Gaming mice?

Does anyone know of any quality gaming mice? I'd like to use one with COD2, WoW and a few others that I might consider purchasing. The MM is a fantastic mouse, but not for gaming.
Does any of the Razer mice work with Mac? Their website only says the Diamondback doesn't work with Mac OS.
Any and all suggestions are welcome..
Thanks,
-Nick

I am actually using a Razer Diamondback with a MacPro. I downloaded their Razer Pro software from razerpro.com which is made for the ProClick, basically a Mac version of this Diamondback.
I purchased the Diamondback to use on my Alienware ALX and decided to try it on my new MacPro. It didn't work too well until I installed the Mac version of their software. I even tried Mighty Mouse, but that didn't allow me to change the Double Click speed. Basically, one click was translated to two almost always. The mouse is still very sensitive, but I have adjusted to using it again.
If you haven't purchased a mouse yet, you may want to buy the Mac version of the Razer mouse. The best price I have seen so far has been at Provantage and it is called ProClick.

Pc gaming mice in Bootcamp?

I am using a 27 inch iMac. I also run bootcamp on it. I am buying a G9x gaming mouse from Logitech and I want to know if the mouse will fully work in bootcamp.

Anything that has Windows driver is fine.
It would be impossible to not work, but I do think - still have just 2GB RAM? is not going to cut it today nor would I run Windows 32-bit on Mac. That would be more of an issue.

