ZALMAN FG1000 Black Gun Mouse

Comment:
I truly like the Erg setup on this mouse, gave my wrist a break. Firing Trigger switches feel strong. Button layout feels natural. Tracks superior and turns on a dime! One particular of side Buttons (Not properly built buttons on side) stopped working appropriately immediately after two weeks. Cord was always catching on factors. Grip is as well small (this is a typical theme). I seriously wanted this mouse to function, I would have kept it if the side button had not gone out even given its weaknesses. Some ideas to Zalman, make it cordless, improve grip size, superior good quality buttons on side. Was not working with this for a FPS, was working with it for MMO, and it does take a tiny getting employed to and was at the point when all was comfortable and the side button went out. Not confident how you FPSsers game, but I use all buttons if they are nicely layed out, and they are on this mouse with possibly the exception getting the scroll button for thumb. But that concern could be resolved with larger grip style.

Comment:
Unique style of mousing. The deal with is pritty cool and the way you move the mouse is distinct but not poor. You cant use several buttons on the mouse at the very same time. The grip on the side peeled off. Not worth the price you spend. Manufacturer Response:Dear Valued Consumer,If you would like replacement grips, please fill out the RMA form on www.zalman.com and we will send you a set of grips cost-free of charge.Finest Regards,Zalman USA

Good selections. Effortless to alter sensitivity and customize the buttons. Extremely natural feel when in use, but it takes a tiny bit to get employed to how it moves. Ideal for MMOs, or even just common browsing. I knocked off an egg for some inferior material. The buttons really feel sturdy enough, but the padding that's around them doesn't like to remain on too nicely. When mine fell off, I tried 4 different kinds of adhesives. NONE of them worked for a lot more than a few hours of use. Annoying, but tolerable for what it can do. I didn't get from Newegg, but it absolutely has the best cost when it's on sale.General, this mouse is worth it. If sufficient people get them, possibly Zalman will lastly make the subsequent generation. Hopefully much more sturdy and nicely-created, although.Also....maintain in thoughts that it may not be very best for men and women with major hands. I have reasonably modest hands and it's a perfect fit.

ERGONOMIC. Trigger, reload, melee, switching weapons—all on the fly. Wants a wireless version. I jumped on this when it was a shell shocker deal for ฤ. Very best selection I've ever produced. EVER!

Not as big as you would feel. As a matter of truth, it is quite modest. Worked perfectly fine with Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. Drivers installed perfectly. I appreciate the software due to the customization capabilities it has. I put on a size Medium glove, and this fits my hand perfectly. Other people complained about the pinkie finger falling off, but mine fits just fine in the space offered. The DPI indicator in the scroll wheel is great. The movements are super smooth. I just got mine on a daily deal for ฤ which appears to be common. I would wait till the this happens again, as it seems to take place frequently in the reviews. Takes a tiny receiving utilized to, but that's to be expected. In my opinion, it is like a joystick made adore to a mouse and produced this incredible item. Feels like a joystick, plays like a mouse. I even use it for every little thing else outside of gaming. My former mouse was somewhere around 400 DPI or much less. The 1600 DPI increase to 2000 was the difference among me having a 1Ʌ kill/death ratio in Counter Strike Source to getting a 3Ʌ or 4Ʌ ratio. I have only owned it for 1 day, and played L4D 1 & 2 and CSS with considerably much better results. It feels a lot more natural in FPS's than anything I've ever played with before... even dual analog controllers. If you are a Computer gamer who plays mainly FPS's, this is the mouse for you. The cost is a tiny steep unless you get it for ฤ like I did. This is primarily because there are lots of other ๖ mice that are superior for overall gaming. When a ๖ mouse is laser instead of optical and goes up to 3200 DPI as an alternative of 2000, the option is apparent. Like I said, I bought it because I primarily play FPS's...

