Lift-off distance highly depends on the mouse pad you use. For a typical black cloth pad, 3.5mm is pretty much average (if not lower).

Regardless, I don’t really see how the lift distance affects your performance. If you have to lift the mouse to make a snap shot, you’re probably going to be dead by the time you make it, regardless of the lift height.

For basic movement, maybe it will be irritating but like anything else you’ll get use to it.

3.5mm lift-off distance is bad for fps. low sens players are always lifting and centering their mice on the mousepad.

I wont buy ikari.

Is it possible to reduce the lift height by returning the mouse to u guys or can be tuned like cpi…also optical ikari has 2 optical settings ( 400 and 800 or can be set to any 2? didn’t say so specificly)

Gill:

Thomas is whining about how busy he is, so here I am to save they day and answer your questions:

The Ikari Optical has a lift distance of 3.5 mm but it’s not like you can move the mouse 3.5 mm off your surface and it will track super clean, so I don’t believe the somewhat high lift distance will be any problem at all.

Thomas,I really want to know about the tracking distance(above the surface) of Ikari, is it closed to what ie3.0 has(that’s good)?A great tracking distance(in this case the height where the mouse still tracks above the surface) isn’t good :( No one wants to lift up the mouse higher than 2mm every time they move…