One on the left is the GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS, the right side one is full of surprise! These gaming style accessories only comes with Super Pack version, not every GT60 Dominator Pro will have these great gaming gears together.
The gift box comes with Gaming headset, Gaming mouse, Gaming pad and Top Player Top Choice stamp tool. SteelSeries is really great and famous on gaming gear devices; MSI is also great on gaming notebooks, they are too professional to co-work with SteelSeries!
The SteelSeries KINZU gaming mice, 3200dpi/1600dpi, very accurate optical mouse for 3K resolution monitor.
Put the mouse on the mouse pad, with the fancy Dragon tattoo makes me feel I am ready to play games, Top Player Top Choice!
The SteelSeries SIBERIA V2 gaming mouse, this is high quality headset and customized version for MSI gaming notebooks with fancy MSI dragon tattoo!!
Take a look on the customized artwork, the dragon tattoo on the metal cover of both set, and the Dragon gaming logo in the headset as well, that makes this headset more gaming style and looks powerful!
This Gaming headset belongs to MSI notebook accessories! The sound quality is really good, detail is clear on mid and high frequency, subwoofer is powerful and really suitable for gaming, even you wear for hours still feel comfortable and stable, overall quality makes me feel it’s over $150 value!
Very special stamp tool, I would like to put chocolate on this and stamp on the Dragon Gaming Cake!!
Let’s start to reveal the first lady, no, the real steel of GT60 Dominator Pro!!
Look at the surface of the design, Dragon logo with light from darkness on the cover, and the metallic material on top cover and palm rest side, which makes the GT60 Dominator Pro looks high quality and gaming style.
Take a look on the cover side, the Dragon Gaming Logo is really fancy and stylish with backlit. Brushed metal design makes the cover looks high quality and solid.
Sound by Dynaudio speaker system, the best famous mobile sound system on this top level GT60 Dominator Pro gaming notebook is really amazing, great on sound detail and real good acoustic of human vocal and great sound stage presents!
We put all the accessories together and boot up to check further detail on GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS version! The display quality is vivid.
Let’s take a look on the detail spec., 384GB SSD Super RAID, Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, top level GTX880M 8GB GDDR5 graphics, 32GB RAM. It’s all top level and could use for 3 more years of ultra-quality games!
When first time to use MSI gaming notebooks, you will feel amazing about the SteelSeries keyboard is really good typing feeling and solid based. It comes with multi-color backlit and move the windows key to right side, that really professional design as a gaming notebook keyboard, and the only one with real gaming design.
Take a look in the SteelSeries Engine, the exclusive gaming software only for MSI gaming notebooks. This macro keys software built in Keypress macro, Text macro, 1 key launch program and Disable key function, besides F1~F12, all other keys could be used for macros setup, and 4 layers of keyboards o setup 4 sets of macros with 4 sets of different backlit combinations, so this is really a great software for smarter and stylish gaming experience.
With CPU-Z tool to check, the upgraded Intel Core i7 4800MQ @ 2.7GHz, TDP 47W, 4 Cores 8 Threads is really great performance, CPU Boost could up to 3.5~3.7GHz.
Because of Core i7 4800MQ and GTX880M, the 3D benchmarks comes with breakthrough scores than ever on the notebook platform, 3D Mark Fire Strike: P5351 pts.
The GT60 Dominator Pro on 3D Mark 11 gains P8461 pts, it’s whole new level of the gaming notebooks, and It’s over 15% faster than GTX780M!
The 3D Mark Vantage boost up to P33115 scores, it’s 14% faster than GTX780M!
Then we check on other software of DirectX11 3D performance, the Heaven Benchmark is world’s 1st software tool to test DirectX11 effects, this time we use Heaven Benchmark version 3.0 to test.
Set the Tessellation on normal to enable DirectX11 effects and run Benchmark, the Full HD resolution could get 78.2 FPS(Frames Per Second) high score result.
Since this GT60 is 3K IPS panel edition, of course we have to try 3K resolution, you could see that the result block is smaller at 2880x1620 resolution, the result is 42.7 FPS with same setup, so we could say that 3K resolution will reduce over 45% of the FPS rate in this test, but GTX880M is too powerful, so still over 40FPS, and most games we need to get over 30 FPS to play and feel smoother, at least 20 FPS to play a game, if lower than 20 FPS, that will makes people feel lag obviously and feel dizzy easily.
Since we tried some benchmark, of course we have to try at least a famous game to the real world experience. Battlefield 4, the biggest FPS game title since end of 2013, is one of the heaviest loading games on PC platform.
First we made Battlefield 4 detail at 1920x1080 with Ultra Graphics Quality setup.
The gaming frames is 46 FPS, really smooth and around 20% faster than GTX780M.
Once we tune up the resolution to 2880x1620, the FPS drops a lot because the Ultra mode also set 4xMSAA (Anti-Aliasing), that will impact the performance a lot in higher resolution, also make graphics memory demand around 3GB~4GB, seems the 8GB GDDR5 with GTX880M is prepared for upcoming games with such as 3K or even higher resolutions!
We could see it’s about 24~28 FPS under 3K resolution with Ultra Graphics Quality, most time it will reduce over 40% FPS rate of the gaming performance.
Seems to set the Battlefield 4 with “High” graphics quality on 2880x1620 resolution is more suitable to play the game smoother in every theme.
It’s about 42 FPS, close to the 1920x1080 Ultra graphics quality. So if we want to play heavy loading games at 2880x1620 resolution, set to High graphics quality setup is a good option for 3K gaming!
After these 3D and gaming tests, let’s take a look on the temperature of the cooling system. The room temperature is 25 degree C, the temperature of fan out part is 71.2 degree C, it’s not a surprise because of GTX880M and Core i7 4800MQ, even it’s a bit lower than most gaming notebooks with this 2 combinations. The palm rest and keyboard side is 30.6 degree C, it’s really cool for users to hands on.
After the fabulous experience of great 3D performance, let’s take a look on the benefits of “Super RAID 2”, normal 2.5” HDD is about 80~100MB/s, single SSD is about 400~550MB/s, BUT, GT60 Dominator Pro boost over 1536MB/s and average is 1477MB/s, that’s 15x faster than single HDD, almost 3x faster than single SSD.
If we check on the AS SSD Benchmark tests, you could see more detail of the storage access performance is amazing, the Sequential read is 1116.76MB/s, write is 786.79MB/s. 4K-64Thrd read is 665.09MB/s, write is 461.18MB/s, it’s ultra fast!
The GT60 Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition comes with Killer Doubleshot LAN and WiFi, it provides faster response time of gaming experience, when you at different LAN/WiFi environment, Killer software will ask you to make an internet speed test, this will fine tune your LAN/WiFi for smoother and faster online experience.
MSI also got a new software tool called “Dragon Gaming Center”, this tool is also good for hardware monitor and utility launch tool. Also could show the status of Hybrid Power enable or disable.
The ultimate weapon for enthusiast gamers:
The GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS version is extremely powerful, it comes with most of the features that a great gaming notebook could have, 3K IPS panel is really great effect of vision quality, SteelSeries keyboard with SSE is amazing for gamers to play their games smarter, Sound By Dybaudio present really good detail sound quality, Killer Doubleshot is faster for online gaming, of course the GTX880M is awesome for gamer to play Full HD even 3K resolution games, the backlit of Dragon logo and keyboard is really beautiful.
Conclusion:
The overall score I will give this GT60 2PE Dominator Pro 3K IPS edition with Super Pack is 95 out of 100, this is really great machine for any hard core gaming or power user usage, I would recommend any one to must-have this notebook if it’s affordable for you!!
Game Performance:   ★★★★★★★★★★
Storage Performance:   ★★★★★★★★★★
Gaming Design:      ★★★★★★★★★☆
Sound Quality:         ★★★★★★★★★★
Keyboard:         ★★★★★★★★★☆
Online speed:         ★★★★★★★★★☆
Price Range:         ★★★★★★★★☆

