anyone knows where to get such a tool ?Quote:
My recommendation is to set the USB rate to 500Hz for these mice, but using a USB tool that only affects the port that has the mouse plugged in.

At present you cant compare a Wireless mouse whit others, same as you cant compare a professional gaming mouse whit wireless, each have their own purpose (at least that's how I see it from my experience):
Wireless Mouse
Pros
-best for laptop especially when you travel a lot
-stands better at ergonomics since it has no wires
-good for a casual gamer (some people get used to that lag)
-good for office
-could be used as a remote
Cons
-It has some lag in games
-Some need batteries
--------------------------------------------------
Wire Mouse
Pros
-best for gaming (not all of them)
-high speed
-0 lag
-best control (accuracy)
Cons
-you have to get used to that wire
-not very practical
Since you really want to see a review whit MX1000, here:
Gaming Mouse Group Test (second one - not related to first).
It's not like the first - it wasn't made by a professional gamer, more like a casual if you ask me.Quote:
So what mice will we be looking at? We’ll be considering the explosion of colour that is the Saitek GM3200; the old stalwart of the wireless gamer the MX 1000; the Razer Krait designed for RTS’ers; the small but powerful Logitech G3 and finally Creative Fatal1ty's 1010 pro-gamer mouse. It’s a broad range of mice that all aim to fill slightly different niches.

thanks
i changed my rate to 500, hope i will notice anything while playing BF2 :)
EDIT:
i am using a logitech mx510
hehe.. I am going to go home and put my mx510 back on and try it @ 250/500.. maybe I'll retire the G7.. :)
It's not OC'ing the mouse, it's increasing the USB port's polling rate so it can keep up with the mouse. Most new mice advertise 1000Hz/1ms, but by default XP limits the USB ports to 125Hz/8ms so people download tools to increase this to 500 or 1000.Quote:

PS.I didn't used no tool for OC-ing, I used an HEX editor by knowing the values for each rate.
If you have a Razer Mouse you can change the Rate from "Advanced Driver Control"

THIS REVIEW WAS AWESOME!!! too bad I already bought my mouse 5 days before I got a chance to read this.
I bought the wrong mouse, lol...well it's still decent, but I have the G5. I'm starting to wish that I bought the Razer Diamondback, and after reading the review, I'm glad I did not get the Razer Copperhead(was very close).
I think I might actually go out and buy a Diamondback now, MX5xx looks intriguing too, but I admit, as "ergonomic" as the molding is, I find it bulky for my tastes, I like the Razer's body design better, and I like how it's easy to move around with your finger thumb and pinky across the pad, instead of gripping the whole thing.
I'm just getting back into gaming...FPS...oh man..my Q2 days are coming back.
Just sold my Razer D. two weeks ago - I can't stand those side buttons, had it for some time (about 2 years) but couldn't get used to that flaw in design :( - I have a cheap Logitech as a replacement but this doesn't do, I might buy Razer Krait (No side buttons) since I'm used to it, or maybe a Logitech MX510, but Razer has the best drivers and that's a big plus ;)
Maybe you can try a new DeathAdder? I'm not sure how they are, but on paper they look fine....
Until I know for sure that it doesn't skips - I'll let others try it.:DQuote:

The side buttons are a little weird, and take a while to get used to as well. The ones on the left side are entirely useless because you can't operate them with your pinkie (unless you have some sort of a magical 4 inch long pinkie finger).Quote:

Coincidentially, does anyway know a fix for that? Also, how can I flash it to new firmware? I downloaded the new drivers which say they have the new firmware, but I can't figure out how to do it :(.
Try and play 1.6 without a Wireless then you will notice the difference.Quote:

Logitech G7 Special Edition - Same as the G5 but Wireless.
Logitech MX Revolution - I use this as my browsing and every day usage Mouse, THE best bar none for its purpose.
RAZER Diamondback Magma - What can I say, a fantastic mouse, great feel/hold, sensitivity does not feel any different to that of the G5/7 and it looks fantastic - I use this mouse when I game.
Side buttons are inactive so I haev no comment for that area.
Well, thats my short sentence view. :D

So I'm getting the feeling that the MX500 overclocked is still the best choice... First question: should I really do away with my G7 and fall back to the 510 or the 518?
Second question: is the MX510 better than the MX500 b/c I didn't see the 510 in the ESR article (I think it's 800dpi vs 400dpi, but again the 510 wasn't in the review, so I still don't know). I know it's not all about dpi, but I really want an answer b/c if both mice are the same shape and the 500 is better, then I'll just go buy that and give my 510 to my cousin.
Thx. :)
Its not worth.."back in time" to pick up a mouse that is a little better at all, continue with your G7 and wait some nice wireless ...i know its coming :D
Here is the question though. Which one did you like the best?Quote:

I've said it many times. MX518!
U owned all these mice and u still seeking an advice on what's the best...? :stick:Quote:

maybe the noobs are getting better, but i'm beginning to think it COULD be the G7... altho i LOVE the mouse. now, i sold my 518 like the day before i read this ESR review, so all i got left @ home now is the mx610, mx510, and the G7... i know the 610 isn't a gamer, so i must now choose between the G7 and the 510... according to the review, the 510 was the best when overclocked... maybe i'll OC it, but i've never OCed a USB port b4 (i'm sure it's nothing compared to what i've already done these days).
i was just trying to understand the differences between the G5, G7, 500, 510, and 518... cuz it's almost always apples to oranges, and i cannot distinguish.
