I really need a new mouse lol

You intrigue me, sir...

You can also go to their webist and check what they recommend depending on what games you play, grip etc. Because they know best! hahahha marketing at it's best but it actually servers a purpose somewhat.

I just bought this funky looking thing

Has really high dpi 16,400... and has great reviews on amazon... 4.5 stars from 1700+ reviews.
Plus it was only like $30 so if it turns out I don't really like it, it's not too big of a deal. It also matches my black/red theme of my PC build and it has a dragon! <3

Only things that matter in a mouse are the shape and how good it tracks (which isn't said anywhere on the box or the specs). Possibly how many buttons it has, depending on your needs. DPI is completely useless.

I really just got it because there was a red dragon printed on it... like my motherboard, graphics card, and PC case...
Keeping theme going is most important, functionality comes secondary.

Spend millions buying a high dpi mouse then you eventually lower it to 450-800 anyway

You really play that low?

[Xant]

Why wouldn't he?

You have to play at the native DPI of the sensor to get the best tracking. Those funny DPI numbers on the box are the result of interpolation techniques. You want to avoid that. I'm pretty sure Logitech could sell a 2.000.000 DPI mouse with the same sensors they use now if they wanted to.

[Grumbs]

The most important thing with a mouse is what sensor is in it and its shape. Other stuff is mostly pointless/preference. Find out the sensor and google search that to see what people think. Good sensors will let you move the mouse fast while maintaining 1:1 input/output. So the crosshair ends up at the same point every time regardless of how fast you move. High DPI is a bit of a red herring, and often optical mice are better than laser

[Kafein]

In practical terms most sensors give optimal results at 800 DPI. Some models do 1000 DPI. It's quite easy to test your mouse sensor by using an application like MS Paint and making quick diagonal swipes with the pencil tool. If your mouse is set up correctly the line will be smoother.

i wonder what native dpi is on my dragon mouse 
Taking forever to ship... ordered it like 5 days ago and they still haven't shipped it 

I love my logitech G5 and it still works like a charm, I just wish it had like 1 or 2 more thumb buttons for MMOs
It has wear marks on the left and right button and on the top center where my palm rests on it... if u run ur finger over the marks you can actually feel its worn down by like a half centimeter 
Might end up returning the dragonmouse if it doesn't meet my expectations.

I just got a new keyboard in the mail too
Logitech G710+... First keyboard I've ever had worth more than like $40 :3 I'm excited but I need a larger desk for it...

The keyboard tray I use on my desk will fit the keyboard but reduces the area for my mouse to like 5 or 6 inches wide... and keyboard tray also forces me to have a little akward of a position when resting my hands on wasd my left arm is kind of scrunched to my torso and my right arm is comfortably relaxed and extended a little bit from my torso... Not too horrible but enough that I just put the keyboard aside for now until I get a new desk.


And and and!!!!
I bought a pair of Gunnar glasses for those marathon days/weeks of gaming... Should arrive tomorrow. Going full nerd mode this year.
