And here you have a pro telling you otherwise. Also the hard facts say no to this statement, MX518´s A3080/A3080E had anglesnapping and the mouse was limited to 125hz and G500 used S9500 which was also placed awkwardly in the front.

They just prefer the delay of smoothing, or if ill be an arse i would say that they actually cant handle something that is truly 1ms fast.

Which are subjective points. It is not only the sensor, it is also their FW coding abilities which are resulting in very fast data transfer.

Well, from an objective standpoint, they are unfortunately the best, altough given their capabilities nothing less should be expected and not even a handful comes close.

Then i would say skip the keyboard for now, for fingertip i would suggest the ROG Sica or the TorQ X5 Optical, the RIval 100 and Roccat Lua are good options if you are not going to use more than 1000cpi for general use and only 500 ingame. I would also suggest getting the QcK+ instead, just in case you want to experiment with sensitivities.

I would say forget the Keyboard, the BenQ XL2411z is currently 210£, which leaves you enough money for a lot of mice, depending on your gripstyle, like the EVGA TorQ X5 Optical or the G402 for example.

That would be a waste of money considering that it is an office mouse with some LED´s, same goes for the Devastator Mouse. Is your Budget only for the Mouse or for the keyboard as well? Also whats your griptype and preferred sens?

Well, all A9800´s which includes 3988 and 3310 because those are based on A9800, are using smoothing to make very high multipliers useable, same goes for the old 6x SROM of the A3090. A3050 doesnt use smoothing, however being based on an office sensor with a very small array it jitters heavily above 1000cpi. AM010 and 3320´s only fault is the relatively low malfunction speed around roughly 3m/s, varying depending on surface of course. It should also be noticed that it isnt "done" with just soldering a sensor in, MCU choice and especially the Firmware impact the performance directly as well(a point where the finalmouse is insanely bad), what makes a mouse very responsible and lets it send its Data as fast as possible is Firmware optimization, it can also affect the Cursorpath as well when the timing is off. LED choice is important as well, a lot of brands do not care about it, but that also doesnt only yield worse performance, but it then also differs from unit to unit.

Yes, also why would you consider 9k111mouse if you are looking for no smoothing.

............... 3320 is basically public AM010, same potential but obviously performance is dependent on FW, with the Xornet II being a relatively decent example and the Kova being a joke.

3310 is anything but "flawless", especially when paired with an "ancient" mcu, it isnt even the potentially.

Its an OEM Product, so they never "stepped into the game", it is also using a low end mcu.

While it doesnt equate to it, CPI Settings have an impact on accuracy with optical sensors.

All preferences in terms of sensitivity aside, from a technical perspective you are closer to the sensor´s actual imaging capabilities, meaning less jitter and in some cases less smoothing.

touche. Well, even at normal prices you still have a few options, like the G402, which is imo better in practice than the G502 anyway.

Well lets use this one, this are normally the terms used to describe ones grip, normal is quite subjective.

As somebody who plays a lot, a mouse can never be too light, it is kind of subjective. First of all, what kind of grip and sensitivity are you using?

Well, there you have your Answer, it makes no sense to switch just for "looks". Altough on the other Hand you get something with proper FW.

Technically it would be the CPI Register closest to the Image array, aka the "base cpi" from which the DSP calculates upwards or downwards.

Well, it isnt flawless and it is mostly used because it is easy to implement considering casing, not to mention that it just simply is the mid-end standard. Also they are using a Holtek MCU which isnt even capable of USB High Speed, so it has an added delay on top of 3310´s smoothing.

I just wrote why it wouldnt work with A3055 anyway, another sensor would be another topic but even then the limitations are pretty low.

That is exactly the Problem, A3055(and A3050) is based on A5050, an office sensor, it has a very small array size so it calculates up from 250cpi. It also goes in General that the more CPI you use with optical systems the worse the tracking gets.

How anyone can say this about an A5050 mouse is beyond my understanding.

Vination pls.

Im not the only one "reporting" it, even without going into the "super nerd" stuff some people are trying to conduct, but then again anyone who thinks that mototech has any capabilities when they cant even make a 1000hz FW deserves to be ripped off anyway.
