THE BEST FPS MOUSE EVER???

[Ryzenuser19]

I just found this after ordering a Sinden "light" gun with recoil and thought "wtf that will be awesome"

I never thought mice could get any more useful till seeing this.

What do you guys think? Should Linus make a vid about this?

Most of those buttons seem useless, how often do you cut and paste, or use windows snapping that it needs it's own button. You could get an MMO mouse and program the buttons to do those things anyways.

 

And the software looks confusing and will probably be left on default.

Also 800 DPI is crap for a gaming mouse. And the software looks confusing and will probably be left on default.

go view the page and tell me a mmo mouse can do half clicks and full clicks like a xbox one controller trigger.

this mouse can do things a mmo mouse makes more annoying. not to mention the images are just for show of default functions it is higher than an 800dpi mouse, i dont even think a crappy £5 tesco mouse is 800dpi lol.

Just because it claims that it can do something, doesn't mean that it can, nor does it mean that it's a good idea.
While yes, you can likely teach yourself to adapt to a pressure sensitive mouse, it's still inevitably going to lead to "misclicks" or unintended actions.

To me, it seems like a gimmick, a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

Seems like not that much software will support it, and you'll end up full clicking all of the time. Or it's easy enough to push too hard and use some ability accidentally. And how are you supposed to click the buttons next to the scroll wheel, without lifting your fingers off of the mouse.

Or you could just.. get any other mouse with that amount of programmable buttons and do almost the exact same thing. Maybe even without looking like a Happy Meal toy (but looks are obviously subjective so don't flame)

 

I don't get the deep click pressure button thingy mumbo jumbo, especially since they're marketing this towards competitive FPS gamers by the looks of things. You don't have time to think whether to click lightly or hard or whatever when you're fragging kids in Call of Duty. You just don't. It really looks like a useless gimmick to me.

with gestures this is a mess because your gonna accidentally mess up something and those top buttons are going to be accidentally press

ever hear of profile switching? just set one of the buttons from the to switch profiles and you can change it back and forth with ease. i do it all the time with photoshop and warzone, but also you would possibly be able to use the half click and full click for say drawing lines thicker or thinner and you cant dispute it could have some real good uses for speed runners on games.

again you would have set profiles so you wouldnt use all buttons in every function. i also use a venus mmo mouse from amazon and it isnt as usefull as i only use 9 of the 15 buttons and thats including mouse 1, 2 and 3.

All of the actually useful features of this mouse have existed for close to a decade.

The only innovative thing about this mouse is the 2 step left and right click, but those seem like actually useless gimmics.

 

No thank you, i will stay with my mouse forged by gods, the Logitech G700s.

This campaign just enforces the stereotype, that any and all indegogo/kickstarter campaigns are at best a moneygrab, at worst a scam.

Also finding an uglier mouse than that is pretty much impossible.

yeah but switching on the fly is a mess (for me dpi on the fly no thank you)

unless there is a sniper button

but having profiles you can change on top if you have all top buttons set for different profiles

oh boy your not going to remember which ones which during a fast pace game

I have. I use a G600 with multiple profiles set up for multiple different games and software profiles with shift modifiers. I fail to see how a pressure sensitive click is going to make my life any easier in any of the Adobe suite. Again, a solution to a problem that doesn't exist, or at the very least, a problem that hasn't already had a well established solution with something else.

One very specific use metric, and one that is very debatable at that, does not make it a "good" mouse.

This would be cool if it was somehow bound with how the trigger got pulled in-game, causing different recoil/precision.

 

Like this it's just another macro key

 

btw, if Linus made a video about this, the conclusion would probably be the same, if not worst

BEST FPS MOUSE

No. They added useless gimmics that no one asked for, and as a result, the thing weighs 117g according to them. That's about 20-50% more than most other competitive mice, and almost twice as much as the lightest ones. It's also on the larger side compared to competitive mice. Especially for FPS, you don't need or want useless gimmics.

 

For certain other genres, it might be a decent mouse, though

[Doobeedoo]

Is this a meme? I mean nothing new really aside from that pressure deeper click. But for gaming use meh. For some general use cool maybe. For a shooter?! Probably one of the worse mice out there. It's also a brick. I play a lot of fps and MMO and this is a big nope.
