Laser vs Optical mouse

[Sethioz]

Which one you prefer? i have tried using laser mice in shooters, but they're just generally too twitchy, specially if game doesn't have "smooth mouse" feature. even when i set exactly same DPI as optical, still too twitchy.

even in windows, when i move laser mouse slowly in straight line, it twitches. this makes it really hard for long-range precision shots in CS2 or other shooters that don't have mouse smoothing.

while optical mouse doesn't have this issue, movement is very smooth and steady.

i used to do amazon reviews, so i've gone thru a good 20 gaming mice and i've noticed same thing on every laser mouse, they're too twitchy, while none of the optical ones have this.

games that have mouse smoothing are ok, but cs2 doesn't have this feature (at least i can't find it in settings). optical mouse is only solution for steady and smooth aim in CS2.
i started using optical recently and it's much better.

in case someone is wondering, i have it on 3500 DPI and in-game sensitivity is 2.69
that's the sweet spot for me, enough to do 180 degree turn without lifting the mouse or wrist and slow enough to be able to make long range precision shots.
