Gaming and Working

All work...

We do a lot of work here at FS, in Photoshop, and of course, web surfing. The MX1000 is flawless. Although, we can't really say there is any noticeable difference when compared to optical mice, this mouse is very accurate. When dealing with photoshop, even being one pixel off can mean the difference between a correct and a wrong image. We don't think this should be elaborated any more. Basically, if you want the mouse cursor to be at point X,Y - the MX1000 will get you there as if you were the prime minister of England, and the mouse were a Maybach.

Colorful!

A mouse review on a gaming site wouldn't be complete without inserting our findings when playing an FPS game. Up for the job, is our very-well-played copy of Call of Duty; multiplayer, of course. This reviewer focuses most of his online gaming hours playing CoD deathmatch. With the MX1000 was his weapon, it didn't disappoint. For readers who have stayed away from cordless mice because of their 'lag' to respond to your mouse movements, especially in FPS games, let us put that issue to rest: there is no lag (or was it, that there is no spoon?). Playing at least 10 hours of multiplayer CoD with the handle 'Fritz Burger' always yielded a first or second position on the kill list, at least on the maps that this reviewer likes and is familiar with.

What we did notice, however, that when setting up the mouse sensitivity settings, we had to up the slider to a setting two times more sensistive than an optical mouse, with which we used to play CoD before we received the MX1000. After setting the higher-sensitivity slider to its new position, CoD became smooth, and boy, did the allied tangoes go down.

Taking things down in terms of mouse-twitching-action, we tried playing Rise of Nations with the mouse. Needless to say, taking control of our armies and cities was a breeze with the MX1000.
