as for sensors, people apparently hate the ADNS9200 but YES I HAVE ZERO PROBLEMS WITH IT. I tried actively looking for acceleration but couldn't find shit. In the name of fairness, though, as someone who plays at just under 2800CPI, I don't even get close to the perfect tracking speeds of any decent sensor. Apparently, however, I couldn't break it even when I tried to, so...
The Sensei also has the perfect shape and great switches. Go for it unless you play at 100CPI
No, it's the earlier versions of the g400 (not the g402) that have a flawed sensor.
You won't notice the difference between a good sensor and a bad sensor until you've gotten used to a good sensor. However, it's not necessary to have a good sensor, plenty of people play extraordinarily well with mice that don't have "flawless" sensors. If you're very keen on finding the acceleration in your mouse with the ADNS9200 you can carefully (watching your mouse, not the monitor) move very quickly to the right and then return left several times and I assure you you'll find your cursor in a place that you wouldn't consider close enough to the original position to say that there is no acceleration. <-- try starting from the very left and move about have a screen's worth of movement to the right
None of Steelseries products have a good sensor except the Optical Rival and the Kana V2 (discontinued). But again, you don't necessarily need a good sensor to be a good mouse player
as I mentioned, I tried actively looking for acceleration doing that (using a position reference for the mouse (my mousepad has a pattern) and one for the cursor) and other methods. Even tried testing software, and the differences in the results, if any, were so negligible that they might have been even my own fault, in light of the fact that I am, most likely, not a robot and thus not completely precise.
The fact that I couldn't find it when I tried just works to further prove my point that, in my case, this sensor might as well be a perfect fucking sensor or whatever (which just happen to be that much fucking overrated - do you guys even read your posts before posting? It's starting to get tiring), because I definitely don't get anywhere near the perfect tracking speed for this sensor
Look, let me put it this way: using
an absolute sensitivity calculator, I quickly find out that my play area for osu! is of 2.1082cm x 1.5748cm. Assuming I have to hit a 1/4th jump across the screen on a 200bpm map, which is probably undoable, I have to get from one circle to another in 75ms. With a bit of math, we quickly find out that I have to travel approximately 3.31999cm in 75ms, or 0.0331999m in 0.075s, which gives me a theoretical maximum speed of 0.442665333333m/s.
Even if I had to hit a 1/8th jump at that same distance, my speed would be of about 0.88m/s, which, yeah, is still probably under the perfect tracking speed for this sensor. And for any decent sensor.
So, for me, the ADNS9500
is a perfect sensor. Get the fuck over it.
