Steelseries Ikari

by duKe_ • 5 Mar 2008, 09:16 • Journals
Iam thinking about to buy a new Mouse, my favorite for the new choice is clearly the Steelseries Ikari mouse and there the Optical version cuz its bit better for lowsense/-skill :) [Link]. So i would ask if someone got already the Laser or Optical version?

My old mouse is the allmighty MX 510 and its still running after more than 2 1/2 hardcore ET gaming ;]

(but the friction is a bit wicked cuz its almost completly "shave" down-under) :D

Feel free to post your oppinion, maybe also about other mouses.

lul @ pic ^^

Well, i was thinking about that too but the most test's say that the ergonomic of the Ikari is like the MX Series but the Optical CPI (DPI) is better to set up and it dont need any drivers. ( Specially if you are a bit older, i know you understand, you are very happy about everything what gonna run from itself xD )

i know what u mean
drivers of MX518 r the best i ever had...task manager says it takes only bout 10MB of your mem but gives u plenty of options ... not comparable with the old, crappy setpoints!
my tip: @ enlarged it is possible to test all imaginable combinations of mice&pads ;)

how better do you really think a mouse can get than those already availiable on the market today

many people are still more than happy with their 1.1a intellimouse that are around 5 years old, same for their 3.0's and mx 518's

just bear that in mind before you buy an overpriced mouse

I've tested mouses for a long time, and ikari was first one to me that felt better than razer db, so I'm using ikari optical atm.

Apart from its shape, it's kinda ownage mouse

I need 40cm for 300degrees, and atm I use Qpad CT lowsense

with razer db I used xtrac hybrid, but qpad is better for ikari imo
