HaloMods "Classic" Read-only Archive

My mom sent this news story to me in email. What are your thoughts on it? I am so getting one of these freakin things

Wow... That is sweet.

is it really necessary

Yes.

The price isn't terrible, so I may I get it.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. A logitech mouse like that would probably be well over $100.

I'm good with my mouse http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/sr ... B000J688YA
Its a different skin though, it has metal dents in it.

I have that same one (except it's the one straight from logitech).

Why in the hell do you need an LCD screen on a mouse?

It reminds me of the 56k modem built into the toilette in one of the SIMS games.

I could find a much better mouse for 20, hell even $10. Who needs all the extra add-ons to a mouse? Why would you even look at your mouse in the first place? On top of that, I don't use my mouse very often.

I firstly see no point in gaming mouses, but this crosses the line of ridiculousness. I can play games perfectly with my 15$ mouse. I don't need fancy features, as the game is the only thing that matters to me. I try not to make gaming expensive :\

gaming mouses tend to be more precise with the movements but i agree
they dont have to be the coolest looking thing
and dont need to have that much crap on it
15$ would be a decent price for a good gaming mouse

Looks stupid, I don't really like it.

Awesome mouse, but I just spent 50$ on a logitech mouse.

I got a $70 Razer Copperhead. It makes not only gaming easier, but also art. The On the fly Sensitivity is awesome especially when using the Pen Tool in Illustrator, or Cutting images with the lasso tool(s) in photoshop. I can use the super sensitive selection in sniping, and vehicles or turrets, and then switch back to normal for normal play.

Microsoft has used Razer Technology before, such as the Microsoft habu, which used a few of Razer's Technology. the Buttons looks awful similar to the ones on the Razer Copperhead, and of course the LCD on the mouse sounds pretty useless, but it seems like something that would be a really nice convenience. The Mouse has a really high profile look to it, and I really dislike High Profile mice. But since I got my Copperhead, I don't think I'll get htis because it just has an LCD screen and all the features my mouse already has.

Why?

Why would I spend 70 bucks on a mouse? Because it has an awesome Warranty, really great reviews, not only from magazines, but from friends that own one. They said it is very reliable, and a great mouse. I was in dire need of a dependable mouse, and this one fit the bill.

Whoa but why would i wanna spend $79 on a mouse?!

Oh, haha I wasn't directing the "why" at your post Cuda, I just now noticed that. I just put "why?" as in "why would you need that mouse (the one that muffin is talking about), it seems kinda stupid.

Looks like a big fat piece of pwnage to me

I won't get it unless I see it has super uber 1337 stuff on it. I agree the LCD is kind of overdoing it lol. But hey, look at logitech's gaming mice, they have prices higher than that.

They're way better though, lower response time, sensitivity changes, slick gaming feet, more buttons. The extra buttons on my MX518 help a ton in games, and the gaming feet make it easier to look around and stuff. It's also got the on the fly sensitivity changing buttons.