Ok either you work for MSI or you changed the settings in 3dmark11. I only scored around 5K with my GT60 2PE 3k. Any idea why I'm scoring 3k below you? Laptop was plugged in btw. Also how can you enter bios settings with this laptop? I suspect that maybe the hybrid gpu thing is affecting my score, and the Pc is probably not fully utilizing the GTX 880M, maybe in bios I can disable the integrated CPU's video card??? Please let me know. Thanks.

Let’s talk about performance and benchmark:
A bunch of performance test on CPU-Z:
↑ From CPU-Z we can tell that GT72 Dominator Pro using a Intek Core i7-4710HQ 2.50GHz with four cores.
↑ GT72 using their own motherboard, which from MSI.
↑ The only different between a MYR9,999 and a MYR11,999 GT72 Dominator Pro is the capacity of the RAM: 16GB and 32GB.
↑ It getting 604 in CPUmark.
↑ GT72 equips with Super RAID 3 512GB SSD, which provide a 5 seconds start up time(From button to desktop). Average getting a 1,586 MB/s READING speed, and 1,325 MB/s WRITING speed on ATTO Disk Bench Mark.
↑ And the HDD getting an average 133 MB/s READING speed and an average 131 MB/s WRITING speed.
↑ Tested it with another software, and got a result of 1422 MB/s READING speed and 1081 MB/s WRITING speed on SSD, isn't that much differences from the test above.
↑ A 125 MB/s READING speed and 105 MB/s WRITING speed on HDD.
↑ Take a look on GTX980MB
Benchmark by using 3DMark Professional Edition:
3D Mark 11 Advanced Edition:
↑ On ENTRY level
↑ On PERFORMANCE level
↑ On XTREAME level
Besides on gaming performance, it's very important to make sure it support casual works as well.
↑ On PCmark 8 HOME for some common home computing test: 4653
↑ On PCmark 8 CREATIVE for experts and proffesionals: 5445
↑ On PCmark 8 WORK for some simple office productivity test: 4401
↑ On PCmark 8 STORAGE to test SSD & HDD: 5017, and getting a average 330 MB/s Storage bandwidth.
At last, we'll be doing CPU heat test:
↑ Before we run the test, the cores temperature is around 40 degrees, and 33 degrees on hard disk.
↑ After we had run for a 30 minutes maxed performance test, with full fans on, we're getting 75 - 80 degrees on CPU cores and unbelievable still 33 degrees on hard disk.
To be honest, after tried on GT72 Dominator PRO, I just can't live without it anymore.
The BattleField 4 running smoothly with photoshop on background, I can finally play some video games while taking a break on my photo editing and graphic design works, in the coffee shop of course.
Although it looks pretty heavy, but it's actually much portable than I thought, in facts it's phenomenal thin for such a powerful performance beast.
Carry around with the backpack it provided isn't a difficult task at all.
Besides, one last thing to show:
↑ Sexiest design that let the heats never became an issue anymore.

yeah.... with so much different angle and good quality, they are truly good photo shooting pieces!

