Steelsesries Raw Rubber material

Thread Starter 
I have a few questions for people that have the steelseries raw rubber material version.

1. The material on the mouse does it leave your finger imprint on it after using it that will not come out?
2. I hear people say that this mouse uses Acceleration when gaming for like BF3 and that is a bad thing, but why is that?


Thanks...

I don't know about the material
It's not that the sensor "uses" acceleration, it is more of an unwanted flaw. Is a bad thing because it is better for your muscle memory to always have a steady cursor/mouse movement ratio, acceleration means the cursor doesn't move always the same distance when performing the same movement on the mouse. This is undesirable because that acceleration is built-in, is unpredictable and is not in the same amount all the time so it will only screw your aim.

That said, I guess the amount of acceleration is minimal (5% at max) and IMO only more hardcore gamers will notice it in use.

Of course, if you can find a comparable mouse that uses the Avago A3090 optical sensor, it will be cheaper and has less/no acceleration, and that means better.
