 |
|
Well, basically my mouse got crushed and it was a razer death adder. I just need a good replacement. I was just going to buy another one for like 50 bucks (and that's with shipping) off of newegg, but i wanted to see what you guys could suggest that's cheaper and if its a quality mouse.

Don't fall for the high DPI gimmick. Hero what are you on about, "that mouse is kind of slow" seriously are you kidding me? You heighten your sensitivity IN GAME and use a low DPI on FPS games and on anything else it doesn't even matter.
G400 is great but the wiring is faulty so it may start cutting off after a while.
I have a Steelseries Xai and it's excellent. Don't get that shit mouse you just linked.

I was. It's not hard to google Steelseries Xai. Seriously, what?
G500 is a bad idea if you ever plan on replacing your mouse.

>high dpi is a gimmick
Konr must be high. I use fairly high dpi for shooters and I do well. I cannot have slow turning movement. In fact I use 2800dpi I believe for most guns and around 1000 for snipers.

I don't think you understand.. anything. Firstly you should be using a low DPI with a higher sensitivity ingame so it's the same speed (because high DPI is a bad thing unless you're using eyefinity/whatever and even then 2000 should be the cap you use it at) and secondly it's all preference but there's barely anyone in the world that plays FPS games to a VERY good standard that uses a ridiculously high DPI and doesn't change ingame settings to lower the sensitivity. High sensitivity is stupid.

I am somewhat confused about the difference between DPI and sensitivity, are they not the same thing?
