    G9x on sale

    G9x is on sale for only 49.99 with promo code EMCKBHG57 over at newegg today. That is fifty percent off, so its a fairly nice deal on a 5700 dpi mouse. Just thought I would pass it along for those wanting a new mouse and had been looking at it but was out of their price range. I just ordered one myself :P

    Thanks for the heads up. I currently use this mouse and it is my absolute favorite one I have ever owned. Just got another one!

    thanks. But I hate when people say a X dpi mouse. Does anyone use more than 3000 DPI? more dpi =/= more precise

    Dammit! I literally JUST got mine in the mail from their main site for 51.99$.

    And that was only because Dell employee's get a 35% off.

    Two dollar could have bought me a new soda. :|

    I think people that do actual work with it may use the DPI more then most gamers really. I think on average most people use low dpi for sniping etc and then bump it up a little to 1200ish to 2kish for assault classes or closer up combat.

    Actually. It does. The more DPI the more precise the mouse is. So... yeah. more DPI == more precise.

    Even though someone may not use more than 3000, some do. Especially when you get into the higher resolutions.

    More DPI also gives you a much smoother pointer travel.

    P.S. If you just do a simple google for DPI, first thing that comes up is more DPI = more precise. I don't know why you ould say what you said above.

    I actually use about 2.6-2.7 for everything, then pop down to about 800 for sniping. Anything lower on my resolution absolutely kills me.

    DPI = dots per inch so let's say you set your mouse to 1200 DPI you will only use 1200dpi... therefore the 5600 DPI on your mouse is useless.. it's just marketing crap... most people don't use more than 2000 DPI really. More DPI just means your cursor will move faster... and no one needs 5600 dpi.
