    Love that, but I reckon getting to grips (excuse the pun) with it would be a nightmare...

    It does look a little difficult to get to grips with. I expect for gaming, I'd still rather use my Copperhead, which I'll get for Christmas. Yay!

    after last night, i'm definitely going to do this.

    was re-installing software and updating windows on my HTPC. it's a pain in the ass, because it is only hooked to my plasma. I have a wirless keyboard with a touch pad, but that isn't easy to use standing up. With this mouse i could stand in the middle of the floor and still control the mouse easily.
