I try to stress this, but no two mice will be exactly as hardware varies.
Edit:
Mx510 on its own a pretty unique mouse. I believe it required the use of software to tick the 800 DPI registry or else it defaulted at 400. Must have been an early Cypress micro controller limitation.
what do you mean by "via registry? windows registry?

Yes the mx510 needs Mouseware installed to be set at 800dpi (which sucks because that didn't seem to work on windows 7)

@Dunan:
yes the mx510 has prediction/angle snapping http://www.esreality.com/index.php?a=post&id=2024663#pid2024732 . I tried the mx510 and g400 in paint, and it's much easier to paint straight lines with the mx510:

nice mouse, but that the sensor is not exactly like my mx510 kinda bugs me, guess i'll have to play with the sensivity settings until i find a good value then :/

DPI registry via SROM of mouse.


Maybe you're just used to the angle snapping?

Nope, when i do a 180° turn in css it seems i need more way with the g400 than the mx510, with the mx510 it's a bit more than 180° turn, with the g400 less.

but there's one more thing that bugs me with this mouse: the buttons seem to be harder to press, my hand/muscles get tired pretty quickly when using this mouse compared to the mx510 or zowie ec1 evo. will the buttons get looser and easier to press after a few weeks?
i opened up my mx510 to see if i could replace the switches, but it doesn't look like that's possible unless using a soldering bolt to get them out :/

Is the current batch of G400s from newegg with angle snapping? I just ordered one and would like to know.

At this point, it's next to impossible to find one with angle snapping.

at 125hz it is easy to make strait lines, have you tried overclocking it to 450hz? feels really similar to the g400
