Of course there are people that will buy them for the branding, but they're just plain ugly. Plus a KB with a 6ft lead??? nightmare!

Yeah, branding is what they'd sell on tbh, I'd say razer (who's build quality sucks) are much better, even the lights on my lycosa sometimes I feel 'too bright' and turn them off, that will light up a wedding hall! A KB with a 6ft cable is fine, but a mouse, no way :O! - Too long.

LOL, i thought i saw it aswell!. The keyboard also looks similar to the g15, the top slightly changed without the lcd display!.

Im overdue for a Keyboard & mouse upgrade. But unfortunately on this occasion Alienware doesnt tick all my boxes. I prefer a wireless mouse and a more classic keyboard layout (which is prooving hard to come by these days by any brand).
My sturdy 2001 MS keyboard & logitech MX700 will have to live on for a bit longer :handbag:

6 ft lead for a mouse? Why not just put a USB connector on the keyboard and give the mouse about 1-2 ft?

I have a G15 blue which has never failed me and a ROCCAT Kone plugged into the keyboard and tbh it's build quality is somewhat left to be desired, however the mouse is superb that I bought 2 in case one breaks! :)

Diddo.... Its ugly.

I know Logitech may not be quite as high quality on their G15 and other gaming stuff but its nicer.

will stick with my logitech g15 and g5 i think, especially if they convert the price the usual way $99 each = £99 for a mouse

Jesus christ, it is like they took the pictures of the logitechs and photoshoop'd the lights from orange to green and changed the logo.

Even the special key layout of the G buttons of the g15 is exactly the same. O_o

Perhaps logitech are making it for them?

What if you only buy the mouse and dont have the keyboard? What if like me the wire needs to be atleast 3 feet, thats stupid. What I do is tie it up using those twisty things that it omes with.
