MSI is not so known for its mice than for example its laptops and motherboards. Today we have their new gaming mouse in our hands.
Looks (if you happen to like tribals and Vegas), Working design, Price
Looks (if you're really not a big fan of tribals and Vegas), Flimsy build-quality, Not MSI's own product, Software
I do hope that the software-side of the mouse will be improved. This version of the mouse, the GS-501, does feel a bit too "plasticy" especially when compared with the likes of the Steelseries Ikari-series and the Logitech G9. For a mouse this price, I re...

In this review we will be focusing on Microsoft's latest gaming peripherals. The X5 gaming mouse lends its design from the previous SideWinder Gaming Mouse. X6 Gaming Keyboard on the other hand is a completely new product.
Easy to use software, Accurate tracking, Rubberized sides, Easy to use software, Adjustable backlighting, Rotary knobs, Same size, more keys/functions, (Un)mountable numpad
Feels a bit "cheap", Feels a bit "plastic", No height control at the back, No USB hub
It is just plain hard to judge certain types of hardware. Mice is one good example of these. What fits ones hand can be terrible to another. What makes ones gaming experience more intense and "productive" may make another gamer to shoot his/hers on leg. I...
After reviewing the two headsets from Steelseries, we are going to review two gaming mice from the same company. As the owner of Clanbase, the biggest online gaming community, the sponsor of dozens of professional gaming teams, and one of the biggest prod...
Great shape, Good tracking, Great price (~38€ in Finland), No drivers needed, Great Shape, Good tracking, No drivers needed (even for macros), Decent price (~60€ in Finland)
No key binding possibilities, High lift distance, Limitations in binding, Problems with the SX mouse pad
Steelseries has once again succeeded in producing reasonably priced products for gamers that do just what they promise. Of course the shape of the mouse is always the biggest factor when buying a new mouse. If the shape of the mouse fits your hand these a...

These days there are tons of gaming related devices available. For the most parts, these products can be dismissed as marketing tricks. These devices have nothing to do with gaming or they have a name of some famous gamer slapped on to them at best. This...
Small size, Built-in cover (can't be lost), Fast transfer rates
Button placement, "Only" five configurable buttons
Facts are now laid out and it is time for judgement. I have to say that for me the SideWinder was a mixed package. It felt perfect on some areas but let me down on others. I believe that in my case, most of the problems were caused by the dimensions and t...
In this review we will be taking a look at 3DConnexion's six degrees of freedom controller called the SpaceNavigator. This is the latest model in 3DConnexion's product lineup and it is aimed for, like they say on the company's website: "for architects, ar...
Very intuitive to use, Price of the PE model, SDK available, Multiple OS support
Not for everybody, Only two buttons

Most gamers will agree that the mouse is one the most important pieces of input hardware one can have when gaming. Mouse is also the main input device in most game genres so it is easy to see why manufacturers would like to find the Holy Grail of gaming m...
MicroGear Scroll Wheel, Clean software, Nine buttons, Changeable grips

Computer gamers around the world know that the accurate laser mice work best on high quality mousepads. Movements are fast and accurate when the mouse glides easily over the surface. We've seen pads made from aluminum, steel, fiber, glass and plastics and...
Good "touch", Multiple configurable keymaps, High quality and cool looking
Higher than the EC-R, Very slim, Slippery, Extremely good grip on the base, Nice box
According to the specifications, the surface is different than the one found on EC-R. I didn't notice any differences in usability, glide properties etc. Compared to the all-black EC-R, the grey Q-logo on XT-R is a nice touch. XT-R doesn't feel too flexib...

The optical sensors have slowly become more and more accurate but now a whole new level of accuracy has become available due to the laser technology. Instead of traditional led-based optical mice, there's a non visible laser beam in the mouse which - at l...
Light weight, Accurate / high sensitivity, For both hands
Compromises brought by support for left and right hand
The Logitech G3 proved to be a good gaming mouse with no fancy special properties. Personally I still prefer wireless mouses but there was definitely nothing wrong with this one either. When it comes to mouses I'd call myself a normal user and to be hones...
Small mouse for laptop use.
Transmitter travels inside the mouse, Nice design
Normal wired mouse will do better even in laptop use, Finishing of the silvery plastic parts, Text in the manual
As a whole the Gemini RF-mouse did not offer groundbreaking surprises excluding the clever place for storing the usb-transmitter. Discrete transmitters should be banned for now. Mouse really fits in more occassional use and if you are not into games it is...
