Title: Bored With Standard Gaming Mice - Check out the R2 Mark III Omnimouse

Those look precisely as ergonomic as the Apple hockey puck mice (E.G. not).

It is even worse than the apple hocky puck

How can one getting bored with their "standard" mouse anyway?

Its too bad there aren't more interesting options for mice (at least interesting ones that work well) I picked up an mx 518 yesterday because my Roccat Kone just isn't tracking well. The Kone looked pretty sweet, but I cannot stand having the pointer twitch. I though about getting one of the Cyborg RAT mice, which look pretty customizable, but I think the look is over the top, and the 518 is pretty much gauranteed to work for a long time.

That looks like a scrubbing bubble.

Quite expensive in my opinion...

I'd say a cross between that and the classic Honeywell "The Round" thermostat.  Neither one seems appealing as an input device for a computer, though, and combining them sure doesn't help!

But hey, I've been wrong before.  I thought phones without physical buttons would never catch on.

I dreamt last night that my mother bought me this mouse and I posted in this thread saying how horrible it is...

Quite odd I'd say.

AHHHHH!

The Rotokiller RTR-720 is still around?!

Jesus H. Christ, I remember getting freaked out by that thing back in 2006.

Then I got curious, but never bought one.

Now I'm still curious about how it would handle, but I'm a cheap bastard who is about to enter University, and can't afford one for testing.
