9800 is a notoriously bad sensor (inconsistent prediction baked in SROM), +135g = no interest from me :(
Really want a 336*, less than 105g in this form factor
My understanding is that it is coded into the SROM, which firmware has no effect on (and would be manufacturer dependent)
Corsair's firmware update doesnt work on my mouse either. For whatever reason.
Source : I have owned Razer DeathAdder 3.5, Steelseries Kana CS:GO Edition, Steelseries Diablo 3 Edition, Corsair M45, Razer DeathAdder 2013, Razer DeathAdder Chroma and Ducky Secret in that very order.
This looks like a manufacturer's firmware update, which does not effect the SROM, and many users seem to report acceleration with the 9800 well into 2015/2016, which my own experience would verify, but I'd love to see some tests!
