I'm not sure if it's that I'm using a puretrak talent with it too. Reckon a flat black pad might yield better results? I know I could change sens so that it doesn't happen, I just don't really want to.

I'm so torn on whether to get this mouse or not. I think my current one is close to dead.

But people keep listing what seems like pretty big issues for me to consider making it a permanent thing. Maybe the Fk2 instead?

When does this thing release on places like Amazon for the U.S.? I can not preorder it on their website as it says "Sorry, no quotes are available for this order at this time." and I can't find it anywhere else.

Mine arrived today, mouse buttons are fine, there might be a tiny bit of travel on the right one before the switch starts going down, but you really have to look for it.
Switches on the main and side buttons feel fine and have decent feedback.
Wish the LOD was a bit lower because I was using an EC2 before but w/e.
Scroll wheel is ok, not the best one I've used, not the worst, the scroll click is decent aswell.
Really like the coating.
And if you didn't know already: This thing is light as fuck. If you are coming from a heavier mouse with huge mouse feet(like me), be prepared to flail your mouse around like a retard for the first few minutes.

Software is crashing for me aswell, been too lazy to look for a fix yet, is there one?

It just arrived back on Massdrop, so you can get it there if you're interested.

Got mine today, deffinately had to do some sensitivity tweaks as it is very light compared to other mice. I like the design of the mouse and the material. For the buttons I didn't really feel anything bad or misplaced and I like them a lot, maybe except some personal issues not being used to the M4 size and placement as I am using that button pretty often for push to talk but I'm sure it's minor. The only real problems I've noticed are with the mouse driver which doesn't update when I change settings then apply and crashes, guess it would be nice to have it fixed but not the most important thing.
Overall I am happy with the mouse and glad to have gotten it.

Does anyone else have a problem where their mouse1 gets stuck sometimes?

I got mine about a week ago but forgot to post about impressions:

-coming from a death adder and before that a g500, this thing is tiny/light, like close to being CM storm spawn tiny, which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it definitely takes some getting used to
-the build quality and well designed mouse drivers+util program+customization is very good, and very impressive considering the origins of the mouse
-=NITPICKING=-
-I feel like the left and right mouse buttons are a little small, like compared to the death adder they could take up more of the mouse and have less of the mouse chassis in the way
-The thumb area and mouse4/5 buttons could be a bit bigger/more ergonomic
-I really wish the mouse wheel was either just completely frictionless or had a toggle button like the g500
-The wire is not braided; it's a regular plastic wire and I had to buy a mouse bungee to solve issues with the wire dragging and affecting my mouse movement

all in all this is a very good mouse; assuming it does have a perfect sensor with no accel/grid snapping/smoothing, I'd definitely recommend it to any claw-style gamers
with some minor improvements/tweaks it could dethrone zowie of the number 1 best mouse makers

Here I am, still waiting on my preorder from October 9, 2014.

... goddamnit...

What are some good mouse cable management systems like a bungee, because I also have problems with the cord dragging a bit and affecting mouse movement. I would love some suggestions, preferably pretty cheap (like 10$).

Not as fancy as the Razer, Zowie, or CM one but it works perfectly for me.

lol i just use duct tape and attach it onto the wall behind my monitor and my movement is now not hindered by the cable. this is better if u wanna save some bucks

this is my setup for ref

works really well and I have no drag, I just measure it to be a little more than the furthest away I'd swipe or w/e

Finally got mine from massdrop today. I love the feel of this thing! It is a bit smaller than I thought it would be, but that isn't a concern at all. Will have to test with an actual FPS and not WoW

Just got mine from massdrop as well. I really like the feeling of the mouse and it really fits my hand well coming from g100s. +1

u guys recommend this for palm grip ?
I have big hands and use xtra low sens, like 40cm/360
And I´m using an intellimouse 3.0 for like the past 10 years ...

i dont have it but it looks like it meant for people with baby hands

I just got mine from the original pre-order today. Thought I'd be waiting well into 2015. Here's my impressions after 30mins.

I've only opened one of them so far, seems like a decent sample. I am having trouble rocket jumping with mouse2 jump, as other people have noticed. Jump triggers late half the time, and it happens less frequently when i turn right to RJ, so I assume it can be solved by adjusting grip and/or getting used to the force required.

Flicks feel good, tracking feels good. I am accustomed to small/lightweight mice, so there isn't much adjustment period for me. I have been using a Kinzuadder primarily over the last week or two, and this is significantly more comfortable due to the narrower rear putting less pressure on my palm.

