What's the best way to configure a mouse for gaming?

..still using mineLove the narrow middle as i tend to flick the mouse with thumb and third finger rather than have my hand resting on top.
Yeah perfectly fits my hand and grip style, light enough to throw around and responsive enough mostly to keep up with me...
Only mouse I've found to have a better sensor for gaming is the DeathAdder and as I said unfortunatly it bulges out on the right side on the front half too much to suit my grip
One other thing: I've been playing COD4 this weekend but one slightly annoying thing I've had to deal with is a bit of mouse skipping when I lift it of the mat to readjust my hand position. Is this normal? My mouse doesn't skip like that when I use it on my desk - only when I use it on my mat.
Don't get me wrong, the mat is excellent. I have really improved since getting it but this one thing is a bit of a pain in the backside. Is there anything I can do to sort it? Should I send it back or is that something that most people just deal with?

LOL! I can only refer once again to your original post about the MS 1.1a - I just tested that out on my new mat and it works fine (just a tiny bit of movement after I lift the mouse up off the mat, nothing really noticable)
What do you do about the skipping Rroff? Are there any tricks to stop it or minimise its effects?
I suppose one way is just to lift the mouse up less and use the whole of your mouse mat, but even if you do that you will still have to lift it up sometimes because you will run out of mat real estate at some point.
I'm seriously considering just sending my mat back, because my new mouse seems to work better on my wooden desk overall (it's slightly less accurate, but skipping isn't a problem). Or maybe I could get the 'Control' version of the Goliathus (I'm using the 'Speed' version at the moment) - maybe that would help.
Razer Copperhead setup so that i can change the DPI 'on-the-fly' ...
i have it very sensitive for normal gaming specially FPS and then switch to a lower setting for sniping
there are plenty of mice that have these options but the above if the most comfortable bar none ..

"What's the best way to configure a mouse for gaming?"
Turn the sensitivity all the way down in your games, and get a Razer mouse that has 'on-the-fly' DPI switching and set them to suitable intervals.
I don't know if the Salmosa has that option though, I know the old school Diamondback's did and for anyone else reading the new Mamba sure as hell does and it's sweet. Running about 3000 DPI usually.

I've been looking into this problem some more. I even emailed Razer. Seems like the Salmosa has a pretty high 'lift-off distance', which is not good for me because I life my mouse a lot. The guy at Razer just said I'll need to lift my mouse higher off the mat than usual - but that won't cut it. It's hard to get used to that.
I'm gonna try updating the drivers and if that doesn't work I might return it.
Can anyone recommend a mouse with a very low lift-off distance?

If you're into splashing out, the Mamba won't respond if you lift it more than about 2mm at most.
If not, the Diamondback stops responding after about 4mm.

I avoid laser mice, neither the WMO or deathadder suffer from enough skipping to be noticeable in gaming or desktop use.
Yeah, the WMO is fine, but don't the DA and the Salmosa have the same sensor, the 3G infrared @ 1800dpi?
If you've used the DA and found it to be a solid mouse with low lift off, that leads me to believe that the problem is actually with the mat (the Goliathus speed). I don't have another mat to test that theory out on, but the lift-off distance on my desk is minimal, same as the WMO.
Can I ask which mat you used when you were using the DA? I could buy that one and see how the Salmosa performs.

QPAD hybratek, eh? I'll look into that. I've read elsewhere that that works very well with the 3G sensor, so that shoudl be the way to go.
I just did the old CD test for measuring lift-off distance. On my Goliathus, the sensor was still reading at 2 CDs, but not at 3. On my desk, it was reading at 1 CD, but not at 2, so clearly something is wrong with the mat.
It's all a bit daft really, though, because Razer made both products and they should perform best with each other.
