Least Flawed Sensor Available?

Thread Starter 
Hello, I've been looking around to replace my CM Storm Spawn since the paint on the palm area got scratched, which then turned into a massive gaping hole in the paint and I've gotten a little confused.

I personally can get used to any kind of mouse that can work with a claw or fingertip grip, but I'm getting a little confused over the whole sensor issue.

Is there a sensor out there with little to no prediction, good tracking and can still poll at 1000 hz, with little/no acceleration? I'm not particularly picky about the mouse, was just wanting to get a sensor that's truly the best of the best, I'm assuming there's no "perfect" sensor out there, but which one has the least flaws.

Deathadder, G400 and some of the more decent Avago 3090 mice.

Although the DA still is the best.

The deathadder and mx518 are both palm grip mice afaik, so I guess that puts me stuck with the avago 3090 mice correct?

You can use the DA and 518/G400 with a finger/claw grip, I used a claw grip for about half a year with a DA and it was fine.
You could try checking out the Abyssus, EC2 evo, and AM for your particular grip.

Check out the razer abyssus, i'm almost sure that it use the same sensor than the Deathadder 3.5g.

Controller and firmware is different though. Jitters at specific angles on certain surfaces.

The Abyssus uses the same sensor as the DeathAdder, and is definitely oriented towards finger grip, however it does have only 3 buttons. Its my current mouse of choice and have loved my time with it, although I have high hopes for the Taipan.

yeah, you can grip any mouse any way you want, but that doesn't mean it will be comfortable or natural compared to a mouse specifically designed to suit your preferred grip style

I've been fortunate to test a wide variety of mice, over a dozen, and the DeathAdder has been one of the worst when trying to adapt my finger grip to it. The new G400 based on the classic MX500 shape is one of the most finger friendly palm-oriented designs, but even it is a pretty far cry from being perfect for my finger grip.

Is there much wrong with the EC2 EvO from Zowie? I'd try to keep 2 side buttons on my mouse, otherwise I'd totally go with the Abyssus.

Biggest priority is sensor, followed by it being usable by fingertip/claw grip, and only then would I bother about having the side buttons to make use of my DotA2 Items.
