    Indeed :thumb: <- see, even the smiley is using it's left hand :D
    :clap: Those switches are AWESOME for those who use Linux where the driver support is lacking. Additionally, I used to be a huge fan of extra buttons (and especially liked Kensington's MouseWorks - which the bums are abandoning - BOO!) but after having gotten used to gestures I don't use them much anymore so the lack of them isn't as big a deal as it might once have been.

    Looks like a very nice budget mouse. I'm not a fan of the Razer shape, but for those who are, it looks like a winner.

    (And Left-handed comfort cheesecake - I love my lefty MX 610.)

    That's cos he's using the other one for the mouse!!!

    This may be in the price bracket to replace my aging Microsoft Optical Wheel mouse.

    Also:
    QFT - That's what I'm gonna call it from now on.

    For the price, it seems like it is going to be a great mouse. I would still spend the extra money, if buying now, for the best gaming mouse you can buy (G5 still!), but looks nice.

    From the looks of it:

    No extra buttons.

    See the switches on the bottom to change DPI

    This looks like a great product but maybe not what you're looking for wuyanxu.

    :rolleyes:

    *sigh* looks like my search for a cheap gaming mouse continues........ sub £25 gaming mouse with 1500dpi+ and dpi adjustment (for vehicle sections, eg Crysis) and some thumb buttons.

    in the mean time, my 6 quid Logitech value 1000dpi mouse should be enough :)

    All evolutionary advances are - at first :naughty::p

    (Though that would mean more if I actually believed in evolution)

    i love it when budget stuff shows all the benefits of the high end broducts without all of the unnecessary junk like lights and gold plated usb connectors!

    looking forward to seeing how this product performs!
