Hello SoulKeeper's!! Today's post is about the right gaming equipment. Well, many people experience lag from mouse, and well, mouse is one of the most important equipment in many games. For example, a mouse which respond at 8ms and a mouse which respond at 1ms. This two figures make a huge difference. For snipers and headhunters, 1ms can kill your opponent comparing a 8ms or a 2ms response time mouse. If your opponent is using a 1ms response time mouse and you are on a 8ms response time mouse, you are likely to lose a sniper face to face shoot out.
We have mouse that deliver signals fast and some mouse that delivers signals slow to the computer. The signals are measured in Hz, this is called the polling rate. It is actually the number of times reports sent from the mouse to the computer to be processed every second. The faster the signal is send, the faster your shots are released. Thus reducing mouse lag. To continue the equipment topic, RAZER is one of the world top gaming products producer. I am using a Diamondback, Deathadder and Mamba gaming mouse. All of them produce different feel and performance.
Above here, we have the Deathadder configuration panel. Its the software provided for you to fully utilize the mouse. You will be able to store different game profiles of sensitivity and buttons functions for different games. Look closely and you will see the polling rate and the dpi.
Here we have the configuration panel for the Mamba and the Reclusa Gaming Keyboard, powered by RAZER. On the Mamba configuration panel, you will be able to see the same thing, the polling rate, sensitivity controls and the sensitivity stages. The Mamba is able to change sensitivity on the fly when you are in the middle of a game. It has dedicated switching buttons which are more efficient then the Deathadder. I will soon be covering on the Accuracy, Gaming Mousepads and the Response time in part 2.
Polling Rate
It's the number of times the mouse sends reports to the computer every second.
Over USB it's normally 125Hz i.e. 125 times a second. Which means that there's a lag of 1/125th of a second or 8ms between the mouse and the system.
Razer's Polling Rate
Razer's mice sports higher polling rates of 500Hz or more. 500Hz would mean a 2ms lag - an obvious advantage in gaming.
RAZER Diamondback : RM180 (recommended for beginners)
RAZER Deathadder : RM200 (mainstream users)
RAZER Mamba : RM450 (enthusiast users)
