Yeah gonna give this a shot soon, thanks for the info!

It's a big difference in shape over the entire-hand-resting g400s, but over the course of a few days my hand relaxed and I got used to it, definitely for the better.

Coming from an MX510 which is the exact same shape as the G500s (I have one of those too), I tried the EC1-A, FK1, and ZA11.

I use a g500s on my work laptop when I'm home - it's sitting next to me right now - and I can't imagine going back to that type of mouse for CS or other aim intensive games.

Joining in on mousechat because the mouse thread is great, but people take things besides CSGO into account. I went from MX500 to MX518 to G500s, and am considering getting a new mouse. I was looking at the 900s because I love love love the concept of a wireless mouse that apparently has good enough latency to work competitively, but am interested to hear that you wouldn't go back to that style. Is it the shape/size, the weight, the cord, or some combination that you like better for CS? I have large hands with long spindly fingers, so it might be a difference that wouldn't matter for me.

I have a microphone I will send in the mail to a goon free of charge with a promise it will be used. It's kinda loud though, so you might have to mess with the settings or something and figure out how to save them.
Some goon is going to spend the next month wondering why everybody constantly yells at them to shut up when they get on the mic until somebody tells them it's just spewing insanely loud static.

I used the same MX510 for 13 years. It lasted through my pro cs and ns2 careers. I have a friend that's a mouse enthusiast that has tried pretty much every mouse on the market, and as another high level fps player, he suggested to try a different type of mouse that offers more control that was made for gaming (int hat it has all of the qualities in my previous longer post). I'd suggest trying the ZA11 as that has a more bulbous palm area kind of like the MX/Gs, but dips down more in front. That's also the largest one they make so it is likely to fit you better.

I just like the shape, weight, and glidey-ness of the FK2, but I don't think that would fit you. Maybe the FK1 would be big enough but idunno.

For reference the ZA11 and FK1 are both 128mm long, the MX/Gs are 127

The one I use (FK2) is 124


PS all of the fluff at the beginning was to demonstrate how you can do a lot with one mouse but still be able to change and perform at a high or even higher level. I definitely think moving away from the MX style has improved my aim

Did I mention I really liked my old MX510?

I will say it can be a bitch to figure out where the bomb is, but if you aren't stupid and know the map layout you should generally be able to make a pretty accurate call re: players.
