So. I was extremely surprised by how good this mouse is. As a few of you know, I had the TteSports Black Element. Since Thermaltake likesto steal, I had been looking for a new mouse.

I was in my local computer stote and saw this. The Etekcity scroll x1

It was $24.99. I was suspiceous so I looked it up. 4.5 stars on amazon and 4 eggs on newegg. I looked up the specs and it seemed legit so I grabbed it. After messing around for a couple hours, I've decided that it is the best mouse I have ever owned. I've owned a lot of mice. A lot. The only thing it doesn't do better than the Black element is DPI which is only 2400. Aside from that, this thing is great.

If you're looking for a mouse on a budget, this thing punches way above it's price point.

You missed out on the $8 Shark in the other mouse threads. I have a crate coming in soon full of them.

Pubstomping is a whole different strategic discussion, however, and usually just becomes an exploration of the ethics of dumpstering randos.

Tah Dah.  Closest thing you'll find to Logitech's excellent twitch mouse, the G9.  (Which now sells for ~500 dollars)

 

As for DPI, you don't really need more than ~1k for games - even at the highest levels of competition.  The DPI "race" is just a silly number that they keep increasing in the hopes of attracting customers who don't know much about mice.  Same thing with the latest acceleration values (they've long exceeded anything remotely near human capacity).

 

All that being said, glad that you've found a mouse that you like.

Mostly needed the high DPI so I could set it for HAWKEN then turn the sinsitivity way down cause HAWKEN has weird mouse acceleration.

I find that a Razer Imperator 2012 set at 900 DPI is the best for me. 1000 DPI and above is too sensitive for me, since I have bad accuracy. Cost me about $64 (AUD) when I got it last year.

I always try to find mice that have independant scroll and cursor speeds.

I find the mouse is better when it has high sensitivity and the game is set low. That's something a guy on a CS team showed me way back in the day.

I have a deathadder.

I got it as it has a side mouse button.

Its not the most comfortable.

The software updating annoys me

 

I think i'd rather something different.

hehehe^, how about a Taipan or an Imperator? Taipan is left/right hand mouse (ambidextrous), Imperator comes in either dedicated left or right hand design (ergonomic). They are both very similar, the only main difference is that one is ambidextrous while the other is ergonomic. Oh and Taipan has green lights while Imperator has blue lights.

The difference between theory and practice is smaller in theory than it is in practice.
