    Hmm.. The cable is just a blatant gimmick... The multiplane sizing does look promising, however. The carbon fiber, though a good look, also seems like a gimmick.

    Personally I'll stick with my Deathadder, but I may be tempted to try this in the future.

    Well aren't you just the sexiest little thing ever. I'd be really interested to see a review of this when the time comes. I like how they didn't go button crazy and try to cram half the keyboard onto the side of the mouse and I'm also interested in how good the texture feels to the hand. This one looks like a winner as long as the specs and feel can back up the price which is sure to be on the high end like the page says.

    Carbon fiber to save weight?
    Has an adjustable weight system.
    Why bother with the carbon fiber if your just going to put extra weight in it?

    The carbon fibre makes it impact resistant because if the mouse is travelling too fast and goes out of control... greater chance of surviving the impact. I've seen the results of mouse crashes and it's not pleasant.

    Well for the money you have to lay on the table for this mouse, you could get 24 cheap ass laser mice that will last a live time. You do not even have to clean it, just throw it in the bin and unpack a new one. ah! so refreshing...

    It'll need to be near or below the £60 range to be at a price point worth considering.

    Personally I'm not too fond of the thin shape of it or the angle at the top of the mouse, I'd prefer something other than red for the button colour as well.
