So yeah I got my Logitech Optical Notebook Mouse Plus (USB)..

So the big thing about this mouse is its portability. One, it’s small and two, the cord winds up around the base.

Size comparison with my diamondback:

The cord winds up and the usb thing snaps onto the bottom:

A few negatives. First, there are no extra side buttons. This is an even bigger deal because my notebook lacks a numpad.

Two, the dpi is pretty low. I mean for normal people it’s totally adequate but if you play games, it really sucks to have to move your hand so much to get from one side of the screen to the next. The accuracy was great however; with my diamondback, I occasionally have problems with clicking precise locations. That’s probably because I have sensitivity set pretty high though.. but you’d think with 1600 dpi it wouldn’t be a problem. (although there are like 4000 dpi laser mice HAH)

Finally, the small size might be a problem too. I got used to it pretty quick and I have relatively big hands, but if you really hold your mouse instead of fingering it then you might want to stay away from small mice.

So I got my laptop.. it’s pretty nice. Very slick. Some minor complaints like a bunch of yahoo stuff being integrated into the desktop (which I haven’t figured out how to get rid of). I didn’t think 15.4″ would be so big.. but then again I’m sure I would probably complain about 14.1″ being too small :p

I had a hard time deciding on what mouse to buy. I was considering another Diamondback.. but I don’t really like how it’s ambidextrous.. makes the right side buttons really hard to use.

So then Tim recommended Logitech VX Revolution.. but I decided against it cause it’s wireless.

In the end I ordered Logitech Mini Optical Soccer edition on Darren’s recommendation.. kinda basic mouse but small and cheap :p Plus Bisu[Shield] (last year’s top Starcraft prize money winner) uses it.

I ordered it from this cheap scammish site with low ratings though.. but it’s supposed to be “new” so hopefully no problems..

PGL is starting to give me a pretty big headache. So yeah I didn’t get any of the gosu teams I was aiming for but I didn’t let that bug me too much.. you can still have a nice league w/o top teams. FFS though I hate dealing with these noobs who can’t schedule on time, can’t submit lineups correctly.. it’s like WOW I’m turning into mr. angry admin.

OK rant off.
