Gaming gets serious...Logitech announces new product line. For those of you that haven't seen it yet, the new peripherial offering from logitech do something that some companies wish they could do...take something old...and make it new. How about a custom weighted, max. 2000-dpi laser (adjustable from 400dpi) mouse sound? 6.4MP sensor? most digicams don't have that resolution! a battery indicator!?! FINALLY!! ![]() A wireless mouse...that comes with a spare battery, that charges in the base, while the other is in use? ![]() i won't go into the keyboard...make your own judgement. http://www.aoaforums.com/forum/attac...chmentid=13982 ![]() Here's the press release: Quote:
And here's the first review {with pictures}(at least that i have seen): ![]()

September retail. each unit should retail, for about 69.99(for the "low-level" mouse) to 79.99(for the keyboard), and 99.99 for the "high-end" wieghted gaming mouse. These are just approximations, as no MSRP is set in stone, yet. there will definately be some sort of packge with the keyboard and one of the mice, and i'll be sure to post pics when i get one in! ![]() Quote:
psst. it's in the press release. ![]()

problem is the resolution is not good for gaming. The MX100 is gearded towards office users, while the new offerings are geared to gamers....and gamers only. The battery life of the wireless mouse is short...expect to swap batteries at least once a week or so, with regular usage. A minor annoyance, paired with the fact that becasue the charger is in the receiver base, you never need to look far for the replacement. I'll have to wait ans see about hte weight of it tho, as becasue of my carpal tunnel, I must have a very free-flowing mouse. i'm interested to see how it compares to the MX1000 for gaming, but cause personally, i think the mx1000 stinks.

MX700? The MX1000 fixed that issue and gave me a battery indicator, but the weight and feel was off. The adjustable weight is a great thing. I always like a very heavy mouse with a rear bias, so maybe I will get that now. The keyboard is just overkill but at a lan, everyone would be oohing and aahing so why not get one lol.

Besides, handling the data from a 6.4MP sensor would require a huge level of electrical and processing power, especially as it'd need to handle ~12Gbit/sec worth of data.

Now if they could just make a wired Optical Trackball similar to the wireless optical trackman then I'ld think about a keyboard and mouse upgrade... http://www.logitech.com/lang/images/0/220.gif As it stands I have the Microsoft Trackball Explorer and it frag's folks just fine... plus I don't need a mouse pad ![]() ![]() ![]() http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/mo...-m_trackex.jpg Still using the old Logitech Elite USB Keyboard with the extra scroll wheel on the far left (makes for some nice scrolling though XP's image preview program ![]() ![]() ![]()
