Laser Mouse Roundup - TechAmok
Laser Mouse Roundup - [hardware] 11:47 AM EDT - May,01 2006 - post a comment TheTechLounge
posted a Laser Mouse Roundup - they tested 5 different laser mice from the
likes of Microsoft, Razer and Logitech.
Right out of the gate, err umm...the design gate, Razer and Logitech leave
Microsoft in the dust. Microsoft's boring designs and bland color schemes will
do nothing to entice gamers to jump on the MS bandwagon. Ergonomically, the
Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000 is much more comfortable than its wired
companion. The sculpted sides and thumb rest feel more natural in my hand than
the ambidextrous design. Non-stick feet are nearly non-existent on both models
and don't glide as smoothly as the other laser mice. You would think that with
all of the money Microsoft has, they would be able to spend just a little bit of
it on R&D to come up with some product designs that are at least on par with the
competition.
The Copperhead wins the award for stand-out design, at least visually. The
blue LED waist-line wraps around the body and shines like liquor store neon
while the lighted wicked triple serpent logo pulsates like a viper ready to
strike. Simple black is tough to beat. The big primary buttons are easy to find
but I found the thin design slightly uncomfortable in my large hand. Smooth
gliding isn't a problem for the ultra slick gray Teflon feet. The neon blue LED
stripe is helpful in providing extra finger grip, but can get annoying during
long frag sessions.
Logitech makes no apology to left-handers with their rightie-only G5/G7 mouse
shells. Despite that, these mice were by far the most comfortable to me. The
large non-stick feet glide effortlessly across my mouse pad and my hand fits
nicely on the body. Visually, I found the G5's rusty battleship facade to be
more to my liking than the aqua and silver two-tone of the G7. Logitech now
offers a carbon fiber-look G5 mouse as well.
