1) What is the difference between raw and direct input?

2) Is mouse acceleration in CS bugged or something? It isn't uncommon in Quake, but so very rare in CS.

Thank you.

I hate to be that guy, but I need a new mouse really bad, if only to keep me sane while awaiting the release of others.

I understand the WMO is the only real choice for me, right now, as it's...

-Smaller
-Has no prediction
-Overclocked, won't experience negative acceleration when I fling my mouse accross the room

I'd buy the first one off ebay if it weren't from paranoia. I've been researching, and even within these forums, read so much contradicting information. I hear tales of 450 CPI WMO's, jitter and malfunction.

Please help.
