Hi guys
My salmosa I've had for a while recently broke apart so I'm thinking of getting a new mice. since I got a bit of cash now from helping my neighbor I'm thinking of picking up a decent mouse. Not to say the salmosa was bad, I just want something with more buttons and stuff so i picked this.

Does anyone know a mouse thats better for ballpark same price? I kinda want the mouse more for lights and gimics rather than for actual use but any suggestion works :D

This one just looks funny

I like the Kinzu a lot, but that doesn't really have any lights/gimmicks. Just get one of the razer Sc2 mouse if you really want lights and stuff.

Look at the ChinFrilla review. Apparently the mouse is good because it allows for customization and the concept is great. They just lack A LOT on the execution. And the rise oft he mouse sucks. Go Razer.

never used/seen madcatz products until their arcade sticks, but their arcade sticks are fantastic (especially the TE sticks).

just saying that their arcade stick (TE) is good

I can't tell if that's an insult or not, but my experience of madcatz would think it's an insult. Hell only their TE sticks use actual quality parts i think Seimitsu? parts the rest use knock offs.

Frankly that mouse always made me think of Logitech G9

I know it has been said 50 billion times but... mini optical. Get out a soldering iron and solder hi-power LEDs all over it.

Haha, actually madcats makes shit-house arcade sticks, the ones with actual seimitsu/sanwa parts cost twice as much as they are worth.

EDIT: Actually I can't tell if bomb-ass means good or bad, looked at above post, I conclude that you mean bad. So my bad lol sorry.

I would recommend against getting Mad Katz mice. Their mice are terrible. You should opt for a Razer Death Adder. You can get one for $20.

i mean i had a few madcatz cube controllers for smash. it was k but it didnt feel right it its not the official ones. I think i should just take my razor, fix the left click button somehow and solder a few leds in there or get a deathader. But just look at that mouse it looks so pro :'(

no it's not an insult, it's a compliment

they use sanwa




and to the guy that posted below you, in the US the TE can be had for about $100. importing all the parts yourself is already $50, plus you get a case with QD buttons and good solid construction and $100 looks real cheap.

i remember when HRAP1s were $140 and only had a sanwa stick but hori buttons, but at least they had QDs.

yea times have changed.





sorry to derail topic. carry on.
