Q1: I like the feel of the G502 Proteus Spectrum the most out of the mice I have. Just makes it, having come out in January 2016.

Q2: I use about 8 different buttons when I play Dark Souls III lol, for various attacks, locking onto things, using items, etc. I don't think necessarily think the best mouse on the market will have that many, but...

Q3: PMW3366 of course.
tongue.gif
3360 or 3361 if otherwise.

Q4: Nope.

Q5: I assume you mean normal vs. braided? In that case, anything but braided cables. They're stiff and annoying. :/

And thanks for the giveaway! Very generous of you. ^_^

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?
Logitech G403 for medium size hands, unfortunately again too short for large hands.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?
5
Assetto Corsa
LMB: horn
RMB: brake
MMB: exclusive fullscreen toggle
FMB: lights
BMB: turbo toggle

FPS games
LMB: fire
RMB: zoom
MMB: ability 1 or none
FMB: ability 2
BMB: ability 3
Scroll: item switch

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)
PMW3360 unless there is something newer "better". Pretty much any sensor that is close to MLT04 in precision but offers the much needed higher (1600 to be usable with 4k resolutions) CPI and max speed.

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?
Definitely isn't. Zowie can do the configuration using a hardware button so why not. Otherwise software for configuration is fine, run once and never run again. Do not like bloatware that runs in background and offers features that are often done using a different software anyway, such as hotkeys/macros which are done using autohotkey etc.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
None? With a wireless powered/charged mousepad.
biggrin.gif
But I think you would beat even Logitech by doing that.
If cable is used then non-braided, "wrinkle" free, slippery. My old IE3.0 cable is good, not super thin nor super thick, stays where put and doesn't get in the way.
Where as Zowie cables come all folded and wrinkled, do not hold shape, sure are softer easier to bend but are nearly impossible to setup and get out of the way, twist forever around.
Please do not fold the cable instead try like Logitech does with some of their mice, round it at the biggest possible radius in your packaging.

A nice rubber cable is fine by me, not folded, no wrinkles, not too thick, 3m long.

If you do need to offer a braided cable, offer a replacement paracord braided one.

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

The one on the Logitech G502 Spectrum. I liked it when it was on display at a local expo a while back.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

On my DeathAdder Chroma, I mostly use 5 of them, but some of the RPG's can be done with the regular scroll and side clicks on the mouse. I currently play The Witcher 3, RotTR and AC Revelations. I usually do play BF, but that is just for the SP.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

Obviously, the 3366 with adjustable DPI's. I use 800 @ 1080p

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Don't make it Synapse.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?



Plzz. But I'd take braided cables provided they are not too stiff. 3m long due to my desk

I haven't used that many mouses, but your comfy mouse looks like it has nice shape, I definitely prefer a resting place for the side of the thumb. So you could make it for ambidextrous use.

3 mouse buttons, I would say Trine 2 is my favorite now. In other games like first person shooters, or third person shooters, I use the right-mouse button for focus, zoom, scope, and the left-mouse button for shooting, middle mouse button-wheel I use to change weapons and power.

I'm very new to mouse sensors and I don't know anything about them, I'm presently using Dragon War Emera 3200DPI mouse, at different DPI settings it is nice in different games.

That depends, if it is run just once to configure and calibrate the mouse and leave it and doesn't run in the background, I might like it. Also if it allows me to change colors and put a multihued colors, I might like it.

I would choose a cable which is multi-hued and illuminated, which can show different colors and rhythmically change to music or sound effects, which is durable and doesn't tangle.

Thanks for this giveaway.

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

From 2016, Logitech G403. Most Logitech mice have that shape and I find it the most comfortable.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

Battlefield 1

* Scroll wheel for switching weapons
* Scroll wheel left/right tilt for DPI control
* Side button 1: In game VOIP
* Side button 2: Grenade

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

PWM3366

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Yes, but simple. I prefer function over being able to control flashing lights. Give us the ability to control sensitivity etc... with software.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

Non braided. Thin plastic would do.

