To those who have experienced lag on the 450 DPI setting, an alternative would be using the 2300 DPI setting with windows setting 3/11, or the 1150 DPI setting at 4/11 which will both get you to that lower DPI (you can do further tweaking in the ingame sensitivity setting). Using a windows setting below 6/11 does not do much harm and does not cause the count skipping that you see when going higher than 6/11. Reviews and tests show that the 2300 DPI step does come with more jitter than the other two steps, but it is not horrendous (it seems to be worse as you use a higher polling rate). Takasta's review on OCN shows the jitter at various settings in a lot of detail. It is worth pointing out that not everyone will perceive the delay on the 450 DPI step to be an issue.

-Sensor: STMicroelectronics OS MLT 04-Weight: 72 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Standard plastic. Versions with matte or glossy aftermarket coating available for purchase.-Buttons: 3-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Slightly mushy in actuation. Does not feel as crisp as the standard omron switches found in most modern gaming mice. Some people mention that later versions have slightly better feeling switches. I myself have used many WMO 1.1 for a long time and never noticed a difference.-Quality/ Design issues: The stock cord on the WMO is thick, heavy, and not very flexible. There can be "phantom scolling"/"scroll jump" where the mouse scrolls one click when moving it (typically WMO users unbind scroll). Often, when you slam the mouse down too hard on the mousepad after picking it up, the LMB or RMB might actuate.-Picture:The original Microsoft Wheel Mouse Optical, a mouse that was produced without the intention of it being a gaming mouse. However, it has become somewhat of a classic gaming mouse. This is both due to the sensor performance, and it having no acceleration or prediction, but also because a lot of tournaments were won by well-known players with this mouse. In Quake, players like Cypher and Rapha have used it, and still used it recently to dominate Dreamhack winter 2013. In Counter Strike, a lot of players, (for example, Spawn, though not anymore) use the mouse. Another reason why people love this mouse is its extremely low weightThe downside to this mouse is that the max perfect tracking speed is rather low at only 1.0 m/s. However, it can be "overclocked" by increasing the USB sample rate, and the max perfect tracking speed increases to around 1.5 m/s when overclocked to 500Hz or more. You can find more info on how to do this here. While the mouse is discontinued, original and re-coated *(but legitimate) versions continue to be available, mostly from China.-Sensor: STMicroelectronics OS MLT 04-Weight: 82 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Standard plastic. Versions with matte or glossy aftermarket coating available for purchase.-Buttons: 5 (one extra thumb button on each side)-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Different switches have been used for the IMO 1.1. Before 2005 they used the d2f-01f-t. After 2005 they used the D2FC-F-7N. Both have a fairly low actuation force and soft feedback, with a subtle difference in feel.-Quality/ Design issues: The stock cord on the IMO is thick, heavy, and not very flexible. There can be "phantom scolling"/"scroll jump" where the mouse scrolls one click when moving it (typically IMO users unbind scroll).-Picture:In many regards very similar to the WMO (same sensor, same flaws), though with side-buttons.-Sensor: STMicroelectronics OS MLT 04-Weight: Around 110 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Standard plastic. Versions with matte or glossy aftermarket coating available for purchase.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Different switches have been used for the IMO 1.1. Before 2005 they used the d2f-01f-t. After 2005 they used the D2FC-F-7N. Both have a fairly low actuation force and soft feedback, with a subtle difference in feel.-Quality/ Design issues: The stock cord on the IME is thick, heavy, and not very flexible. There can be "phantom scolling"/"scroll jump" where the mouse scrolls one click when moving it (typically IME users unbind scroll).-Picture:In many regards very similar to the WMO (same sensor, same flaws), though with side-buttons, and a very different more ergonomic form factor.-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-Weight: AM 88 grams (without the cord). FK 85 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: AM glossy, rubberized, and rubberized with glossy sides. Glossy sides may no longer be available. FK rubberized coating.-Buttons: 7. Only 5 available at the same time depending on which side you use.-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Huano. Need slightly more actuation force than most common switches. Give a distinct tactile feedback.-Quality/ Design issues: The AM does not have a stress relief on the cord. While I have not seen any complaints about it yet, typically, after years of use, this leads to damage to the cord. It is not yet confirmed that this is really a problem. There was a problem with the coating of the 2014 version Zowie FK peeling off over time. However, Zowie claims these issues have been addressed-Picture: AM. FKThese are mentioned together since they are the same sensor in a very similar shell. Zowie's implementation of the Avago ADNS 3090 gives these mice a very low lift off distance. Possibly the lowest of any mouse on the market. There has been mention of a noticeable delay on the 450 DPI setting. While some confirm the issues, others say they do not perceive anything wrong on this setting. At this moment this is still not entirely clear.-Sensor: Avago 3310-Weight: 90 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Rubberized coating.-Buttons: 7. Only 5 available at the same time depending on which side you use.