Mine skips pixels at 1600CPI, so its still a big fat fail.

I actually like the Mico's level of prediction. It gives a good sense of precision on horizontal movements without making them feel like you are really snapping to horizontal lines. Mice without and prediction always feel a little jittery to me, even ones that aren't the Abyssus on a cloth pad.

I have not experienced the sideways pixel jump that you described in your OP in about a month of using the mouse now. If it's an issue, it's a tiny one, and not likely to be something I'd ever experience in a game because I don't use the middle mouse button anyway. The wheel is too loose, too mushy and the bumps and not precise enough though. It's tolerable, but it sucks that they cocked up the wheel on this thing, because otherwise I really like it.

Yeah, after hours of playing with the mico that pixel jump never happened in game. I still wanted to people to know it exists though, its really weird.

I don't know any mouse that still has a crisp scroll wheel after a month or two or everyday use. Bind anything that you use a game to it and even less than that.

Well i haven't had that issue. Like any other mouse the scroll wheel loosens slightly has it breaks in, but I have found no issues w/ like double scrolling when I don't want to do malfunctions.

My only issue is that the blue LED died in mine, so the scroll whee is always red or dim red. No blue or purple. Zowie responded to my email in like 48 hours and offered to replace it, so im gonna do that. Otherwise, this is been probably my favorite mouse since my old ms1.1

My Xai, Abyssus and G9 all still have excellent tactile feedback on their scroll wheels after months/years of use on each.

Even my Xai loosened up a bit. I am not saying its skipping or un-usable, just that its not as stiff as it was out of the box.

I really only use it for web browsing, but in COD its grenades/flash (up/down) and in cs its jump (down), so it does get slightly more use.