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

nope

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
from most to less important

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?
- G900, I never thought I would like the ambi-shape as much as I did with the G900. The rounder, less sloped "butt" of the mouse makes all the difference.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?
- Overwatch: LMB (Shoot), RMB (Scope/Alt), Scroll Wheel (Jump), L Thumb Button (Melee) = 4 buttons total.
- ESO: LMB, RMB, Scroll Wheel (Zoom), Both L Thumb Buttons, one to open (Items) and other for (Skill) = 5 buttons total.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)
- 3360/3366

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?
- Personally, I don't like software as a "must" but rather an option to adjust settings, lighting effects, LOD, etc etc.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
- Wireless personally (Reason why i have the G900). Else, I would like a detachable cable that you can custom make if you like. I prefer braided cable but without the core-sheath over the 4 inner cables and no inner paracord. 4 light copper cables with just braided sheath for lightness and flexibility.

Q1: Razer's DA (2016 Chroma version, almost identical to classical DA). I have small hands and for me it's perfect. Have been using 3 different DA for 8+ years, no complaints whatsoever. I should really stress that I do have small hands and what works for me it is not necessarily going to work for others. Example: I have a gamer friend with big hands and he uses a "claw"grip on my mouse and his zowie (also the small version) instead of the classic "wrapped hand with two fingers" that I use. It's my understanding that most gamers do not use the "claw" grip (as in the palm of your hand not touching/pushing the body of the mouse, instead using fingers to move it) and of course most FPS players are arm players not wrist players meaning they will prefer a full grip as opposed to a finger-only one. I'd like to add one more thing, minimalist is the way to go, I never met a gamer over 10 years old saying "I'm so glad my pc/mouse/keyboard has all these pretty logos".

Q2: I play mostly FPS (OW/CSGO) and Offline RPGs (Witcher 3/DA Inquisition/Divinity 2). I always use only 4, LMB, RMB, and two Thumb buttons on the left (I'm right-handed). I have tried different mouses with macros/additional buttons and hated it. Coming from WoW I'm used to 60+ hotkeys on my keyboard and mouse buttons instead often get in the way, reduce grip or just makes the mouse feel weird IMO, not to mention they look ugly as hell (again IMO). I should add the wheel button is actually a pretty good idea and I do use it while browsing but have never found a use for games since it requires you to move your left finger from the LMB (often shooting button). I much prefer thumb buttons as you can keep control over LMB and RMB and often use them for melee attacks/nades (when quick reaction required).

Q3: I'm very happy with the S3988. Had no complaints consistently playing CSGO at 400 DPI and 2.0 Sens and OW at 1600 DPI 2.25 sens. Over 700h never saw a problem related to the mouse sensor.

Q4: I initially hated mouse related software, it felt like bloatware and useless. Now I work on two 1440p screens and the ability to set individual applications to set DPI is pretty nice so I can have higher DPI outside of games. To be fair, any serious gamer would never use multiple DPI settings (No muscle memory hello?) and with that you pretty much lose the only reason for that kind of software to exist. Syncing light's color and all that stuff only makes it look gimmicky and unprofessional. If you plan to go down that route I would strongly advise making it simple, minimalist even, DPI, Acc, Profiles and hotkeys and of course it shouldn't be mandatory. As long as you can set DPI outside of a dedicated program I really don't see a necessity for it.

Q5: If I could choose it would be a wireless mouse. However, again no serious gamer will ever consider a wireless mouse for two reasons 1) Wired is always better in terms of potential data loss 2) Same reasons we watch movies at 28fps, QWERTY layout, etc, we are used to it. I feel that any gamer's mouse needs to be wired but perhaps I'm a bit of an old gamer that still remembers all the wireless issues that were common back in the days, I still set my mouse to only 400 multiplier and do other anachronistic things like that so take my feedback with a grain of salt. I would suggest a wired mouse is best, what kind of wire I would strongly argue in favor of the most slippery wire as possible, minimizing the feeling of "resistance" when the cable is pulled which leads to imperfect movement key in FPS games.

I apologies for any mistake, english is my second language.

P.s. Edited for typos.

Q1: The Logitech G403

Q2: 5. LMB, RMB, Mouse 4, Mouse 5, Scroll Wheel click. I'm normally a BF player but I've been playing mostly OW. Ult is middle click, and the side buttons for the different abilities.

Q3: 3360/3366

Q4: Yes, I have to have at least 2 profiles. I use the side buttons for volume control and can't bind things in games while those are volume buttons.

Q5: Paracord 100%. But non-braided in preferable. The braided cable on the DA Elite is really good though.
 
