    The terrible tracking (laser sensors) and weird shape / weight were what turned me off on them.

    I got really into competitive FPS gaming, starting with the competitive Planetside 2 scene and an MMO mouse just wasn't right for me anymore.

    I also gradually went from playing at the highest sensitivities of anyone in the elite PS2 outfits to the very lowest sensitivity, gradually week by week over a course of a couple of months.

    In FPS games, my sensitivity is always set to 86cm (34") per 360 now.

    JHU-APL BeHAVE Lab [A202UOPNF08JH1] Decision making and email security - $10.00 | PANDA


    Generous

    Unrated

    Unrated
    $21.65 / hour
    00:27:43 / completion time
    Pros: - Three parts: pre-survey, task, and post-survey. All done through qualtrics. Progress bar for the surveys jumps around a bit, but in a positive way and is decent at still letting you know about how much you have left.
    - The task has a time limit of 30min, though it likely won't take you that long, and the timer ensures no one will spend too much time on it.
    - The 60min estimate is extremely generous, but even if you did take that long it'd still be above minimum wage. Because of the timer limitations, it'd be almost impossible to drop your wage below that.
    - 4 hour timer so there's no rushing to get it done.
    - The formatting used for the task is super easy to use and well laid out.
    - Mentions a possible bonus of $0-$8 for correct answers.
    Cons:

    The keyword pin batch is the easiest $10 I've made today. I haven't done anything else today, but still.

    I was very upset by the lack of review when I started, so my own review is very robust despite my poor numb fingers :p

    I hope you're happy @ChrisTurk

    There's so much more that goes into play, too though -- like the lens / firmware as well.

    A lot of mice will be equipped with a great sensor for marketing purposes but be afflicted with smoothing at most DPIs to compensate for an underpowered embedded processor.

    My G303 had a great sensor (PMW3366) but had lens issues.