Z68A-GD65 (G3) issues: monitor stays on, mouse problems

Hi,
First I need to mention that I already updated BIOS to latest version (23.1).
The BIOS once froze when I tried to exit without saving changes, but that was before I updated it.
The issues are following:
1. Randomly (about 50%-50%), upon shutdown the monitor will not turn off. I am running the integrated graphics of the i5-2500K CPU, DVI output. The system is shut down and not in some sleep mode, also I tried to flip the PSU switch and the effect persists (the monitor does not turn off even then). It keeps displaying a perfectly black image, and the OSD menu does not respond (cannot be brought up). The monitor is connected to an Aten DVI KVM switch, which I also reset to eliminate it as the sole issue. I've had many machines and different OSes (Windows, Linux), but never have I seen this before. It seems the system somehow does not shutdown the monitor properly.
2. Upon shutdown, the mouse LED stays on. I'm using the same OS (Windows XP Pro 32-bit) as with the previous motherboard (Asus), and always the mouse properly turned off, so it doesn't seem to be an OS issue. Funny thing is, I also have one USB cable with a LED. This cable never turned its LED off on the Asus board, while it does turn it off on the MSI. This is another indication of weird shutdown, as mouse does not receive the shutdown signal. Even if power is cut, the KVM will keep powering it. This just happens to be the first motherboard, on which my Windows XP fails to turn it off upon shutdown.
3. After the BIOS upgrade, the mouse does not work anymore within BIOS. The cursor is confined to one vertical line on the left side, and the motion is reversed (I move the mouse down and the cursor moves up). The mouse is Cooler Master Spawn. The funny thing is, that the BIOS update mentions improving compatibility with gaming mice, and the mouse was working perfectly before this update.
Note that this mouse-in-BIOS issue is minor, I mostly care about the first two.
To resolve the issues, I've tried toggling various BIOS settings like EuP 2013, spread spectrum, legacy USB support, etc. All to no avail.
Please help?

Quote
Have you connected the mouse directly to the USB ports of the board itself?
We need to get the KVM thing out of the equation completely.
Not yet. If the issue won't return with the other port, KVM will obviously be at fault. Not using the KVM is not an option to begin with, that's why I'm still testing through normal usage with the KVM. Either way, it's impossible to forcibly prove that something works since the issue not reappearing may only be a coincidence, no matter how many times you try. You can only prove it doesn't work when the issue appears, hence this approach. That is, I'm tracking down the issue from the nonworking side. Don't worry, if it reappears I will try direct connection. If it doesn't reappear on another port, I'd only be destroying my hardware with needless restarts since the issue could not reappear anyway.
Please allow me a week (max) for this, I'll report back. If it doesn't reappear in a week, it had to be KVM port/cable.

That is a different concept. A "safe disconnect" will basically log-out the respective drive (unmount it) and force all pending read/write/caching tasks to be completed. However, this does not concern the functionality of the USB Ports. They will still supply power, which means the connected device as such will remain powered. It is just "logged out" of the operating system.
I was actually talking about what happens after unmounting. The HDD itself will stop spinning. This has nothing to do with flushing cache and unmounting. The system sends some kind of shutdown signal to the device. This was also identified as an issue on Windows 7, where by default windows did not shutdown external devices by default, when you "safely disconnect" them. Supposedly it was because of phones, which needed to keep charging and not shutdown even when you "safely disconnect" them. But people now complained they are afraid to pull the cable on the still-spinning harddrives. Windows XP does stop them by default, and on Windows 7 they offered a solution through a registry tweak that returns the XP behaviour.
So, this seems to be a special command. I'm guessing this is sent to all USB devices upon system shutdown, that this command is universal. At least, it was sent with the Asus board and now it isn't anymore.
If I connect the mouse directly it will most likely turn off upon shutdown. The cable LED already indicated that the board cuts power. That doesn't mean that it works correctly, since the USB device shutdown command, which is obviously needed with KVM switches, is still not sent for some reason. I hope nobody comes forward and presents this as a "feature"
I'll try to search in this direction, but I don't know that much about hardware/driver/OS chain, where the problem seems to originate from.
Cheers!

Wireless mighty mouse resolution (in DPI)

hi,
anybody has an idea of what is the resolution of the mighty mouse? i have the wired one, i believe it was just 800 dpi... i'm wondering if the new one is any better... i'm quite used to gaming mice (razer & logitech) whch goes up to 1600 dpi, so i really find the 800 dpi very slow...
thanks,
zurc

I agree it feels slow! Even in the in "max" position.
Compared to my old apple wireless mouse it is much slower. I dont know how many dpi sorry.
And the speed is a real downer!

Magic mouse on glass mouse mat

I use a glass mouse mat with a couple of gaming mice but i have another mouse that doesnt like it
i'm just wondering does magic mouse work with glass mouse mat?
thanks

The Magic Mouse works well on any surface the laser light doesn't penatrate. Glass doesn't work well but if the black glass is dense enough it could. Using a mouse pad or piece of paper or magazine will fix that issue.

How to revert back from external display mode to laptop display mode?

