GAMING MOUSE!

This post was officially added by CORNMASTER from his blog wtfbbqiztis.blogspot.com as a contribution for this AWESOME blog !

Today I'm going to talk about mouse for gaming . First of all why would you spend money on such a high performance mouse? Why not get some cheap desktop mouse ... the answer is simple
1. You don't want a sluggish cursor being dragged around and you definitely want to play much better at games .
2. You want comfort and smooth gliding you don't want some cheap WHAT THE F-! mouse with rubber or some cheap materials below your mouse instead of Teflon coating ( the ones on non-stick frying pans ) giving you some insane traction thus making gaming F-ed up
3. You want a mouse that makes your hand suitable with the mouse like wearing a glove you don't want a glove too big or too small , a glove that is for safety purposes or warming purposes and like a gaming mouse you want a mouse that have a size your hand feel great with and a mouse shape like something you feel good with and comfortable with.

So to choose the right mouse you have to follow the 3 factors of what makes the gaming mouse perfect for you the first is DPI or dot per inch meaning that if it's 2000 DPI it means that it will move faster by how much DPI you have for example let's say a 5 cm drag from point A-B with a 1000 DPI mouse those cheap ones and the 2000 DPI mouse like the common Razers and Steel Series mouses . So the 1000 DPI mouse would take at least half a second with high sensivity and if you don't know that's bad because setting the game sensivity higher does not mean that your DPI is higher it means that it's making your mouse DPI move faster thus making your game skip frames so that it makes your cursor faster but that makes your game get hiccups and making your accuracy on clicking less accurate.

Notice the odd and totally retarded picture that shows what happens to the optic laser when you set your sensivity too high and your DPI is too low it clearly shows that with a wider laser you have better pricision reading for your mouse therefore making gaming easier (it's just a simplified saying for those with a shallow knowledge to understand on how mouse works )

Next is the mouse surface notice that cheap mouse have cheap base just like shoes you need soles to walk better and special soles to play sports or for running purposes . You just don't wear a shoes with the wrong type of soles for the wrong purposes therefore you need a good mouse base which is the 4 - 8 circular or some odd shaped material ( rubber , Teflon or some other stuff ) that is stuck on your mouse and no that's not your leftover food stuck onto it so don't go running for your mom's knife to cut is out . Also do ask to touch , see and feel the mouse surface before buying to ensure you're not getting con-ed into buying fake mouses ( there are fake Razers nowadays just like fake phones )

Lastly there's the body of the mouse just like cars you don't want to drive some boxy looking car or a car with such a cramp body that makes the car interior cramp and tight so first of all is to see how you hold a mouse is it too big ? Can your fingers touch both the left and right and let's not forget about the middle mouse and scroll and you scroll up and down properly and click the middle mosue properly too? If you can do all of this then you're 50% done with the mouse handling test , next is to see how many custom buttons there is , the DPI and the surface of the mouse internal memory for the mouse is not really necessary unless you are constantly using other people's computer or you hate to carry a pendrive containing all your customised options and software to enchance your mouse . So first check how many buttons are there ... Steel series have quite a number of custom buttons compared to Razer due to the fact that Steel series mouse focuses on RTS and RPG games that often times you rather have your favorite skill available on one hand instead of putting an offensive skill and a supportive skill on one place why not have both at the same time by using both mouse and keyboard to perform better . Next is DPI how many DPI does it have do you need so much ? To find out simply play 30 - 60 minutes of 3 of your favorite genre games with the mouse if time is not on your side 5 minutes and will do too , see whether you notice any difference between the mouse you once used to play it and the other mouse you'd never used before on the game that way you can find out whether your basic sensivity matches the way you play the game or the mouse you once used was better or the never used before mouse was better than the previous mouse. Lastly is the surface see whether the mouse you hold is according to your specifications , simply glide the mouse over a smooth surface if it's smooth to you then it's good if it's not that smooth but the other stuffs matches you perfectly then get a gaming pad for better glides or faster glides depending on what mouse pad you choose to glide your mouse on.

That's all on my little guide on gaming mouses I hope whatever you read here helps if not then it's not my fault so I recommend going to some other site to find out about getting a good mouse and also all pictures here are stolen except the ugly graph on top the rest are taken without permission but all credits goes to them . HAVE FUN AND HAVE GREAT FRAG SCORES with gaming mouses! :D
