Hi Guys.

We have kept this a secret until now. But I can now officially announce the worlds first mouse with Cherry MX Blue switches under the hood!

Leetgion Hellion RTS Laser Gaming Mouse @ £59.99 inc VAT

Hellion, inspired by the popular StarCraft II unit is fast, accurate and deadly. This professional gaming mouse packs a world first, true mechanical keyboard keyswitch. Use the in mouse memory to keep your custom settings and profiles on the go, and fully driver independent. Together with unmatched quality design and components, the Hellion is the best weapon for owning your opponents. In the heart of Hellion’s laser sensor engine sits the Avago9500 sensor. The Hellion’s laser sensor engine is capable of DPI ranges of 100 to 5000 DPI, and compatible to all surfaces. The Hellion moves both fast and accurate, perfect for all game types. Besides packing the Cherry MX Blue, the Hellion’s dedicated attack key has more tricks up it’s sleeve. Hidden behind the button is an aluminum plate, used to provide extra stability, and truly mimics the engineering of a mechanical keyboard. The Attack key is here to replace keyboard hotkeys with nothing but the best. Making “hit and run” or killing tactics smoother than ever. The Omron Japan D2F-F Micro Switch has long been the top choice of custom mouse modders due to superior quality, durability and feel. The crème de la crop of mouse switches. Patent pending physical profile switch wheel, eliminates the need to rotate through multiple profiles. Turn to the exact profile you need, within the four fully programmable profiles. You’ll never lose track of which setting you are on. The multi color LED system not only displays the current profile or DPI setting. The internal LED lighting system provides 16.7 Million color combinations. Set any color you want for the 4 programmable profiles. Match the Hellion’s lighting theme to your team, faction or class, show your colors!

The LED colours can be adjusted. Not a single colour. Different colours for different profiles.
 
thats the right amount of choice.

just played a game of BF3 with our sample. quite a nice mouse. doesnt suit my personal preference but everyone in the office really likes it.

its quite strange feeling a cherry switch on the side of a mouse
 
its the red side button. the top buttons really have no scope to be replaced for cherry switches. it works well on the side. i cant imagine it would be too hot on the top buttons.
 
In terms of the internals of this mouse, it should perform solidly, though it should be noted that this sensor actually has a stepping of 90, not 100, so when you set 500 DPI, it is actually 450 DPI, the rest is interpolated by the mouse. The switch choice for the mouse buttons is good, we are seeing this more and more, so good choice by Thermalright. I have only used this once, but it didnt feel great, it was a little heavy, though some RTS gamers will probably like the weight, so it could be very good depending on your play style.
It has been getting some good "reviews", though when "Class leading packaging" is one of the good points, it kind of takes away from whether this is actually a good mouse.
Hopefully the mods wont delete this one

Interesting concept but in its current form I suspect something of a niche market.

I avoid side buttons like the plague generally (WMO 1.1a > *) but I could see how a mechanic switch side button could actually be useful to me if done right but I don't think this mouse quite achieves it.
