My new mouse came
After a few months of Badgering Mike Channell at PC Format about this mouse it finally came today, however many months later
I also got Brothers in Arms : Earned In Blood, Quake Wars and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory for my trouble, i was only supposed to get Audiosurf but i guess they didn't have it lol



The mouse feels great in my hand, i've got 15g of weight in it atm and it's nice and smooth, comfy too

Eh, you think that the sidewinder mouse is comfy? Tell me if you still believe this after a couple of days.
I would say congratulations, but..the mouse...congratulations for the games!

Feels comfy so far, i've sent an email to Mike thanking him for sending the mouse out to me and i'm gonna go jump on some Quake Wars in a bit to see how it shapes up when MSN's FINALLY installed (It's taken literally an hour.)

Congrats dude, I've used that mouse before and if you find the way it fits in your palm good, then it's a hella cool mouse to have, I use no weights in my G5 though and on the highest speed setting, that's one of the reasons I got the Razer Goliathus, speed gaming is my thing these fine days.

Edit: And now you can say "I got the first LCD screened mouse eva!!" and even people with G9s will have to bow down to you lol.
