    Well, I game. And for me, a mouse that fits better that has a slightly worse sensor still tends to work better for me than one that has the most awesome sensor ever but was designed for people who are apparently Michael Bay Transformers.

    Usually when a mouse looks like this
    [​IMG]
    It's utter crap.

    This
    [​IMG]
    is what the best I've ever owned looks like.


    I look at the sensor because I play high skill games that heavily rely on smooth, consistent and accurate cursor behaviour. For every day gaming I wouldn't really say it matters.

    The top one just looks like it's trying to sell a look, not a mouse.

    The G9 is awesome when its naked. gets u that feeling ur holding a laser and not a mouse. all tho they are not even half good when it comes to quality, think iv used up like 3 g9`s in the last 5 year or so. i may have hulk`d smashed one with a tombmachin tho and the wheel breaks soo fast but then again gravity+force and super strong mucels = very bad time for a mouse

    I hung a poster up. Recently moved, this poster was left on my old wall and took me a while for my old roommate to bring it down the street to me. Now it is on the wall behind my couch/bed.

    I want my SMNC poster signed at the alleged PAX next January in San Antonio. Even if, in order to make it happen no way possible, I call in sick 4 days and drive my unstable motorbike 150 miles away and sleep roadside and in parking lots, to make it happen. In retrospect, it is the closest it will ever get, so I am actually suffering less now to get it done than I would any other circumstance.

    You're lucky. I would need to get around the whole planet to reach Uber's usual location.

    My singed poster came through the mail. I've never met an Uber member in person.

    Alright, instead of just saying that cleaning did indeed fix my mouse and that there are two areas right next to the sensor, which turn the zowie fk into a very unfortunate crossover between a mouse and a vacuum cleaner, I'll also post some unnecessarily large pictures with silly captions. Sorry in advance. :oops: Mausvoninnen.JPG Martin Semmelrogges mittagessen.JPG
    What? I needed to steady my hands clean my keyboard as well!

    Also, Zowie mice seem to be built specifically to be not opened, because you need to tear off the feet every time, which are ridiculously expensive - wait - yeah, i guess that explains a lot :mad:

    Since my keyboard is now clean as sh...no wait that makes no sense, very clean, and my mouse doesn't jitter anymore I'd say my setup has improved to a solid: "Mousepad is not the same thing jammy has and the PC didn't get any newer 4/10" if IGN reviewed computer-setups for some reason.

    Well this applies to a lot of modern mouses. The screws are always underneath the feet. Have you tried gluing them back on?

    Also I bought a new mouse because it was on a huge discount. CM Storm Recon for 15€. So I will be postponing my ascension to Zowie master race for now.
