It's around 124g with all the weights out, right? That's good enough for me.
From what I know the mouse feet issue with the G502 was supposed to be fixed all the way back in July 2014 - when did you get your mouse?
I also heard that the shape was supposed to be conductive to a claw grip. What did you find particularly uncomfortable about clawing the G502?

As for all the people recommending the G303, is there something that the G303 has or can do that the G502 doesn't? Is it better for claw-gripping than the G502? I actually prefer a slightly hefty mouse, so its lighter weight doesn't strike me as a positive. What's your specific reason for recommending the G303 over the G502?

I mean these are all pretty good suggestions for a person who's just starting to look for a mouse and mousepad but I've already narrowed down what I'm currently seeking from a new mouse/mousepad.
As for the mouse, I'm pretty much sold for the G502, but I wanted to hear from players who have used the mouse whether there were any issues with it that couldn't be found in the reviews, or if the FK2 (which I now consider a close runner-up) was a better choice than the G502 for them for whatever reason other than it being LAN-friendly. Unless you can give me something that's objectively better suited to the criteria that I set forward (perfect optical sensor, great for claw grip, bonus points for low click latency), I'd probably be going with the G502.
G303 was one of my main considerations, but in the end I felt that it was too small for my hand to use for an extended period of time without getting cramped. Besides, I heard a lot about the mouse being uncomfortable because of its edges.
From what I know the G502's sensor is better in every way from the G400/G400s's and the G502 also has more macros for that extra "pro mlg gamer" look, correct me if I'm wrong. My budget is $200 so I can afford to get something expensive as long as it'll last me at least two years.
I don't want a Razer mouse, everything I got from them with the exception of the goliathus broke within a year. It doesn't matter if the new Deathadder comes with pixel-perfect precision and gives free blowjobs, I don't want it.
As I have said, I don't want a cloth pad - I already have the Razer goliathus speed, and I feel that it has too much friction. I want a pad with very fast glide, but still is comfortable to use (my desk has a straight edge and it cuts into my wrist when I play games, so I use the mousepad as a wrist-rest too). Hybrid pads seemed perfect for this purpose, and I'll be getting the Zowie TF Speed unless someone recommends me a different hybrid pad/hard-pad with wrist padding or someone writes a horror story about their experiences with the TF Speed.

The main point of making this thread was getting input from players who were already using one of the products that I have listed. I understand that you're trying to help, but there's no point in trying to convince a guy that won't listen anyways - all I'm trying to figure out is whether these products that seem good on paper are as good in real life.

I've been looking to get a new mouse and mousepad but I can't seem to make up my mind.
I'm currently using the Corsair M65 and the Razer Goliathus, but I felt that the combination of a hefty mouse and cloth pad is negatively affecting my twitch aim (which I rely on a lot), which is why I decided to get new mouse peripherals. Besides, I might as well use this as an excuse to finally get myself an optical mouse.

From reading reviews on TFTV and elsewhere, I narrowed down my mouse choices to the Zowie FK2 and the Logitech G502.
I would have gone with the FK2 (partially because of their popularity in the TF2 community), but I was hearing how Zowie mice have fairly high innate click latency and I was a bit afraid that the huano switches might affect my reaction time. Is the delay (and the switch) particularly noticeable, especially for classes like Sniper? Is it just a nocebo effect?
I haven't heard anything particularly negative about the G502 (other than 12000DPI being impressive but utterly impractical), but are there any known problems or quality issues with the mouse that I may have missed?
For both of the mice, can they be used comfortably with a claw grip (the G502 in particular)? My hands aren't particularly wide, but I do have long fingers. Any insight would be appreciated.

As for the mousepad, I wanted a pad that was both comfortable for long sessions but had low friction. Naturally, I gravitated towards hybrid pads and settled on the Zowie TF Speed. How long can I expect the pad to last? Does it wear out mouse feet, the mousepad or both? Does the glide get uneven after heavy use, or does it last as long as a hard pad? Can I clean it easily? Are there viable or superior alternatives that I should consider?

I realize that there's a lot of threads asking for mouse and mousepad help and I apologize if I come across as being too lazy to do my own research, but I would like to have as many opinions on this as possible since I plan on not buying any more mice for at least a couple years.

Mashpit, LFT ESEA Season 21.
I played in ESEA S20 with the Hong Kong Cavaliers as their starter Scout. Other than that, I have a couple UGC steel~silver seasons (mostly messing around with friends), and about a year's worth of Newbie Pugs.
A mid-high Open team that has regular scrims and people that're upbeat would be preferred, but I'm fine with being on a low Open team as long as everyone's still trying their best to improve and doesn't get too salty.
My schedule is usually free from Saturday to Wednesday all day, as long as I'm given a notice a day in advance. Thursday and Friday are a bit more tricky, but I'll probably be available after 10:00 EST on those days. However, I'll be missing from the third week of December to the second week of January (winter break), and a couple weeks during April. I live in the central US region, so please clarify what timezone you're using when giving me match/scrim times.
I'm fine with being either a sub or a main.
Contact me at http://steamcommunity.com/id/mashedpotatoes/ if you're interested in having me Scout for your team.

If you must play on a laptop then have a look at this one
http://store.hp.com/us/en/pdp/Laptops/hp-envy---15t-slim-quad-laptop-l6e55av-1
It's pretty cheap for the parts and the frame is pretty high quality too, from what the reviews say
I haven't personally used it but I'm planning on buying it once my current schoolwork laptop dies

Check your config.cfg, sometimes it gets screwed up and doesn't update according to the changes you made ingame
You'll have to change it manually in notepad if that's the case

Extremely dedicated to the game, as attested by the fact that his DM has improved by a ridiculous amount (from iron to open) in less than a year. Can get very vocal on the flank but if your team has a strong maincaller it won't be an issue. He's also really nice and keeps a positive attitude in mumble. Good addition for any low-mid open team, and he's only going to get better.
He also has an impressive collection of exquisite vintage memes that were aged in a cellar for 9 years so expect to see him break those out whenever he gets an airshot.

Instead of opening a new tab when I click one of the links, it opens the link in the tiny little window that's supposed to show the list of news.
Clicking the TFTV icon in the toolbar still shows the random news page that I clicked.

Can someone post proof of the sticky radius being returned to pre-nerf?
I'm getting conflicting reports on whether the nerf was actually removed or not

This is probably a bad time for a request, but...
Is it possible to add a little bar or a mark to rechargable items that show when that item's effect wears off? For example, bonk, crit-a-cola, dead ringer damage resist/speed buff, etc. It would also be nice to show things like jarate/mad milk duration (although it wouldn't be perfectly accurate when factoring in travel time) and the duration of activation taunts for some weapons (sandvich and its derivatives, phlog).
Just a little thought that I had that might make this already incredible hud even better.

A quick question.
How do I revert the KOTH timer to be back in the old style, and on top?

They're good players that're really chill and nice.
You won't regret playing with them.

Had a stats mismatch between logs.tf and SizzlingStats in yesterday's pug.
Here is the logs.tf link to the match, and here is the link to the SizzlingStats page.

I use a rather heavily edited version of your HUD, and I'd rather not have to go through all my files and change them back to my preferred settings. I can live with what I have, but I would like help on how to add the Eureka Effect teleport menu. I added the eureka effect files in the build_menu, but it doesn't seem to work.

Thanks, and keep up the good work on the HUD!
