Ime 3.0 has broken, so i need new mouse

post #1 of 16
Thread Starter 
Hello i'm new here and at start i want to apologize for my english.
After 5 years of using my ime 3.0 has broken, so i decided to buy a new one, because i was playing for same mouse a lot of time and i love shape (i'm palm grip). A new one has broken after 2 months and really i don't know why in my opinion shape was different than my 1st ime 3.0.
I was really disappointed that new mouse broke so fast (LMB has double click), so i send it on guarantee to the shop where i bought. They tell me that they send mouse to tests and they don't find ant defect . So now i'm waiting for comeback my mouse.
I'm playing cs 1.6 mainly.
When i was thinking about new mice, i was scared because i'm thinking that i couldn't play good at other mice or new mice will has bad sensor. In my opinion it's really good mouse. Before i was using ime 1.1 (too small ), razer da 1800dpi (a little bit too small, too heavy and my hand was sweating) of course i compare that mice to ime 3.0.

Now i decided to buy a new mouse (we live once so lets try tongue.gif). I was thinking about zowie evo ec2 and steelseries xai/sensei(but i prefer xai because imo some arm procesor unit is unnecessary).
What are u thinking about that choice?? Maybe some other sugesstions about mice??

P.S.
I really like brand of steelseries they rma are awesome, when my headphones has broken they bring me back all money and i was really fast.
I have read a lot of review of ss xai and some tells that that's perfect mouse but others that xai has some problems with profiles, acceleration and mousewheel.
I have read all review of zowie evo on this forum so imo that perfect mouse ofc i know that pooling rate isnt stable and there is some problems with mousewheel.

the polling rate is rock stable on the EC if youre willing to force the Mouse hertz with the program you'd use otherwise for your IME 3.0

Just so you dont let that hold you back, its quite tiny compare though (or apparenty i got palms the size of a bear tongue.gif)

If you already tried the 1.1A(which is what the xai/sensei based on) and deathadder which is alittle larger and both was too small for you so I wouldn't recommended you buying a EC2 since its alittle bit smaller than Xai/Sensei - will be too small for your liking.
You might wanna try the EC1 since its the most simmilar to the IME3.0 shape wise.
it might be too small for you also since its not larger than the Deathadder but alittle bit shorter, but since its more IME3.0s-shaped than Deathadder so you might be pleased with it.

You might wanna try the EC1 Evo tho since its prediction free (which closer as IME3.0)

Hmm but what about xai some ppl told me that they had ime 3.0 but now they play on xai and the size and shape of xai is quite nice, so they accustom to xai really fast .That photo will be helpful, thanks.
But you know now i'm using some small mouse (i need to buy one because i'm bored of using keyboard to do something - that's microsoft optical 100) ultill the shop will send me my ime (i'll try to sell it).
Maybe that's why a new ime in my opinion has a different shape because i'm using for something about 1 month really small mouse and now small mice aren't so bad as as thinking about them.

A small mouse with a similar shape to the ime 3.0 is the zowie evo ec2. Could try that.

Xai/Sensei feels longer in my hands than Deathadder, but Deathadder is taller. The hump is closer towards the back on Xai. Hump is closer towards the front-middle on DA. Xai/Sensei feel bigger in my hands with my grip even though it is technically smaller than DA in size.

450

Xai/Sensei are ambidextrous. If you want shape like IME 3.0, the EC1 Evo looks is a closer match. The EC1 DPI steppings have an nontraditional DPI spread, but you probably play at 400-450 dpi with CS 1.6 anyway like IME 3.0.

Somebody else made this chart:

The mx518 is basicly the G400 now, but the G400 is an upgraded version with the same weight but a different coating.

That would explain why it was harder to find a mx518 on their site lol.
