The PMW3330 Sensor Review: Optimizing Experience and Precision

The PMW3330 Optical Sensor technology is used most commonly in R.A.T. (MadCatz) gaming mice. The R.A.T. Pro S+ would be a good example of such an instance. MadCats has a really positive, popular, and long-standing reputation with gamers around the globe, and has a substantially loyal customer base in Germany where some of the biggest global gaming competitions are held.

Some gamers that use these laser technology sensor chips are hesitant because of the difference between the RAT Pro S using the PMW 3330 optical sensor, and the RAT 4 using a PixArt PMW 3310 sensor chip.
For those that are into "eSports" such as RTS, MOBA, MMS, or FPS, the RAT PRO-S is very popular and most frequently used for LAN tournaments. The PMW3310-DH-AQWT gaming sensor used by PixArt includes an advanced, helpful tracking system using navigation IC and HSDL-4261 IR LED and Lens. Plenty gamers still use it because it has the operating voltage flexibility to operate between 2.7 V to 3.3 V, a 4000 resolution, 4-Wire SPI, and a 20-DIP IC package.

A lot of gamers still appreciate the PMW3310 laser technology chip because it's used in gaming mice that are built with a specific ergonomic style that many of the newer mice don't have. Also, with its programmable resolution, X-Y axis independent resolution (for robotic use included), programmable angle snap, and variable frame rate it's highly customized. It's best used, as far as Pixart is concerned in accompanying the ADNS-2120-001 trim levels for optimal performance.
