No, the reason why I've never played professionally is because I never even knew you could and that I've played maybe a dozen computer games in my life, two of which are Leisure Suit Larry in the Land of Lounge Lizzards and Ms Packman.
I had to get a new mouse, so I wus like what the hell, I'm going to find out what all the rage is about. I found the death adder pretty uncomfortable with the bent up buttons, and the side buttons were too far up front for me so I went with the imperator.
I have it set at 3200 dpi with the sensitivity settings left at default in both windows and left4dead, and acceleration turned off. That seems to match what I had before.
The most positive thing I've noticed is that it physically glides smoother than my last mouse. I can't yet say if there is any real improvement, because I'm still getting used to it.
At the price I'm not too impressed with the build quality. The buttons feel and sound rather cheap, and the glossy surface on the sides makes my thumb sweaty.
edit: And the buttons are too heavy lol - one hour of poker and my index finger hurts - not the best $70 I've spent in my life
edit2: After a bit of gameplay I'm not too impressed. There is an improvement in aiming It does register smaller movements and such... But the mouse jumps down and to the right for about 2 inches every time I lift it up. That in addition to all the other flaws makes the price tag pretty ridiculous.
