Well, I just saw this on slashdot.... Apperently Creative Labs has created a new mouse with this (I have many words for this kid....). But yet again, his product is yesterdays garbage. Here is the link to Hexus gaming with the review on the mouse. I don't care how many products anyone makes with his name on it, it will always be crap in my book.... I think I'll stick to my brand new Logitech G5.... This "new" concept of the 4 finger mouse just seems retarded to me....

You may ask, why I say it's already garbage..... To me a new product should consist of at least the newest technology, such as this mouse being optical rather than laser. To me, this is the biggest downside as I love to use my 2000dpi for fps's.
 
This is either the second or third thread I've seen on this mouse. lol

But I would just like to point out that newer tech is not necessarily always better tech. Yes, arguably, the newer technology does have its upsides. Anything new that makes an improvement over old technology generally does. It's kind of the point to making something better than what's already there. Hence why I love the only dual optical I've ever seen (that being Logitech's) and still use it.

But like every new piece of technology there is always a downside and it isn't always the price, but it's a given that it will most likely be one of them. CRT's vs. LCDs - great picture on CRTs, you have to worry about ghosting with LCD's, weight and space differences, and so on and so forth. Same can be said about going one way or the other on technology today. I'm sure there's reasons why that mouse is optical and not a laser yet and it most certainly isn't that Creative doesn't have the tech or the means to make it so.

Air Jordans may be awesome basketball shoes but look at how many people still swear on their Chuck Taylor's and their no name endorsed Reeboks or Adidas.

There's reasons. They may not make a lick of sense to you but for them it works.

Amen, brother. Logitech Mousman Dual Optical FTW!

I bought a couple spares off of eBay not too long ago because I like it so much, just in case they become harder to find :p

Newest technology just like when optical mice came out? What matters is whther or not the mouse can track properly and whether or not you like the shape or not. Bashing a mouse or anything else without having even tried it is pretty silly. Fatal1ty brand or not, what matters is whether or not the mouse works well.
 
MEH. He can put the "plug" in his ear.

Ill keep my three year old microsoft optical, thank you.
 
I purchased a G5 with my new system... worst mouse I ever laid my hand on. Uncomfortable, terrible thumb controls (and -one button from the 510 and 518 models), it's near impossible to stop the mouse on anything because it's too damn twitchy, and ultimately the weight system and "On the Fly" sentitivity switcher proved worthless. I sold it to a friend, and he loves it, so it's probably just not my preference. I'll stick with my 518... and never buy any of this Fatality crap, either :p
