Hi, I play Tribes: Ascend competitively, and am looking for a mouse to fit my needs. I've gone through a few mice recently and have been disappointed with all of them in one way or another. It's been a good learning experience though, as now I know what I want in a mouse.
The mice I've picked up and returned recently have been the RAT7, the G500, and I'm currently using the Steelseries Sensei.
I loved the RAT, the only problem being that it couldn't track on cloth and the LOD being a little too high. I'm a big fan of cloth pads and am currently using the PureTrak Talent. I tried the G500, but the LOD (lift off distance) was insane. It was totally unplayable for the style that I use (very low sens, I lift the mouse up every second or two).
I'm now using the Steelseries Sensei and it's awesome. I configured it to have 0% LOD and it feels perfect. Every time I lift it up, the cursor is in the exact same spot when I put it back down. The only issue is that the mouse seems to have mouse acceleration that I can't get rid of. As a long time FPS player it's pretty much impossible for me to play with mouse acceleration, especially in a game like Tribes that requires you not to only have great twitch aim but a very steady hand for chaining.
So really, now I'm looking for a mouse that has these features:
1. Almost no LOD. Best case scenario would be like the Sensei, where I can literally configure it to have 0 LOD.
2. Flawless tracking on cloth mousepads.
3. No acceleration whatsoever. Just raw input.
4. Good shape for fingertip grip.
I can probably deal with it having a weird shape/texture/grip or whatever. As long as the first 3 things I listed are met, I'm a happy camper.
If anyone has a good suggestion for me, I'd be grateful. This sensei is awesome, but the acceleration is pretty much a dealbreaker for me.
