Ic...y always hear my friend say if playing FPS better use optical?
Sorry for so much noob question

cos fps games doesnt need high sens, if too high cannot aim properly..

becoz FPS player used to swing mouse alot.. the lifting distance for laser is too high and hav to lift higher to not let the mouse detect the surface.. optical u only nid to lift alittle onli in order to swing.. fast player nid that or later u end up facing the way u not suppose to if using laser mouse..

They using IME? If both mouse have the same features, just that 1 is laser and 1 is optical...Price also different. Optical is cheaper than laser.

For me I set my lanchsis mouse dpi to 2000
But when I play FPS i change to 600
I wont be swinging and the chances of missing gun shots
4000 dpi and controlling a sniper in cod 4 is insane

This is true. I own both a optical and laser gaming mouse. The lifting distance for low sens player is wicked on the laser mouse. My dpi is 1600 and in-game sens is around 1. So when i lift the mouse, there is distortion to the crosshair. It's very annoying when u doing drag shot.
After getting optical mouse, it's completely diff

same, i'm using gigabyte gm-r04 always set at 1600 dpi for fps gaming. 2000dpi is overkill. But on desktop, want to swing fast, i'll set 2k.

but i use ikari laser to play fps not bad w, maybe use to it ady.. hahaha.. but gonna try IMO 1.1 later...

Ikari laser is a good mouse. It has overcome the issue of lift-distance actually. But in we, the optical fanboy's head, still support optical mice. laser technology has better precision according to an interview during NewEgg Lanfest. Sigh, ikari laser is too pricey for me. So any other good mice for recommendation? How much is Logi g9 btw?

logi g9 about rm300++. Saw that at c-zone just now.
Waiting for gigabyte ghost series gm-m8000.

actually ggb not worth to buy their gaming mice. I had 1 before. The gm-r04 red color with black sides.
get logitech mx518 better if below RM100. no offence.

it depends on the user what kind of mouse suits them personally. GM-r04 is fine with me, only the rubber coating is peeling slowly.

owned a razer b4, premium price to pay and that mouse konked out on me in less than a yr. i dun buy pricey mouse anymore. i personally like the gigabyte mouse's shape & price point. at rm40 for their optical 6880 series or Rm50 for their laser series, good value for money for me as i find the shape very comfortable for my hands.

Did you claim warranty for your Razer mouse?
Anyone tried optical ikari from ss? I saw it selling for 199

no i did not claim for warranty, the receipt dun know where i hv thrown it oledi lol. furthermore, i had a terrible experience with claiming for my graphic card the last time, so i did not pursue, i just make sure i switch their brand

yeah, tats why i feel the lift off distance wit qck is good....

ikari optical vs death adder?anyone can help abit...for replacing my mx518

not much of a gamer but sumwat mouse must look nice then can hahah...

not really must look nice, to me personally i feel that the dpi matter. Low dpi like 800 dpi is too slow, ok maybe acceptable when ppl are using some cheap mouse. But normally i prefer a mouse at least 1.6k dpi.

I read the reviews from the internet, it says that Ikari Optical not so good if compared to DA, and many of the forummers here are selling their Ikari Optical.
Thou, reviews give good comments for Ikari Laser. But its RM100 extra to fork out. RM299 depends u wish to pay for better gaming experience or not