* Ergonomically outstanding. If standard mice hurt your wrists, this mouse will undoubtedly support. I purchased it not for gaming but just so my wrist wasn't rotated all the time. In this respect, it's excellent. My wrist never hurts any longer.* Mouse wheel feels ideal, in best spot, one of the ideal I've ever used.* Buttons (most) have a wonderful really feel, nice "click" to them. * Rubber grip pieces (one on every single side) will most likely each come off ultimately. They actually distort over time. I had to trim each and glue them back on.* Maybe it's just mine, but my "left" button does not really feel the same as all the other buttons. Still works, just doesn't "click" like the others. Too negative taking into consideration the other people really feel so very good.* Cord oddly comes out of proper side of front component of mouse, rather of the front. No thought why they did this. Does make cord a lot more prone to get caught on items, depending on layout. Not a large deal, just some thing to consider. * Not a laser mouse - optical - be advised.* The sensor is in the forward component of the mouse. This is so you can make much more sensor motion with much less wrist motion. * You can system three DPI settings and change them on the fly. I would have preferred just two (normal and "sniper"). But regardless, functions fine.* For smaller hands.* Mouse is extended, takes up a lot of genuine estate; you'll require a massive mouse pad.As a gaming mouse, I don't consider this provides additional than other gaming mice. Just doesn't add substantially to the equation. As an ergonomic mouse, nonetheless, I feel it's exceptional, as long as you have smaller sized hands. If you want to game with it, too, it'll work just fine. Finest description is, it's the only ergonomic mouse that doesn't hamper gaming at all. Doesn't add, but doesn't subtract, either. And that's fairly uncommon.

- Brilliant Thought, a gun mouse.- High DPI setting is a plus- I got it for ฤ as a shell shocker- Worth 20 bucks, not worth 60.- The motion is wonderful, allows for quite precise movements. - WAYYYYY to modest!!! ZALMAN Repair THIS!!!!- It feels awkward and uncomfortable if you have even slightly huge hands, at least one particular finger of your hand feels as though its becoming forced off, needs to be both taller and wider.- I have a sneaking suspicion that the two side mounted buttons are going to wear out soon.- The wheel is also difficult to press down. I'd spend ์.00 for this ONLY IF it had been bigger, heavier, had more buttons and was a lot more substantial.

Comment:
It's a quite intriguing style; the distinct form helped relieve some of the discomfort I tend to encounter following several hours of mouse use. The buttons are nicely responsive, and the tracking is outstanding. Regrettably for me, my hand is significant (well, both are big, but I only use the 1 for mousing). In order to have my fingers appropriately aligned with the buttons, I have to mash my pinky into the desk. This is extremely uncomfortable immediately after a whilst. I only took one particular star off for the sizing concern, as most people won't encounter that difficulty. There's not seriously anything they can do about it with no creating an completely new style for persons with freaky butcher-hands.

Comment:
extremely comfortable to use it. the front buttun is no use and move not that superior to play shooting game

Comment:
100 - 2000 DPI setting ,all buttons are proper at your fingertips and straightforward to hit.Takes a little to get applied to.I like it. The grip is a small short for my hand (can only get 3 fingers on it)Is it a con?I don't know,just seems it should be taller (would have gave it an Superb if it was taller) Like I stated ,it takes a small to get applied to.Is it superior than my Razer Viper??Only time will tell.

Comment:
The adjustable dpi is remarkable! I switch from gaming to net surfing to photoshop frequently and the mouse does a fantastic job in each and every capacity. I have little hands and the mouse is comfortable for me but my roommate is 6ř and has a hard time working with it.

Comment:
Very good dpi. I have med-significant hands, and I got utilised to it OK. Build quality is fine (Korean). As other individuals have noted, the programmable thumb buttons are NOT PROGRAMMABLE. In most instances, they do Nothing at all. XP, 7, doesn't matter -- nothing at all. This takes away about half of the effectiveness of this mouse for those who want to execute actions with a single hand. Emailed Zalman to tell them about the concern. Their really valuable response:"We don’t have any other options to aid you on your situation. Sorry."Thanks for the honesty, at least. First and last Zalman product I buy.

Great mouse, takes a little acquiring utilised to but it's a quite comfortable experience and it can take the place of your normal mouse.Love the on the fly DPI changing, genuinely helps for a selection of scenarios. Customability is a plus too :)Got it on sale! Does take a little acquiring applied to. The mouse fits my hand comfy, although I tested it with a few of my pals at our LAN and the mouse was a bit smaller for a few of them. For most of us, it was fine though. Not seriously a con, but it's worth mentioning.The largest CON that I see, and the cause I'm re-writing my evaluation, is that the plether hand grip has started to peel off. In no way had this occur ahead of with any of my other mice, and for something that was asking for additional than โ initially I would have expected it to be constructed greater than some ****** mouse from the back of my junk bin. May just be my mouse, but nevertheless I think I can anticipate superior from some thing that is supposed to be an high priced mouse.Oh, it has a cord. Not a cause to drop an egg at all, but hey would love a cordless version if it were obtainable :) All in all, I actually do like the mouse. My wrist feels great, doesn't get tired, and my hand fits it just fine and I'm used to working with it for just about anything that I'd need a typical mouse for. The only cause I gave it 3Ǜ eggs is because it shouldn't be falling apart on me right after 2 months of use. I'll just glue the grip back together and hope that it sticks this time. Zalman is a fine firm to purchase from btw, but I'm judging the product not the corporation here.Final thing, I purchased a enormous cloth mat mouse pad to get the very best use out of this mouse. ahead of I was employing some thing under 8" square, and that's too modest for this mouse. I recommend going with a thing at least 12" square. Would I purchase this mouse once more? Yes, but I'd keep my ear closer to the ground for a item that has superior evaluations in this price range and go with that if it had the functions I liked from this mouse. I hope Zalman takes this item as a studying knowledge and develop's one thing great soon :)

