R.A.T. 7

[Aidan]

If it slides use 3M double sided sticky tabs. I put that shit on everything I own.

Isn't the Xai more so for ambidextrous folks? At least that's what Ive heard in a bunch of reviews. I'm liking the Anti-sweat layer/comfort of the Ikari.

Do you palm? Or claw?

Well... when [streak bb code]you break your G15[/streak bb code] your g15 breaks, get a merc stealth. I love the button placement, and it also has a dedicated game pad which I also love.

[James]

i do both

[Aidan]

Xai's sounds good for that then.

[James]

Yes, I'm leaning towards either though. I haven't actually touched the Ikari so I don't know what it's like. My friend has the Xai and it's pretty baller.

[Aidan]

From what I hear, if you take your hand and press it into a brick of butter, it's supposed to feel the same. With grip though (and anti-sweat).

Xai is still really comfortable though, and has more buttons :/

I got the Laser Ikari only because I play with higher sensitivity. It wasn't too much more expensive anyway.

[James]

im using your bad thread to post about stuff i've done!!!

got a new desk thank fuck and managed to get sticky tabs from brother for keyboard. everything seems much easier than on a wobbly steel glass desk yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

also ordered a free custom mousemat (had to activate facebook for this lmao) from artscow. i was shitting myself because i realised printed pictures might be shit so i entirely FUCKED (as in murdered) with it using lighting, contrast and colouring for my bayonetta picture for it to use true colours, but i think i fucked it up and ordered it regardless. aaaaaaaaaaaaaa and it might turn out shit. will post when it comes here next week or something.

Well it's productive

I'm still using a shit glass/steel desk. I'll get a wood L desk in the summer, but I'm not in a hassle atm.

Also, I'm installing ENB mods on games and eating Maltesers.
Also, I'm in your country in about 14 days.
Also, sticky tabs are the shit.
Also, PS3 da best

So I was talking to people on overclock.net, and the 5600dpi IS in fact used. Be it not by a majority, but those with wrist/hand problems need mouses with high sensitivity, for them to play games comfortably / avoid (sharp) pains.

This was some pretty neat info, so I thought id post it.

SteelSeries Xai Laser £57
SteelSeries Ikari Laser £40

SteelSeries Xai Laser £57
SteelSeries Ikari Laser £40

Yeah I know, but they were saying they use all 5600dpi :/

Here's a good question for them: how good are they at games.

Oh they probably suck.. But if they have wrist problems, and have adjusted to 5600dpi, they could be decent at games.

As long as they have fun <3

Ikari ftw.


ms paint and opinions ftw

Any list with the MX518 that low is a troll-list or just outright bad

Seconded. I prefer optical.

[James]

I only posted that image for the stupid tier.

[Aidan]

gon play missing link 2nite baked out of mi mind




dubstep

[ynnaD]

i thought i seen one of these in work i was like AMAGAD

i was mistaken

[Aidan]

I'd like to mention that the middle button on my ikari has broke and now clicks approx. 7 times for every one press.


My RAT is still flawless.

[James]

How common do they break like this?, does it weigh out the use comparison of either?

[Aidan]

The scrollwheel also squeaks now :/

RAT 7 is now officially better than Ikari.

I still use my Ikari though because it fills my entire palm.

[Psychotic]

Any general consensus on what's better between Razer, SteelSeries and the classic Logitech?

Got mah good ol' MX518, absolute beauty of a beast but I was thinking of getting something with MOAR BUTTONS because of arr pee gees.

[James]

Can only see Steelseries having better hardware recently than everyone else, and Logitech having the best software.

[Psychotic]

One thing I can say about SteelSeries: I hate their buggy website. I can barely get on it and, when I do, the entire layout is bugged as all hell!

[James]

I wasn't familar with that on my last visit (February 2011), I'll have a look at it.

[Psychotic]

Seems to be mostly the US site. I get testimonials all over the backgrounds of the content.

Your picture James helped me buy a new mouse after my lolrazer naga broke for no reason <2 years after buying. Not buying razer again jesus.

Granted adapting to games I've been playing with that many side buttons is gonna take a while but still, got a £28 steelseries.

[Aidan]

I have my 1year mfg. warranty for my Ikari.. So I might switch back to the RAT when I send it out.

I have no other complains about the mouse other than the shit scroll wheel. I'm hoping this is just one of those production line 'quirk' type-of-situation.
