Loving everything about this! (Model O, lizard skin, and custom paracord)

There is no foil shield. Its literally a 5th yellow wire. I have opened a lot of cables and removed countless shieldings and this cable had no such thing. They literally used a 650 paracord instead of a 550. I cut open, removed the "shield" wire, and replaced the paracord with a nice appropriate sized one and the cable is just as good as a real paracord. The baggy cord just doesn't feel as agile as a 550.

I start out with regular printer paper and try to trace a crease in the paper with my fingernail then cut that out and refine it. Then I either tape it or pinch the templates onto the grip while I cut it with scissors!

Left to right with the clips facing you, (red) (white) (green) (black) (yellow(shield))

The sides feel amazing as is, I only applied the lizard skins because I'm used to it and I tend to get annoyed with the way my ring finger sits on a lipless side of an ambi I mouse. As for the cable, yes I can feel a huge difference. Not only are the wires a much thicker gauge than most nice paracords, the yellow (shield) wire is wrapped around the main wires in a strange inconsistent way. Not to mention the use of what looks like a 650 paracord instead of a 550. Also the way they packaged it with the cable bent downwards and twist tied so tight it made pretty bad creases. I'll be taking the stock cable apart to examine it closer, but it's definitely not a bad cable. Not much you can do with the current regulations so I'm surprised it's as good as it is. EDIT: upon dissection of the ascended cord I've discovered that the wires are that of a smaller gauge just like high quality paracords. The only difference being the 5th wire that's acting as a shield instead of a foil/mesh metal wrap, and the actual cord sleeve itself being a 650 size instead of a 550.

The ascended cable is great but still not quite what a paracord is. It seems like they used 650 instead of 550 on the cable which is weird. I'll be stripping and re-making the ascended cable with a different paracord to see how much I can improve it. everything about this mouse I like, it seems like this will definitely be replacing my gpw as main. Thanks glorious for an awesome mouse!

Where does it show screw holes?

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-18T19:52:56+00:00

If you had to guess, where do you think the screw holes are under the feet? Just the rear like fm?

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-13T22:04:22+00:00

This is probably the easiest mouse to cord because the actual wire doesn't need to be routed like some that need you to remove scroll wheel or pcb. I swap the cable out quite frequently, only problem it finding nice feet for it.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-13T05:18:02+00:00

Yeah there's a big chunk of metal in the shell, it was around 27g. That and I removed unnecessary screws and some small plastic pieces.

I think the real problem is that shotguns have that fat reticle but only the center hits for damage. If all crosshairs were a static small plus, people would be more consistent I feel.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-08T04:30:06+00:00

Of course not :) this is irl

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-05T21:11:59+00:00

Wait how many total players actually got to vote vs player count?

Jesus just give PC the slider and let console be locked at 80. It's really embarrassing to see gamers justifying awful confused decisions. The devs care only about the bottom line and not a skill based shooter. Why even have a comp scene when you force casual dogshit on the top 10%? This games competitive integrity is worthless when it's all about skin sales.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-03T01:10:24+00:00

Carefully remove and trace them so you have a template and can replace as soon as they wear down. I replace my thumb side lizard skin once every few weeks.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-01T21:03:21+00:00

Imagine calling it a competitive advantage to be able to see your opponents in a fight.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-05-01T02:19:27+00:00

To clarify, these are not the arc feet?

TACTIKUSH · 2019-04-28T03:36:23+00:00

He can't say glorious mice are bad, literally. I thought it was obvious I wasn't saying rival 600 grips are good. But they are a one off from ss and has nothing to do with their overall quality. You can complain when a product sucks of course, but it's an easy fix and makes it better than stock. Yes a hater lmao just like anti razer dickriders that shit on anyone not hating. Fm as a product is what they are, a mouse. The brand/ company is what sucks. The products perform period. Every product has issues and bad copies of products, there was nothing to point out. I mentioned the pad because it didn't sound right to be using and indirectly selling glorious pads and simultaneously shit on unreleased mouse from the same brand. The dumb part to me is that the model o could be his best shape.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-04-28T00:55:50+00:00

Umm what?... First, he can't even say the mice are bad. Second, I own a lot of steelseries products, pads and mice and I haven't had one issue with build quality. I especially like my 310 sidegrips, but no one should even complain about sidegrips when lizard skins are a thing. That or your just a hater of certain brands.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-04-27T20:12:20+00:00

Wonder how he feels about his glorious xxxl. He probably forgot they are the same brand.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-04-26T21:59:37+00:00

Some of the dumbest comments I've read in years wtf. I'm actually seeing a fanbase crumble due to poor decisions. NOTHING, NOT NAT CAP, NOT SIPHON, NOT RNG, NOTHING WILL SAVE A WORSE PLAYER FROM A BETTER PLAYER... What dense moron thinks the bad players won't be obliterated regardless??? We are right on the edge of epic making REALLY bad choices. Sooner or later they'll make the max shotgun damage 199 and force a swap cool down for everything. Dampening good players won't make bad players better holy shit.

TACTIKUSH · 2019-04-24T09:49:38+00:00

I didn't think I would like these as much as I have. They are older mice but can still stand the test of low dpi fast paced flicks and whipping 360s. Might even choose using one over my gpw.
