"Hyperesponse buttons" sound like something that will cause a truckload of accidental button clicks. You know, hypersensitive buttons.

Meanwhile, CS pros are still playing on 400 dpi. That being said, I am all about the DeathAdder and will also be replacing it with more DeathAdders as they break, lol. The dpi is such nonsense imo though.

I'll stick to my Roccat Kova thank you. Last time i bought a mouse from Razer, the right click was already broken, then when i pressed the left click that one broke too. And that was straight out of the box brand new XD

16000 dpi, ok I'm sold, I'm getting one - my 12000dpi is just too slow! You know I'm not being serious, I'm really happy with my Logitech G303, the best mouse I've owned, made a difference to my gaming, very accurate sensor & low latency quick clicking. I'm thinking all these bigger numbers are getting a bit senseless (talking dpi, ips, G rating) - for instance the G303 has 12000 dpi, >40G, and >300ips - and I'm pretty sure that no gamer needs more than that already, they'd never push the acceleration & ips beyond those limits already, so bigger numbers than that are senseless in my opinion. Durability, ergonomics for specific types of grip, and perhaps creating even more accurate sensors could be a way forward though - although there are a few sensors on the market that are already considered perfect & flawless in tracking with zero acceleration, the PMW 3366 in the G303 for example (did I tell you I like that mouse!).