#13 ·
Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

Anything with the old basic shape.. so the DM1 really. I don't like bulky protruding gaudy looking messes.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

I only use 3 extra buttons aside from right/left/scroll, don't have a favourite game but in any FPS ill use a dps switch button, and the two side buttons for reloading and grenades.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

Pixart 3360

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Yes.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

Detachable(I would hope with a good locking mechanism), to allow for custom color braided cables.

I don't know much about mice so my opinions are probably worthless, but I do know I wanna win the DM1 pro S, it looks like a good fit for me.

I might be in the minority and it's not a 2016 design entirely but the Corsair M65 PRO RGB is the best overall mouse I've touched in years so it's the mouse I'm mainly referencing. I think a sturdier 'heavy metal' frame with optional weights may be a nice compliment for the pro. I'm not sure what you could possibly do right now to really blow away the DM1 pro s for gamers who want light / tiny mice minus asking them for ergonomics input. I'd like to try out the DM2 comfy as that's more my style of mouse but I'm not sure I want to try another 3310. That said, add a DM2 comfy to the giveaway and pick me
biggrin.gif


Q1: M65 pro RGB

Q2: CS: GO is my e-sports game of choice, I require 5 buttons, thumb buttons 3 & 4 + mouse5. I find this versatile enough for all of the other games in my collection, I do not like mice with tons of macro buttons. Please put some effort into the positioning of thumb buttons, the sniper button on the corsair vengeance m60 comes to mind, don't assume everybody has a 5 foot long thumb!!!!

Q3: Well, I'm using a 3360 now, I think you have a 3360 in the DM1 Pro s, so I'm not sure I'm up to date enough to recommend anything else. I love the 3360. I didn't like the 3310 as much due to how selective it is with tracking surfaces. I also still use an ADNS9500 laser which I thoroughly enjoy, not sure what the latest and greatest on that end of the spectrum is. I think for the mainstream the 3360 is going to be the hot spot still.

Q4: Software is not a must, I really don't like janky software, if you're going to make software, make it simple and usable. A very simple interface that offers firmware updates, RGB controls, and maybe storing DPI selections for a switchable mouse, nothing flashy or overly graphical please.

Q5: braided no question. Keep it light but slightly rigid.

Side note, I miss getting custom mouse pads like I got with the Gigabyte Ghost back in the day, or maybe even a mouse bungee with a DM LED logo on it. Because Fluff, I like fluff!

Q1: I still have not tried G900 but love G502 shape.
Q2: I want at least 2 buttons of the side. I use them in Dota 2 for items slots. Would like 3-4 if placed in such a way I could use them easily. I dislike mice with a lot of buttons in the side.
Q3: I love 3366. One of the reasons I use G502. Have tired a lot of different sensors but this feels the most natural.
Q4: Software never get used. Only thing I use it for my mouse is to set initial values and all is stored in mouse memory.
Q5: Braided has been good with me. Seems more durable in general after rubbing at the side of the desk.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)
Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?
Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
A1: Ive tried a few gaming mice in 2016 (Razer, A4Tech's Bloody, Logitech G502, and Corsair M65). All had pretty good shapes and fit for my hand. However, I needed to replace my M65. In the end I felt that the G502 had the best fit and feel. It was so similar to how my hand fit on the M65 that I figured it was time to try something new and I am now using the G502

A2: Recently my favorite game (most play time) has been Killing Floor 2. For that, I only need Left and Right Mouse plus center Mouse button.

A3: Im not sure what sensor my mouse would need other than the tracking sensor. I guess mouse enthusiasts know more about this than I do.

A4: Additional software is only a must if it works well and is easy to configure. The A4Tech Bloody mouse has software that is confusing. The Logitech and Corsair software is pretty straight-forward. I think now that we have to have multiple profiles with multiple DPI settings per profile that some type of software is necessary. But when the software is bad or just weird and vague it just makes me want to not use it all. In other words, I'll just use the stock profiles and stock dpi settings it ships with.

A5: Cables. Do you mean the exterior sleeving or the actual cable material? If it is just exterior I'll tell you what I have worked on lately that has become pretty popular. Kevlar. Its tough as nails, it doesnt have dust stick to it like other paracord type sleeving material. And its weave plus the make-up of the kevlar itself seems to make it more flexible. While most braided cables are nice they sometimes need a lot of time to be trained to being straight after taking out of the package. Kevlar will allow it to return to straight cable immediately after unboxing. If you would like, I can send you some kevlar cables I did for mice and keyboards (and I have a few other select parts made from resin cast kevlar as well). Current project is CPU block bracket for EKWB made from kevlar. It should be done soon pretty soon

I can elaborate on Q3 more if you tell me what details you are referring to regarding sensors. Thanks for the chance to be a part of the giveaway!

