What’s your sensitivity in inches/cm per 360°?
Do you prefer hard or cloth pads?
Budget?
Roccat Pyra Wireless Gaming Mouse?
PixArt PAW3305DK-H sensor. Sensor isn’t that bad but suffers from low perfect control speed and the weight and balance is crap same as all other wireless mice. Though I believe it’s the best wireless mouse you could get in terms of sensor performance.
What's your grip style?
Palm grip.
Do you prefer hard or cloth pads?
Which one is better? I had cloth one.. I got that black kind of mark
Looking for good, comfy pad..
Budget: 30-50 USD.
What's your sensitivity in inches/cm per 360°?
Err, what’s that?? I use default settings..
I find the low end Razer cloth mousepads are good enough.
Steelseries QCK mini is just utter crap.
You don’t want a mousepad to act like sandpaper and eventually you have to buy new Teflon feet.
Palm grip. Pyra isn’t good for palm grip anyway. It’s made for claw/fingertip. Palm grip mice are shaped like IME 3.0 and WMO 1.1s although the WMO 1.1 shape can be used for just about anything.
You should know that wireless mice are all pretty much crap compared to their wired brethren in terms of performance. The best palm grip wired mice are
1) Razer DeathAdder. The only palm grip mouse with a flawless sensor. Avago S3688/S3888.
2) Zowie EC1/EC2. Suffers from prediction but otherwise flawless. Avago 3060.
3) Logitech G400. Suffers from prediction but otherwise flawless. Avago 3080E/S3095.
4) Logitech MX518. Suffers from prediction but otherwise flawless. Is the predecessor to the G400. Avago S3080/3080E.
5) Any of the A4Tech palm grip shaped mice.
Which one is better? I had cloth one.. I got that black kind of mark Cloth pads offer more control and are generally more comfortable whilst hard pads offer less control but more glide. Also, laser mice only work properly on hard pads except a select few like the Steelseries Sensei which still suffers from 5% positive acceleration on cloth.
Budget: 30-50 USD. Is that for both the mouse and the pad? That’s not nearly enough.
Err, what's that?? I use default settings..In first person shooter games how much do you move your mouse in inches/cm to make a 360 degree turn?
So Razer DeathAdder is worth buying? Thanks, will check it out.
Also how is Razer Mamba?
Budget: 30-50 USD.
For mice pad. Razer Vespula? Razer Ironclad? or Razer Goliathus Speed Edition?
Does mice pads make any difference or it’s just a show off?
In first person shooter games how much do you move your mouse in inches/cm to make a 360 degree turn?
Say 3-5 inches..
So Razer DeathAdder is worth buying? Thanks, will check it out. Make sure it’s the Black Edition.
Also how is Razer Mamba? Philips Twin-Eye sensor. It has a Z-Axis bug if you ever lift your mouse. You can check out Youtube for videos on it. Other than that, horrible weight and vastly overpriced.
For mice pad. Razer Vespula? Razer Ironclad? or Razer Goliathus Speed Edition? The only mousepad worth buying from Razer right now is their Goliathus but even that is pretty bad compared to what you can get from other companies for nearly the same price it’s not really worth it. The best cloth mouse pad for $30 would be the Zowie G-TF. Amazing durability and almost a perfect blend of control and speed.

Other good pads under $30 include the Alsop Raindrop XL, Puretrak Talent, Steelseries NP+, Mionix Sargas and many more. Though none of them are AS good as the G-TF imo. Another option would be Artisan mousepads but they are very expensive with small sizes going for around $30.
Does mice pads make any difference or it's just a show off? Of course they do make a difference though don’t expect other players to scream “HAX BAN GTFO ROFL” when you start playing with your new gear. Having a good mousepad and mouse will negate the bottleneck your gear imposes and will leave you with only yourself to blame if you can’t get frags. Just keep practicing. It can take as much as 6 months for one to get accustomed with their new gear. I’ve retired from competitive Counter-Strike leagues but have been playing in them for the past 6 years and I own around 14 different mice and around a dozen mouse pads.
Thanks for your time Just ordered Razer DeathAdder Black Edition.
Regarding Zowie G-TF, I have to go to the market and buy.. Since it’s not available over here.
Thanks again, much appreciated.
Make sure to post a follow up later ;)
Im way too late on this one… but the Saitek RAT 7 is pretty awesome imo. And i like the Steelseries mats. Good Combination!
