SteelSeries World of Warcraft Mouse equipped for hands-on impressions, +14 agility


We finally got our hands on SteelSeries' World of Warcraft MMO Gaming Mouse, and took the thing for a little spin across Azeroth. After hiring a rogue to open the complicated packaging and marveling at the mouse's incomprehensible runes, we hooked up the mouse over USB and were treated to the ambient light show. The "cracks" across the back of the mouse glow with subtle colors, though we wish they could light up a bit more dramatically and actually convey game status info -- but we're boring like that. Compared to most mice, the WoW mouse is rather large and "hand supporting," leaving behind the typical friction and frame of reference that a trailing hand and wrist usually supply. It's nice and comfortable, but there's a bit of a trade off, though overall we found the mouse to be incredibly "right" in responsiveness and accuracy. More impressions after the break.

not too bad looking, and i like the box, but seems like something you'd buy to show off.

Doesn't look bad, but a bit too much going on for my liking.

I don't like the look of the big rubber bits at the arse end, but that's probably a comfort thing. Other than that they look like they've gone for a nice (fairly) subtle styling with useful functions. Props for that. I'd probably buy one if I played Warcraft exclusively. Erm, by choice I mean...

It looks like an armadillo.

They do ruin it a bit don't they. Rest of it doesn't look too bad, looks like it might sit wrong without the flappy bits, shame really.

I read that as armourdildo.