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
- I only use wireless mice but if I had to choose it should be something very thin. It could be anything as long as it can't be felt while dragging the mouse.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?
Soft, thin, detachable.
Then anyone can choose whether to braid it, and if yes - what material and whether full-length or only the spots under stress.
 
#22 ·
Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

I think both ergo & ambi can be equally good as long as it's done right. It's easy to find out the most popular choice in both ergo (for example, Razer DAs, some Zowies) and ambi (for example, Logitech G100 or perhaps SS Sensei). Follow these basic shapes, make further fine adjustments, and you should be good.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

Gaming - CS:GO, Tomb Rider series, Metro series.. all 3 buttons (LMB, RMB, scroll wheel - default configuration on all games)
Daily work - 5 buttons, I set the extra thumb buttons to PageUp & PageDown to do quick scroll (I need to mention this, as most of us use our mouse for working as well)

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

Preferably 3360, however 3310 is OK for budget option.

Q4: Is additional software for mouse a must in your opinion?

First, user must be able to set up his/her mouse without a software, across different operating systems. That is important.
Next, it's not a must, but software is a big plus. Like what others said, software is good because users can do more fine tuning. And when you provide software, make sure:
- It covers all the mouse' basic functionalities.
- It's user friendly / good UX. Nobody wants to go 3 level deep only to turn off the mouse light.
- Not a bloatware sucking on system resource.
- Not a priority, but if possible, available in multiple popular OS.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

I personally choose rubber, but again, both rubber and braided can be equally good as long as they're done properly. Besides, if you look at it, it doesn't matter if it's rubber or braided: most users just want something flexible, lightweight, and durable. It's that SIMPLE

Q1: What do you think was the best shape for gaming mouse released in 2016?

For me personally, Zowie FK1+ is the best of last year, I just wish it had a better sensor, coating, and scroll wheel.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

M1/M2. Use Mouse 4 for melee in most games, and generally assign some function to pushing M3.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

PMW 3360

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Not a must, but I do like to experiment with different settings. Also, I like to turn off the lighting if possible.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

Zowie cable.

The two best shapes for me were the Razer Deathadder/Steel Series Rival and the Mionix Castor. Both shapes fit my hand well, and I don't have to worry about the handling of the mouse at all.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

The max number of buttons I find myself using is 5:

Titanfall 2- Standard button layout (for Titanfall 2)
The Division: Side Button 1= Melee, Side Button 2= Health Pack, Scroll Wheel = Change Weapon

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

PMW3366 or PMW 3360

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Software isn't must, but it is definitely nice to have. I like to tweak my dpi, lift off distance and such, and having some sort of sortware control to aid in that is always welcome.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?


I am not too picky about cables, but I think I most like a rubberized cable with good flexibility. I do not like stiff and stubborn cables that inhibit movement.

Didnt try many new mice in 2016. Liked the g403 but it was too short and narrow for my big hands.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?
M1, M2, Mwheelup / down, M3, M4, M5

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

Definitely love the feel of the 3366

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

Only if it has RGB lights that i'll want to configure.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

I like how light zowie's cables are. I barely feel them. Loved the 403 wireless feeling though. not being trapped by a chord was awesome. Shape just didn't work for me.

I've always been partial to the feel of the Deathadder - although I wish they'd come out with a heavier version.

Q2: How many mouse buttons do you use while playing your favorite game (please list your favorite game and mouse buttons you use along with their functions)?

2 when I'm playing FPS and strategy style games (Doom, Fallout 4, Civ) and 17 (Naga) when I'm playing an MMO - I'd probably use more because you can never have enough key-binds but I don't think they exist.

Q3: What sensor would you like to put in your perfect mouse? (The ones that are already on the market)

I don't know if it would make my perfect mouse but I've always preferred the 3988 in my DA 2013.

Q4: Does additional software for mouse is a must in your opinion?

I rarely bother installing it.

Q5: If you could choose cable for mouse what would it be?

I like a soft braided cable.