I like the ergonomic fill of the mouse. Moving in the X dir. is fast. The two thumb button places are in a excellent position. The thumb buttons on the mouse are not programmable. To me a gamaing mouse will have the option of programming all the buttons. Do not get this mouse if you plan to use the thumb buttons. Y path movement is not as superior as a standard mouse. Like the final evaluation, I actually wanted this mouse to function. Not getting able to configure the thumb buttons is a genuine negitive for gaming. Immediately after a couple of emails to Zalman I get the feeling they are not supporting this product. This mouse is way too costly for what your getting. My hands are medium length and heavy, my three fingers resting on leading of every single other are the height of the manage and I have no concern with how the grip fits my hand.

Comment:
excellent thought, good control, nice responsive buttons The handle you hold on to is considerably too short and not massive adequate around,if you are going to make a gun handled mouse at least make the handle so it is comfy for an typical sized hand,not a 4 year olds squirt gun it is going to take some getting applied to

Comment:
This item is not effectively designed. My wife has modest hands, which is why I bought it for her and she plays CS, TF2, and other FPS games daily, but this is not a superior mouse replacement even for those games. Too little even for people today with tiny hands. Only a Extremely young kid would locate this comfortable. My wife is 5ƈ 120lbs and her hands are quite tiny but even her hands are too big for this mouse. The movement is just not precise sufficient, users of a Logitech G5 laser (like my wife) will notice the distinction. The button placement is very suspect, and hitting some of the buttons (even assuming you have small hands) is incredibly uncomfortable. Zalman usually makes fantastic goods but this one is a dud. Possibly a decent choice for tiny youngsters (who play FPS games...?) or Very tiny adults, but even then this still can't compare to a G5 laser. This is truly a "try ahead of you get" product but there is no way to test it very first, so hopefully this evaluation will help some men and women taking into consideration this product. I'm outside the RMA period so I guess I'll sell it.

- Ergonomically developed to lower carpal tunnel effects of gaming with a mouse (My wrists are- The three modes enable me to adjust in between designing (low dpi) to gaming (med-to-high) - Pressing the middle mouse key wheel button is cumbersome at times simply because I have huge hands I purchased this for 20 bucks shipped at a newegg shellshock unique, and it was totally worth it. Greatest deal of the week!

Comment:
Got it for 20 dollars with cost-free shipping I believed I would give it a try reading others critiques hoping it would function but, it's just to modest for my hand, and it takes a lot much more effort to aim you have to move your whole hand compared to your fingers with my g5, and it's incredibly challenging to be precise for aiming. Don't acquire it save your funds for a logitech, negative style appears like it may possibly be superior from the photos it's not.

I like the idea, buttons are situated conveniently and there are a lot of buttons. Device is way too tiny. The actual mouse sensor (the portion that moves your cursor) is located about three inches in front of exactly where your hand rests. This causes movements to be awkward, specifically small precise movements. With a typical mouse, the movement sensor is directly under your hand. I dont see any cause why they didnt put the sensor underneath where your hand rests. It seems like a important style flaw.The little bump that's supposed to be a pinky rest is extremely annoying and uncomfortable. I'm an typical sized man, with average sized hands. Some could say my hands are slightly smaller than typical (same size as my girlfriend's hands). That being stated, this device is too little for my hands. I dont want to get into stereotypes, but whatever demographic they utilized to test this for design had hands that had been considerably smaller than mine and a lot of the other reviewers here.Even with its little size it can be applied, but the awkward movement has made me not want to use this product significantly. I havent applied it sufficient to get utilized to it due to the fact of this. I'm really glad I got this on sale due to the fact its not worth the full cost of ๖.If it had been about 25% bigger, and the movement sensor was situated underneath your hand instead of in front of it, this would be a good gaming mouse, and would make shooters additional enjoyable to play. As it stands, its mainly just a novelty.