Default CPI steps are 800, 1600 and 4000, cycled with the button below scroll wheel. Polling rate is 500Hz out of the box. I wanted to turn off the LEDs, set 800 CPI only and set 1000Hz polling rate, so I had to install the software. After making my adjustments, it crashed when I hit Apply, and the mouse froze. Settings were still saved when I re-plugged mouse, and I have since uninstalled the software. I hear that I am not alone in this.

Scroll wheel is nice and smooth, yet has that satisfying mechanical whirring. If you need a scroll wheel with defined single steps, this is going to give you nightmares. Middle button is decent to click, slightly stiffer than m1/m2, which is about as good as you can get on most mice. Since the wheel is quite slippery, I have caused the mouse to scroll accidentally while middle clicking. May be a problem in TF2 where I use scroll wheel up/down to select slot2/slot1.

Lift-off distance is low. Not the lowest I've seen (eg: G502, Zowie), but low enough for it to not be a problem. I am a big fan of low LOD and this is acceptable.

Glide is fine, despite feet being a little thinner than I generally prefer. I don't think I would personally want a faster glide, as more friction tends to help stabilise light mice for me.

Cable is okay. For me it's similar to G302 and WMO level of thick/heavy. The texture of it is largely irrelevant for me, because it doesn't touch my pad at all. The cable is stiff enough that I can actually get it to suspend itself for about 25cm distance from the mouse to my desk in front of the pad.

Polling rate at 1000Hz is very consistent (largely within 0.5%), BUT every 15th (why??) update is 2ms/500Hz. I doubt this has any serious impact in general gaming usage.

Regarding side buttons, I don't really use them. The front one (mouse5?) is great, the rear one (mouse4?) is a little more difficult to get to with my grip. The only game I currently use a side button for is TF2 (slot3). If you need both buttons often, you may find you need to adjust grip to suit. The thing about squeezing the shell to activate side buttons never comes up for me in actual games. You REALLY have to squeeze it quite deliberately and hard. HARD.

Also the lights have that PWM thing going on, where you see stroboscopic artifacts while moving the mouse. A lot of mice do this. I turned all the lights off.

Anyway, main points TL;DR

+ Everything I want in a small, light mouse.
- Software buggy for me
- mouse2 feels delayed sometimes for some reason, likely grip/force related

Next step is checking my other sample to see if its better/worse, and deciding which one to put inside a WMO shell.

Please upload a vid showing how you do it; I and many others would love you forever.

Quick update: I managed to lessen the disparity between mouse1 and mouse2 actuation force (mouse2 was a lot lighter than mouse1) by gently and incrementally bending the mouse2 button backward until the clicks were audibly synchronised. Bending it backward is easy, but if you go too far, you will have to open up the mouse and unhook the button assembly further back to bend it forward again. If you go too far forward, the shell will constantly push on the switches. There is a sweet spot and it takes time and patience. It is probably possible to snap the shell if you try this. If I didn't have a 2nd one, I would probably not have done this. All of these things will void your warranty, I accept no responsibility, etc..

Edit: I also attemped the WMO shell swap with only a stanley knife. It's mostly done but I will need to pick up a rotary tool to remove more debris on the bottom shell, as the distance from sensor to pad is too far, and loses tracking quite often. You will need to build your own wheel cradle, I used an old credit card. You will also need to remove a lot of plastic from the top shell buttons to make the larger wheel fit. I have also ordered what I believe to be counterfeit WMOs, which are apparently way easier to mod, and can use the original scroll wheel. When they arrive I'll attempt using one of those.

thanks alot for the extended posts povohat. sweet DIY on mouse2, i'll definitely give that one a try.
would appreciate another update if you try it on one of those counterfeit WMOs :j

I'll try to finish this normal WMO one first. I've got a bunch of pictures already. It will probably be 2-3 weeks before these potentially fake WMOs get to my door.

Ordered October 22nd, didn't receive the mouse. Submitted Paypal refund, two days ago and he immediately ships the mouse to me. However, I paid $20 extra for it when it's on Amazon Prime for only $40. Can I force a refund even if he shipped the mouse?

My friend has this mouse and I tried it out for a bit. I didn't really sit down and game with it, but what I can tell you is that it's a somewhat small mouse, and it's ridiculously light. In my opinion, it's almost too light.

You get used to it, the low static friction is really nice.

ive never disliked a mouse's buttons before. i've used many. i feel like it takes a lot more effort with this one to click though. the trimming that connects the sides to the top surface of the mouse come together sharply. the buttosn alone mean I find it unsuitable for dota.

im hopeful that ninox is successful enough that he can use his own shell designs
