that and the new G9 look like androids, real robots!!!

I like rounded mice better...
Where it fits you hand and makes a nice curve.
I like nice curves...i'm sure you guys do too...but that not the point here...
I posted the same thing in the other thread but what happened in the other thread there The Dope, its all messed up...

[the_dope_chaud]

yeah, round is better, my razer just fits in my palm. This mouse looks mechanical and not comfortable.

[slugbug]

I use a Logitech MX510 and it's just fine for my needs.

[Frag Maniac]

Well at least they're putting detents on the scroll wheel, which Logitech started going away from gradually after the MX500 I bought and still use. Seems a lot of the features are way overkill though. A storage compartment in your mouse, replaceable feet. What do they think it is, a piece of furniture? Makes me laugh.:lol:

[the_dope_chaud]

you forgot an LCD screen. Yeah, real practical in the heat of the moment to take your eyes away from the screen and look at that LCD screen.....

[Frag Maniac]

you forgot an LCD screen. Yeah, real practical in the heat of the moment to take your eyes away from the screen and look at that LCD screen.....Ah, but it's for all those necessary on-the-fly dpi settings changes, because we all know how THAT increases you game performance.

I think MS gets the :flag_bs:award on this one.

LOL on the DPI switching? WTF is all i have to say to that! i use a mx610 soon to be a micsoft 8000 . cureves are bice but they gotta flow. jagged edges, no way!

[westy87]

I don't care what my mouse looks like as long as it performs and feels nice!

[tyle6]

ahhhh yes, agreed. but to me the look and feel seem to go hand in hand
i like the look of what feels good? to me?

[westy87]

I'm pretty sure that mouse would feel good. They seem to have put enough stuff into it already surely they wouldnt neglect the feel of it...

[tyle6]

ahhh no doubt, im sure its a nice mouse... just doesn't look comfy

[tomato]

The new M$ mouse looks to be alot of flash, hopefully it can back it up. Still, I'll stick with my Logitech MX510, thanks ;)

[westy87]

G5 ftw! But I want the new updated version with 2 side buttons *cries*

[Frag Maniac]

I think they should make a Reebok pump mouse, so it would fit all hand sizes. Then you could deflate it for lan parties and it would fit in your pocket like a mini mouse,...or would that idea be Mickey Mouse?:bling:

[the_dope_chaud]

Razer FTW!!!
and the inflatable mouse idea rocks, you could use it as a pillow after too much bjorn....:jawdrop:

[Ranzear]

I have a Logitech G7 Lazer Wireless. No forward button bugs me, but the DPI switching can be handy in Windows moreso than gaming. Also good for photomanipulation and such when you want some accuracy and have unsteady hands.

But yeah, its mostly useless for gaming when you snipe while zoomed and being zoomed lowers your mousing rate anyway. But of course the 1337 mofos that buy these and customize the weight n shiz don need no stinkin skope.

Also: Hotswappable rechargeable batteries > All

[westy87]

Ye I havn't figured out what weight settings suit me most yet :(

I'll just stick to my Logitech Trackman Marble+ trackball and my logitech media play mouse. trackman marble+ for FPS gaming, media play mouse for UO and most other uses.
http://www.firstpr.com.au/ergonomics/marble+.gif I mean, why even move your entire hand, and pick up the mouse, just to turn around? that equals death against a trackman marble+ user in just about any FPS game

[westy87]

wow thats an interesting looking mouse. So, it doesnt move around? You only use the track ball to move the cursor?

[Schwarz]

I've seen people game with these and they were awesome.
I wouldn't use one but I guess when you get used to it its might be very good.

[MadZalmanModder]

wow thats an interesting looking mouse. So, it doesnt move around? You only use the track ball to move the cursor?

yes, your hand stays totally still. tis rather nice. no mouse pad needed, and you can even use it on your lap from across the room.
once you get use to them, you never step away. I am a left handed person and started pc gaming back in the days of doom, so it was all keyboard back then. using a normal mouse just didnt work for me, being left handed and all. so when that mouse came out and i saw what it could do, i bought one. that was late 90's. I am on my 5th trackman.
