Post by: Carnage on Tue, 27 August 2013, 21:48:13: http://www.amazon.com/E-3lue-EMS109BK-Precision-Control-Counterfeit/dp/B005CPGHAA/ref=pd_sim_pc_24

Great looking reviews, amazing looking mouse, and really cheap. So what's up with it anybody try one of them out yet? I'm considering grabbing 2 of them just for the hell of it.

Was just browsing on amazon and ran into it.

UPDATE:

Just ordered 2 today which is the august 29th. Ill do a review / write up on it maybe a video or something once they come in if anybody is interested~

I find the design is a bit too much and tacky. Though the shape looks pretty good and usually mouse with that shape doesn't have side buttons, but this one does.

Usually I try not to support those "rip off" clone companies. But I guess it's like people said for $10 it's like why not.

Too bad amazon.com doesn't ship to Canada otherwise I might give it a try.

Post by: Carnage on Tue, 27 August 2013, 22:55:53: Yeah I think they went a bit overboard with the lights. Could have probably invested the cash for the lights into something else in the mouse to make it better. But with those reviews I am going to grab 2 of them and give it a try for that price if there decent seems like they would make good back ups. Ill write up a review after I get mine and try it out~

Post by: Carnage on Wed, 28 August 2013, 13:34:44: Yeah I read a lot of stuff like that in the amazon reviews how people don't like how the scrolling feels might just be a easy fix of adjusting the wheel or something hopefully.

Post by: Carnage on Wed, 28 August 2013, 16:50:29: Speaking about the scroll wheel problem i seen this on amazon seems like its a small problem easy fix like i figured.

"I noticed the mouse scroll wheel when used, was really jumpy. Scrolling in either direction up/down made the page flutter in both directions. In game playing Orcs must die selecting equipment to use was a roll of the dice and a real hassle because it wouldn't select accurately and would jump past or before the item you wanted.
(Easy Solution)
So I got P-OHED and took the mouse apart and looked at the roller wheel mechanism. It was DRY! Apply alil mechanical/berring grease to it and VIOLA! Works perfectly now."

Please do. There's heaps of reviews around the BIG game players but little on their small time competitors. Time to get a level playing field when it comes to reviews, maybe even comparing them to the expensive Razer's, Logitech's and Microsoft Companies.
