New mouse (is awesome)

by urkelo • 5 Oct 2010, 09:23 • Journals
Already lovin' my new http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Mice/ROCCAT-Kova/ <3
My old mx518 served me well for 5 years but the optic sensor was just too old and I wasn't able to turn around very fast with a lower sens since the mouse couldn't track any fast movements. Only now I realise how much being able to turn fast with a lower sens can improve your gaming. +I highly recommend this mouse for anyone considering to buy a new one, the sensor is excellent and it feels nice + is simple to use with no driver software, just plug and play.

P.S. not to mention my new http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Accessories/ROCCAT-Apuri/ and http://www.roccat.org/Products/Gaming-Mousepads/ROCCAT-Sense/. The three work perfectly together. Thanks Roccat<3

retarded shape
and LMAO at your placebo, mx518 has the SAME sensor as kova
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:17
read my journal again. I bought my mx atleast, if not more than 5 years ago and trust me. The sensor is not the same.
Parent
▼
spiROZE 5 Oct 2010, 11:18
then it was probably broken, mx518 is the best shit I've ever tried sensorwise
Parent
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:21
Im not putting mx518 down. I just wanted to try something new.
Parent

spiROZE 5 Oct 2010, 11:22
"The sensor is not the same. "

You implied that the kova has a better sensor since your journal is about cheering up the kova mouse but as h8m3 says it apparently has the same sensor :D
Parent
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:25
Im pretty sure the sensor in mx has improved and developed quite a bit since the time I bought mine so you cant really call the sensor in my old MX had the same as in Kova
Parent
▼
spiROZE 5 Oct 2010, 11:27
I don't think that h8m3 can be wrong about smth like that, he knows alot about this kinda stuff :)

Probably your mx518 was just broke and that's why it didn't move smooth anymore
Parent
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:28
Well atleast the max dpi that MX can provide has gone up since the time I bought mine so there has to be SOME change.
Parent

spiROZE 5 Oct 2010, 11:29

Dylon 5 Oct 2010, 11:36
using kone long time now, amezing mouse.one thing that was fuccked up was scroll.but in new kone[+] they already eliminated it.logitech win vs roccat only cos they have better guarancy.
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:40
I thought about Kone[+] for a while but it seemed a little expensive and I have my doubts with lasers I just went with Kova. And like I stated before, I'm not putting logitech or mx down at all, it's an excellent mouse and if I ever need to buy a mouse again I prolly will get another mx but I just really wanted to try something new for a change since change is fun. So far no disappointments :))

MX518 is plug and play too? :P And does the job perfectly, just don't use stupid sens *_*
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 11:45
Well either my mouse was just old and outdated or broken, but I couldnt turn around fast since it wouldnt track the fast movement. Nothing to do with sens really. I'm not gonna start playing with uber high sens because I cant duel with that..
Parent

Panda 5 Oct 2010, 11:53
Not sure then. I'm using default win sens, no setpoint and sens 2.6 in game and can easily turn 360 in ~12cm. Not sure what you was getting :P
Parent
▼
slajdan 5 Oct 2010, 11:58
he means fast movments over long distances, more like ~40-50cm for 360, atleast that what I think he means since I got same problem.
Parent
▼
urkelo 5 Oct 2010, 12:00
I can turn fine.. just not fast. If I pull my mouse left or right real quick the sensor wont track the movement. If i put my sens real high then I can turn fast but it's not comfortable otherwise.

Tried a diff in_dgamouse? I had a similar issue on linux a while ago with a 'delayed' turning.

i bet u just didnt set ur usb to a proper polling rate...
Parent

slajdan 5 Oct 2010, 12:00
how does he do that? :-o
Parent
▼
FiLuS 5 Oct 2010, 12:05
there are few programs to do that, I just remember that my old mx518 was set to 125Hz by default and I had to dload use mouse rate changer to have 500hz, nothing complicated, few clicks, reboot and it was done (later when i switched to sp3 i had to dload some updated version and go to safe mode, but thats np too). Newer mice dont require such procedure, but old mx518 needs it

slajdan 5 Oct 2010, 12:28

It's not as lightweight as some other mice and the mousefeet wear down faster.

That mouse looks good but as you see here is fashion and cool to say MX518 is the best mouse and is not!

Is outdated, sensi feels weird being an optical mouse and movement is not as smooth as it should be, there are many other better mouses, I have an MX518, bought it one year ago after reading all the trolls here saying it was the best.

Cyber Snipa is the best mouse I had and I will probably get it again, or any other mouse similar to the one you posted, much better options than the overrated MX518.
