I believe a good mouse is one of the most important pieces of hardware. Get a USB laser mouse with the highest DPI & report rates possible. I use a G5 set to 2000 DPI @ 1000 Hz. You'll have low sensitivity settings in your games to balance it out (in TF2 I use 2.0-2.2). I do not like mouse smoothing. I do like low acceleration but can never fine tune it right in TF2. Keeping it off is better than using a setting that feels unnatural.

Incorrect, I also actually have the g5 and used to play with it on 2000dpi thinking the same thing but then read the following and reset it to 1200dpi@1000hz. It now performs much better.

Well not actually incorrect as its all personal preference but having played with very high dpi to low dpi over an extended time i find the higest dpis to hurt my performance. The training exercise they mention is an excellent method to determine what is comfortable for you
