I play starcraft(bw and now sc2) a lot and I've had the salmosa ever since it came out, its prediction doesn't really bother me but I needed a higher DPI mouse so I ordered the abyssus about 1 month ago, despite the fact that people are complaining about how the aby jitters on cloth pads, most notably the Qck's.
well, I got a qck+ so I thought ,ok, if it's that bad i will just have to give up on the trusty qck and buy a new hard pad instead.
So my abyssus arrived, shape feels good(quite similar to the salmosa in some way), coated surface is excellent, etc, over all I like it a lot, played a couple of games with it on my Qck didn't feel any skipping or jittering, so I pulled up the good old Paint and started drawing lines and circles.
the circles were smooth and the lines were straight.... WHAT? that can't be true! its supposed to jitter all over the place on the qck i thought? So I grabbed my roommate's razer exactmat and did the same test over and over again between the 2 pads, the results were identical throughout: the abyssus is fine on cloth pads, at least on my Qck+.
What gives?
Only the older models jitter ,the new ones apparently have new firmware that doesnt have jitter. Unfortunately you cant update the firmware on them.
