Thanks for the reply.

Any thoughts on the Corsair m40, btw?

A few questions:

I haven't noticed any pixel walking. Do you have a source confirming Zowie mice suffer from this?
Which step is the "non-wonky" dpi step?
What's wrong with low LOD?
What mouse has superior tracking?

Thanks!

CL edition--much better scroll wheel.

The other Zowie models are just as good, just different grips.

I highly recommend you get a pair of headphones and a cheap desktop mic instead. Much more bang for your buck.

For gaming, I'd recommend the ATH-AD700's--economical, top notch sound placement with a wide soundstage, detailed highs and mids.

Funny, I wrote the same thing and used to use that :P Adapted it from my spy viewmodel script.

Good stuff.

Not this thread, but this one:

It sold me on Zowie, so I'm grateful. You might also find this a helpful resource, too:

Thanks, guys.

After hearing time and time again that a wired connection is essential to gaming, I finally hunkered down and drilled some holes (heh) and laid some wire.

Result: a small boost in upload bandwidth. Same ping. That's it.

Is this to be expected? I was hoping for a bit lower latency, but my ping is exactly the same.

Edit: title should have ended with "than wireless". Oops.

The best thing you can do to raise your FPS is to disable all unnecessary services in Windows.

Razer GameBooster will disable most of these for you, and re-enable them once you exit the game. Do a little reading and disable the others manually.

Disable the Steam overlay for a boost, too.

Goodluck, downpour.

Edit: wow, SSD's ftw D: Your old HD must have been full to the brim and crazy fragmented.

You'll save ~10 frames by disabling the overlay, FYI.

If you have viewmodels off and sometimes mistake what weapon you've switched to, try this:

Bind [key for x weapon] +weapon#
alias +weapon# "slot#;r_drawviewmodel 1"
alias -weapon# "r_drawviewmodel 0"

Not really...maybe turn up contrast and/or saturation/color vividness in your GPU control panel?

Why do you want this anyway? There may be other ways to achieve what you're hoping for.

No improvement most likely because you're using Gamebooster, which automatically adjusts your power settings to "High" when in-game.

My preference is to have a balance between maximum performance and useful things which cost FPS.

Sorry if I sound overly defensive; I was addressing Setsul not you. I'm just a little tired of people demeaning me without provocation or reason. I hope that makes sense.
