Wouldnt touch another after using the DA chroma... Not saying they are poo but for small hands they are horrible to hold

You should try a zowie fk2, when you get tired of the DA that is

And yes the rival's are too chunky for my liking

Ordered a Fade edition, Have a Zowie FK2 at the moment, I have fat fingers so i'm trying it out.

Westie maybe you are interested in the counting the headshots feature lol

Thanks, but no thanks.

Just cause someone hasn't done it before doesn't mean it's a good idea.

Looks like a nice mouse although the little display is probably going to mean it's stupidly expensive.

Mart1ns · 5 Jan 2016 at 14:30

It looks like a cool concept, dont think I've ever seen a mouse where you could swap cable or even the top cover. I won't 've getting it though, I bet it will cost an arm and I don't like big mice anyway.

Tetsu · 5 Jan 2016 at 15:14

Not for me, gimmicks, weight will be too high. The only good thing is seeing that sensor in other mice. Now for someone to release something simple and light.

Twirlywoos · 5 Jan 2016 at 17:30

This monster is 159g

:eek:

Is that inc the cable though as it makes it lighter than the G502 if it is. hmmmmm

It's probably without the cable lol

Evian · 5 Jan 2016 at 20:09

Did they upgrade the sensor?

Twirlywoos · 5 Jan 2016 at 20:41

PIXART 3360. We'll have to see how it compares to 3366 which is exclusive to Logitech iirc as they worked with PIXART to develop it.

TwsT · 5 Jan 2016 at 21:21

I'll be getting one

TwsT · 6 Jan 2016 at 15:04

Owned a previous Rival which was awful, the material used for the side grips just disentegrates after light use, not sure if they have updated that material used in later models tho.

Perfectly happy with my Zowie

Yeah they changed that after the early models did that. All the new ones are the more durable sides. Have had one for over a year and the grips just look brand new.

TwsT · 7 Jan 2016 at 15:39

ahh so you did

and yes they did change the rival thumb bit, I believe they are offering replacements to people with that problem though. from the looks of their FB page.

Mine has failed but i got it free so no returns

Love my Rival 300 has been excellent so far.
