Gaming Mice and Crossfire?

ech07

So I have heard the Deathadder and Lachesis are pretty sweet gaming mice. I'm probably going to purchase the 3g adder or a lachesis (while they are still just 30$ on amazon!). Yeah, I'm poor. Not really. Just cheap. At least when it comes to gaming.

So I have questions for you knowledgeable forum prowlers

I have heard a rumor (remember I'm pretty much new to this "gaming mouse concept") that one can program a combination of keys or clicks into one click?

For example. I could theortically program a side button on the mouse to execute a *right click, left click, press key "2"*, which would be a quick scope and switch to secondary, into one simple click of a side button?

sorry if the above was complicated.

Is there a substantial learning curve on gaming mice compared to average dell mice? What will be the first thing i notice about a lachesis or deathadder? Are they worth buying? Will they increase my ability to play in alpha seven?

So what other nifty and snazzy stuff can a gaming mouse (lachesis or deathadder) do?

Thanks

i am on the same position as you... i am using a standard dell mouse and am thinking of getting a gaming mosue for new years. don't really care as long as i feel comfortable playing with it. atm i play with 100% sensitivty but low dpi. idk what to do

mx518 is all you need... mouse doesn't matter

ech07

but can these mice use key combinations like the one i posted as an example?

and the biggest difference going from a standard mouse to a gaming mouse would be..?

the biggest difference is the DPI which helps alot for gaming, your aiming is way more accurate with a gaming mouse. Remember that you will have to turn your in-game sensitivity down with a gaming mouse.

Really doesn't matter which mouse you use. What you use is what you're used to, just get better with it.

And Yes you can. It's an illegal move in gaming leagues. It's referred to different names in different games, but its cheating in games such as CS 1.6 and DoD 1.3

I have my in-game sensitivity set to 0 with 3500 DPI (using Deathadder).

Wow, its only 30 bucks? I think ill buy another

400 dpi 50 in game sens. I bought a steel series mouse with 3600 dpi and 0 in game sens. I hated it.

Returned it and came back to my baby.

Is programming multiple actions into one click illegal in crossfire?
and the first place I found the idea was on a CS forum.

yeah, the lachesis is like 35$ on amazon.. the wraith red version.

You do the dirty work



To OP: I suggest you grab the DA or Lachesis (both good options). The stock price is around 55-60 dollars. For the DA that is

Grab the Lachesis.

Turn up your DPI, turn down your in game sens.

Profit.

Quick question.


How do you go about cleaning the lenses/LED of the mouse?

Scared to touch anything.

ech07

So higher DPI and lower ingame is better for aiming compared to a low dpi and high ingame?

if so, would you mind elaborating?

Thanks ^^

Use a q tip, thats it. More importantly, keep the surface that you're mousing on clean.

DPI is basically how sensitive your mouse is.

The physical moment of the mouse will always be more accurate than the artificial translation.
