In contrary to popular belief, shooter games were just as popular 5 years ago as they are today. On another forum I frequent, someone said something along the lines of, "You know why that guy just headshot you? Because he had a better mouse." Complete bullshit. Back in the day of Counterstrike, people were getting headshots with ball mice.

For all practical purposes, it's the quality of the sensor that matters, not the scanning resolution. It's the same reason why some digital cameras with huge resolution (7+ MP) are sold for dirt cheap, while other models with seemingly comparable specs are much more expensive.
Yeah I see what you're getting at, I was just kind of put off that for the price of the mouse, It doesn't give me the most functionality they could have... I'm not that worried about the whole dpi issue. Infact I'd have been none the wiser had I not read about you guys changing it on your mice... All in all I still love the mouse, and now I can just rid myself of the setpoint software altogether.
