    HewinFM got a reaction from Vitalius in GabeN AMA happening today 1PM pacific time (4PM eastern time)!   
    I think the admins deleted the post because he did not provide adequate proof in the post.

    HewinFM got a reaction from I'm Batman in Func MS-3 Gaming Mouse Video Review   
    Overview
    During the last 2 weeks I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone with the Logitech G700, and switched to the Func MS-3. The mouse features a fully ergonomic design, and after using it for a while, I can easily say it’s been the most comfortable mouse I’ve ever used.
     
    Specs
    At an MSRP of $79.99, the MS-3 packs some pretty nice specs:
    CPU: WT6573 Switches: Omron Sensor: Avago ADNS 9500 Memory: 512 kB DPI: 90-5670 FPS: 12 000 Tracking speed: 5.1 m/sec (150 ips) Max Acceleration: 30 g Image processing: 10.6 megapixels/sec Report rate: Adjustable, up to 1000Hz Lift-off distance: Adjustable Upgradable firmware: Yes Cable: 2 meter braided with gold plated USB connector  

     
    Software
    As for the software, it’s really easy to use for configuring the 3 profiles available. Everything is strait forward, and it’s designed really well. I love that you can set the RGB LED colors individually, and I was impressed that you could also adjust the saturation and brightness. One thing I wish it had was a setting to set both LEDs to the same settings so that the colors match perfectly. I also really enjoyed using the macro editor. It supports a long string of input, and it’s really easy to get set up to your liking. The buttons are also really easy to configure with this software. Func mentions that you can update the firmware on this mouse, however, I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that with the software.
    Since the mouse has 512 kB of onboard memory, you can use this mouse with another computer without the software, and your profiles will stay the same. This is a bonus for LAN parties where you might want to take a gaming laptop with you instead of your desktop pc.
     
    Performance
    After my two weeks testing this mouse for my review, I've been pretty pleased with it’s performance. The games I played to test this mouse included Counter-Strike, Far Cry 3, and Strange Attractors 2. I found the sensor was accurate, and I could play games as I was used to with my Logitech G700. As I mentioned at the beginning of this review, the rubberized coating does get sweaty really fast if you’re gaming intensively (especially in this warm weather). I found you can clean it off easily with some water, but I did this at least once every few days; I can’t imagine how dirty it would get if left neglected.
    I really enjoyed the buttons on this mouse. Not once did I accidentally press a button. This was the first mouse I’ve used with a button on the lower thumb rest, and I found it useful because it wasn't in the way, and I could easily play/pause my music with it. I found the instant aim button was a little out of reach, so I didn't use it much. I’d guess that it’d be more useful for someone with longer thumbs. The only minor issue I had with the Omron switches, is that they’re a little stiff. It was a little tough to double click as fast as I’ve been used to on my Logitech G700.
     
    Conclusion
    If you're used to palm grip mice, I can definitely recommend the MS-3. It’s exceptionally comfortable if you’ve got the time to clean it often, and I think the software is fantastic.

    This is a pretty sad thread. All the people saying no are giving the worst excuses. It's degrading to women even though they are going there and signing up for this themselves. 
     
    Some of you need to grow up. This is not sexist in the least. You are worse than some feminist. I take it you do not go to strip clubs because that's degrading. Or to the bar or club because there are women wearing skimpy dresses/clothes there also. Grow up learn this is part of the word. Sex sells. That's why they are their. It's not sexist to learn the truth about women being good looking and to get men's attention. 
     
    It's booth babes. Not god dam women jumping on a trampoline or washing a car in a bikini. The one's saying no because it's disrespectful remind me of the losers who think they get "friend zoned" yet never talk to the girl or say anything and expect her to make a move.