-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Huano. Need slightly more actuation force than most common switches. Give a distinct tactile feedback.-Quality/ Design issues: There have been complaints of some input latency occurring for clicks from the FK1. However, it is claimed this has since been fixed by Zowie.-Picture:-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-Weight: EC1 97 grams (without the cord). EC2 93 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed). EC1 and EC2 have a similar overall shape but are different sizes (EC1 is larger)-Coating: EC1&EC2 Evo glossy, rubberized, rubberized with glossy sides. Rubberized with glossy sides may no longer be available. EC1&EC2 CL rubberized.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Huano. Need slightly more actuation force than most common switches. Give a distinct tactile feedback.-Quality/ Design issues: People have complained about the scroll wheel on the EC1 and EC2. There is quite a lot of "play" for the wheel to move, and this can cause a problem with scrolling not registering. While replicating the problem is easy (pinch and slightly lift the wheel, and the scroll will not register), most people do not experience any problem with normal use of the scroll wheel. There was a problem with the coating of the EC eVo CL series peeling off over time. However, Zowie claims these issues have been addressed-Picture: EC1 & EC2These use the same sensor as the FK and AM, have a similar implementation, but a very different (ergonomic) shape.-Sensor: Avago 3310.-Weight: EC1-A 97 grams (without the cord). EC2-A 93 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Same rubberized coating as the zowie FK-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Huano. Need slightly more actuation force than most common switches. Give a distinct tactile feedback.-Quality/ Design issues: Earlier this mouse exhibited the same latency when it comes to clicks as the FK1, but this has since been addressed.-Picture:-Sensor: Avago 3310.-Weight: Without cord. 11: 90g, 12: 85g, 13: 80g-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Same rubberized coating as the zowie FK-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Huano. Need slightly more actuation force than most common switches. Give a distinct tactile feedback.-Quality/ Design issues: Earlier this mouse exhibited the same latency when it comes to clicks as the FK1, but this has since been addressed.-Picture:-Sensor: Avago ADNS-S3668-Weight: 105 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Matte textured surface, glossy sides.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: The coating material used for the top of the mouse will eventually wear off. People frequently report that the side-buttons stop working (cave in) at some point, which is something that typically does not fail first on other mice.-Picture:When it first came out it had prediction. This has been fixed by Razer in a firmware that was later released.-Sensor: Avago ADNS S3888-Weight: 112 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed and left-handed version available)-Coating: Matte textured surface with glossy sides. Also available with matte textured surface and rubberized sided, and in full glossy coating.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: The coating material used for the top of the mouse will eventually wear off. This is not an issue with the "glossy" special editions. People frequently report that the side-buttons stop working (cave in) at some point, which is something that typically does not fail first on other mice.-Picture:When it was first released there was a jittering issue. This has been fixed by Razer in a firmware that was later released. The other main problem is that it has a fairly high lift off distance. This can however be addressed by the "tape fix". More information about this tape-fix can be found hereand here. Also check out the lift off distance section in the guide here-Sensor: Avago ADNS s3988-Weight: 105 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Slightly rough matte textured surface with glossy sides. Sides have a rubber grip.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: While there are no specific issues that are often reported, it has to be said that when the deathadder 2013 came out, it was very common that people had to RMA it for different reasons. Like the mouse dying completely or developing a scroll-wheel problem. I do not know to what extent these issues have been addressed by the company, but after it had been out for a long time, complaints about the durability of the DA 2013 started to quiet down.-Picture:Note that I added the Chroma and 2013 deathadder together even though they are two separate models. When it comes to the things listed here, the two are largely the same mouse, with the same weight, same sensor and so on. The main differences are that the Chroma adds a 10k DPI option (which does not perform that well due to additional jitter), the braided cable is a little bit thinner, and the surface is slightly smoother (but still a rough textured feel comparable to the 2013 version).-Sensor: Avago ADNS S3888-Weight: 68 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Matte plastic and glossy version available-Buttons: 3-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: The main problem with the abyssus concerns the sensor. It seems that some people get a good one without jitter while others do not. While it is not entirely clear how wide-spread the problem is, jitter is a frequent problem with this model.-Picture:When it was first released there was a jittering issue. Firmware can't be updated, so you need to buy a recent model. However, people have been saying that some abyssus do still have jitter.