tips rest.
EDIT: I'm feeling a little dumb at the moment, so you meant doing an in-house tape trick (obstruction of sensor hole) like zowie does, that could also lead to similar issues to changing the height of the sensor from the mousepad, though usually on black mousepads it doesn't make much of a difference.

im not sure about puting the sensor anywhere but at the center on the X axis, what does PCS means?

<< Comment #28 @ 04:32 CST, 29 December 2014 >>

By

horf - Reply to #25

I was talking about the z-axis to reduce lift off
PCS = perfect control speed, max speed you can move your arm without the mouse acting weird or not tracking.

EDIT: errh it depends on perspective, I'm looking at the mouse from above.

He could donate them to Fatal1ty because he had some kind of gaming camp for gamers in the past.

This could make for a nice reality tv show (or should I say... ESReality TV? :D).

Rent out a nice gaming house somewhere, have a 1on1 duel game with a very big competitive scene and invite 16 random players (no-names). Tell them that they have one year in the house to work together to become semi/professional gamers (Everyone's goal is to attend different events over the year and at least place top 4 or top 8). Have special guest appearances of cool dudes like Cypher or Rapha drop in to give the kids a lesson or two. If a player drops out, they will be fined for wasting a spot. If a player does not perform, they will be fined. etc etc.

I could see this working quite easily in S. Korea for Starcraft, but Starcraft blows because it is not Quake.
