Dear LinusTechTips-Community,

 

possibly I need to replace my current mouse and would like to tell you my current setup.

I'm using the Clawgrip to hold my mouse, I've always moved my whole arm while playing FPS-Games. My current Mousepad: Razer Goliathus Large Control Edition.

Currently, I'm using 400DPI and my InGame-Sensitivity in Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is at "1.0" with Raw-Input "ON". Yes, I need much more time killing a person when an enemy moves pretty fast towards me, but my whole Gameplay is based on perfect Spraydowncontrol and tracking the Enemies from Edge to Edge.

My new mouse shouldn't be too fancy, I do not like to have so many Buttons on my mouse. Also, the amount of DPI is completely unnecessary for me. 

For me, it is important that my new mouse should be more accurate and precise. I've got no clue about the Sensor-Technology and if that makes a huge difference between cheap and expensive products.

 

(yes I know, a better mouse doesn't make me better)

 

Current Product: https://sharkoon.com/product//10042#desc

 

My most expensive mouse was the Roccat Kone[+] for 90 Bucks when it came out, however, my current FireGlider from Sharkoon is more accurate than any Roccat products I've had. I do not know why... but it feels smoother compared to my previous mouses.
 
Final Question: Does a mouse with a better Sensor-Technology has more Accuracy compared to cheaper mouses?
 
My Budget is endless, so there is no limitation to your product suggestions.

Try the FinalMouse, that's what I was thinking about getting soon. It's not better sensor = better mouse but the FinalMouse for example, the engineers made modifications to the sensor or something to make it overall better for cs. I forgot where I heard this but it was in some review or something.

Final Question: Does a mouse with a better Sensor-Technology has more Accuracy compared to cheaper mouses?

 

Well, there are sensors that have issues. Some of those sensors are in expensive gaming mice, so cost does not mean better sensor.

 

A lot of the cost behind expensive mice is for things like build quality, recouping research & development costs and ensuring quality customer services. And for some brands, marketings costs as well. Basically, cheaper tends to mean lower quality plastics, switches, coating and inferior customer support.

 

From the looks of it, the FireGlider appears similar to a variety of mice. Razer DeathAdder, Zowie EC1-A, CM Storm Alcor. That's where I would start looking.

 

As for cheaper mice feeling or actually being more accurate, a lot of that has to do with ergonomics. If you're constantly shifting your hand on the mouse, it doesn't matter if it's the best mouse on the market, you're still going to suck on it because you're clearly not comfortable using it. And that is pretty much the most important thing when choosing a mouse: You need to have a mouse  that feels absolutely perfect in your hand.

I own and use, sorted from newest to oldest: SteelSeries 6Gv2. Microsoft SideWinder X4. Mionix Naos 7000. Zowie EC1 Evo. Microsoft SideWinder X8. Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0. Dell U2414H. Samsung P2270H. AKG K273 Pro. Sennheiser HD555. Razer Goliathus Speed Medium. Func 1030 L. Qpad CT Medium.

I used to own: Razer DeathAdder 3G. Razer Krait. IntelliMouse Optical 1.1. SteelSeries QcK.
