What mouse to get that is good for gaming

[LicKWiD_IcE]

Hi man.. From experience it doesn't make a MASSIVE difference.

It also depends on how high your sensitivity is (measured in cm/360)

If your sensitivity is low you don't need a high dpi mouse.

I use 25 to 33 cm per 360 so for me 800dpi is solid.

A few tips:

Make sure mouse doesn't skip.
Some laser sensors have some sort of acceleration, negative and positive so watch out for that.
Rather have higher polling rate than DPI.
If you use low sensitivity then optical sensors are better than laser.
Most importantly make sure your hands fit the mouse properly.

I use a Steelseries Sensei Raw and a Corsair M65. These are both awesome. Look'em up.

That’s an awesome mouse... but I wouldn’t be able to us it due to my fear of spiders

In a fit of retail therapy four or five ago I bought a Logitech Performance MX - paid a crap load but boy, this mouse is fantastic - don't know if Logitech still sells it

Personally I wouldn't recommend any wireless mouse for gaming, due to input lag and having to always worry about battery power.

Have you upgraded your mouse's firmware? The older firmware versions on that mouse has quite a lot of issues.

Yeah, not really a high end FPS type gamer so can't tell actually.

However, this mouse is a hybrid - ie you can use it wired or wireless, never had battery problems (used to plug in cord to recharge at night, now I just keep a spare AA on my external charger and if battery is slow swap in about 5 seconds - including the time to left my a$$ off the chair and walk to the desk with the charger )

Good luck OP - can't really add anything more.

I have upgraded yes, but only because there was an update. Had no issues prior or after the update. My brother bought himself one after using mine, no issues either.
