EPTI was fortunate enough to be selected to be one of the first few to sample EG's new gaming mouse.
Developed exclusively for RTS (Real Time Shooting) gaming, EG worked alongside famed mouse connoisseur Payam Toghyan to create "the perfect mouse".
"Despite such modern advances in technology, mice manufacturers are trying to make their mice too fanciful. Nonsense like acceleration, prediction, etc, they supposedly are supposed to help the gamer. However, being a very professional gamer myself, I began to think of what could be done to create a mouse I could grow to love," Payam said. He added, "One night, I fell asleep and had a dream. I dreamt that I won an SC2 match. I looked into my palm and saw a mouse I had never seen before. On it were 2 letters: EG. I knew it was a sign. The very next morning, I picked up my phone and called EG's boss."
The mouse, called "The Payam", is designed for gamers of all grips. It has a patent-pending "morphic body" that is able to adapt to whatever grip you use-- be it claw, palm, fingertip or fingerless.

Bonjwa Blue morphic fingertip mode
"The colours were chosen because yellow and blue are the colours I bleed as a protoss," Payam said. "The retractable cord helps ensure that the cord becomes retractable," he insightfully added.
Comparison Chart:
As with all mice, quality should be judged solely by its ability to draw a free-handed straight line. So far, no mice in history have been able to achieve this feat. Will The Payam be able to break new ground?

As seen above, The Payam fares exceptionally well against other popular mice.
Being a protoss player stuck in Bronze league, I tried The Payam for the first time a couple of days ago. My APM increased by a whopping 110% (10 APM to 31 APM). Now, most mice manufacturers claim to make you a better gamer, but we all know better than that. However, with The Payam, I am now in Diamond-- with Zerg.
The level of innovation achieved by EG in this mouse is unprecedented. Never in the foreseeable future will we see a piece of hardware as groundbreaking as this.
"I am very happy with what I have been able to achieve with this mouse," Payam said. "I would like to thank EG for allowing me to spend all this time and effort to invent a product as phenomenal as this."
"With this new mouse, I hope that Starcraft 2, and games in general, will now go in the right direction. I am glad to be the architect of this new revolution," Payam said in closing.
EG's The Payam. Truly a class above the best.
