Mouse Hardware Acceleration

[Asianequation]

Optical vs. Laser Mice

 

Hardware Acceleration is a problem in all laser mice. But how much does it REALLY matter? Is it worth 5% acceleration to get a better mouse? Discuss below. Feel free to include your opinions and examples.

Laser all the way.

 

I tried a RAT7 and a Mamba 2012, and my mamba have a better sensor by far

it doesn't matter for average gamers. But if you play alot of FPS games then you really want an optical mouse with no acceleration.

 

laser = built in acceleration

optical = none

I play a lot of fps games, but is a good laser sensor going to have very noticeable acceleration? I heard only about 4-5%, which is very small. 180 spin would just be 189 degrees.

Personally I don't really mind the acceleration that much. (I've used the great Copperhead Tempest Blue for a good period of time, and now the Kinzu v2 Pro for 2+ years)

Its more for muscle memory. if you are getting shot from X location then with no Acceleration you know how much to move the mouse to get a perfect headshot on the person. vs Acceleration where it wont always go back to that same location. so there is some guesswork involved. Its not much but if you are playing Professional then every millisecond makes the difference.

Ok, thanks. I am far from a pro player, and I'm sure I can deal with a bit of acceleration.
