Mouse jitter - sensor or surface issue?

Shoob

Hello,

I've noticed that my current mouse (A4Tech Bloody V3) has some jittering on the surface I'm using (Bloody B-070). After doing some testing with my previous setup (Razer Abyssus and Steelseries QCK), I'm confused whether the issue is with the sensor or the surface.

Both mice were tested at 1800 DPI.

My V5 has a pretty decent sensor and afaik all the Bloody mice are identical from a hardware standpoint, just different shapes, sizes and weights.

I've cleaned the sensors and mousepads before doing the paint thingy.

The Bloody V3 jitters only when doing small, precise movements on both surfaces, while the Abyssus jitters a lot on the Bloody B070 pad and is fine on the QCK.

I think that the sensor shits itself on higher dpi.

Tested on the V3 and B-070.

Higher DPI increases the sensitivity of the mouse, thus increasing any minute jitters with the user. Rather than making multiples of the same shape, you should scale them so that the amount of physical movement stays the same.

 

Also holy shit, that's one sketchy mouse company.

Yup, bigger shapes on higher dpi are less jittery as expected. I've decided to use both mice for different games until I get a new one. The sensor of the Abyssus is just great imo.

It is well known that PAW3305 sucks at upscaling, magnification on the bloody mice is 1.0x at least, with 0.5 the results would be even worse(because 800 is 400 and so on). 1800 is not native btw.

CPI itself are a minor reason for jitter when talking about optical systems, it is all about array size and DSP "Power".

It´s A4tech.

I've read bad things about the 3305 too and I'd invest in a better mouse next time. I've found a new one - SteelSeries Rival 100. I'm kinda confused what are the differences between the normal Rival and the 100. I like that it's shorter, so it might fit my needs perfectly. :)

3305 is actually an acceptable Option for low CPI useage(meaning under 1200), same goes for the A3050 of the Rival 100, where 1000cpi or under are recommendable. I would rather look elsewhere if you plan to use it on ~1600.
