when would razer release their green DA eh? i am certain there will be one. but razer seems like taking forever even for the tarantula.

that one is not dpi meh? higher dpi means more frequent scan hence better movement detection??

from my understanding...

dpi is dots per inch, so more dots per inch, the more accurate you can get the pointer on a pixel.
very useful for photoshop ppl etc etc.

the polling rate is how FAST the cpu can read, so the mouse movement transmitted back faster, so more accurate shots etc for FPS.
easiest way ppl test is to draw fast wide circles in photoshop/paint.
higher rate the circle looks smoother and rounder cos the cpu works faster to capture all that motion.

like for razer polling rate got 125, 500 and 1000.
from 125 to 500 i can feel difference, 500 to 1000 not much.
so i just use 500, dont want to tax cpu too much.

Dpi = dots per inch = how many dots (pixels) ur pointer can move when u physically move your mouse one inch.This is why you feel the pointer moving faster when u set a higher dpi,since u are covering more dots per inch of movement.

Polling rate is how fast the CPU and mouse communicates.So at the highest setting (1000hz),ur mouse communicates 1000 times in a second with the computer so to speak,which means there's a lag of 1 milisecond (1/1000th second) between ur physical mouse movement and the movement of your pointer ,i.e. :

Physically move your mouse ---> 1milisecond later -----> Pointer moves

So at a lower polling rate,say 500hz,it's,takes,erm,2 miliseconds to respond?
At 125hz,it takes 8 miliseconds to respond,pretty much like "regular" optical mouses as razer puts it

So.....say you and a fren have the exact same ping in a LAN game.It's the final round and your scores are evenly tied.You're equiped with a kickass Chaos Green Razer Copperhead (with eXactMat ) set at 1000hz polling rate while he has some lame regular optical mouse with an 8ms response time.Being the only 2 survivors,each wielding a single-shot-frag type gun (snipers,railguns,etc),you eventually meet at a corner and although he shoots 6ms before you,you're still gonna frag him since you own an uber mouse XD

(In short,set it at whatever rate u feel comfortable with,I doubt it'll make too much of a difference lol)

Wow! Honestly this is the most kick-ass explanation I've seen so far!
Although like as if I'll know if my opponent shot me 6ms before me

oh yeah.. kickass! thanks man!

Lol thanks

Almost May, where the hell is that keyboard?

what keyboard?

i think he means Recluasa...

my next keyboard i wanna get is a gaming keyboard with proper black plastic keys with no letters, guranteed no letters or paint to wear out.
you should see my saitek eclipse WASDC, left shift and left ctrl keys now

Yes,that keyboard. Still waiting. Any other good keyboards to check out?

LOL
I guess no manufacturer would actually mass produce such keyboard though

Last time i think i did saw one keyboard as you mention, no keys printed. But I forgot what's the name lolz.

yea, see my saitek keys wear.
had it more than a yr already.


Attached thumbnail(s)

At least your words are still there lol...

Mine already doesn't have words on those keys...

wei wei wei... this is Razer thread ler... dun talk bout saitek.
akakaka

Yea,post pics of ur awesome Turantula or somethin

The Tarantula ain't awesome.
*Hides from flames*

=p

Like u have one

(wait,do u? )

is "mako" (the speaker + woofer" available in malaysia yet?
