I notice a lot of discussion regarding this subject and how such and such mouse is no good because of having this trait.
I find it odd though, because I was under the impression mouse acceleration can be disabled on all mice with a simple reg edit, as well as turning off enhance pointer precision, is it somehow inherently built into the sensor of some mice, where no tricks can get rid of it?
For instance I see a lot of canning of certain mice for these reasons, sometimes jitter as well, but that doesn't effect me because I'm a low DPI type of guy, and just recently I read up on a discussion about the Steelseries Raw, there were a lot of complaints about the sensor, and certain things, such as the rubber surface (With my grip style, a sort of hybrid claw/palm, isn't an issue), the software and such, which granted is a personal thing and is completely legitimate, but what I find odd is the complaints about the sensor.
From my recent experience with it after tweaking it and using it in some FPS games, CS:S, CS:GO and BF3, once I tested it rather thoroughly I found it to be just as good, if not even better than say, the Zowie AM that I own, granted the LOD is slightly more, and the stock feet it came with are not the greatest (I'm planning on replacing them), its also a bit heavier than the AM, which doesn't bother me so much, it would be nice if it was a bit lighter, but for the most part, I found it about equal to the AM in terms of being able to consistently aim with it.
In fact I find it's pretty hard to discern the slight differences in quite a few mice that I have collected after tweaking them all and running them with the exact same DPI's and mice settings in CS:S (450DPI, 1000Hz, m_customaccel 0, m_rawinput 0, m_yaw 0.022, m_pitch 0.022, sensitivity 3, as well as -noforcemspd -noforcemparms -noforcemacce in the launch options).
To me it literally comes down to shape, feel, weight, how the feet glide on my mousepad and the feel of the wheel and buttons, I've yet to experience angle snapping (Though this can be a legitimate problem on select mice, but can also sometimes be turned off on some that have it), noticeable mouse acceleration, jittering after giving the mice the same tweaks, why do people seem to get so bent out of shape about something that as far as I know, is easily fixed?...
