would be cool for RTS players too i guess... all the group keys right there at your mouse hand.
wow its t he mouse week? lol trying to make a new revolution? TIPS: i ait gona be mouses!
EDIT: Scratch that, i was thinking about the middle finger.
The mouse looks too flat and long. I doubt I'd like it at all.
Canon, fail. You have just diluted your brand franchise value. I was on the fence between buying a Canon printer and an HP printer. With this nonsense product you are marketing, it has helped me decide on the HP printer. I was also thinking about getting a Canon DSLR. But now I will go with a Nikon. I don't want a calculator on my DSLR just like I dont want a calculator on my 4x4 pickup or my mouse or my camera. Thank you.
All the black has worn off the Logitech emblem too.
But then I have had this mouse for years.
I also need to clean out the scroll wheel as it is hard to scroll in the mornings.:D
As for the calcumouse, I'm sure it has it's market.
The gimmick people.
There are many consumers out there who will immediately buy something if it is looked at as cool by other gimmick people.
It would be more useful if there is a calculator button lock somewhere on the mouse.
