it depends on your luck really. My DA2013 is working perfectly fine while some users have complained of getting defective units.
can go try out the Logitech G700s if you are looking for something wireless too

from my own experience, I don't think there is a big difference between both sensors as we have come so far with both technologies.
only difference as you have already said is the light source each sensor uses; usage wise they both perform on-par just that the typical optical sensor works on less surfaces.
long ago, laser always had the upper hand as their native DPI/CPI was higher compared to optical, but that isn't true anymore.

One of my claw grip friends recommend the Corsair M95, but I think that is over-budget by about RM40.
Can go check out the Corsair M65 too since both have similar design

yeah there are optical sensors that don't emit any light too
an example would be the Razer Deathadder 2013

I think best would be to go and test these mice out yourself
anyways, while you are at it, can go try Razer Deathadder 2013, one of the best wired mouse I have ever used.

Top up abit can get the Logitech G602 @ RRP MYR269, one of the best wireless mouse I've ever used.
From October till now, the battery still not dead yet with average 4 hours/day usage.
Only downside is the mouse doesn't support native charging, but hey, duracell batteries come included

wow the amount of effort put into this is unbelivable

I remember Logitech has a mouse that features a horizontal scroll wheel...
but that is sooooooooo long ago they probably discontinued it.

I have a Kone Pure Optical with me right now and a DA2013 as well

The Kone Pure Optical is easier to handle in my opinion.
Love the soft touch finish and the software feature which is very customizable albeit doesn't look user friendly at first glance

the side is soft too haha!
it seems that you have perhaps found the perfect mouse!

should be a kinzu v2..
anyways, congrats on the purchase

Is there something called Sensei Pro?
Sensei RAW izit

I have a feeling that those Microsoft x SteelSeries ones aren't genuine

so they are modded from real IMEs? But are there still any "new" IMEs? I thought MS discontinued it back then

wow, really is dirt cheap compared to the sales thread on LYN
comes with a bunch of freebies too

have fun playing with the bitmap maker

I think I saw a forumer complain that the palm rest is flimsy a few pages back.
Anyhow, what do you seek in the Ouroboros that other mice don't have? Is it the adjustable palm rest or just the bling factor
Do share what you seek in a mice so we can perhaps suggest other mice for you to choose from
