EVGA TORQ X5

[A Banana :D]

Was planning to get one of these. Any thoughts? Any one own one right now ?

[Guest Kloaked]

I'm looking at those as one of my potential FPS mice. I'd really like to use one before I buy, though. May have to hit the Microcenter whenever I go to Guitar Center in a few weeks.

It's a unique looking mouse but for almost $100, I think you can get something better if you u need macro/more functions.

Yeah i would like to try one too, the ambidextrous structure might prove to be less ergonomic and I'm not too sure about the lack of palm support.

In the US its only 50.

I haven't seen any mousetester, enotus, etc results so I wouldnt buy one atm

The only one that costs that much is the Carbon Fiber one.

In that case, for 50$, weight adjustment and a unique look is totally worth $50

True, there is a HardwareCanucks review up on YT though.

I think you're talking about the X10: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV735GU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER

I prefer optical sensor b/c laser has acceleration and prediction.

They dont do any mousetester, enotus, etc test so I'd take their review with a grain of salt

It's fairly new. HardwareCanucks has a review on it. Definitely get the optical version, it uses the amazing Avago ADNS-3310   Pixart 3988 sensor so it should be pretty perfect in the tracking department.

 

It looks like a well built mouse, I'm a bit worried about the coating and how it will cope when the hands start sweating..

 

For a bit more ($60), the Zowie FK1, FK2, EC-1A and EC-2A are also worth a look.

Im pretty sure it uses the Pixart 3988 however, either way, reputable sensors.

Torq is a great mouse. Go for it!

[TheProfosist]

The Torq X5 is a good one. I personally have the X10 Carbon and the X3L BestBuy Edition. I might pick up a X5 at some point.

Do you prefer claw grip with your mouse? or palm?

True, got my sensor mixed up talking about the Zowie's.

But doesnt this mouse lack full palm support?

But doesnt this mouse lack full palm support?

which one?

[A Banana :D]

which one?

the x5 because of its palm dropoff

[TheProfosist]

the x5 because of its palm dropoff

Do you mean thats its flatter? I would say that neither the X10 carbon or the X3L BestBuy are great palm mice due to button placement. But I can say that the X10 Carbon is much to big to fit the use case it was sold under unless you have massive hands.
