Puretrak Talent

image: talent_topview

Really want this mousepad! But i can't find it anywhere in NL, only in Belgium but they ask 15 euro's for shipping it to NL, which is really high :/ (40 EUR in total)

Anyone else got one? What is your opinion about it and does anyone know where i can get it?

Also i need a new mouse since my DeathAdder shuts down after 10 mins of use. Tried reinstalling th edrivers but that won't do it. Think about a new DA, g400 or g500 but other tips are welcome.

Thanks!

random mousepad + g400 = win
Hm i liked my razer goliathus speed better when it was new but the awsome thing about talent is that it does not wear out. I am using mine for over a year and its still good while every other pad i used was crap after that period of time.

As for mouse i am in the same position as you and i'd advice you to take a look at zowie am.
Yeah i got the same with my qck+, got it for about 2 years now. And it's totally worn out :P

U mean the ZOWIE AM-GS Pro?
Parent
There are 2 version of this mouse am (full rubber) and gs (it has glossy sides) so its up to you what coating you prefer.Some mice have a bug that causes problems when clicking both mouse1 and mouse2 in the same time but the sensor in it is probably the best one on the market atm.
Parent
wat sensor is it???

is it the same sensor as in the zowie ec?
Parent
avago 3090, ec uses 3060
Parent
ok, thx for info is there any other mouse with same sensor?
Parent
yeah cm xornet but its shape is awful :D
Parent
got it !
i head it has fast delivery :) you only have to wait a year till it arrives :) mad? :):)
Parent
buy steelseries ikari (by far good enough for ET) + puretrack talent/steelseries qck+

why ikari and not xai or sensai

ikari = cheaper and it's a great mouse (i have 1 myself, dont use it tho due to my preference to Xai's shape(big hands, ikari is smaller in size)
It has a dodgy sensor though!
Parent
agree, BUT that's due to (all steelseries mice) being very sensitive to dust etc. sometimes it randomly skips(i have same with xai) cause a small dust thingy ends up in the sensor, fixed by simply picking the mouse up and putting it down again :D
Parent
Its because of their sensor choice though. Also, I don't believe there is any need for laser mice.
Parent
ikari is optical (or atleast the one i have, they might have made a new version with laser)
Parent
Yeah, but i'm talking about the state of the mouse market in general. Razer, SS and Logitech all prefer the laser mice these days, but I don't comprehend why. Lower, stable sensors should be in mind.
Parent
well, I think the problem here is that it's all about 'better', faster, and mainly higher numbers in DPI as if that is better.

http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/gaming_mice/avatar_s im testing this atm and it has the old Razer deathadder sensor (from the 1800dpi version) with a best performance rating at 400dpi.
Parent
lol how did you get the information that it has the old da sensor (best sensor ever :D?).
Parent
I've had alot of contact with the company, for #ONEMOVE.ESO stuff. Got me some inside information aswell :D
Parent
I find it hard to belive bcoz the sensor used in da was only made for razer and it had 1800dpi.
Parent
thought the same, but they told me it's pretty much the same(theyve done some modification but the base is from the old da)
Parent
Looks interesting though I don't like the look of the shape. Shape I find the most important thing for me as it will be comfortable for hours if you know what to pick.
Parent
yea shape is most important idd, hence im using a Xai for my actual playing cause it fits my hand perfectly(no strains when ive done 6/7 hours straight of pc time, and im using highsens!)

actually the shape of the avatar mouse looks weird and uncomfy, but its actually quite nice, only problem i had so far is when u move it fast sometimes the bottom gets stuck(im using cloth pad, so might not be a problem with hard plastic pads or solid topping pads such as talent)
Parent
yup, agree with that, sometimes also a simple blow onto the sensor is needed
Parent
There's basically no mouse out there without any flaws, especially the new ones seem to be even worse than the old ones :-D

Gotta say the Zowie AM looks interesting though! Too bad it's way too expensive with 60e
Parent
Indeed, back on the IME3 now, can't stand the prediction of the 518 and the DA gives me god awful cramp!
Parent
The old MS mice would totally rock if they come with a built in 500hz (or even 1000hz) polling rate. At 125hz they are pretty much garbage, unless you use a pretty high sens. The shape of the IMO, IME and WMO are still superior to all modern mice (love those abbrevations :D)
Parent
i heard the zowie EC mice are quite nice aswell, im testing a nzxt mouse( http://www.nzxt.com/new/products/gaming_mice/avatar_s ) atm and i have to say, besides its dodgy look(it looks uncomfortable at first glance) buts its very nice when using it
Parent
YES AMBIDEXTROUS YES
Parent
Zowie Am performs nicely, was a bit too big for my hand though. Should be good for someone who likes the imo 1.1 though.
Parent
Yep, saw some comparision pictures of both and even a review of someone that was used to the 1.1.
I would have probably bought it if it was out 2-3 years ago. No need for it today.
Back then they decided to build in some stupid lasers and tons of glowing shit instead of concentrating on the actual performance of the mouse :-(
Parent
Zowie tend to do a decent job on mice, except the scroll wheel. On my third cause it keeps breaking :(
Parent
Tried a xai once, really didn't like the feel of it
Parent
yea ofc it comes down to feeling in the end :P, there are enough players with an old 1.0 or 1.1 ime mouse due to them just being awesome forthem :D
Parent
Been using it since summer 2009 perhaps? Great pad and has lasted very well. However, I now need to ensure that it has a good clean as it a little dirty.

I used to have tokens to take some money off the price, but it is invalid now. Try emailing and asking for one perhaps?

Tried 518, DA and WMO/IME1.1/IME3.0 on it and all work fine. Sidewinder did too.
sent them a mail :P Just have to wait and see i guess, otherwise i'll just but it for 40 EUR.
