Just tried the Kone Pure Optical...perfect sensor (tape-trick required, though) and decent buttons, but sadly, the texture is slippery and the grip cramps my hand.
Not sure what other options I have since the Kana v2 and g400 don't fit my grip either :/
It's a real pity, I love everything about the Zowie evo EC2 CL, but the bit of jitter really bugs me.
The reason why some of these AVAGO 3090 mice have 3-5 CDs LOD (and why some people end up using the tape-fix) is because the LOD is directly related to the surface tracking capabilities of the AVAGO 3090 sensor. The lower the LOD, less surfaces it can track on and it can have some problems with certain colored mousepads.
For an example, the
CM Storm Recon (which isn't in the picture, sorry) does not tracks when placed over the
Thermaltake's Red Dragon when the LOD is set to "1" (which is the lowest possible), but it can track perfectly when configured to "3", "4" or "5".
Now, here on the wood desk on which my computer is:
The
CM Storm Recon does NOT tracks in any other
LOD besides "5", and even still the tracking is not exactly "perfect", it still fails on a lot of moments.
What I'm trying to say, is that although having the lowest
LOD possible increases the mouse's "accuracy",
LOD adjustment settings may end up helping users on cases where the mouse's being used on a low-quality mouse-pad or surface. If someone wants to use an AVAGO 3090 mouse with the lowest
LOD possible, I strongly recommend buying a good black cloth mouse-pad.
Now, let's think about what sort of mousepads Roccat offers to their clients:
Just think how ridiculous it'd be if the Roccat Kone Pure Optical were to not work properly on that mousepad...
Anyways, yes, a high LOD is a bad thing, but being unable to track on certain colors/surfaces is just as bad too, thus companies need to find a balance between both of them.
