HandshoeMouse Cordless Review
____________________________

As some of you may remember we recently took a look at the HandshoeMouse, a unique product that was unlike anything we had seen before. Years of research have contributed to the final design of this mouse and it really shows when you get the chance to experience it for yourself.

Didn't like it . may it is good for huge_handed people plus it needs much space to move.And finally 800dpi is absolutely not for hardcore gamers.

Zardon · Apr 3, 2009, 04:57 PM

yes, its not for gamers.

Hey Comp_Ali, I completely understand where you're coming from and I'm sure that there are many others who agree with your viewpoint, I even said myself "The mouse is by no means for everyone" as it is catered towards a very small niche.

As you may also know from reading my other reviews I am a gamer myself and personally I WOULD NEVER use this mouse for gaming so I agree with you there, "and gamers should not even consider trying it". The shape isn't at all appropriate and hardcore optical gaming mice should be 400dpi if they aren't adjustable.

Additionally, regarding the space for it to move, that all depends on how sensitive you have the windows setting and it really is no worse than gaming, I mean afterall gaming can take up quite a bit of space.... especially with some of the hardcore players who use low sensitivity settings and large surfaces to accomodate large motions.

Great review Nathan and the on the ergonomics this one looks good

As for gaming and such issues first off my first choice wouldn't be a wireless mouse because of the bandwidth limitations.

Hi Nathan, thanks for the review. I was wondering though, what is the battery life of the wireless Handshoemouse? Is there an indicator to show how much battery is remaining?

Zardon · May 20, 2009, 06:01 PM

we don't have the mouse at hand right now, if we get another one we can do some tests for you and try and figure out the real world life span.

NathanMarks · May 20, 2009, 06:04 PM

Hey Stygidan,

Unfortunately we didn't test the battery life of the mouse and there is no indicator.

WIth a mouse such as this though the battery life isn't as much of an issue as it is say, with the Razer Mamba. The battery will surely last quite a long time before needing to be plugged in as the mouse isn't really designed to be used for anything intensive such as gaming and only serves very basic functions so power usage is minimal.

As Allan just said in the post above though, if we get ahold of the mouse again we can do some tests.

stygidan · May 20, 2009, 06:12 PM

Great, that would be interesting. Still, I guess the fact that you can plug it in and carry on working means it wouldn't be such an issue when it did run out. I'd be interested to know what the battery tech is. Li-ion hopefully.

Zardon · May 20, 2009, 07:03 PM
