We know that our Spawn mouse has been a very popular choice for quite some time and we're glad to announce that we have a new firmware revision that eliminates all the main complaints regarding this mouse, including DPC Latency issues and now the lift off distance variations.
It's not so great on a black cloth pad either. I guess I will stay with v61 + tape fix which is better in every aspect ... except when dust gets on the tape.
I hope coolmaster will keep the donwload link for v102 (unlike v61) because v201 can't satisfy everyone.
Edit: Nevermind. From I see on the FAQ it looks like both should stay available.

It's very good that CM is making new firmwares this long after mouse has been released. Many companies release maybe one update after release and then just forget about it.
You're using the correct link posted? There was an error on the file.
If so, please let me know the details and we will forward this back to our firmware team.
As a longtime FW Ver. 32 user, I figured I would give this new firmware a go, since it is also supposed have a very low LOD. It works fine for me on my Mionix Sargas 460 black cloth mousepad. I never suffered from the "VOIP Bug", so I'm not seeing a significant difference vs. FW Ver. 32, but it's nice to know CM continues to support their products. Those complaining about tracking should try a black colored mousepad, if possible without any light-colored graphics or text on them. Just like FW Ver. 32, Ver. 201 will not track at all on my white desktop, but works perfectly on my black mousepad, with an extremely low LOD.

My plain black cloth mouse pad (Corepad C1) begs to differ. Same problem with an Razer Exactmat on speed side but it works well with control side! Too bad I can't stand the noise produced by this mouse pad
Just by chance I decided to update my firmware today because I though my mouse was acting odd and I found there's a recently released version
My question is: I found somewhere that I should set a low DPI setting for my mouse, because, at the spawn's case, 800 DPI would be like a true tracking thing, now at 1800 or 3500 it would track less than that and use math to complete, like if it tracked two dots and then make it 4 or 5, thus I wouldn't be able to track 1 dot, only 2 or multiples of 2, for example.
So, is this true?
Don't know if this is relevant, but I'm a high sens player.
This firmware does address the DPC issue, but at the cost of lower tracking speeds; gonna stick with FW 61.
It's nice to see a company that is still supporting their products long after it's release though.
Can someone confirm, that they have changed the cable in later batches? I own one of the original spawn mice and the cable is the only thing now, that I don't like. It is so heavy and stiff that you can actually feel its resistance every time you move the mouse. Especially annoying since the Spawn is so light itself.
I think you may be right, the mouse seems muddy when moving it extremely fast. So what firmware works best for low LOD and good tracking @ 800?
