My god... It's beautiful...
Looks unwieldy and uncomfortable to me...
BLASPHEMY! IT LOOKS SOOOOOO KOOL BRA. (no I don't really talk like that)
IF you are more into aesthetics than ergonomics and utility, then yes, the cyborg is a great mouse.
I like big words others won't know either, but I doubt you've used the mouse, therefore you wouldn't know how the mouse handles.

So... You've kinda made yourself look like a dick.
... how well something works with the human body= ergonomics. They work to increase it in some things because of problems like carpal tunnel and whatever else might be caused by making a shitty shaped product that makes the body do something it's not supposed to do, resulting in problems with stress fractures and the like.
Aesthetics= the look of something, how pleasing it is to the eye.

They're pretty common words, especially if you read anything about clothing, art, computer chairs, games, home decorating, and most of all, KEYBOARDS AND GAMING MICE. Sorry, but they are very simple words anyone on this board should know. I wasn't trying to appear smart, just using the simplest terms to express an idea in the smallest amount of words.

I said it LOOKED uncomfortable. I don't know why you have to try to insult and invalidate my opinion. If you want to buy me one and show me it's awesome and God incarnate of the gaming mouse world, go ahead though. : )
Isn't the other guys point that you wouldn't know what the mouse feels like, and haven't you just proven that?
He said it looked beautiful, or I mean, "So kool", and I said it didn't. Simple enough.

Why are you two questioning me? It should be surfer dude if anyone at all.

A review of someone who actually touched it who has said everything I have without even touching it. Seems to me like i have a decent eye for this stuff.

Though I'll take off the, "utility" statement, as it really is feature laden. http://www.yetanotherreviewsite.co.uk/saitek-cyborg-laser-gaming-mouse-reviews~754~PC.htm

Pretty much what the title says. What mouse do you use for gaming?

I use a Razer Copperhead.


I find it's really responsive, and it took a bit of getting used to, but now regular mice feel way too slow. It has a number (5 I think) of pre-set sensitivity levels, ranging from super slow to super fast, with the default being the speed of a regular mouse. Currently I have it set one above the default.

But enough about me, what mouse do you use for your gaming?
I personally use a controller, but when I do PC gaming my mouse is way less impressive than all of you guy's mice.

I use my laptop's touchpad. I am to damn used to it to buy a wireless mouse for my dear laptop.

A cheap, boring, black Microsoft mouse.

There are no benefits for me buying an expensive mouse 'cept for having buttons on it in weird places that I'll never use.
I'm the same way. I just buy the cheap black Microsoft mouse cause it works well, doesn't break the bank, fits comfortably in my hand, and has all the functions I need for working in Maya and Photoshop. I'd rather focus on the keyboard and the stuff inside my machine.

I use an old 1800dpi deathadder, but to be honest I have it set down to 450 dpi anyway, as due to the way mouse movement is captured in CSS having a high dpi results in heavy negative acceleration.

Congratulations, you just made yourself look even more like a dick.

You underestimate me, I know exactly what they are, and no. They're not common words, I've yet to hear them in conversation or in any other forum of wording away from how I got to know the words in the first place.

Of course it looked uncomfortable to you, your obviously the person who judges by looks and quite clearly someone who would judge someone else's opinions on something despite their own preferences, I like this mouse for its comfort, however you decide to deem it uncomfortable and fustrating as sin as if it we're the anti-christ of gaming. Its a mouse. Get over it.

Maybe next time, you should do what your parents and the afternoon cartoons taught you to do, and not judge with looks.

Oh and, I wouldn't buy you the gun to shoot yourself with if it would prove to be a delightful and orgasmic experience. Not for a jack-off like you.
Why the name calling?

They are common enough. Aesthetics is just one step over, "looks" and ergonomics is one step over "comfort". It's not that exotic.

There is no accounting for tastes and you're trying to say I have no right to mine, which is complete bullshit. if you like it, fine, have fun with it. I don't like the mouse though.

And don't try to pull the moral high ground bullshit of judging by looks. It's not a fucking person, it's a mouse. People aren't usually bought, are they? If it looks like it's not goign to work as well as other mice, then as a responsible consumer who might be in the market for buying a mouse sometime, I'm going to sure as hell say so and have the right to.

I dont' know why you want to question my upbringing or be so condescending.

Dont' be a fuckig mouse fanboy. That's pathetic.

A cheap one from bestbuy that replaced my previous mouse (which broke). It says Dynex on it and it's black in color with rubbery grips on the side. I have absolutely no idea which model it is and can't be bother to track down the information but its safe to say that it's just a generic mouse.

If it also has buttons on the sides that control the "BACK" and "FORWARD" functions for the internet and similar windows, then I have the exact same mouse as above.

My 3 Euro light-up wired mouse. It's worked for four years now and still shows no signs of stopping, plus the clear case and blue light on the inside look pretty damn sexy.

I don't really need a special mouse, though I bought a cheap one for gaming. I'm on a Mac, the mouse that came with it is good when browsing Mac OSX but it flat out sucks for gaming. You cant hold down both mouse buttons at once and the scroll ball was ultra sensitive in nature. So I just went to Office Depot and picked up a basic $10 mouse. Works perfectly.
