The mouse is an optional extra. Consider it akin to Day One DLC.

Still don't know why mouse makers mostly ignore the fact that I have three almost completely unused fingers, still... so many more possible buttons (especially for the MMO fans) that would make this a proper awesome mouse.

The ASUS ROG Spatha has 12 buttons which are programmable and great for MMO gaming, says ASUS.

Up and Down scroll are not buttons so do not count, says Tasky.

All six of these button feature ALPS switches with tactile feedback and are arranged in a ROG Eye shape.

Cute... But it remains to be seen how easily they work when you're trying to run and reload and heal and stuff, while under heavy fire...

So no actual mouse then?

Ships later once they get it working, like the Oculus peripherals. It's the new business model.

Don't be silly. See the switches and screw driver? You have to make the chassis yourself!

Please, I can't stand a light mouse, just weighed my current at 140g with cable and I find that a little lightweight, 175 is probably about perfect.

Only about 82p per gram. Cheap at twice the price*
