Razer Deathadder 3500.

So something TERRIBLE has happened to my Razer Deathadder 3500dpi...

It became to slow. The mouse still works flawlessly but it became to slow for me. All the settings in the driver are maxed out, sensitivity all the way up dpi all the way up and so on. and the mouse is to slow for me now.

(NOTE: Changing the mouse sensitivity passed 50% through windows ruins the mouses pointing accuracy and integrity if the mouse is supplied with drivers).

So i just picked up the Logitech G700. This mouse has it all, all the way down to the 8 programmable keys! 5700dpi 3g etc... ALL THE GLORY! Now i can go faster than i did with my Razer deathadder! Time to train myself with this and maybe someday i can max out this mouses sensitivity just as i did with my Razer.

Review coming soon (if there is not already one).
 
no, the bottom (next to sensor) the there is a button that overrides the software and maxes the dpi. i have had it happen a few times where it was slow after waking from sleep but pressing that sorts it out for me.

yes i have.
 
lol so now ya got an extra mouse lol I still need to upgrade mine using a 6-7 y.o. Microsoft Intelli-mouse
 
Wait, what? You had your Windows set at 1:1 sensitivity with 3.5k dpi and it was too slow? What kind of monster are you?

well... i guess a big enough one to know i wanted to get a bigger effect out of my FPS games

i started noticing that i was reaching the peak of my mouse when i was able to control it darn near perfectly at the highest the mouse had to offer. as soon i was able to perfectly control the mouse i was hungry for more. i want to get faster and faster with my FPS games and i think 5700dpi will fit that for the time being

Higher the sense the crappier my aim gets.

all it takes is practice. its all hand eye coordination, the longer you do it the better and faster you will get. some people it takes a little longer. i guess i was blessed with a fast hand eye coordination.

little tip > Martial arts helps with hand eye

Have you tried replugging the mouse while in windows?

Also when u open the driver software does it say what firmware version the mouse has?

I had a similar problem a while ago and it was where it had installed itself twice. The software wasn't picking it up correctly and so didn't change the polling rate etc (also didn't show the firmware version in software as it didn't seem to be communicating to the mouse). But when I unplugged it in windows and plugged it in again it picked up again.

Think I had to go into device manager and remove all the mouse devices before replugging it in just to make sure the driver was installed properly.

I only use my deathadder at 1800dpi

as I leave windows sens on default of 6/11

im aware of all the problems the deathadder has. also it was driver 3.02 which is the latest for it. also i like playing REALLY high because i dont have to move the mouse really far to do a full turn

I'd honestly argue that it has very little to do with hand eye co-ordination. It's more so personal preference. You'll be hard pressed finding competitive gamers that use over 3k DPI, as most gamers use the setting in game to tweak it above that.
 
I use an 8 year old mouse. Works nicely, but what I like is that it fits the shape of my palm perfectly, so its never difficult to use. Low dpi, but you get used to it, as you do with high dpi.
 
screen res has alot to do with it too, when i had a 1200/1000 res screen a 2000 dpi mouse (habu) was fine but when i got a 19/12 one it felt so slugish so i got this 3500 one and its better.

im a fps gamer too so quick movement is what i need to kill them first

it can be both, but just moving a mouse to a specific spot on the screen is 100% hand eye coordination.

Yeah true, but I was getting more at the fact that to kill someone quicker, it's generally reaction time, and awareness. You'll find there are a lot of players who play just TDM in CoD for example, then they get stomped in SD. In SD you're trained to listen to your surroundings and access their position, and watch your map a whole lot more. Essentially you should be waiting for the kills and know enemies where abouts most of the time anyway

thats the difference between snd and tdm players that endzy, i can do both but i have more fun rushing on tdm than i do stalking them in snd.

I would have to argue that what you said is what separates a good player from a REALLY good player. a good player can only do one or the other, while other can do both.
