Like the white Kana from Steelseries.

Hopefully that white Zowie is a special edition with Omrons.
Hope dies last.

Yeh definitely, cannot be bothered soldering in new microswitches, I'll just swap over the internals if they do come with crappy Huano switches.

I honestly cannot find any instances in which the stiff crappy Huano microswitches have pros that outweigh the cons, for gaming, general usage, data entry or anything.

I seem to reach more then 2.9 m/s but then again I'm a paranoid wacko who cleans his mouse sensor every few days and goes mad if even 1 grain of salt hits my mousepad.

try the steelseries NP+, raises the malfunction speed by a fair bit

Enotus is good at finding performance peaks on mice, so don't think of what you get on Enotus as set on stone.

In fact, I just count the max speed I can get every time. Sometimes it (the program) just freaks out and gives a higher reading than what's consistant, and afaik that happens a lot with AM. One swipe it gets 3, next gets 3.3, next goes back down... Then you get a peak of 3.7 or so and champagne bottles are opened, people celebrates until they see the next couple of swipes can't get to that speed again.

I would rather go back and refer to this thread with Outerspace's logger (and even some custom loggers) :

Or perhaps I'm just getting older, a few years back I made a MX518 skip on a CSS TDM.

What are the real dpi steps of this mouse? Apparently they're not exactly 450/1150/2300. Skylit knows the exact formula but I can't find his old post anymore lol. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

1800 registry. Would mean 2300 DPI is the native setting.

Edit: Lowest step should actually be 460 DPI based on the registry and lens magnification. The actual "resolution" can differ based on LED and surface. Nothing is really set in stone when it comes to "accurate" DPI. Even between the same mice ^^

Thanks. So that means 1800 x 1.25 would be the correct dpi? 2250 not 2300?

EDIT: Actually I use 1150 and want to know the real dpi so I can calculate sensitivity properly. If its not exactly 1150 then I get wrong result.
