So according to Amazon E-3blue which is an Chinese(maybe Japanese?) company makes pretty good gaming mouses for dirt cheap. The cobra has a ton of reviews on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Cobra-E-3lue-Precision-Control-1600dpi/dp/B005CPGHAA/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1361485169&sr=1-1-fkmr0&keywords=e-3lue+mazer.

I went to the E-3blue site and I saw they have the "Maze" which in my opinion it looks better(more DPI and the design looks more comfortable), but it has only like 3 reviews on amazon....(they are good reviews), but makes me wonder which one is better?

Have in mind that these are -25$ mouses.

It really amazes me that the cobra has so many good reviews and the maze has hardly a few reviews... perhaps it's a new mouse? Which one should I go for?

the maze is new. depends on your preference. if my current mouse died and i only could afford one of those it would be the maze since it has a similar build to my rat5 and would fill my hand more

Have you tried it already? What really bugged was that I hardly found any review and the Cobra has so many reviews, even on youtube. But if it's relative new I can understand why.

I have now ordered this mouse expect a review on it when i get it.

That Cobra looks a lot like the Diamondback/Copperhead shape, which is great IMO. But I didn't see any info about the sensor, does anyone know which is used here?

 

[Vikhr]

some kind of pixart sensor i think

Assuming I've correctly identified which sub-variety of Cobra that is, it'll be an Avago 5050. Source.

The E-blue is meh. I have it as backup and would never use it as my everyday mouse. And the Foward/back buttons are less than ergonomic.

I mean it's obviously a low budget mouse... but it has outstanding reviews, for what it is. Right now I don't have the money to spend, not even 30$ on a mouse. So I really think E-3lue is my best bet for now.

Thank you guys for all the responses, I'm still not sure if I will be able to afford the Mazer... (yeah that's how broke I'm at the moment).

If anyone else has anything else to point out about these mouses, I will appriciate it. Thanks

Bumping this thread to start

 

[Blade 117]

Now for the important post.

I have received the mouse it took a little over two weeks to get to me in the US which is much better than the estimated month. I have begun testing and will post a link on this thread when doing the review in the future. Initial thoughts opening were decent packaging for a 25$ mouse and felt like could be a decent budget mouse

anyways look for the full review by next friday the 15th

 

[nitd_kim]

I ordered the mazer type R and it's suppose to come 2-4 days from now.

Nice review!

Have you done any objective tracking quality tests (line and spiral test for prediction and jitter, spot test for acceleration, CD test for lift-off distance, maybe enotus max control speed if you have enough space to move quickly) yet? It'd be interesting to see what kind of tracking quality the 5090 sensor can produce.

My thoughts exactly.

line test

Lol, I think you made a mistake with the dpi in Enotus

because if you can move your arm at 22 m/s then I'd advise you to join the Olympics.

 

[thorsteNN]

epic, too stronk swipes detected

 

[vibe123]

But isn't that equivalent to 5.5 m/s on 800 dpi or 2.7m/s on 1600 dpi?