Hi, I'm new to this community. I'm not sure if this is where I should be posting my questions. Anyway, I accidentally pressed fn + f2, which switched my laptop into external display mode (I'm pretty sure), and the screen is now very narrow and small. I can't figure out how to switch it back to the laptop display mode. I tried fn + f3, which didn't do anything. I also tried the windows button + p, which wasn't the solution either (I was able to extend my desktop screen, but when I play my Steam games the screen is still very narrow and small). I'm very frustrated because I can't find any answers online. So any information would likely be helpful. Thanks in advance.
OS: Windows 8

Hi BorderingOnChaos,
Fn + F2 is a toggle. You press it again to switch back. If it doesn't work, then something is wrong with your notebook's SCM (system control manager) software or EC (embedded controller) firmware.
In the future, please do two things:
1 - Identify your notebook because the answer may vary depending on model.
2 - This question does not relate to the SteelSeries Engine. The correct place to ask it would be the general "Gaming Notebooks" forum if your MSI notebook is a gaming model. This "SteelSeries Engine" forum is a sub-forum under the "Gaming Notebooks" forum for the purpose of dealing with questions about it---but almost everybody new misses that. The SteelSeries Engine is used to configure keyboard macros and backlighting in MSI gaming notebooks that contain a SteelSeries keyboard as well as accessory devices from SteelSeries like gaming mice and USB headsets.
Kind regards, David

My Mac mini crashes, too

Well, technically mine just restarts randomly now and then. Any help with this will be appreciated.
This Mac mini is somewhat of an involuntary mod. It's the late 2009 model. The interconnecting board went bad, so it does not work at all when the internal HDD/DVD module is in it, but it boots from an external FW800 drive with the whole module removed. Since the internal fan is in the missing module, I keep the mini on a laptop stand with a big fan. It's running 10.8.3 with all updates.
The random reboots do not seem heat related, but could be. Here's the details I get upon restart:

Hey Linc,
Thanks for the tip! I just did that.
The Razer software is useless to me anyway, since I'm not a gamer. I just happen to love gaming mice and mousepads. They tend to be a bit juvenile looking, but they work great. The Razer ones happen to be my latest acquisitions.
Now I'll have to keep my fingers crossed. :-)

My kid likes to play video games that require a right click. What mouse would you recommend?

What mouse is best for video gaming? My son likes to play shootemup games where he has to rearrange troops and shoot aliens. The games, while ok for a mac, are best with a right click as well as left click. All I have on the MacBook Pro is a trackpad. He could get a mouse, but which one?

Record keyboard strokes and apply actions across Premiere sequence?

Hello!
I have a laborious task that needs to be completed thousands of times. To get around this torture, I would like to try recording my keyboard strokes and then apply the actions to other clips and projects. There are many automation applications out there but has anyone found something they would recommend to use within Premiere? Perhaps this already exists? The function is available inside Photoshop and AE is strong with macro scripts too - If it isn't inside PP I'll do a feature request.
Please let me know if I am missing the obvious or if you have any suggestions...
Thanks all

Some of the gaming mice let you record macros to their multiple keys, I use a Contour Shuttle that does the same.

Problems with Logitech MX1100 wheel?

Anyone else use a Logitech MX1100? I seem to have a bear of a time with the scroll wheel. Whenever I'm in the comp window, the window shutters form one resolution to another, even though my finger isn't any where near the scroll wheel to zoom.
Is there a way to turn off the scroll wheel zoom in the comp window, but have scroll active in the timeline and bin?

Well, I "upgraded" to a Razer DeathAdder Mac Edtion and couldn't be happier.
Gaming mice have very shallow button travel and the scroll wheel is exceptionally clicky. So no more accidental zooming inside the comp window. It's maybe the smoothest and most comfortable mouse I've ever used.

Macbook Pro RD Bluetooth mouse for design in bootcamp

Hy,
I am looking for a good mouse to use in my CAD modelling in bootcamp as the Magic mouse does not work properly on Bootcamp, Windows 7.
I usually went for gaming mices because they last longer and are better quality. Now I am interested in Razer Orochi 2013 bluetooth wireless mouse.
It is a compact gaming mouse that can be conected eighter by wire or bluetooth and I think it would be a good choice.
Did anyone experienced or own/owned this mice ?
Or does anyone have better examples of good quality wireless mices for design ?
Or if anyone knows how to make the magic mouse have a good respond to my comands in bootcamp ?
Thank you

Hello gerwintiemens,
I recommend resetting your SMC and your PRAM. Perhaps even a safeboot as well.
