If you can spare another $15 bux, the Zowie Gear AM is an excellent choice. It's smaller in size and ambidextrous.  Works best with a plain black cloth pad.

Question: Is the sensor/tracker on the Abyssus that much better than the Kinzu v2 Pro sensor/tracker? Because I really like the size and shape of the Kinzu v2 Pro, plus it has on board memory which the Abyssus lacks.

Yes, Abyssus has better sensor. But I'm not sure if that will make a big difference for you since you use medium to high sens and play only StarCraft.

you may be right, but then the abyssus is a lot less expensive.

Actually, at least here in Germany they are both equal in price.
Both ~35€ with shipping.

Refurbished, good seller and refurbish really means it was opened and returned, no scratches or something on their stuff.
From Hongkong theres also a lot of sellers and then its 15€.

Anyway, where did you find the Zowie AM for 35€? For that price i might get one, i cant find it (worldwide) for less then 60€.

Oh, I thought it is about the price of Abyssus vs. Kinzu 2 Pro, because you replied to post 13. And there he talked about those and not Zowie AM

I've been really happy with the G400. I like the feel of it better than the DA. But that is my opinion.

There are toggle switches for dpi and polling rate under your abyssus which negate the need of on board memory.
