Mouse Poll

Some new mice are coming out with DPI as high as 3200. Do you think mouse DPI really makes that much difference in game performance? :blink:

Where's the option for...

Huh? What? Who cares...just play.

I don't get into all that stuff. A mouse is a mouse. If I can shoot the other guy before me, thats all that matters. if he shoots me first, better luck next time.

I just wish the hit boxes in CS:S didn't lag so damn much...grr...there's nothing worse than knowing you are behind a wall and you are shot and killed from a spot you were just at 3 seconds ago.

No comment, they can have my trackball when they pry it from my cold, dead hands.

Scratch that, they'll have to cut my hands off at the wrist.

I voted yes on this one. Although i sure as heck wouldn't be able to function with that much DPI, i do find that having both the ability to use a high DPI setting as well as having the ability to vary the DPI setting in game/app is of huge benefit to me.

It really depends on the game you play, I think.
I like to have higher DPi when in a close combat situation, so I can be able to turn faster. On the other hand, if I switch to sniper I set it as low as possible to have a more steady aim. But I don't see a real need for 3200 DPI. My MX518 works fine for me :geek:

Ergonomics are more important that DPI for me. A comfortable mouse, as long as it's not a ball mouse, is all I need.

Foe · 09-June-06, 10:13 AM

The longer I have the mouse I have now, the less I like it. My previous mouse was the best I have ever had, and I miss it. There is a new one coming to me for revieww, and I am looking forward to trying out something new.

I have found out that a good, and responsive mouse it vital to gameplay. Whatever that maybe for the individual though is all a matter of taste.

My trackball was discontinued by Logitech (TrackMan Marble FX Trackball), and now I scour ebay to pick up additional ones should mine go out. I haven't found anything even close to as perfect for my hand. My only gripe about it (and it's a small gripe) is that occasionally a game has an option for a middle mouse button, and I don't software program one onto the trackball due to where the third button is located.

My Logitech 510 MX does wonders for me.....
