We were quite pleased with the Revoltec Fightboard we got our hands on recently, so we decided to take the Fightmouse out for a spin too. Read on to find out if it held up as well as the keyboard did.

Who actually uses the fast switch sens. on their mouse?

I always saw it as a useless feature.

Shape looks cool, but definitely not for a palm-gamer. That scrolling speed changing method sounds stupid, I would much prefer my G7s simple up-down buttons.

PS wheres the review for the Fightboard? I've never even heard of it somehow...

I use it sometimes for games at home, just so I don't have to fiddle with the in game sensitivity settings. It's also handy for when I want to watch movies at home, I just turn the screen round and grab the mouse. Sitting on the couch and with the sensitivity high I can control everything with the mouse balanced on my knee or running over the back of my free hand. Works a treat.

I use the sensitivity switch sometimes, it's handy in stuff like games and photoshop (usually I switch it to a lower setting).
Is it me or in this series of gaming reviews, I have not seen one Logitech product reviewed? The company widely believed to make some of the best gaming peripherals?

Both my mouse and joystick are Logitech, and they're excellent for games. lets see some of their stuff!

me all the time, my razer one works by holding a button down and scrolling. There are 10 sensitivity settings and the setting is displayed on the screen. Works well. Very usefull if detial work in image touching up is needed or for switching from twitch games to slower ones.

capnPedro · 27th May 2007, 22:32

I used to sensitivity switch all the time in games with my G5, but now not so much. I still do it in Photoshop, though.

As for gaming, I just cranked my sensitivity and speed all the way up and learned to make smaller, more precise movements. I'm now a "twitch gamer" - I can pretty much spin 360* with a 3cm movement. Makes reacting and aiming quickly real nice.

On the down side, when anyone else tries to use my mouse, they can't click on a thing because the cursor moves right across the screen. At least the "decrease sensitivity" button gets a workout!

wafflesomd · 28th May 2007, 02:56

I just never use the quick dpi switch.

On the G5, it's well place, but I just never used it, it gives me absolutley no advantage in games.

On my Razer, its too out of place, on the bottom corner, yah, sry razer, but that hurts to push.

DarkLord7854 · 28th May 2007, 06:51

I don't get the need for uber mices.. I have this feller: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16826105122

And I can't imagine trading it for a different mouse, it's never given me problems, I plug it and go, works superbly, never had the need to increase the sensitivity or speed.
And it was only 15$

r4tch3t · 28th May 2007, 06:57

I have the MX518 and I use the dpi settings, high (1600) for tanks, turrets, mid (800) for standard running round shooting, and low (400) for sniping.

The_Beast · 28th May 2007, 07:00

looks kinda ugly but that is just me

antiHero · 28th May 2007, 09:55

I think i stay with my G11/G5 combo!

I use the sensitivity all the time as i use differnt in different games and desktop settings.
