The software also allows you to change the sensitivity presets (which by default are 400, 800 and 2400CPI) as well as customize all 5 buttons and even assign Macros to them, very handy for the gamer wanting that extra edge. The software can also assign different settings for different games, so you don’t have to go changing them every time you want to load up a game, the software knows when you load a certain game and changes its settings to match.
I’ve now installed it on my games machine (and yes still had the same issues as before) and loaded up BF2 to see how it goes when the heat is on. General game play and running around is great, the Fatal1ty allows for very quick, sharp movements, and never skipped like some optical mice can when you move them too fast. The scroll wheel worked well for weapon selection, but sniping suffered somewhat. Sitting on a hillside trying to track someone was harder than with my old MX-518, as the crosshair didn’t move as you expected due to the tracking problem I mentioned earlier, so this left me a bit down about the whole experience. The mouse also rattled in my hand when I moved it quickly, the removable weight is not held in very securely and is allowed to move slightly in its housing, quite annoying and sadly gives an aura of cheapness. If Creative fixes this issue and the tracking in a later batch, I’m sure this would be an excellent mouse, as its response and general feel is outstanding, even though it’s not going to win any beauty pageants.
