    Has anyone bought this yet?

    I just picked up mine from Amazon for 99$ & it's waiting at home. Just waiting to unpack.

    Great! I picked up the 9. Been using it for about a couple of hours so far..seems to be working quite well though it does take a bit getting used to.

    Once I had played around with the dimensions a little and adjusted it a lot, I found it to be the most comfortable mouse I'd ever used.

    i heard they break easily though and support is bad....does anyone else know about that? I have always wanted to try one but never could justify that much money on something like that

    Seems to be pretty solidly built, so I don't think that it's going to break easily. Atleast, it doesn't feel that way. (This is after just 1.5 days of usage though). The software seems good too.
    Let's see how this turns out.

    I agree on the price point though. It is on the expensive side. Would not have spent more than a 100$ on this.. & when you compare the 99$ to other high-end gaming mice..it doesn't seem all that much over-priced. Good Razers cost 78$+.. & the Ouroboros will cost even more than this.

    The price has gone back up, by the way. It's $130 again. On both NewEgg & Amazon.

    Next I'll be looking at the S.T.R.I.K.E. 7 to go on sale to complete the set :D
