I just picked up a Logitech MX510 optical gaming mouse. And I can say one thing I am very impressed. Sooo much more accurate and smooth compared to a regular optical mouse. 800pdi compared to a average optical mouse of 140.

I recommend every one gets one lol

I've never heard of the 510. I am using the 500 with absolutely no complaints

Some can see movement better and will be more accurate than others.

The accuracy of optical mice is measured thru dpi or dots per inch. The higher the number the more sensitive the mouse will track movement. Grip and comfort also come into play as there are many diff shapes to them.

I have the logitech MX500 optical wire mouse which is similar to what DK has but not quite as nice. It is by far the most comfortable mouse I have ever used.

Yeah, as the corollary of this story. I had a Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer optical mouse and with my old Dell it started losing its USB connection intermittently for like a second or so. It would happen again and again making gaming impossible and finally it would just stop working until I unplugged it and plugged it back in.
I thought it was the Dell and switched back to my old 3 button mouse. When I built my new rig, I used it again and assumed I would have no trouble. The same thing happened. On the MS Knowledge base they say that ASUS motherboards don't supply enough USB power so they don't support their USB devices on them. No list of ASUS MB model numbers... they just don't support ANY of them.

Since it happened on the Dell, I know it wasn't ASUS's fault, but I gave up and bought the Logitech MX500. Pure gaming sweetness since then. I just wish I hadn't wasted $50 on the M$ POS.

Hey Bill!! #Fist

<sigh> Thanks for letting me get that off my chest.
