Saitek Notebook Optical Mouse

 

If you want a glowing mouse to travel with or to simply place on your desk, then the Saitek Notebook Optical Mouse is the ticket.

Ambidextrous shape. Clicky scroll wheel. Cool glow at night

Still too small for our tastes

The Saitek Cyborg 3D Force Feedback joystick shakes, rattles, and rolls with action and flight games, adding another dimension to the experience. The ambidextrous design is fully customizable for the perfect fit, and the smart-technology software...

Saitek Cyborg 3D Rumble Force Joystick

 

We were skeptical at first about the Saitek Cyborg 3D Rumble Force Joystick. Its size, the wiggle motion of the main trigger, and the goofy-looking twin throttle flaps turned us off. After extended use, though, our opinion changed.

I got this mouse to match my Bronze HP Laptop. It looks pretty good. I love the bluish glow that the scroll wheel gives off. It perfectly matches the glowing media buttons and HP logo on my laptop. \n \nBut on the bottom half of the mouse, you can see...

not so impressed

It glows when plugged in, a glaring LED that emits a cold, monochromatic light, just off to the side. It's brighter than my screen. The color of green is an intense lime, yellowy green; not one of the more mellow pastel greens (as shown in the...

It's OK, but not as good as it looks.
