I'm no expert in mice so I'm gonna relay what I've been told: before considering any mouse, make sure it has a good sensor and switches.

>make sure the mouse switches have good durability (omron brand is generally a good sign).
remember, pmw-3320 bad (rebranded AM010), mercury sensor bad (found in logitech g203). I wouldn't say bad as in unusable, just that they don't hold a candle to the above.

I wouldn't say it's bad, but it's not flawless. There are acceleration issues past 2000DPI due to Logitech firmware fuckery (iirc) and I think it has some amount of jitter. Angled lines specifically look really fucked as compared to my WMO 1.1a in the mspaint test, both clocked in at 400dpi 1000hz. Maybe I just got a bad copy or something.

I'm not arguing that wireless can exactly replicate a wired connection and have no statistical downsides I am just saying on newer wireless mice especially from logitech the consensus seems to be that latency is completely unnoticeable. Making the argument that the raw statistics and numbers no matter how negligible they are are reason enough to never use a wired mice is like making the argument since ps/2 has less latency than usb everyone should throw away their usb mice and switch to ps/2 ones.

After going strong with my Steelseries Sensei for the past 8 years (I must be the highest time-use user of it), and getting 2 free replacements due to its board power supply dieing, I decided today to switch.
What did I switch to? The Rival 310. I'm surprised the industry moved away from Laser mice, back in my day it was a fact laser mice were the best, but we all knew the sensor still had a slightly negative accel downwards when sweeping horizontal. All mice sold today are optical mice. The mice thesedays look a bit cheap compared to my old Sensei. Sensei had a braided cord, LED picture on the bottom, and you were able to change dpi, liftoff distance (like .5mm to 4mm), poll rate, and a few other things, all on the LED of the mouse. Also a metal plate. Now its just a plastic high grip plate. Honestly it does look somewhat okay, but still. The cords aren't braided nowadays either. Not doing sensei again, I have forearm pain fatigue problems (carpal tunnel onset it feels like), so I'm doing the Rival to see if my right hand will sit better.

It doesn't really matter. At 400 dpi with a flawless sensor your mouse won't be holding you back anymore. Aside from some games that are programmed like shit that have pixel skipping at low DPI such as Overwatch, it's not gonna be a problem. Strictly speaking you are correct that it is more "precise" but if "precise" means "better" is up to personal preference. 400 dpi is still one of the most common values at the highest level of CS and Quake. The only reason why the WMO even went out of style is because the faggot leagues ban custom drivers (which had been used forever to achieve 1000hz on WMOs and Intellimouse Explorers) and now everyone just uses WMO shape clones like Zowies.

Higher DPI does not mean better, that is just pure marketing retardation. Most sensors start accelerating and jittering beyond 2000 DPI since these sensors are usually not meant to handle this to begin with, the manufacturers just do this via firmware. 400 DPI is adequate, 800 is more than you can make use of.
With modern mice you haven't been buying things at manufacturing cost for a long time, nowadays brands and shape are really the only unique things that companies have. The rest is the same internals, a PMW3310, 3360, 3366 or 3389 or some built in house sensor that will perform on par with a 3310 or 3360 and some Omron or Huano switches. That's it. All there is is shape, brand and gimmicks. The rest is the same shit.

I got a logitech 305 wireless.
It doesn't look gamery and cringe at all like most mice with decent specs.
Cool old school design and fits my hand well. It uses a AA battery, so switching it is easy and no charging necessary. I've used it for 9 months now and on my 4th battery. I'm quite a heavy user. Got a 4 battery pack from the store for 3 bucks and changing them takes literally 15 seconds, had 1 run out during a firefight in AP*X L*G*NDS, but the software gives messages about ~15% lower battery, so you know when you are running out.
I love it for ~50CM 360 in most games. Having no wire was a gamechanger for me and allowed me to use lower sensitivity and move my hand more to get faster flicks.
The sensor is amazing and never spazzes out when flicking etc. (had that issue with my previous razer mice).

Zowie's entire goal with FK and EC is "We cloned the WMO and IE3.0, but it's accepted in tournaments since tournaments ban WMOs and IE3.0s today"
True though, WMO is basically endgame. There isn't much that modern mice are better at.

Rechargeable batteries lose capacity and eventually die out after a set number of cycles, requiring a replacement. This happens around the time the mouse is discontinued, so you either pay a premium for the new battery, or buy a new mouse.
The wire will probably outlast the rest of the mouse unless you manhandle it.

It all depends on the game, but the reddragon helps you make use of your right thumb which does absolutely nothing at all while using a regular mouse. You could obviously use your left thumb to press the space bar and jump, it was just an example. But you could have the 1 on the mouse be an ability and 2 melee and 3 grenade. That's 3 keys that are now mapped to your right thumb and are fast and easier to press. Place your ability keys on the 6 and 5, and your use key on 4 and that's 3 more keys you don't have to look for on your keyboard. And you still have 6 more buttons for other things like map, inventory and inspecting weapons if the game you have does that too.
It works great for doom, because I just put, jump on 1, melee on 2, grenade on 3, use on 4, switch mod on 5, switch item on 6 and it works pretty good.

you're supposed to hit CTRL with the left part of your hand, not the tip of your pinky. that way you avoid bending your hand awkwardly, with the added benefit of being able to press `, Tab, or CapsLock with your pinky. unless you're using a laptop with a sunken keyboard
>Control+tab and control+shift+tab is superior
<implying
PgUp/PgDn are much comfier and quicker for scrolling than scrollwheels, which are prone to wear. so it's a good idea to bind them if you have spare buttons on your mouse. additionally, if you use the keys on your keyboard instead, you retain easy access to the nav cluster (Home, End, arrow keys), Enter, Backspace (and Shift+Backspace), and the numpad while using the mouse.
the only advantage I see to using CTRL-Tab is that you can hit Tab quicker, but it's used less frequently. If you're talking about CTRL-F, it's a moot point as you'll have to take your hand off the mouse to type anyway.

