ROCCAT (Turtle Beach) - Burst Pro

I use a Roccat Burst Pro since 2019, i got it for 30€ back then and it still does its job pretty well

[Spend another few quid and stick to wired IMHO](https://skinflint.co.uk/?cmp=2383991&cmp=2694039&cmp=2393958&active=0) * Roccat Burst Pro * NZXT lift * Cooler Master MM720

Roccat Burst Pro, It's a great mouse, it's light, comfortable, precise and have very responsive clicks, but one of the best feature it's something that poe doesn't care: the scroll wheel, so far is the best I have ever tried and scrolling reddit and navigating the web feel really great. I discovered Roccat around 10 years ago, had a Kone Pure for 6 years until it started to double click once in a while, I also liked that mouse. Before going for Roccat I bought and refunded 3-4 logitech mouse because they all were rattling like crazy, both the sensor and the scroll wheel.

I was collecting mice more happily when it had higher weight. Everything felt solid. I use Roccat burst pro wired a 68gram mouse, while i have the newer version Turtle beach burst 2 air from 47gram. The TB feels like a hallow shell and dont like it on control pads, for example SS qck heavy. While i have a lot of modern low weight mice i go back to the older Roccat burst pro. My eye is even on the Razer Basilisk mobile thats coming out soon. And higher mouse dpi work better with bricks in my opinion. I use 950-1050 dpi 6/11 on 1080p 240hz. Good all round dpi for games without sensitivity slider. In Kovaak i perform better with 54gram and above than lower for example 47gram and lower. Have a nice day 🙂💪

First of all. Shape is king. Don't be worried about all the new optical tech and weight reduction. As someone who owns about 24 mice I've come to appreciate shape more than anything. There's no point in a weight class if your hand is gonna cramp in the first hour you're playing. At that point it doesn't matter what new tech is in the mouse or how feathery light it is. You're going to develop carpal tunnel down the line if you go at it like that. First, measure your hand and if you have the opportunity to test more in person like at an electronics store or if you have a friend that can let you borrow their mice with a different shape then your own go for it. I also highly encourage you watch different mouse reviews of different mice once you sort of come to that conclusion. The og Viper Ultimate is an excellent starting point to jump off of when exploring different mice. If I may, here are some things to consider/ look for when looking into other mice. - First of all, your Viper Ultimate is a bit of a flat mouse. The Viper Mini is wired but has a bit of a hump. This is highly subjective among gamers/ mouse enthusiasts because it affects how your palm is placed on the mouse itself. - Wired or not wired. Some prefer it wireless so there's no drag, but there are some mice that have very light braided cables or rubber cables. I personally use a Roccat Kone Pure Ultra that I switch off from my Ninjutso Sora. Please note that wired DOES add weight to the mouse, but depending on what kind of cable and if you use a mouse bungee or not will affect your gameplay. Having it wired never really bothered me. - Speaking of shape is king, there are mice that have different shapes and button layouts that you may find interesting. As I said before, The Roccat Kone Pure Ultra is one of my favorite mice in my collection. My first ever mouse was the older Roccat Owl Eye and I loved it for its shape. It has a bit of a curve that makes it more of a right hand mouse, but as a right handed person the curve actually suited my grip style. It also uses Titan mechanical switches that feel crisp to me. Is it faster than the switches in Razer's newer mice? Probably not, but I personally prefer the feel of the press over the latency test in game, which are marginal at best in my own personal testing. My other favorite mouse is the g502. Consider it's shape, multiple button options and the infinite scroll wheel where you can toggle a switch to have the scroll wheel spin instead of click in steps. It's heavier even without weights, but it's a comfortable mouse that also doubles as a nice productivity mouse for work. I would look into if having more buttons for your gaming/ productivity for work would be beneficial for your setup. - Don't worry about things like 8k polling rates or the newer switches that gets put into the newer mice. Unless you have an extremely beefy PC and a crazy monitor you won't really see those returns. Even if you had those in your setup, your performance still comes down to how comfortable you are to land your shots. Remember, even back then during the early days of Twitch and competitive online gaming that made certain streamers rich and famous, even they started off using wired mice. Ninja used a Logitech G502 and even used his own Finalmouse Ninja collab for years before going wireless. It just goes to show that practicing with the mouse that feels the most comfortable is what works. I hope this helps!

Roccat Burst Pro. Too bad Roccat and Turtle Beach botched the wireless versions...

They did indeed, although the shape didn't remain true to the original which was a big let down from a lot of people. :( But it is still an actually very solid mouse if the shape suits ya!

Roccat Burst pro Something a little bit different. It works well, it's comfortable and it looks good.

Honestly 2 come to mind Roccat Burst Pro and the Roccat Kone Pro ultra now known as (Turtle Beach Pure Sel)

If the bottom of your palm is touching the mouse, you have a claw grip. The Roccat Burst Pro you are using is actually considered a good shape for claw due to the rear hump (similar mice are the XM2 and Atlantis). Whether or not you need to go smaller also depends on comfort and hand size. Smaller mice aren't necessarily a cheat code for better aim.
