    Damn it to hell

    I had an internal debate on whether getting the Mamba or the Orochi....and finally decided that the Orochi was the better choice....then they come out with this!

    Civil war is brewing in my head, I now cannot decide between the orochi and the alienware mouse...
    On one side, the alienware mouse is (seemingly) based on the highly regarded Logitech G9; and with AlienFX to match your system, its a perfect match.

    On the other, the Orochi is wireless, and after reading Chaz' review, quite a good mouse that also goes well with the M17x...

    This. Sucks.

    I only count 5, and the Logitech site does not list how many on the G9x. I mean unless Dell is counting the DPI buttons, scroll wheel left-right, or the buttons on the bottom.

    Would be nice if this was wireless. Just got a DeathAdder on Monday and the only thing I hate is that it is wired. But when I got it for only $45, it was a deal I couldn't pass on. Wish I had known the AW one was going to be so cheap for something with the alien head on it, I would have waited.

    ... Unless the almighty all knowing alienhead decides to not honor that deal and you all get your charges returned for reasons unknown.


    Soooo glad I got my Razer now, 45 bucks well spent. 100 for a mouse is just crazy. I miss they days where mice and keyboards cost pocket change.

    Perhaps the $45 originally was either a mistake or a promotional offer :p

    $99 actually makes more sense considering that's what a G9 costs (and this is just a slightly modified G9). I'd still suggest the G9 though for reasons of 2 interchangeable grips and a weight cartridge.

    Yea exactly. No reason to have one when the G9 is marginally better, unless the AlienFX and alien style really means that much to you. (You can change the colours just as much on the G9 anyway)

    I suppose $200 for the combo isn't too crazy.

    I mean, a dinovo would cost that, right?

    I paid about $170 for my Sidewinder combo..$200 isn't too much of a stretch but don't forget tax and shipping on top of that, so more like $250. That is a bit much..

    Personally I'll drop whatever I need to on a mouse and keyboard if it works well, is comfortable and looks good and has the features I want.

    Logitech G15 or G19 when I comes to keyboards. Don't get me wrong. I like alienware as much as the rest of you but my keyboard also gets to use another program with it that logitech doesn't make for it. Its MMO multibox software called Innerspace. It lets me reassign all sorts of keys to specific windows. I use it for the MMO Lord of the Rings Online.
    The person who designed the software made specifically to work with that keyboard.
    If you look around you can find a 1st generation G15 which has 18 extra keys but no LCD, Other generations have 6 or 12 but do have LCD. With the M1 thru M3 you can remap those keys 3 times. Turning 6 keys in 18 mappings. This is why its the perfect MMO keyboard. Can't do that with a AW keyboard.
    Now if only they could make an MMO AW Laptop with the Logitech G15 keyboard layout. It would be awesome.

    yeah I dont think it would be legal would it? for Alienware/Dell not to honour that price you paid for the mouse as advertised.....perhaps it was just a promotion.

    Good on you guys who got in there quickly.