That's really not possible for my keyboard and setup. I don't know if I have large hands or a small keyboard or not though. This is a generic logitech k120 keyboard. If I tried to do what you do, I would lose out on being accurately able to press the shift key, which is a pretty important one for me.
I don't actually bend my finger either, I press down on Control with the middle of my pinky and on Shift with the tip of it.

there are cheaper alternatives though. 2 well known ones are Ducky Zero boards ($80-90) and Rosewill RK-9000V2 (~$75). they're plain as fuck though (laser-engraved ABS keycaps (DK2108 has doubleshot), no macros, limited or no backlight, no driver or gaymen software (thank god)). they do have NKRO and cherry switches, and a simple, sober look that doesn't scream gaymer. no mention of polling rate though. you can probably find even cheaper.
>>16260402
>Pretty much all available full sized mechs are hundreds of dollars and either look gay as shit, or they look like they're made for pre-teen gaymers
that's not the problem in itself. the problem is the untold amount of specifications that are never stated (e.g. keycap material, keycap profile, whether the keyboard has actual NKRO or emulates several keyboards (may break plenty of stuff like keyboard shortcuts), stabilizer type (e.g. costar, cherry, cheap wire stabilizers (awful))).

You can fix it by pulling it apart and bending the clicker metal back into place, but that fix might buy you anothet month or two before its back to acting like shit.
I bought a Corsair mouse and it seems to be okay, but the iCUE software is worse than the Logitech one and is a memory hog.

be03ed No.16262261
>>16262222 (holy fuck that's checked)
Bad sensors have acceleration and jitter, which will result in inconsistency. Good aim is reliant on muscle memory, which can only be built up by consistency. Using the same settings for every game and such.
So with a good sensor your muscle memory tells you to swipe exactly 20cm and across your mouse pad to hit the enemy, you will get very close to the enemy and will have to do micro corrections.
With a bad one, you can end up way above, below, over or under the enemy and will have to do very macro corrections, and those corrections will need corrections.
Strictly speaking you don't need a top of the line Pixart 3360 or 3389 sensor, a step below can do just fine, but nowadays good sensors are pretty cheap so there isn't too much of an excuse to not get one. There's also a fair bit of snake oil in the mouse market, I'd like to note.
Side note: Acceleration means that if you move your mouse fast, but the exact same distance as if you did it slow, you will move more pixels even if it is the same distance. Jitter means jitter, it's inconsistencies in mouse tracking.

My old shitty chink mouse stopped tracking (malfunctioned) if I flicked it too fast. That's another example of a bad sensor.
Bad sensors also have other nuisances, such as malfunctioning as previously stated, having really bad lift off (if you lift your mouse, it's best if the cursor moves as little as possible to retain horizontal movement on the same level) or just spazzing out and going really low or high even if there is little movement vertically.

Mouse precision? Uh, not really. You can do the MS paint test which is just drawing lines, circles and other such things to test for angle snapping and jitter.
You can also test for acceleration by booting up a game (check that your mouse settings are in Windows 6/11 and no pointer precision, of course) and without any in game acceleration (often game settings call it smoothing) and swipe your mouse fast across your mouse pad and bring it back slowly. If it has no acceleration it will end up at the same place.

but I did research you sperg. offer was limited, between a Tesoro Colada a Corsair K70 and that piece of shit. I wanted a barebones mechanical keyboard with NKRO and no rgb vomit gayming look, software or snowflake drivers. I was told repeatedly that Kailh wasn't so bad and Thermaltake was passable (compared to no-name brands like Dragon War or Trust) and the keyboard would last a long time so I went ahead with it. I knew it didn't have a standard bottom row and it didn't bother me. however no one mentioned:
>if you pressed keys on keyboards with NKRO hacks that it would result in alternating inputs if the keys are on different "keyboards": e.g. ALT-F1 results in ALT F1 ALT F1 ALT F1, rendering that keyboard shortcut unusable
only saw this shit mentioned after the fact in a post on Arch Linux forums complaining about not being able to switch TTYs.
>the shitty thin wire stabilizers taken straight from a cheap membrane keyboard
I didn't even think it would be so shitty it would come with those. I only found anything on that later when I saw posts of people asking where to buy compatible keycaps.
>the chatter issues
I found out by reading a few complaints about "repeated characters" or "duplicate keystrokes" on amazon (which I normally avoid due to shills and room temperature IQ reviews like "works 5 stars" or "too noisy 1 star")
Moreover you must have missed the part in my post where I said most of the relevant specs (stabilizers, bottom row, 6KRO mode, NKRO hacks, keycap materials and legend printing) are often absent from store pages, comments, manuals, and reviews (except maybe the 1 or 2 autistic sites that bother). Hell, most reputable PSU companies don't mention the platform and OEM of each PSU or the caps they use (except maybe for premium models). So tell me how the fuck are you supposed to guess this kind of stuff? shit like
