Swiftpoint mouse

See if your Mexican version has a Benefits page.

Lol now THAT'S a selling point...if it's indeed so much better than a touchpad (not that it takes much).

Then again, if I had the necessary comfort to play Doom, I'd also have a full-fledged mouse with me.

*fluffs pillow*

Okay it arrived yesterday. After adjusting to it (it is kinda awkward at first), this is a great mouse so far. It works well just on my palmrest, as well as on a table. Just played through E1 on HuMP (which is difficult for me unless I take my time). I know they say it's not meant to be a desktop replacement but I can't get back into using my MX518 (which I still think is the best mouse in the world, just not for me anymore). I don't feel like I've lost anything, though, except for a middle click and back/forward buttons. I can live without those.

Did nobody else notice this part in the video?

EDIT: Woah:

I think that's why this thread was posted.

Yeah fraggle, did you even read the thread? Heh

That picture is also on the box.

DAMMIT.

The lack of left-handed gaming mice makes me sad. :(

I'm as left-handed as people can get. I can't imagine what a "left-handed mouse" would look like, or fathom wanting to use a mouse with my left hand.

Also: trackball master race reporting in.

Just like all those curved right-hand mice but mirrored for the left. Or even a good range of symmetrical mice (The MS Sidewinder X3 isn't bad and Razer make nice symmetrical mice too - though I find their low profile shape hurts my hand after a while).

I can (and do) use a mouse right handed at work simply because it's easier than shifting everything around when I log on. However, at home, I use a left handed setup and it makes a significant difference to my accuracy with my computer. Graphics programs and gaming probably benefit the most. Years ago I realised "hang on, I write with my left hand, why not try my mouse in my left hand". I did that and my accuracy instantly improved. Then (when it started to become possible) I also reconfigured the buttons to reverse the left and right clicks and that made almost as much difference as swapping hands had done.

I don't see the problem with small mice. I can't fit a normal sized mouse in my laptop case.

How small is that case? I mean, mine can hold the laptop, a normal mouse, the power supply, a pair of studio headphones, and a couple odds and ends like my phone and some pencils, and it itself certainly isn't large.

That's not true! That's merely my cell phone case.

The mouse you wish you had.

Doesn't belong to me unfortunately. Just a jpg I came across, oddly enough while doing a search for "Doom" and "custom" and "monster" and "sprites".

Go figure.
