starting to notice some major flaws with my G100s on the Raiden... the back feet and front feet glide very differently, so it's very inconsistent in feel on the Raiden. it gets worse the more the feet get worn out.
so... uh. ****. there's soooo little information, and so much conflicting with what works and doesn't work on this pad.
I know for a FACT that Kana v2 which is my favourite mouse, unfortunately does not work, as I've been trying it in different ways to get it to work. it just skips and bounces around.
and since it has the same sensor as Zowie AM/FK, I find it weird that the European distributor of Artisan pads say that the AM works... maybe it's a lens problem? since it has a different lens.
plus one guy sais the Zowie EC1/EC2 eVo jitters a little bit on it, whereas another guy says the FK works perfectly fine but malfunctions a bit faster...
and then there's a guy on OCN that says that the Avior 7000 (which I tried earlier btw... really nice shape and buttons) does not work, which sucks.
and it has the same sensor as the Rival, which this guy on youtube who uploads some Battlefield 4 videos, claims he uses with a Raiden... again, could be a lens problem then?
I'm so confused! I don't know what to do... no other mouse on the market has the Logitech G100s sensor, it seems... and the mice that I like with the better sensors don't work. I really don't want to give up on this mousepad, it is truly fantastic.
is there anyone who has any thoughts/advice on this silly matter of mine?
it's a bit upsetting to be honest. maybe a Kana v1...? as it's supposed to work according to manufacturer.
I recently gave my Kinzu v2 (same sensor/lens as Kana v1) away so I can't test it with that, but that'd be nice. sure, sensor isn't perfect, but I was happy with the Kinzu v2 - it just was too narrow for my rather large hands.
I may have answered my own question here but I'd kinda like to know how the buttons on the Kana v1 are, and feel/quality of the plastic case?
OR if anyone knows any similarly shaped mice with the same sensor perhaps, but good quality buttons? I really feel a bit spoiled with good switches...
thanks!
actually a small update: going to call up a local computer store here on Friday and see if I can try the Rival with my Raiden, since I do kind of like it despite being a bit bigger and heavier than what I normally use. it has a rather grippable shape for me and I use my thumb to do most gripping and lifting, and it has a fantastic thumb rest spot.
the Kana I went to a friend's place to try it, and it just feels ****ty. buttons are meh and plastic casing isn't as nice as the V2. I don't trust it'll last me long enough, since he only had his for 6 months and isn't a heavy gamer although a heavy computer user in general.
so, Rival's up next... I'll update for everyone interested, maybe see if I can somehow get some MSPaint drawings at the store as well.
Rival edit2:
HOLY **** THIS SENSOR IS AMAZING! I must have forgotten what a good sensor was like but it's so responsive.
it's almost jitter free on my Raiden and max speed is impossible for me to reach omg omg omg and I freaking love the grip. weight is on the higher side but I'm a strong swole swedish viking so it's no biggie, just preference.
buttons are weeeeeeeird but feel quality. will just get used to, I think. since they're not bad.
disco light warning when updating firmware, my eyes got a bit of a shock from it.
highly recommend this mouse for right handers. it's really good. I will test it in games later and update again, with MSPaint images showing the (low) jitter if anyone's interested.
so I wonder... why is the Avior 7000 not working well, despite having supposedly the same sensor under a different name? :/
I'm wondering if there are variations. optical LED colour maybe?
now I just need to fix my cable management and... yeah... it has the worst cable mess ever.
