Yea, it's common knowledge to buy T1 and ignore T2.. you might get lucky and those T1s could net you an expensive T3 in the end too.
I had my mouse die on me 2 days ago (Razer Naga). I have a new one ordered and being shipped but last night I decided to play the Ascended mode with a standard windows mouse and holy shit... I couldn't control my character like AT ALL. I had the sensitivity & speed cranked to max and it was still unplayable. I felt like I was bronze V. The windows mouse just couldn't cross the screen quick enough, I had the Naga setup to be able to cross the entire screen with very little movement (like less than .5 inches of hand movement, and the cursor moved fast). The windows mouse I had to physically move my hand about 3-5 inches just to get it to where the game's screen will move, and it moved at about half the speed, or worse, than the Naga... and this was with everything cranked to MAX.
I guess this is the type of situation where you use the camera lock function to stay on your guy, cause it was work to see anything and it was like damn near impossible to use skills properly. I was spending too much effort getting the camera to pan.
I had no idea how much a mouse could affect things in this game. I mention this cause I bet there are a ton of players out there that are handicapping themselves with shitty PC components. If anyone watched me play it seriously looked like Bronze V shit. I always wondered how there could be plays that look so terrible but I just discovered one reason for it.
I never had a mouse die before so I avoided Razer this time and ordered the Logitech G502 Proteus Core. Hopefully this can last me longer than the 5 years that the Razer did.
