the logitech g304x debuted in china & is around the corner. it should crush the mchose g3 (v2) and attack shark g3(pro) in every capacity given that neither of the clone brands are using their “ice feel coating” and are using cheaper MCUs + capped at 1khz polling rate (excluding the mchose g3 ultra, but it’s no longer under production & has issues anyway).

to clarify, i have 2 mchose g3 ultras but they kept dealing with cursor stalling problems on every surface, lod, power setting combination possible.

if you can’t wait in the meantime, i can vouch for the attack shark g3pro (white or pink) in spite of its 3311 sensor & budget MCU.
i have an mchose g3 v2 pro on the way and can report back on that.

if you’re looking for small form factor shapes that have similar ergonomic decisions but aren’t necessarily g305 clones:

the attack shark r6 is a minified ninjutso sora v1 with solid build quality & coating (white). you will need to download their latest firmware on the attack shark discord & use the web driver for the attack shark r5 to properly configure it, as the stock firmware has power issues that can cause clicks to be held & the sensor to stutter, and you may need to toggle the power switch on the mouse after you plug in the receiver to fix some sort of wireless signal failure/stuttering. if you can deal with that, the performance is great & the shape may be endgame if you're looking for more directed rear hump support than a g305, more of a back flare for your pinky to rest on, and in which the front of the mouse is tucked in/slanted.

the arye rcc-1 has a very similar design philosophy, although it’s shorter & less wide, its slides are more slanted and the top of its sides are flat & “sharp” as opposed to rounded, so it may feel more cramped than the g305. this can be compensated with (thicker) grip tape to flatten the sides out more, but that might deviate a bit more from the g305 design principles than you’d like. otherwise, great performance, build quality, and coating.

the lamzu atlantis mini, while markedly different in its profile, has a similar design philosophy of tucked-in sides and a flattish top profile for palm/knuckle contact without sacrificing the ability to fingertip grip if you really want to. great build quality, performance, coating (pink, championship edition; i have a white lamzu maya x and it feels fine too, but not sure if it’s the same exact coating as the lamzu atlantis mini championship’s white coating).

forgot to mention the ajazz/attack shark aj159 apex, which is a minified endgamegear xm2w and is similar to the lamzu atlantis mini in the sense of its top profile and how it facilitates an aggressive claw grip, but it just has slanted sides similar to the g305/arye instead of also being curved (i.e. the atlantis mini has a front flare whereas the aj159 doesn't). i have it in blue & can vouch for that coating. good build quality, performance, etc.

lots of small mice exist that don’t have the tucked in sides as the g305, and that’s an entirely separate rabbit hole. the superlight 2c may be perfectly fine for you (i have the magenta version & can vouch for that coating), but the sides being flat/contoured (where there’s a “waist”/indent for your thumb and pinky in the middle of the mouse) rather than slanted or concave (and especially with the superlight 2c’s bulbous front flare) & the overall profile being “half a potato” may make the mouse feel blunt in your hand when you’re used to being able to pull a g305 style shape in towards your hand more aggressively.

#6 MGE.tf 1v1 World Championship: Playoffs in Events

through a coordinated internal fundraising event with the staff members and friends of MGE.tf over the last year.

thank you all again for playing. i hope everyone had fun, because it was a blast as a viewer to see the crazy shit everyone hit. some real god tier gamers in this community. tf2's future looks bright.

neptune is the GOAT of tournament organization, hands down. his work ethic is truly admirable.

fireside casts did an exceptional job on production & the commentators were on-point especially when clutch moments happened.

i’m so excited that this is coming together.
a full year of planning that went into mge.tf’s eu league, and now with a huge blowout event for north america.
tf2 has mechanical depth and micro strategy that are still unrivaled by any modern shooter that has come out (and managed to stay alive) since.
i hope everyone enjoys playing & watching our event.
godspeed to the competitors.

#12 Odin banned (again) in TF2 General Discussion
varnuFor those who have the pleasure of not playing Highlander: you couldn't disengage against Odin heavy cause he is just shooting the ghost of you whenever try to get behind cover. Every fight you took where you didn't hard commit to killing the heavy you are taking an extra 20% damage compared to any other heavies. (Not on AC team just my thoughts from playing against it)

Odin has been shooting around walls for years. ONE month ban for cheating in the highest division for multiple seasons is awesome.

i don't know odin nor have i seen the demos, but is everyone sure that it's "interp abuse" and not something more insidious like backtracking? typically having high interp is a double-edged sword that makes it hard to react to new information, especially projectiles, and high interp really doesn't make you hit harder/more consistently than playing with low interp on a stable & especially low latency connection. if someone is hitting that outrageously such that AC is forced to make a decision, i would absolutely not assume the best from someone.

#1 Call to arms for the 2v2 MGE Cup Invite Division! in TF2 General Discussion

Hey everyone! MGE.tf is hosting a cup between July 27th-28th, and we're really looking to get more exposure from high-level players for our invite division hosted on July 28th. If you & your friend have RGL advanced+ experience and/or are vouched for having equivalent MGE skills, we'd love to see your team apply for our invite division. Our criteria to play our invite division is, more than anything, an ambition to play at the highest levels & a track record of doing so. As such, we've reserved 320 keys of our prize pool for the invite division, with the minimum prize of 3rd place winning 40 keys! We only have 7 teams currently applied to invite, and while we're OK with a minimum of 8 invite teams, we're looking to support as many as 16 invite teams!

More information can be found in our event post: https://www.teamfortress.tv/64725/dolphinrider-mge-cup-sponsored-by-mannco-store-invite-bracket

Fireside Casts has been gracious enough to offer their casting talent & services, so expect your time on the spotlight!
We've also been graciously sponsored by Mannco.store, so please check them out if you're looking to buy & sell your TF2 items!

tob's crosshair repo has variants (https://github.com/KobeTob/TobVTF/tree/master/Dots)
same with venom's crosshair repo (https://github.com/hbivnm/Venom-Crosshairs-List)

i wasn't really thinking about generality when i color-coded mine, so theirs could be strictly better. shout-out to them for compiling so many crosshairs.

#69 Main Team Joint Statement #2 in TF2 General Discussion

too many closet cheaters in gaming nowadays. please keep up being skeptical and reporting on any basis of suspicion; the problem is just going to keep getting worse across basically every game until trusted hardware & DRM-enabled HMDs are enforced/accessible (if ever). even in pubs and mge, i hate having to play stupid psychological warfare games against people that obviously want to sandbag and have close battles when they clearly have no idea what they're doing.
