Cyber Snipa or Logitech G7

[Ronyx]

Yep, it's me again =]

This time it's mice =D

I'm going for the Logitech right now based on the look of the mouse and how they've made the shape. But I'm a little put back because of the thread that was started about the Snipa mouse and how many of you guys said that it was awesome.

I'm still most likely going to go with the G7 because of the way the mouse fits into your hand nicely but I'd like to hear what you guys think (as usual :redface: )

Simon, i hope you've got some more feedback left in ya for this one lolz.

Although the Cyber Snipa in practice supports a higher resolution of 2400dpi what it does with it also counts so the Cyber Snipa won't have that much of an advantage over the G7's 2000dpi.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Opinion: If I was gonna get a mouse I would get the G7 as it is cordless and comes in a great package. But if you are a lefty or you like bling then get the Cyber Snipa.

Hope this helps I have more where that came from. Any more questions ask me.

"Manufacturers generally use the term "dpi," which is inappropriate here because we're not talking about dots per inch. Instead, it's the number of measurements the mouse can register over a given distance that counts. The more measurements you take, the more precise the instantaneous positioning will be. But at the same time, the speed of the mouse increases. This has several repercussions in terms of use. First of all, you go to the spot you want to go to faster by moving the mouse less. The trade-off is that any movement, however infinitesimal, will be detected, which can actually work against preciseness. And to make things just a little more complicated, the resolution of the mouse also depends on the resolution of the monitor. If you increase screen resolution for a given mouse resolution, the movement will be longer."

my dad has a thing against anything wireless so now i'm probably going to get the G5. it's pretty much the exact same mouse without the wireless design.

It is to do with the resolution of the mice and how sensitive they are.
