You got 2 different ones then? Cause those are 2 different mice

Damn it, you got me!

A good headset is the most overrated peripheral ever. Why where Sennheiser headphones when you can use this!

Well, they're the best headphones I've used, anyway. That wasn't exactly my point though. You can get a relatively decent heady at a relatively decent price--just like there are gaming mice that are pretty cheap too. New Teflon on a new surface not only performs better, but it feels terrific. The same is relatively true when it comes to other peripherals too. It's not "all about the brand," that's just stupid. To say that the example (crap dell OEM mouse) is comparable in performance and comfort (and build) to a Death Adder or a G9 is insanity.

What noise canceling headphones did you get for $40 btw? Active noise canceling? I have a pair of JVC active noise canceling headphones that I use on the train, and they're surprisingly good but were almost twice that. I'd be interested to compare, because I know a few people who really like these and wouldn't mind saving a few bucks if they're good. I do love my Sennheiser heady though. It's by far the best headphone+mic all-in-one unit i've encountered.

Maybe it is a skill issue? The more you demand from your hardware in terms of consistency as well as customization makes a difference.

My G9: Being able to ramp up to 3200dpi and then down to 400dpi on the fly is a great feature. The claw-style grip of the G9 does allow for more fine tuned movements. The solid click wheel is extremely consistent (with the option to quickly change it to a free roll), and the body design is solid. The adjustable weights gives it the right heft for your style and the feet are not only extremely smooth by the most durable I have seen. Even the cord which is an ultraslick fiber braid glides with extremely low friction. The FW/Back buttons and programability + high poll rates gives some nice options.

I had an MX500 before this and it was good--reliable, high DPI, well built, and comfortable. But the G9 blows it away in every way. The MX500 was showing a lot of wear that my G9 isn't showing at a similar stage in life. The G9 also adapted to my preferences (it has MULTIPLE shells, multiple weights, customizable scroll wheel, programmable buttons, and OTF dpi adjustments) so instead of learning a new mouse I just set it to how I naturally use it and it became like a glove.

Sure, some people may just adapt really well. They might also not care when their plastic mouse cord catches once in a while (my G9 never catches whereas the MX500 cord, due to its material, was prone like normal mice to catch on stuff). The cheap stuff is really light (maybe a preference of some?) and cheap to replace. OTF dpi changes or high DPI may not be important to their style of play, nor maybe programmable buttons or claw style grips.

On the other hand I love the fact in Reach I had a ton of options on my mouse

Thumb: Back, Forward
Index: Left Mouse, dpi OTF
Middle: Scroll Up/Down/Button
Ring: Right Mouse

That is 7 buttons + dpi changes. All well placed and comfortable.

And all for $20.

When I click my left house button something always goes wrong

You won't be disappointed.

tbh i just keep it cranked up in most games and adjust the sensitivity in game.. I do have an older Deathadder but I'd probably do the same on a new one too in most cases.

It does have a profile switch btw (five profiles) where you could adjust the DPI but it's not a convenient solution and it's on the bottom of the mouse.