-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3095-Weight: 104 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right handed)-Coating: Regular/smooth plastic top with matte textured plastic sides-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Many people have reported that the G400 has a common problem with the cord, where the mouse will sometimes completely stop working. The design is also without stress relief, which has caused cord problems for some, but the issue is way less common.-Picture:First generation of the Logitech G400 had prediction and another sensor (the Avago 3080E sensor). You need a PID above LZ13333 for a G400 without this problem. Here is where you can find the information you need to see whether you have a "good" version:-Sensor: Avago ADNS S3095-Weight: 109 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right handed)-Coating: Regular/smooth plastic top with matte textured plastic sides-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the G400s.-Picture:There have been a number of people who claim that the tracking to the left and tracking to the right is slightly different for this mouse. Most G400s users seem to find that this problem is either not there, and even with careful testing they were not able to replicate it.-Sensor: Pixart PMW 3366-Weight: 87 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous shape, but right handed (buttons on one side)-Coating: Regular/smooth plastic top with matte textured plastic sides-Buttons: 6-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Metal spring button tensioning system that is both tactile and smooth according to users and have little travel.-Quality/ Design issues: Many people have found that the mouse rattles when moved rapidly. Not all G303's have this problem.-Picture:-Sensor: Pixart PMW 3366.-Weight: 121 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Smooth, matte plastic. Rubber grip on both sides.-Buttons: 11-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: There currently is a problem that the awkwardly shaped and placed mouse feet tend to come off when used on some surfaces (more likely on those surfaces where there is more resistance, and for low sensitivity players who do long sweeps). Some people seem to have a problem with their G502 where the tracking of the mouse sometimes completely fails. A recent firmware update did not solve the problem for everyone.-Picture:Despite being an optical sensor, it has a max DPI of 12.000 and it is said that every DPI step is native (attained without interpolation). One thing that does need to be pointed out to anyone considering this mouse is that for the size of an optical mouse like this, it is quite a bit heavier than most other optical mice that it competes with.-Sensor: Pixart PMW 3366-Weight: 83 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Symmetrical but not entirely ambidextrous due to the side-buttons being on the left.-Coating: Hard plastic-Buttons: 6-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Logitech G Pro-Picture:-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-Weight: 88 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Available in matte plastic, and with glossy top and matte sides-Buttons: 5 (one extra thumb button on each side)-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Kana v2-Picture:Very high lift off distance that can be addressed with the tape fix. For more info regarding the tape-fix, see: Deathadder 3.5G-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3310-Weight: 100 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ambidextrous-Coating: Rubberized coating-Buttons: 7 (two extra thumb buttons on each side)-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron switches. Not entirely sure which ones, I suspect the standard Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Mionix Avoir 7000-Picture:Jitters at the higher DPI settings.-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3310-Weight: 94 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Soft rubber coating with additional textured rubber grips on the sides-Buttons: 6-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron switches. D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Mionix Castor-Picture:-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090.-Weight: 86 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Smooth plastic coating, rubber grips on the sides-Buttons: 7-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Compared to other gaming mice, the cable on the Spawn is relatively thick and inflexible.-Picture:There are some firmware issues that impact performance. The original firmware had lag when using the buttons on the mouse. Other later firmware did not improve the mouse in every way, but instead removed some issues and introduced others. The firmware versions differ in lift off distance and tracking speed for example. Later versions of firmware addressed the button lag for example, but actually introduced a lower tracking speed, and a higher lift off distance, and some people claimed it also caused noticeable smoothing. This leads some people to intentionally keep using the old firmware. The mouse tape fix works for the high lift off distance (see: Deathadder 3.5G).-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-Weight: 87 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Matte, slightly textured plastic UV-coating. Rubber grips on the sides-Buttons: 7, but DPI buttons on the top are not programmable-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron switches *(not sure which model), actuation is slightly stiffer and requires a little more force than the typical Omron D2FC-F-7N switches-Quality/ Design issues: This mouse has just been released and there has not been enough time for issues regarding durability to surface. Some things that have been mentioned but still not comfirmed are a rattling sound when moved rapidly and the scroll wheel has some play/wobble.-Picture:Like many other mice that implement this particular sensor, it suffers from a high lift off distance. This can be addressed with the tape fix, but this has been shown to cause excessive jitter at the higher DPI settings. The mouse lacks a lower DPI step (starting at 800).