Thanks for the answers, I went for the zowie fk and puretrak talent!

for all the future threads and mouse related questions – this is currently the best combo

I’ve had my talent for 2+ years with multiple mice (ec1, fk, DA) and it still works wonders. I don’t know what tracking issues you are talking about. The only issue I have with it is that the fabric is starting to slowly peel off the base.

It’s a good mouse, but it depends on the surface that you’re using. For example, right now i’m using a Qck+ (that is roughly 1.5 years old) so it’s not the cleanest and newest surface that you can find. And now i have tracking issue (the mouse cannot track if i’m moving it too fast). In comparison, my old DeathAdder that has an optic sensor works like a charm on it.

Usually laser sensor doesn’t really fit great with cloath mousepad. Optic sensor seems to have better results on most of the surface.

The top was on a part of my talent that wasn’t 100% flat (the rubber base isn’t very consistent).

This is the first time I run into this with the Talent. The only other problem I had was with the Xai, but that was more dust than anything else. Kinzu, G100, G400, DA, Salmosa, Abyssus, Diamondback, Krait all tracked well.

At first I thought it might be a problem with the mouse. I just got it when I noticed so that was the most logical thing. To confirm I got a pad that should work 100%: Zowie’s own GT-F Speed. I wanted to try this so called combination of cloth and hard pad anyway. It solved all my problems and was even smoother than the Talent. It’s slightly smaller, but I can live with that.

edit: my talent is 3 years old. And the cause lies purely in the rubber base in combination with the low lod of the FK.
