Technically kandenchi very ordinary mouse with three buttons and compatibility with Windows XP/Vista/7 and Mac OS X 10.5 and up.

Here's how buyers would use a mouse (Elecom uses only promote images that show people the mouse with the right hand, but I guess this works for lefties, too):

Elecom plans to start selling kandenchi in Japan in October for $ 65. Ask specialized online stores as Geek stuff 4 U, if you are interested, but live outside Japan.

When it comes to games, the better, the better player. Logitech today announced its next generation series (g) gaming mouse, G300, and if this thing doesn't give you a competitive edge, you need to spend more time practicing. With nine customizable controls, you don't have to use the keyboard at all, means that the control that you would like to be beautiful lies beneath the Palm of your hand.

Because it's ambidextrous, this is the first mouse Logitech without thumb controls. Rightys and leftys can play with the same level of control. G300 mouse allows you to configure up to three different player profiles, too. So let's say you're playing bad company 2 and modern warfare 2 interchangeably. You can set the color to red for one control, and green for another, so that you do not start using controls of modern warfare, when you are playing Bad Company. There are seven different color options.

G300 touts 2500 DPI optical sensor that tracks of slow and fast movements, and the mouse works well on many surfaces. I have to play around with the G300 and believes that it is indeed very comfortably in either hand. Additionally it comes with Optional drag-and-drop software, which not only allows you to customize the mouse G300, but allows you to connect to the other products by Logitech as G-series keyboards and headsets. From there you can configure macros be distributed on all devices.

In terms of price and availability of G300 will go for an MSRP of $ 39.99 and will be available throughout Europe and the United States in September.

Logitech designs and manufactures consumer electronics and computer peripherals such as mice, keyboards, speakers and remote control.

The company has just announced a new version of his rather strange 7 R.A.T cyborg gaming mouse. This new version, dubbed Albino plan its matte white paint, the same infamous design in the rest of the line R.A.T. together with the extended 6400DPI sensor, which gives better tracking and response. Yes, a friend, this boy will make you King of the nerds at your next LAN party.

Mouse just went to order for $ 99. This is a bit more than your average gaming mouse, but well within the price range of most of the players are ready to give in hopes for more fragi. It is also the same price as the black R.A.T. 7, but will no doubt white hit the ladies — as if the ladies care about the color of your mouse.

I reviewed the SteelSeries Xai early last year, pronouncing this elegant and efficient. I still would recommend this today, except that the new and improved version has just been announced: Sensei. Simple and convenient design Shai intact, but there is a new metal surface (which has yet to prove itself; the old surface was great), custom lighting and some changes under the hood.

A new processor-mouse (which they observe fast as 1994 's Pentiums) allows for increased sensitivity, collation and processing of the laser sensor, up to 12 000 frames per second. Yes, this is probably overkill, but it is a quad-core i7 when checking e-mail. The new engine should improve tracking accuracy, especially for high CPI users like me whose mouse rarely moves less than an inch in 4000 points of intersection of display space.

Lighting was updated as well — you can now display a scroll wheel, high/low light sensitivity and logo with different colors. I suspect there will be plenty of flag regimens are distributed.

Below you will find the same mouse sensitivity and profile manager of the last few mice. Again, too, but it's nice to have. The overall design has not changed, although I must say I am sad to see the classic rough SteelSeries finish go.

We will definitely put this one through their paces. You can pick one up myself in September for $ 90 or 90 euros. Head over to SteelSeries for more information.