Got it for ฤ shell shocker sale.Fast and straightforward install on win7 with plenty of characteristics.Fits my hand perfectly.Lightweight and easy to move about.Could tell a huge distinction in my aim performance.Gaming just appears a small cooler now :p It is wired. I personally don't believe it is worth any a lot more that ำI tried quite a few various techniques of holding this fps gun and come up with the following ideal result. If you grip the gun and hold you arm slightly above your desk surface, Now attempt and move left to suitable with the gun even though strafing. You will notice your hand eye coordination functions itself a lot better this way as to lying our arm on the table.

It's like using a mini joystick. The trigger and thumb spots are in a very good position. If you can get this mouse for ฤ then it's worth it. not sufficient room for pinky finger. kinda little I don't mind the way of holding the mouse but I wish I had a lot more space for my pinky finger somewhere. I also come across that I tend to hold the mouse a small bit off center? It could be since the mouse may be too modest for my hand.

Comment:
This mouse appears to fit better ergonomically. I don't have wrist pain using it. The scroll wheel can be set to glow red, purple or blue if you like that sort of thing. Each and every when in a while the wire coming out the appropriate side will hit something, but I shouldn't have stuff there anyway. This mouse takes a bit of getting applied to but it's wonderful. I was moving the mouse to the side each time I pushed the button until I learned to push the button farther towards the tip of my finger. I wasn't a large fan of the glowing scroll ball at first but I like it now.

- For sale, ฤ, was a excellent buy.- Fits comfortably in my hands (I'm 5Ǝ", average build I suppose). If you have the proper sized hand, this mouse will be very comfortable and form fitting.- Extremely effortless to use.- Thumb wheel is incredibly good.- My wrist doesn't get fatigued from employing this mouse, that alone is wonderful and the greatest reason why for a sale cost of ฤ it's worth checking out. - Takes a bit of obtaining employed to. Immediately after a couple of days of gaming and browsing I was beginning to truly like it.- Gotta play around with the sensitivity settings to come across the proper levels to get the finest use out of it.- You have to get a mouse pad that's at least ten" square, I was using a tiny 6" 1 for the longest even though and it wasn't working very properly with this mouse. Honestly I use it at a quite high DPI when I'm browsing and use tiny movements, but for gaming you'll want to use wider movements.- The thumb wheel is also your middle mouse button, and it is a bit challenging to press down on due to it's location and angle. I think the devs really should put the wheel at a slight angle so that when you "close your thumb" it works significantly better, rather than having to push down on it with the side of your thumb (which is a bit awkward thinking about how ergonomic the rest of the mouse is). I genuinely like this mouse, it's quite comfortable with my hand and it's got a lot of good capabilities for the sale price of ฤ. I think it's worth the full cost anyway, but no one desires to invest โ+ on a thing they don't know considerably about.People today who are complaining about the size have to have major hands. If you're huge handed, this mouse will feel too smaller. Honestly, I suppose it could afford to be a tad larger and a little more weighted, but if your average size then this will be worth the sale cost no doubt.I use this as my primary mouse now, and love it for a multitude of gaming types (FPS, strategy, 3rd individual action, and so on). I have to say the thumb roller is very good for that sort of factor. Final thoughts, undoubtedly get it if you're a gamer and/or your wrist provides you problems. On sale, it's a need to acquire.

1) Helps with wrist pains. I have experience lots of wrist pains with standard mice, and this helps quite a bit. It sits at a comfortable angle that is uncomplicated to use (after receiving use to it).two) The adjustable mouse sensitivity. This is actually beneficial when switching between games.three) Getting additional programmable buttons. I like getting in a position to tinker with my settings. 1) The cord is irritating. The cord on the side catches on almost everything. I taped it to the best front of the mouse, and I'm getting less troubles with it. My opinion is, if you devote a lot on a mouse, you actually don't want to have problems with its cord.two) The side panels fell off. I have two of these mice (one for work, and 1 for house), and each are getting the very same concern. It's pretty much like the insert was cut either too huge, or a small off on 1 side.3) Hand size matters. If your hands are are on the significant finish of typical, this will not function nicely for you. I have especially modest hands, (I just about fit kid sizes in gloves) and it's wonderful for me, but my other pals can't seem to comfortably use it. I would only obtain this once again if they A) did some thing distinct with the side cord, and B) fixed the issue with the side panel. It's comfortable angle is not worth those two problems at any cost. (of course this is just my opinion)

has two various color lights in it for the scroll wheel, extra buttons, doesnt look poor and the drivers worked for me surprisingly weird as hell to play with and the laser eye is on the wrong part of the mouse IMO. DPI could go greater...but its not a poor mouse, i just prefer my sidewinder mouse i have
