dream mouse: im really happy with the g500, fits my hand really comfortably, though i guess id like one of those small steelseries mice, for when i want to really lowsens something; or even a low razer mouse for playing mobas/RTS games
dream pad: already have it; i like the durability and texture of it - its really smooth and soft but not up to the point where it would be slippery; also ive used it for over a year and it shows absolutely no signs of wear, if anything, it has become better, smoother. just needs the occasional washing/ironing (yeah i iron my mousepad, badass.jpeg)
settings: 6/11 800 2.60 500Hz
anything more you want to leave about mice: what ive noticed at myself: i use a palm grip while playing fps games (ET/cod games/killing floor/quake 3&live/) and a claw grip while playing HoN (clickclickclick), so id rather have a low-profile razer mouse for rts/moba games and an ergonomic-shaped mouse like my g500 for fps games, or a small mouse like the steelseries ones

settings: 450 dpi / 1000 hz / wcafix / 2.4 sens / m_pitch 0.022 / m_filter 1
anything more you want to leave about mice: jitters when moving up and down on a lot of pads. theres a topic on ESReality.com about which pads work with the mouse. not steelseries qck or most other pads i tried. Goliathus rarely jitters.
price: 45 euro ( i think )

anything more you want to leave about mice: For me the IME 3.0 is a bit too big and the DA was a bit too small.
Both were too heavy, but the WMO is too light for me. Something inbetween would be perfect.
~2000dpi is more than you'll ever need.
Laser sensors and wireless mice suck. If you disagree you suck, too :D
