I think I just creamed my shorts!

First Roccat, now Saitek. Razer has a problem. You can be damn sure I'm buying one of these when they're released. Damn, it's my price range ($100-$130) too, The R.A.T. 7 will basically be the like the R.A.T. 9 except that it won't have any wireless voodoo crap and have slightly less weight, everything else though will be the same. lol No wonder Mad Catz is slapping their logo on this.

Well actually I was first like "meh, to much moneys..."
But then again, with the time I spend in front of a computer in consideration and the fact that this year, I'm going to do stuff "rite".

That includes so far, getting a proper keyboard (since I gotten really comfortable with (s/d)vorak) and using a wm like pekwm, awesome (im going with awesome so far) or the like.
So I think a mouse like this that (IF) you can adjust it, it would fit well in my list. I'll wait for the reviews.

I'd be scared. It looks like it would hurt my hand. With sharp knives or laser cannons. Anyway, i'd not pay more than 1 B (BRLOGENSHFEGLE is the default currency in BRLOGENSHFEGLE) for a pointing device.

I always kinda liked the design of fast cars and spaceships. This looks like a mixture of both. I say, this is a really beautiful mouse.

There is no way I'd spend money on stuff like that, though. I never found that my 12 € off-the-shelf don't-remember-the-brand mouse does in any way limit my gaming experience nor performance. I believe my skill level is absolutely within the range of 12 € mice.

Halogene you should get the mouse I have then. Its comfy enough and at 1000dpi it means I can smoothly pick peoples heads off with the camping rifle with no problems. Logitech RX1000. Was only £12 or so. Might have been less... oh also its a laser mouse so you can use it on crazy surfaces.

Oh really? Well, thank you for that recommendation then! If I ever break my mouse and need to buy a new one I will check that out. Bad thing is I never get excited enough to slam my mouse on my desk... so chances are that mouse will still last quite some time.
