It was $70 for NSW who could go to Auburn a while back. I personally got it for $90 after stacking Cash rewards, TGG store promo, latitudepay, and another flash deal TGG bonus.
Yea this same one from Kogan was also a decent price with the Latitude promo (and $5 off on the app). $94 after both.
Which shop at Auburn?
TGG
Grey import lol.
Grey import… from Kogan.
This is tempting, they finally got the 'master' series down to a decent input delay….. It's no 1ms beast, but it's easily competitive for a casual gamer (even for FPS) now.
16 ms, wireless; which is in line with most entry level gaming mice. and only 1ms slower than the benchmark Intelimouse Optical 1.1 at 15ms.
It's considered the benchmark, because there are STILL pro gamers who learned to FPS on them, and use them heavily.
Why is an old mouse made for office users considered the benchmark? Aren't there better benchmarks that that?
Nope. There are better mice, but no better benchmark.
It was one of the first affordable optical mice, and to this day still has the highest sales record for a single model.
Its also one of the few mice that can be significantly overclocked to high polling rates.
When comparing products, the highest selling example is usually the most ideal benchmark.
If people were able to set standing world records for thing like quake3a and UT using these, then they continue to be adequate to reference.
Worth not, if you ever toured around at all, to compete or even spectate many esports, they're still common in a lot of FPS leagues throughout europe, and korea.
If you're keen enough to be talking esports, i strongly recommend a tour to at least spectate several once borders are open.
Its an amazing time, especially if you're a writer and can leverage your experience as an income selling articles, or a gambler and follow the leagues closely (TAB locally also accept bets on a few leagues these days too!)
Anyway, regardless of its pedigree, and continued popularity at pro level, the highest selling anything for its use case, is usually the best benchmark.
The issue is more to do with the ~100hz polling rate.
DPI and latency aside, its VERY steppy, not at all smooth, and handles micro-adjustments terribly.
It's very much not usable for FPS. 1000Hz is the standard for all mice these days, which while admittedly overkill, is far closer to an acceptable number than 100.
Yeah good call.
It's not quite as grim a picture as you paint, because it's not up to 100hz like you say, it IS locked at 125hz (standard USB polling); but thats still not ideal.
Anywhere up to 500hz is very benefficial. Lots of pros are known to slow down their 1000hz mice to 500hz because even on the 'best' hardware, there's some controller level buffering that can happen at 1000hz (seen as a tiny micro-skip of a cm or so). It might only happen once every few dozen hours, but at pro level, thats not OK.
I am using this and G305, and I fell steppy is a less issue comparing to the size and weight when it is used for gaming.
it is too heavy, and bulky to move around in the game where requires swift move.
but it is great for office use, with plenty support and buttons, the wheels are great to stroll around.
Probably rather pay the extra 10 bucks ans get it off amazon
Exactly. How much is our time worth? $10 well spent.
Damn this mouse and it's never dropping price. I will have you one day… when the 3S is already out 😔
