This is an interesting idea! I'm sure you'll get a lot of support from mouse users. I have some suggestion and question, though.
1. Maybe have a less aggressive design. The kova is pretty moderator and sharp, and I know many people love the Mionix Castor, and even more people love the Steelseries Sensei/Rival.
2. How would this be produced? Through Roccat? Maybe you could team up with Steelseries (that's a long shot).
3. Trackball? I'd kill for a custom colored trackball. Seriously. I'd pay a ton of money.
Best of luck! I'll keep my eye on this thread.
Really nice idea if you can make it happen :thumb:
To be clear: are you talking about designing a new mouse from scratch? or partnering with Roccat or Zowie and using their parts bin to theme one of their mice as Carbon?
Are you going to do one mouse in one size for this? If so, and you really want to do ambidextrous I would strongly consider a smaller size. If you really want the large, palm grip only style, then it would probably be better to consider a more ergonomic style.
...one size first which suits most people...
The PMW-3360...
Interesting IC this. I'd be game to join in for the mousepad as long as it is "huge" (at least 900 x 400 x 4 mm) with anti-fraying stitched sides. Looking forward to seeing some renders on this. The mouse on the other hand, may be a tall order. Personally, I am using a Roccat Tyon because of its highly customizable buttons. Don't think I'd ever go back down to more "basic" mice.
It doesn't really matter, but do you know if the 3360 is on par with the 3366?

The 3366 is very slightly better, but not to any degree that it really matters...

I'm going to disagree with this 100%
- mats with stitched edges are frequently unable to ever lay completely flat
- stitched edges can be very uncomfortable on the wrists or forearms
- quality pads with mechanically* trimmed edges don't fray
*heat/laser cut edges can be scratchy and unpleasant

I hope with next possible GMK Carbon drop there will be something available in this regard ;)
