    Now this is what we'd like to see (at least for me)

    Innovations of mouse sensor and put it on high grade or gaming mice.

    Topic : A4TECH V-Track


    [​IMG]

    you can see in link above the advantages and disadvantages of each sensor type.

    [Pro gamers don't poke me, if pro-gamers don't follow improvements, pro-gamers will not be using 1800 and more dpi now .lol.

    Looks good in theory but I'll wait til a 3rd party reviews this since the link is pretty biased.

    I have to agree with above. It is like a review designed by marketing...

    I would like some real testimonials from people who've owned all of the above to confirm it.

    I've tried optic, laser, bluetrack and darkfield, no v-track yet.
    let's see if I can get my hand on that :)

    this coming from not so well known manufacturer proves that we'll have a superior sensor in the future that tracks on all surface, high dpi is possible.

    Lol at the picture mentioning it will track on hair.
    Guess what, my Logitech Performance MX can do that too. lol
    Sounds really dumb but i tried, both on my own hair and my dogs black fur.

    seeing the comparisons from their website, it looks like maybe it's using the same approach as darkfield (or copy the darkfield concept ... :D

    Bought and returned a Microsoft Wireless Mouse 6000 yesterday, which has that "blue track" thing. It works on alot of different surfaces (my AW mousepad, my non-glossy finish wood desk, on a sheet of copypaper, and even my HAND lol!

    However, I returned it cuz the cursor jumped around too fast, even when I lowered the cursorspeed (sensitivity) in control panel. Also, the middle button is slow when clicking. The Microsoft Wireless 4000 and 3500 use the same technology, I believe, so I recommend against all of them.
