    I have to say the 3D motion controls and analog buttons look really promising to me.

    The tilt doesn't look stable though. Why not make the mouse two parts that can pivot around a point inside?


    I would also prefer to make it more like a glove (strapped to your hand) at this point unless the game requires typing occasionally.

    Unfortunately it'll still cause RSI under long period of use, going back to my Wacom...
    The earlier GT may address my concern though.

    Why? It's wired and the few extra buttons and sensors don't weight much.


    It's funny how the Logi mouses are used as examples of lightweight now.

    the lighter it is, the better a mouse will handle

    hmmm ... that mouse actually looks pretty interesting.

    i, personally, do not like mice that are super light.

    I would argue that it matters much less in low sen since when you're moving the mouse by your arm you're moving your own body's weight mostly. The 150g- weight from the mouse is just a very small part of the total.

    I use my arm to move the mouse, not wrist

    Definitely comes down to personal preference and which games you are playing. I haven't played a KB&M FPS game in YEARS, and don't intend to start any time soon. For the games I play (RPGs, MMOs), this mouse looks rather promising.
