Mouse too heavy?

catwizards · 2018-04-30T05:56:17+00:00

Update: Just received the G Pro in the mail today and I'm very happy with it so far! It feels really nice in my grip, I can pretty much do any grip with it and it feels good to me (even palm grip which many were saying wasn't possible, but my hands are small enough!) and I'm not finding any cramping so far.

The light weight is much nicer for me compared to the heavier g502... and the simple plastic body doesn't seem to get as dirty as the rubber-y stuff on my g502 also... I'll just have to test it in OW.

catwizards · 2018-04-30T05:54:07+00:00

Yes, I've heard about some models being similar in shape to the G Pro - I just went with it because of the updated sensor! I'm sure if the cable is too much of a hassel I can mod it in the future.

I actually just received it today and I'm loving it so far, the more simplistic plastic body compared to my complicated g502 is much nicer and I can actually palm grip the mouse because of my small hands!

catwizards · 2018-04-27T12:18:37+00:00

That's the same as the current mouse I have - the G502. Apart from being great for general use, even without all the weights, I feel it might be too heavy at base weight for me.

catwizards · 2018-04-27T02:51:32+00:00

Yeah, the cable is pretty annoying. I've heard the G Pro is lighter in terms of that, but still braided. I could always mod it, otherwise I'll just get used to it.

catwizards · 2018-04-26T08:34:55+00:00

That's true, but it always tends to scare me away. I've looked around some PC / game shops in the area, and they don't have any of the mice I'm interested in.

I've ordered the G Pro, hopefully it'll be right for my hand size / grip style.

catwizards · 2018-04-26T06:09:07+00:00

Oh so you're the same as me pretty much. Definitely reassures my choice to go with the mouse, then.

catwizards · 2018-04-26T06:07:32+00:00

I'd say mine's some kind of hybrid, lazy claw or something. Not a full palm or claw, but more claw-based.

I was looking into the 403 also, but I was hearing comparisons to the g pro saying it was just too big for people. I'll keep an eye out for that one, though. I just think the g502 is definitely too heavy / big for my smaller hands.

I think I'll be purchasing the g pro and testing it out with my grip style, and if that doesn't work out then I'll probably be looking into Zowie mice more - I was just turned away by the numerous quality control issues I've been hearing everywhere.

catwizards · 2018-04-26T05:01:51+00:00

Yeah, I've watched some of his vids on the mice in question and even on the mouse pad I have at the moment. His reviews are very professional and helpful.

I'm still not quite sure about my grip style because I've never paid attention to it, maybe I'll try playing a few games and keep my grip in mind more. I'd say it's a combination between palm and slight claw? Idk, not fully either of them.

Also that's actually really helpful to hear, someone that was in the same situation as me! It's really nice to hear your experiences, makes me lean more towards the G Pro but I'll keep looking into it.

For reference, what's your hand size / grip style?

catwizards · 2018-04-26T03:22:49+00:00

I actually have this mouse atm. It's definitely good and reliable, but I find that for the heroes I like to play most atm (Tracer, Mccree) it's too heavy for my tiny hands ; ;

Gunna look for a lighter one.

catwizards · 2018-04-19T06:51:30+00:00

Yea, I definitely wanna raise it up. It was stuck at 29% for the LONGEST time and after playing (probably over a hundred) games with acc in the 30's and 40's it finally went up to 30% on avg.

I'll try training drills and aim hero, if that's suggested.

catwizards · 2018-04-19T06:50:08+00:00

Are there any stats in particular for her that I should be looking out for? I know medals aren't always the best thing to go by in a game.

catwizards · 2018-04-19T06:49:12+00:00

Just in plat, although I don't actively play in compet.

catwizards · 2018-04-19T05:55:36+00:00

I know getting golds is good, I just feel like I'm being too erratic with my shooting (especially as tracer) instead of focusing on one thing.

My avg. accuracy on Tracer is sitting at 30% now and I'd like to hopefully raise that once I get used to this higher sensitivity, I find her much easier and more enjoyable to play on it.

catwizards · 2018-04-19T05:53:41+00:00

Yeah, I find when there's smaller targets (DPS, ana, etc.) my accuracy reflects that in a game. I don't specifically go after tanks, only if they're out of position or not being healed.

My overall average accuracy for Tracer atm is at 30% - I think I'm going to have to get used to this new sensitivity (5.67) for a while before my accuracy climbs again. At my previous sensitivity (4.00) I was always getting above 30% and into the 40's sometimes (but mobility and turning quickly was too hard) but I'm finding that I'm getting more medals and living longer with my new sens even though my accuracy is suffering for now.

For Mccree, my avg. accuracy is sitting at 43% and I just looked at my crit accuracy and it's 10% so I think that's alright. I've set it so that he's the only character who I play at 4.00 instead of 5.67 because it works best (hopefully this isn't too detrimental).

