They look pretty cool.  They have weights and all the fun stuff the gaming crowd likes.

Yeah, they're pretty plain.  They sort of look like those $5, generic mice you can find on Newegg.

I don't mind plain as long as they are built well, last a while, and fit my hand (or play-style if it is for gaming).

A lot of the keyboards we buy here look like $10-15 keyboards to a lot of people. :)

There's plain/vintage, and there's generic.  These fall under the generic category.  I'm with you, though, I would much rather have a generic mouse that works well and not a POS, pretty mouse.

I think it will be a while before I see anything better than my beloved Steelseries Ikari.

A lot of people here seem to love the Ikari.  I want to check one out. It doesn't look like it would fit my hand like I want (for FPS or RTS gaming), but I may be wrong.

I do like Steelseries.  I have one of their headsets, a mousepad from them, and a 6G keyboard is being shipped to me now.  The keyboard may not stay, depending on how I like the black cherry switches, but my point is that I think Steelseries makes great stuff.  Razer makes great mice, though...

If you're into gaming, you want a mouse that is as light as possible.
For some long sessions you could do very well, without straining your hand too much.

First, nice avatarYsaquerai!  I love Invader Zim!

Second, I agree about the light mouse.  I have the G9, but I don't add weights to it.

Third, why do you say Epic Fail next to Steelseries 6G, in your sig?  I am having one shipped to me.  I'm not sure I'll like the black cherry switches, but I am giving it a try.

P.S.  Do you play RTS games?  I do and I have a Salmosa and control vers. mousepad for those reasons, and since the 6G was designed for RTS players, I was just curious. :)

Thanks.

Thanks, BTW for 6G is just that i have a very bad experience with it. After i bought it after 5months the enter key broke and space bar become out of place. And there's a delay when i use A+W or W+D.

Maybe the construction of the keyboard is not what i expected especially it is not one of those cheap keyboards.

I always take care of my gadgets since i don't want to buy new peripherals every time. Maybe its just luck that ran out of me.

I'm a FPS Gamer and I play Counterstrike for almost 3yrs. now.
