Posted January 27, 2015 Seems EVGA isn't sitting on their royal behinds and are pushing out some more mice which should peak some interest with both optical and laser sensors available for both models. http://www.tomshardware.com/news/evga-reveals-x3-x5-mice,28458.html While it is a bit disapointing that the optical version of the X3 lacks RGB lighting, it is available on both X5 models. I have to say I specially like the look of the X5: Sharp lines nice and shiny without overdoing it. It just looks elegant almost and I am keeping an eye out on some reviews on this one. Also the price points are quite nice: X3 39.99 (USD) X5 49.99 (USD) X5L 59.99 (USD) Provided they are solid than the price is real nice, of course this is a bit personal and comes from an owner of 2 100 USD mice.

Posted January 27, 2015 Looks generic and simple, but good. For 50 euros (I hope they will do it 1:1 from dollars..) it looks pretty decent. I will look out for it and I'm already expecting a review!

Take note as well... most of the time your hand is over the logo anyway... do you intend to stare at your mouse while not using it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt we will see the 1:1 to euros anymore the euro just dropped to much in value for that "Hope, what a concept." - Deunan Knute Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its the little things. I don't spend my time looking at the inside of my drone either, but I appreciate the spaces for wiring and the clean organization of the boards, ESCs and main boards for when I need to work on it. By your logic, lets just use something that has a penis laser etched as a logo. After all, your hand will be over it anyways and you'll never see it.

Posted January 27, 2015 Corsair, take note. Thats how you do a product stamp that doesn't look like it belongs on a tramp. I still think no logo is the best logo. Sorta why I like how I can turn off the backlit logo on the Razer Naga. Because the logo while not lit up is fairly black, it's not even noticeable when my hand isn't on it, which make me just want to cry out of happiness.

Good fingertip mice are getting harder and harder to find these days. Well yeah I learned to get used to that, never found a mice that suits my hands my fingers are just to long Like the roccat Kone is not a small mouse, but to say claw grip it my fingers stand at a 90 degree angle. My main issue with mice is weight balance, if the weight is not well balances it means the mouse arcs slightly as I move from the side to side.

I would seriously not buy a Corsair product that has their gaming branding on it, it's fugly. And I know a lot more people that feels the same about it. ID matters.

I've been through 10+ different mice (Not just because i'm picky, sometimes I just like to try them ) and so far my favorite has been the Roccat Lua. It's pretty cheap, but light and small. I have very long slender fingers, so its perfect for my fingertip grip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted January 28, 2015 It does look generic but somehow...it doesn't. Looks very clean and sleek.

Posted January 28, 2015 I got their first mouse. Wouldn't recommend it. There are some issues here and there, sure they are sparse but overall 100 dollars for that one is not worth it. However, it might be redeemed by the new mousepad that I got. Sound: Custom one pros, Audioengine A5+ with S8 sub. K70 RGB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i'm really impressed with Roccat's quality. Wasn't a big fan till I got the Lua. Whats your DPI set to? I play pretty low at around 1500, just enough to reach each side of the screen without moving my palm Oh and topic derail ftw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