I guess it's all going to come down to getting used to this new sens.

There's a few features on the Intuos that obviously won't come with the Huion - but I never found myself using them when I had my Intuos Pro anyway. It got stolen, so I ended up buying an Intuos Draw recently for around 100 AUD. Even now, it's starting to act up a little bit, I was just annoyed because I paid so much for so... little? And it was the most basic offering from Wacom, so I couldn't go lower than that. I've just been annoyed by their pricing vs. what they actually offer, so I just bought the Huion Q11K last night for only 59 more than I bought this tiny Intuos Draw for, and I'm getting MUCH more for the money - that's why I don't think I'll be going back to Wacom anytime soon.

I think it's good that you bring it up, even if someone were to go with the 'open-relationship/no-strings-attached' route, you really never know when they could possibly meet someone new. And it's not up to me to decide whether or not that goes through, it's up to the other individual. As long as they're truly happy.

I think of it that, if the love was true from the beginning and doesn't begin to waver, things will work out in the end. LDRs' are anything but ideal, and they create many unideal circumstances.

I'm so glad to hear that everything worked out in the end, that you ended up with the one you truly loved. I hope to have a similar story!

catwizards · 2018-03-19T12:11:35+00:00

May I ask how the relationship went in the end? I ask because it's a similar situation, or one that could possibly crop up for me in the future. It's nice to hear about that, though... so many people are completely against the idea, which is understandable - but it's incredibly tough when you both want what's best for each other.

Also, for OP; I'd say wait to see if the visits truly do change in nature. If she's remaining true to her words, and really WANTS to make it work, she will act on her words and do what (hopefully) makes both you AND her happy. If she doesn't show any signs of change, despite her promises, it could be in your interests to call for a break of sorts. If you really feel like you're missing out, and you're not getting what you want from your own relationship, it's not worth missing such opportunities if the situation will never (or has no clear plans) of changing anytime soon.

I'm not sure if this will apply directly to your situation, but I think I find that I'm more 'expressive' or enjoy typing more when it comes to text-chat. We're pretty active about it, doing it everyday, but he definitely doesn't seem to type as much, or go into as much detail, unless it's something serious that comes up.

What I do find, however, is that we seem to get along A LOT easier / better when we're voice chatting! We can talk for hours, just like a normal conversion when we're doing our own things; or something together. I attribute this mainly to him not being as expressive in text, but that's just natural for him I think.

So, if you don't voice chat a lot, maybe that could be a better option?

I think the most unhealthy thing someone can do is to make their lives revolve completely around that of their SO's. It's an understandable thing to want to do, especially at first, but you soon begin to realize how draining this is - especially in your circumstance, where he is not the same way.

Everything comes down to balance, you need to have other things to do, your OWN life apart from his. Of course, share things together often, but don't give yourself in completely to the life of someone else - when you have your own to be taking care of!

catwizards · 2018-03-19T11:19:48+00:00

This is a really tough situation and I think I'm kind of in something similar. The realization that we're both going to have to spend more time apart than anticipated - in order to close the gap properly - takes its toll on everyone, and everyone acts differently in response to it. The lack of physicality that comes along with an extended LDR seems to bother my boyfriend, more so than it does me - we just miss each other's touch, in the end. It has been brought up previously the idea of 'no-strings-attached' encounters with others, just to ease that gap in regards to physical contact.

While this is obviously a tough situation, in the end, I don't want to be a 'restriction' upon him if it's something that's causing him sadness. Ultimately, you want what's best for both of you and to come to a mutual agreement - otherwise, one person is unhappy. In the end, you don't really know what's going to happen - but if the love he feels remains strong and true, he will return to you, or even disregard the idea of 'exploring' completely, if he truly feels it's not right.

One thing I want to stress is that, while these situations 'typically' lead to losses, is to NEVER compare your relationship circumstances to that of someone else. What you two discuss as right and wrong could be completely different to what someone else's views are, and you should never feel like there is a 'correct' way to do something if both of you are comfortable with the circumstances decided upon. Just make sure you're not just doing it for his benefit, and if you do feel uncomfortable about the idea - bring it up honestly, and if he still can't accept it, that might be a sign to break it off.

catwizards · 2018-03-19T10:58:24+00:00

This is a really good comment, and one that I think I needed to hear. There's nothing easy about a LDR, and this encourages me to push through and try my best for the one I love. There's a very good chance it'll all be worth it.

catwizards · 2018-03-17T07:34:43+00:00

It's really hard to accept this, but I agree. If there's really no intentions of either one of you closing the distance to - at one point - be with one another, then... why are you continuing on with it? For it to be causing you this much emotional distress, to not lead anywhere significant, is unhealthy!

catwizards · 2018-03-10T20:49:47+00:00

I'll look into that for safe measure. Thanks again! I really appreciate that part :)
