[sawyen]

honestly its fugly....

[Stringent]

Maybe ugly, but it looks kinda cool.

[Hicks12]

I agree with stringent, it looks kinda cool... certainly looks very unique which makes a change. Its one of those things thats built for substance than looks i think, the ability to control almost every part of the mouse to fit your individual hand is excellent. Reminds me of the saitek cyborg original that had a motorized back so it could resize to fit your hand, worked quite well tbh but the laser was always poo with mine after like 2 or 3 replacements so it was returned.

If i didnt have this sidewinder x8 i would have considered it, but theres no pricing on it so i presume its going to be £70+ more likely £100 .

[Biscuit]

that it the ugliest peripheral i have ever seen...

how is it cool anyway, if something is cool it has to be aluminium and have a glowing apple logo surely?

[Hicks12]

no thats cool in the sense the general public.... this is cool in the sense of my geekyness shining through

[MadduckUK]

well i for one love the way it looks.

[matty-hodgson]

Only 7 months late . They told us this would be available in April!

I think it looks awesome! Kinda like a transformer .

[danroyle]

i love it i have the Rat 5 and it just feels lovely to use and the extendable palmplate is awesome if you have big hands.

Good grief. I'm glad I haven't started my lunch.

Talking of which, it looks a bit like what you'd get if this guy threw up:

[Steven W]

Should be getting our hands on this, so will have a review shortly.

[Kjnowak]

I think it looks like Batman's old Tumbler...

[kalniel]

Reminds me of the saitek cyborg joysticks. Very nice.

[Hicks12]

Should be getting our hands on this, so will have a review shortly.

WHen you finish with it ill take it off your hands .


hmm i didnt realize that kalniel, it does indeed remind me of those old joysticks... i still have one! It really did survive almost everything, just i managed to break part of the throttle although it was still perfectly functional. Maybe these are just as robust!.

When Hexus review this mouse please test the Z axis problem which has plagued other gaming grade mice using the Phillips Twin-Eye laser sensor, particularly the Razer Imperator.

Basically, lifting off and re-setting the mouse back down on to the mouse pad causes the mouse cursor to shift onscreen by a noticable amount, the cursor should stay in the same position but it doesn't and the higher you set the dpi the more the cursor moves. To my knowledge, this can't be fixed by a firmware upgrade or by changing to a different type of mouse mat surface. The problem lies in the Phillips Twin-Eye.
