Thoughts on Saitek 1600dpi mouse?

Linkage.

Personal comments:
* Looks like a hyrid of the Razer Diamondback and Logitech MX518
* Single button to jump to 1600dpi is a nice feature - 'instantly jump from sniping to run-n-gun'
* 30g acceleration is decent

I dunno. Thoughts?

I like the look and it also looks like it would fit nice in your hand.

Best of both worlds - better looks and ergonomics of the diamondback with the dpi switch function of the MX serious. Saitek 1600dpi > all

Hope they re-do the color scheme before it comes out, though. I have a Saitek Keyboard ('Eclipse'), flight sticks, and gamepad...which all look VERY cool together.

That mouse, though....man, that looks like ASS. White? C'mon!

its grey not white.

big improvement from my mx700, its not perfect though.

drivers are shit, they dont work half the times. i recommend uninstalling them or using mouseware or something.

the worst problem is that it needs a smooth surface to sit on. will work great on a desk. but wouldnt work at all with my ratpad. i found a coaster which works great but am having trouble stickin it down with double sided sticky. the places where theres no sticky is ever so slightly lower then the places where there is but the mouse notices and jitters in them parts.
such a bitch to get it right. wish i had some glue.
