CM Storm Xornet Firmware Pack is out!

Hi All,

Just like for Spawn we created several new firmwareversions tweaking the mouse sensor for LOD, anglesnapping and some other paramters.

You can find the Firmware Pack here:http://www.cmstorm.com/en/products/p...t/&tab=support

Re: CM Storm Xornet Firmware Pack is out!

What sensor does this mouse use? It looks just like thespawn. And with the windows 7 issues on the spawn Ineed a new mouse. Could this be it?

There's no driver or application for this mouse? I justpicked one up today and there's no options, heh

also, there seems to be angle snapping on all thefirmware version but in version V53 and V55 it doesn'tsay anything about reduced angle snapping. So do weonly get reduced LOD with those 2 versions? What do I doif I want reduced LOD and reduced angle snapping?

F/w Version Breakdown:V50 original release FirmwareV51 reduced angle snappingV52 reduced angle snapping - recommendedV53 reduced LODV55 reduced LOD - recommended

Based on our internal testing and beta trials werecommend Firmware v55According to our testing it works best on black or whiteweave mousepads

The V70 feels like the original V50 (it has a very highLOD, after 250HZ/1000 DPI jitters on a black cloth pad).

The V72 is UNUSABLE on black cloth (QcK) because ithas a very-very low malfunction speed, on normaldesktop usage it freaks out at faster movements,huuuuuge negative acceleration and after that the cursorisn't moving anymore At first I thought that somethingterrible happened after the firmware update, whiledrawing circles faster and faster, the mouse entirelystopped responding, WTF Very low LOD, 1-2CD.

V75 works on the QcK at low speed, it skips above 1 m/s,I was able to reach it's malfunction speed several times,but I wasn't aware of, low LOD (cursor tracks at 1CD,doesn't moves on 2CD). Still testing, it has less jitter on250 Hz/2000 DPI (but who uses that ?). After increasingthe polling rate to 500 or 1000 Hz I notice some jitterthat increases with the DPI, but I'm not an expert withthis things.

I have the feeling that the Xornet is a 250Hz mouse andthe other polling rates are "funky" to say at least.

CM Storm Xornet Firmware 75 is the man!

Xornet + Firmware 75 is flawless for me. I'm amedium-core gamer and I'm very picky abouteverything.

Windows 7.Tested at: 500 hz and 1000 DPI.Pad: good old simple grey canvas, $1.

Tested with Mouse Rate Checker 1.1b by OliverTscherwitschke, and with The MarkC Windows 7 MouseAcceleration Fix's tool, the mouse is almost flawless at500 hz and 1000 dpi - that's how I use it.

I have an uber simple method to test a mouse. Just circlefrom the wrist real fast and the less perfect the mouse,the more the circle travels towards the left of the screen.So, the Xornet with firmware 75 is my dream came true,because it stays put so long that the flaw is only a matterof science and precise calculations.

The "mouserate" checker shows a very constant 496 hz.So 500 hz is the most organically predictable setting ofthe mouse. And I add that it's perfect.This beats my old Logitech 500, 510, Microsoft Explorer3.0, the Razer Lachesis, the Copperhead and anything Ihave ever used.

I will play with 72 - 75 to see how much prediction is inbetween them, but 72 is rubbish anyway, at least on my$1 mat.

I have a claw and fingertip grip and I can switch betweenthem with the Xornet, always finding a confort position.Another dream came true.

Buy this mouse men! It's uber cool!

Like I said, I will share with you some speed graphs. Idon't trust entirely the Enotus Mouse Test's results,because those are misleading in some way

I used outerspace's MouseLogger to collect data and

analysed it with a spreadsheet editor.The procedure is pretty simple, just use mouse.logcreated by the MouseLog.exe and using this formula:Speed = (((Counts / cpi)*0.0254 m/inch)/(sampleinterval))*1000

The next step is to create a graph and be shocked by theresults.

I'm a casual gamer (BF3, 5-6 hours a week), butsometimes I couldn't say if BF3's crappy hit-detection ormy mouse/pad combo was the culprit of the misplacedshots.As you see, the Xornet+75 fw+black pad leads to seriousskipping above 0.8-0.9 m/s, after that is pure luck or acrap shot

More interesting is the following graph, I moved mymouse in a slower manner (desktop usage):

After every 24-25 ms there's a spike directly proportional

with the speed... WTF

Just for **** an giggles I tried raising the DPI, hopingthat the PCS would be higher:

That's not much of an improvement...

So, I'm searching for a light coloured mouse pad and/or anew firmware.

Too bad, that I'm living in Europe and it's difficult to buyan HandStands Grey Supermat, but probably it's easierthan asking for a new firmware from CM Storm... Isuggest to make a combo deal: if you buy a Xornet, thenyou'll receive a grey Supermat too!

I wrote them regarding this issue, the answer was:

In other words: @#$% &^%, why the @#$% should Ibother with your @#$%ing problem.

In another reply they said:

So, the chances are slim to get another (maybe better)firmware
