Better Quality worth the cost?

[Kluey]

So I was looking for a better gaming mouse rather than using my 5$ USB Mouse with 1.5 DPI and a thick *** cord that pisses me off.

Anyways, I was looking and I came across this article that said DPI doesn't matter too much. So, I googled it and so many people were saying that the top gaming mouses go overkill on DPI. It kind of makes sense to be honest. For example, you only need 60 FPS to have a perfect video. Upgrading your PC to get more is completely useless.

So, is investing the extra 30$ for a fancier name really worth it? I don't see much difference but i'm not really an expert at this. xD

Thoughts?

it totally depends on what your looking for, for me? yes i like the feel of a higher quality mouse not only that but they come with a lot of extra features. DPI wise then yeah pretty much all "gaming" mice go way over kill on it, i highly doubt anyone plays at 5600+ dpi, personally with my naga i only use 2400.

the reason i bought a 80$ mouse and a 150$ keyboard is for a couple of things, the main reasons being macro support and a lot of extra key binding's. having a 17 button mouse is something that now that i have had it i doubt i will be able to live without it as i use all 12 side buttons every day for tons of different things, be it macro's/commands in editing programs or key bindings in games.

but in honesty if your going to be buying a high end mouse then your also going to need to dish out the money for a high end mouse pad, for the longest time i made fun of people who spent a lot of money on mouse pads and after buying one my self and seeing how much of a improvement it is i feel like its useless to have to have high end mouse without a high end mouse pad because what is the point of having such a high dpi for tracking when you have a crappy mouse pad where it doesn't matter or it picks up on bumps and moves your cursor that extra centimeter

i dunno, i've been pwning noobs with my $5 mouse/keyboard for over 10 years now in shooters, lolz. doubt a super high tech mouse would help any, its just a market trick i think :P

i think it all boils down to user preference in the end.

For example I play all of my fps at a very low sensitivity because I enjoy picking out targets at a farther distance and it I adjust for recoil much more effectively on certain shooters, so I choose to have a very lightweight, simple mouse rather than the "omg I light up and have 50 different functions and if I were any smarter I'll have the courtesy to give you a reach-around" kind of mouse.

so just stick to what you usually like doing and roll with it

I have a Razer Naga and I love it. Easier macro access with the side buttons. I also bought the Razer BlackWidow Ultimate Keyboard and it feels so sexy on my fingers. Also with it's macroing program, it makes it so much easier. I really like Razer and their products.

Quality is a tricky thing.

Are you talking about:
Durability?
Features? (You have to see whether the extra cost is worth it, like extra buttons etc)
Product packaging/Software/Drivers? (Check out reviews on how the product worked out for other people and if it was a hassle)
Feel of the material? (Subjective)
Overall responsiveness? (Subjective)

I'm happy with my $15 generic brand mouse. Lightweight, fits fine and it's plenty responsive.

Any more than 5 buttons on the mouse is overkill for me. I might look into that 15$ mouse. Looks like my hand will fit nicely over it and it looks good.

I use a Deathadder and it's just sexy.

Pinpoint accuracy and it moves perfectly and it fits my hand shape.

i prefer the Razer mouse. I consider the function and the ergonomics of the gadget best grip, best play!
