i know we are not supposed to post links to competitors but as ocuk dont sell it i thought it might be ok?

What do you rekon, any good? My fingers ache like hell after extended gaming sessions, i think this might help, also looks really cool!

yeh i wasn't going to buy that exact one (from korea!) but something similar.

and the mx518 is a normal mouse, i want something different like the gun mousey thing!

OCUK sell mice. This is a mouse.

Try this instead:

That is interesting, wonder if it will be a hit.

I have that mouse, its not that good. It actually not brilliantly made. I will be going back to a traditional mouse soon.

ahh J.B i was hoping no-one was going to put me off!!

I did love it at first for its quirkyness, but I've had two (one and a replacement) and the same fault has occured where the rubber on the grip comes off.

Perhaps I was a little harsh, I do like the mouse and it does feel good quality. If a conventional mouse is hurting your fingers then this might be the way to go. If the rubber didnt come off I wouldnt have any problems with it

Looks nasty aesthetically, and doesn't look very ergonomic either.

Looking a bit crazy.
do they work?

Looks like a shoe.

That's the only input I have on the matter. A shoe isn't a mouse, it's a shoe. :|

Nice concept but difficult to implement properly I'd say.

Poor mans falcon... if you have spare cash, spend it on a Novint Falcon... they are AMAZING!

I have one... they are amazing for the games it works with (but it doesnt work with every game like a mouse)

I was looking at getting one of the Zalman's, but poor reviews convinced me otherwise.

Wow,

I've seen a photo of one before but immediately wrote it off, that looks awesome!
