QUOTE(eternity4av @ Jun 30 2009, 08:51 AM) erm can we say that usually speed edition pads is for first person shooter games while control edition is for real time strategy games? erm i can't comment much on the feelings of speed edition pads, because i only own controls ones so far, basically its made from cloth, it's steelseries qck+ mouse, pad, but if i not mistaken the controls mouse pad surface should be smooth, because it lets the user to move their mouses faster. u mean speed?? qck+ is control ?i just buy only dont know about that...hahaa

QUOTE(espada90 @ Jun 30 2009, 05:46 AM) i am a DA user...i would recommend u a DA...used to be the best gaming mouse...XD and about the mat...using a razer mousepad makes your movement much more effortless then using a normal 1...and also gives u more control and precision or speed based on which type u buy Err.. just wondering, why no one recommend copperhead but DA ? and what makes ppl feel good about DA actually? i think copperhead good for me is becoz it has faster DPI and more buttons on the mouse + on board memory, but it seems like so many ppl complain about copperhead ~_~ btw, how bout exact mat / goliath / and sphex mat? what are the differences among these 3. and lastly, who is Mika ?

^ Search around garage sales, he sells razer products..
IRC, he's in JB..
you can get a copperhead if you want, many ppl go for DA coz it feels very comfortable for right-handed users.. and oso its pretty nice for FPS games... RTS i think u can go for the copperhead..
eXactMat = Dual-sided hard mat mousepad (Control and Speed, rough and smooth respectively) Goliathus = Soft Control/Speed edition mousepad(rough and smooth respectively) available at 3 different sizes (ranging from small, mid, huge) Sphex = Super thin slick hard mat mousepad (Everdying says its like the speed edition of the eXactMat)

Two is One and One is None.

i use CH for FPS...cos i prefer symmetrical / ambidextrous shapes. i can use DA also...but my accuracy drops just a little...and i feel the DA hump is too high...but Mamba one is nice

Ain't the shape same? Or is it because of the side indents on the mamba that makes it just right? Btw, on the left indent on the mamba, whr does your ring finger lies? On the indent or above it?? Any idea?

Hmm got a question. Got a DA recently and I have a few questions:
1. When I install the CD that came with it, the version it says is Driver Ver 1.08 and FirmWare Ver 1.27. Is that the latest stuff for the mouse? 2. Tried using the mouse on COD4, wanted to set the V key on button 4 but when I go into the game it doesn't work. Any idea how to solve this. 3. Was messing around with the settings and stuff on the "interface"(dunno whatchamacalit) and I'm confused between the sensitivity bar and the DPI bar. If I set for example 1800 dpi and master sensitivity to 4-5 (using a laptop screen), I could get the same "feel" when I set 900 dpi and master sensitivity to 7-8. 4. Another question about sensitivity, what is the difference between master sensitivity under the advanced tab and the sensitivity in the sensitivity tab 5. Any idea how to set other dpi other than the given 450, 900, 1800 6. Is it me but I don't notice a difference when I repeatedly press the key which has the "On-The-Fly" sensitivity button. 7. Been reading through this thread and wondered if I could just bring the DA to any place and use the settings I want? 8. What does the *.conf file do? Is it related to the question above?
Think that's about it for now. Sry for asking so many questions.

Regarding your questions above, only can answer you a few.. 1. The CD that came with the driver usually isn't the latest driver and firmware for the mouse.. you have to go razerzone.com and check the latest driver and firmware. 2. Check the driver u installed, your button 4 might bind to other keys.. 5. I think DA only has those 3 pre-set dpi.. That's what i known about.. Do correct me if I am wrong.. learn from mistakes right, people?

1) 1.28 is the latest, it disables prediction. Not sure about driver, head over razerzone to check~ 2)Try to update the mouse driver. 3)Use sensitive of 10/10, other numbers are interpolated and skips pixels, just use the dpi numbers if you would like a different sensitivity. 4)One is windows sens, another is razer's drivers sensitivity setting. My recommendation, use both at default. 5)No, only the 3dpi intervals are usable, if u have to use a different sensitivity, change it in-game, leave windows sens at 6/11. 6)It works but holding down the button while scrolling. 7) Yes, just install the latest drivers, do all your settings, save profile. 8)Its the configuration files of the profile u just saved/set.
Hope i helped you, its brief i know, kinda lazy atm. Btw everdying, can you answer my previous post? Would like to hear from you =D