-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3310-Weight: 129 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Rubberized coating on the top, rubber grips on the sides-Buttons: 7-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Not entirely certain. It is rumored they are not omron switches and they feel different (TTC switches?). Actuation force remains light, but the feedback is not as crisp or clicky. Some describe them as slightly more mushy than the standard Omron D2FC-F-7N.-Quality/ Design issues: On some of the Rivals, LMB and RMB touch when pressed at the same time. Many people report that the mouse-wheel rattles with rapid movements.-Picture:-Sensor: Avago ADNS A3090-Weight: 90 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Matte plastic top with very rough, grainy plastic sides.-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: The textured, grainy plastic coating on the sides scrubs off over time, leaving just smooth plastic.-Picture:Reported low max tracking speed on some surfaces. High lift off distance that can be addressed with the tape fix (see: Deathadder 3.5G). Noticeable jitter at the higher DPI settings.-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-Weight: 96 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Smooth plastic that has a slightly rubberized feel that fades over time.-Buttons: 7-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Roccat Kone Pure Optical-Picture:High lift off distance comparable to the Savu that can be addressed with the tape fix (see: Deathadder 3.5G)-Sensor: Avago 3310-Weight: around 90 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Smooth plastic that has a slightly rubberized feel that fades over time.-Buttons: 7-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N, very little actuation force necessary, soft feedback-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Roccat Kone Pure Military-Picture:(limited information and testing available)-Sensor: Avago ADNS 3090-weight: 98 grams without the cord-Shape: Ergonomic (right handed)-Coating: Standard (slightly matte) plastic-Buttons: 6 (including the programmable button on top)-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Unclear. Supposedly it is neither Omron nor Huano, but it has a slightly more tactile feel and is slightly harder to press than than the standard Omron D2FC-F-7N switches. More information necessary.-Quality/ Design issues: Currently there are no known frequently recurring problems with the Mad Catz R.A.T. 3-Picture:Originally this mouse was released with a laser sensor like the other mice in the RAT series. Somewhere halfway through 2012 however, the model was updated with the Avago ADNS 3090 sensor. Because this change in sensor went largely unnoticed, not enough information about the performance of this mouse is available. I feel like this was in part due to the poor reputation of the RAT series and the Mad Catz brand in the communities that would typically do these kind of tests. The reason why it is currently on the list is because of the sensor that is used, which usually does not have any prediction or acceleration. However, that is not guarantee that the RAT3 does not have it since there are mice that implement the 3090 sensor with acceleration (Puretrak Valor). This mouse has a very high lift off distance, which is a common problem for mice implementing this sensor. While not confirmed anywhere, I am fairly certain this can be addressed with the tape fix (see: Deathadder 3.5G). Another thing to notice is that while I can not find any tests of the tracking speed of the mouse anywhere, the company (Mad Catz) themselves state that the max tracking speed is only 1.5 m/s, which is surprisingly low for a mouse using this sensor. Various sources mention that the sensor has a max tracking speed of over 2 m/s. According to Woll3 (posted in this thread) 450 and 900 steps are very inconsistent and are suffering from Pixelwalk issues, general tracking at 1800 is fine. The mouse jitters alot on 3500cpi.-Sensor: Pixart PMW 3310 , this is the same as the Avago 3310 just under a different name .-Weight: 90 grams (without the cord, without the optional weights)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: Rough textured plastic on the sides. Rubberized coating on the top-Buttons: 7, all programmable-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron switches *(not sure which model). Very likely Omron D2FC-F-7N switches since these were the one used in other mice in the Corsair lineup like the M65. But this has yet to be confirmed.-Quality/ Design issues: This mouse has just been released and there has not been enough time for issues regarding durability to surface. However, the mouse wheel could have questionable durability if the implementation is the same as in other Corsair mice (this is not confirmed for this specific model). Apart from durability issues, the mouse-wheel in previous corsair mice that seem to be using the same mold had a lot of "play" and were fairly loose. This would result in some rattle when the mouse was moved rapidly, which annoyed some users.-Picture:Noticeably more jitter at the higher DPI settings.-Sensor: Pixart PMW 3310 , this is the same as the Avago 3310 just under a different name .-Weight: 74 grams (without the cord)-Shape: Ergonomic (right-handed)-Coating: glossy plastic on the sides with a rubbery kind of foam where you place your thumb. Rubberized coating on the top-Buttons: 5-Switches used for LMB and RMB: Omron D2FC-F-7N-Quality/ Design issues: There are complaints from users criticizing the side buttons of the mouse. They are said to feel loose and rattle when the mouse is moved rapidly. Another thing frequently mentioned is that people do not like the way they are shaped. Many people feel like the overall build quality is not up to par when compared to the major brands.-Picture:
