    Hi all,

    I was look at the new aleinware bits that have come out recently.

    They have 2 new monitors, 2 new keyboards and 2 new mice.

    I have been looking at them all with a few to getting them. Just wanted other people's opinions first?

    I was looking at the elite mouse and the gsync monitor and the better keyboard. I don't know why I have a thing for all my stuff matching.

    Good advice.
    Look on reviews. Not put yourself on specific brands. None out there is good on everything.

    So I did just that and decided against the monitor as its 240hz but still just a TN I would rather have an IPS.

    I did however buy The Alienware elite gaming mouse. Must admit it is very good but it does have some annoyances. Both left and right mouse buttons as they are seperate from the man chassis slightly rock side to side but I mean very slightly. Half a millimetre maybe. It is a large mouse which is great as it fits my hands far more than my Corsair M65 did. You can extend it to make it longer but this is very difficult you have to pull really hard, you do feel like your going to break the mouse. The fact the sides change helps as well. As you can have a Wing on the left hand side if you prefer. It is sadly and all plastic mouse. It is light. The 50gram weights you can insert do click in nicely but I never really notice the weights in any mouse. I play on a cloth surface as I prefer the quieter and smoother feeling as opposed to hard surfaces.
    Control centre Software is far better than the Current command centre. The interface is just so much slicker and more inline with the new Alienware software.

    Overall I am really happy with the mouse. Playing games like battlefield 4 feels Like its on Auto Aim. Lovely smooth clicking action. Just actually a really nice mouse.

    The monitor is something I want to get but until I can actually test 144hz vs 240hz in person, I'm not throwing out the cash. The Mice and KBs seem bleh and I rather go wireless for my next mouse.
