Mouse Troubles

post #1 of 7

Thread Starter 
So I recently switched to PC gaming about 6 months ago and I really like the higher framerates, better graphics, and customization options.

The problem is that the mouse still feels kind of awkward.

I have a Razer Deathadder, but I can't figure out what sensitivity to use. I end up changing my sensitivity a couple of times a day. I also have difficulty moving the mouse very much. I feel like I can only move it an inch or two left/right before I lose my precision.

I'm thinking about getting a mouse with a different grip.

Anyone have some advice?

Practice Practice and you will get use to, if not change the mouse. I dont think there is something else to say about this, but if you have mouse cursor problem, maybe try disabling windows acceleration

I've been playing 1-3 hours a day for the last 6 months. I disabled Windows acceleration and used the registry fix.

I'm thinking maybe the shape of the Death Adder isn't right for me.

I've been looking into a more claw grip mouse.

Any recommendations?

If youre looking into a claw grip mouse then the cm storm spawn or roccat savu are options.

But I dont think you have developed a grip style just yet.
A half year isnt that long.
U still are adjusting to playing with a mouse.
The razer Deathadder is a mouse with a well know good sensor just give it some more time.

I feel like a different grip would help.

I was looking into the Razer Lachesis 5600 DPI. Is it any good for claw grip?

I kind of like the shape of the Lachesis as well as the appearance. I like blue LED's and have a Black Widow Ultimate so I kind of want a claw grip Razer mouse.

What exactly is this z-axis issue, and is it really a big deal?
