maybe you should make another thread for keyboards. but anyway, i don't really know what kind of issues a keyboard can have, except for a general low build quality. just check a few reviews online and you should be good to go.

chibi leave it open for now. i'll use it for a couple of days. if i have any probs i'll post them for anybody who happens to be looking for the same info.

weak statement. One of their keyboards (Lycosa) I purchased had instant problems and is just broke atm, sometimes keys don't work and the media panel goes apeshit and switches songs and turns down volume etc. So think about what you said (I also had to send back a mouse from Razer which stopped working a half a year after purchase, some buttons just didn't work, they had to replace it)

So far I just got a functional Deathadder, didn't die for a while and it was a little too big for me at first, but after a while I got used to it and it's good imo. (I just hope it won't die too early like the other prods, not sure though)

i had forgotten about this thread.

Desertt Eagle Neither of the two mice you mentioned fulfill the criteria i set out, and recommending a particular mouse in general without taking into consideration the playing style and preference is a bad idea.

Now, just a quick overview of my experience with the Abyssus (fingertip grip, ambidextrous, using with Razer Goliathus Speed Edition, at 1800dpi, 1000Hz) :
1. Jitter: None during gameplay, bare minimum if i test in mspaint. (its a bit worse at 3500dpi, but nowhere near as bad as you'll find people complaining about in forums on the web).

2. No switch setting between 450dpi(too low) and 1800dpi(too high), so had to set windows sensitivity lower. after that, handles perfectly.

3. Lift distance: HUGE. LD was around 4-4.5mm. Apparently this is a common problem with Razer mice, but luckily easily fixable. Reduced it to 1.5-2mm by putting scotch tape over sensor.

4. As far as the shape and grip go, its a perfect fit for my hand.

5. I bought it for only 32USD, so that's a big plus.

In conclusion, the mouse is awesome.

BTW, this mouse also uses the same sensor as the latest DA, so the tracking is pretty much the same. But like I said before, I tried the DA and I didnt like it, didnt suit my style.

So, as far as the point of the thread goes, figure out what kind of grip you have(palm,fingertip,claw) and what kind of mouse you want(ergo/ambi), check the hardware specs(prediction,acceleration,dpi/cpi,polling rate etc.) and dont just buy something because someone else says its awesome.

Razer vs. SS: I found that the Razer website is much more detailed in its explanations of different mice types and how to choose one and so on. SS, meanwhile, have no mouse in this price range that I can compare the Abyssus to (the Kinzu doesnt count; it has prediction and acceleration).

PS: YuasuWhy do you always write in bold? It's like you're always shouting. Please stop yelling. People read normal text just as well; better actually.
