A product is not obsolete when a new and better one comes out.
It becomes obsolete when it can no longer perform it's original function good enough to satisfy the needs of the user.

Obsolete also means outdated, which the MX518 is.


Really, just do an ABX test. It's easy,test both settings and ...

No, it isn't as long as it doesn't perceivably limit the users. "Moral" obsolescence is bullshit.

Well, if you cant perceive the difference between angle snapping + 125hz and minimal angle snapping and 1000hz you frankly dont need a gaming mouse.
…and your logical fallacy is the false dilemma ...

If you can discern 8ms vs 1ms of "lag" due to polling rate you are not a gamer, you are a machine.
Angle snapping maybe, polling rate...no...First of all you are most likely refresh rate limited. If you cannot see with better resolution than 17ms, you can't even begin to react fast enough for ...

It has nothing to do with CPI, A3080/A3080E + 125hz only simply is obsolete in Comparison to 402´s AM010.

That might be because it is obsolete these days.

The 2nd Sensor was only there for calibration and lift off, and as you should be able to see, it later got scrapped because there are no benefits in combination with S9818 or 9819, even the latest PTE Generation doesnt need it for lift off and unintentional movement.

True 8200cpi isnt quite ...

Sensor is only one part of the whole "machinery"(anyone remembering the spawn release disaster?).

palm grip, budget less than 30 quid ( GBP)

Well that Palm Grip certainly limits the Options, the only decent options i know of are the Corsair M30, the Epicgear Blade, and the CM Storm Alcor, with the Alcor being the objectively best option, altough depending on your Hand size it might be too ...

It is certainly worth more than that just through the Components, altough that doesnt change the Fact that it is OEM.

I don’t even want to know the production costs ¿5? €, ¿10? €). People would probably feel fooled if the knew :cry:

A white glossy Version of the Rival got released a few weeks ago, you might want to take a look at that.

Altough it is quite evil, but for starters, what about making your own ID?

Also the Productlineup needs some streamlining.

I am late to the party and altough the thread in itself is quite silly i´ll contribute to it:

I would put Xornet not into the low end but into the low/mid end like this ...
