Oct 3 2007Gun Mice Are Awesome, Wear You Out
When I first saw this mouse I thought it was a great idea, and I still do, but it needs to be improved slightly. It's awesome to play first person shooters with, but only for the first five minutes. Even with my incredible wrists and forearms I can't hold my arm in that awkward position for too long. What I'm getting at is that it needs an armrest. And for $70 it should come with one. It should also come with a warning that reads "If you use this mouse at work and yell "bang! bang!" whenever you click on something you will probably be fired." Because, well, that's what happened.

Yeah, I had one of those and you don't hold it in the air so your arm shouldn't get tired. You slide it around like a regular mouse and it is really cheap.

It's a good idea actually. i want to try one if you can sell it to me in a cheap rate, it's because one of my friend had an accident. she cannot recover well, so her hand cannot use original mouse for long period of time. i was thinking that if a mouse can be designed as up-right position, it'll less pain to her hand.
Dear designer, keep design more!!! you may help more people at the end.

this mouse doesnt cost $70. And if you paid that much then you got ripped off. Sorry.. GoGamer has that mouse for $19.99.

I liked this mouse for awhile, the right click went out on it within a week. I tried to contact "Monster Gecko's" support via email about it and got no response. I decided that i liked the feel of a regular mouse more anyways and gave up trying to get the whole right click problem solved.
