Saitek intros Cyborg gaming mouse
Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals

Saitek's got a new gaming mouse for those in need of a little more precision than your standard off-the-shelf model, with its new Cyborg mouse cranking the dpi all the way up to 3200. That, of course, can be dialed back to accommodate various mousing tasks, and you'll get a good number of non-standard mouse features as well, including a programmable four-way hat switch, and two extra buttons that can be set up however you like. While there still doesn't seem to be any official word on a release, Gizmos.es points out that Amazon UK currently has it listed with a release date of January 11th and a list price of £40 (or $83), although it can be had for £30 (or just over $60) at moment.

This mouse better contain organic components otherwise it's false advertising.

Here's my design for an equally comfortable-to-hold mouse:

To be fair, if it's only £30ish, I'd be tempted to splash out and see how that ones goes, looks more promising than the MS thing.

However, my Razer Copperhead is perfectly fantastic, and I might just buy another razer one anyway.

My Logitech MX510 is bloody fantastic, and brilliant for gaming as well as whatever mundane things you can apparently do with computers. However, the Microsoft IntelliMouse Explorer 4.0 I use at work is pretty comfortable too. The shoulder buttons aren't positioned too well, and the 4-way scrolling thing is buggered and so normal scrolling doesn't work (such as google maps zooming - it'll only zoom in), but it's comfortable to use.

see also the MX518, and the rubber coated mouse ty has.

all the same shape, all fucking win.

My god! they've reached the point where you dont need a keyboard to play FPS's. All the buttans you need are on one mouse.....you could play CS:S or Beef one handed!......

I think more 5punkers have the MX518 than any other mouse!

I wuv mine.

Pffft, the Razor ones are good, don't care what you say.

It's also more sturdy than my MS Intellimouse 3.0 (the silver 7 button one), which decided to develop a fault on the left clicker after a couple of years hard use. The razor replaced and is better imo.

Then again, the copperhead was their top of the line one when I bought it, the cheaper ones are well...cheaper.

I use a generic mouse, whats the big difference witha gaming mouse? will it give me Gunslinger like super skillzors?

Yes. Can't you tell with our combined logitech l33tness?

*waits for slinger to say he uses a beige two-button trackball*

Also gaming mice make your spreadsheets explode.

That was just what happened the the G5 when I tried to make it the ultimate gimp mouse. And the onyl thing I would change about it, is to give it the 2 buttons the 518 had.

It does make a difference, especially playing twitchy games like CSS and TF2. Not a vast difference but it should be noticeable.

I have a G5 but I made it less good when I had to pull the pads off to clean the beer out from the inside, which was making the wheel very stiff. The reapplied anti-friction pads now don't feel right.
