Comment:
If anything, this mouse is a wonderful remedy for those that have "claw hands" from holding a traditional mouse. Intuitive design and style (with an X-axis in a gently curved arc) of the mouse lends itself to hours of enjoyment. Bundled drivers permit tweaking of the DPI settings, senitivity, and so on. Regrettably the manufacturer doesn't give 64 bit drivers. Grips develop into worn and peel off with use (which is a lot more or significantly less anticipated with the strange adhesive they apply)I would have provided this solution five eggs but I knocked off 1 due to the fact of the lack of 64 bit support. I feel like this mouse was tailor made for me and perhaps it could be the one particular for you as well. If you're the variety that swears by conventional mice, then by all implies, appear towards yet another brand. If you would like a comfy, and different encounter, certainly give the FPSGUN a try.

Fantastic idea. Very good ergonomics. Seriously, this issue is too Smaller. If I had been 10 nonetheless then it would most likely fit fantastic. Also, you are restricted to typical mouse button functions or 'Forward' & 'Back' for remapping the extra buttons on the side of this factor. Great for online browsing, inexcusable for a gaming oriented device. All in all, if you paid complete cost, I am sorry. If you got this on a specific, it nevertheless isn't that special.

Cool design Where do i start , this gun feels like its created with the least expensive plastic ever , lazer skips , no choice that permits you to hold both buttons at after , as in : holding bottom button to aim down sight , and hitting the leading trigger to fire , you need to use scope toggle. Buttons sqeek when they are pushed in adding to the low-cost feel. Grip is tiny and half my palm has to lay on the mouse pad , should have been produced for a women. I dont don\'t forget this thing feeling this cheap when i tested it at the retailer. Im glad i only paid 20.00 for this factor given that my neighborhood redbarn nevertheless desires 99.99 for it. Unless theres 2 models of this issueand the 1st a single i tested at a computer store was a greater modelthey went affordable on creating this,

I like the idea and setup of this mouse. I have been employing it with Medal of Honor and BFBC2. It took a tiny bit of time to get used to it, but I choose it now more than a regular mouse for these games. I wear massive size gloves so the mouse is a tiny smaller for me. My tiny finger rests far more on the mouse pad than on the mouse. If you have a cramped region for your mouse the length may possibly be a lot more hassle for you. This was a steal at the ฤ I got it for from Newegg.

ZALMAN FG1000 Black Gun Mouse
Comment:
I locate this FG100 mouse rather properly built, and more ergonomic than an average mouse. I did purchase it as an every day mouse and not as a gaming device. My hands are rather large, but this mouse, in spite of getting tiny, fits very properly. The mouse will work with default settings in Windows 64 bit. Really ergonomic. There's no 64 bit driver for Windows (the manufacturer's internet site does not have them either). That suggests that no settings can be adjusted for this mouse on a 64 bit platform. Right here's the impactɅ. The mouse will not slow the cursor movement when the movement speed is slower. This tends to make a precise click way a lot more tricky to accomplish (as making a letter choice).two. The default back/forward buttons will perform, but forward button is additional accessible than the back button (lack of driver does not enable to reverse button assignment).three. The scroll wheel is extremely challenging to click. Although the scrolling is responsive and has fantastic "soft clicks" when scrolled.four. The mouse cable is not versatile enough for a mouse.five. A pinkie help is not removable, but it's not too annoying. Can possibly be dremelled off. I function with graphic software, use many Wacom tablets, "vertical manage" mice, and really sensitive to precision of the pointers. FG1000 mouse is a properly created solution, but the lack of drivers to control the precision and acceleration requires two eggs off in my books. My wrist relaxes utilizing FG1000, but for additional demanding function I retain a regular mouse handy.

Actually fairly very good for me in Left four Dead two, I set the custom keys to zoom and tablets works niceScroll location (pro&con), Rigid style grips thumb.Holds nice. tiny bit smaller, but not terrible to use just some finding utilised to like all new devicesScroll location makes it hard to press the button down because the thumb hits the sides 1st (unless you use your thumb tip to scroll) but laying your thumb across, you could come across it harder to press down then on an typical mouseAuto shuts off, will not power back on unless unpluged and repluged in. Why have auto off when battery life is not an challenge? Would be good to see solution for this in the software.dissconnected twice through gameplay the very first day, No troubles since Satisfied with acquire. Got for ฦ here when it was on sale.I would not commit โ+ on this item.In Firefox the two top buttons are back and forward(pre programmed) software program for it lets you choose two diverse DPI settings for each level, also sensitivity of the mouse. Software not poor.I cant compare to yet another gaming mouse simply because i went from a Labtec 800(generic mouse two button scroll wheel) wireless to this.Wireless would be nice but it may well eat batteries kinda quickly.

* The initial time I used it it felt like I was cheating* Got it for 20 bucks* On the fly dpi switch* Fits my medium sized hands properly* Swift adjustment time getting utilized to it* Moves wonderful* Comfy for medium to modest hands I would guess * Size is massive for my space, but hey, its a friggin gun mouse* DPI settings are not completely customizable. I dont like that because I uncover that just utilizing the FRONT of the mouse alternatively of moving the whole mouse is less difficult for me and my wrist, but that ADDS to movement, so the greater DPI setting is wasted on me. In particular for Black Ops. * Too light* Cord is in an annoying spot for me while it would be worse if it came out of the front* Could use some additional buttons, though I dont know where they would place them, the back perhaps? I gave this four stars simply because of the price I paid and it seriously is a great gaming mouse for FPS. Appears to be a single of the only ones out, so they are on the correct track, will certainly purchase the updated version if one particular is created by anybody. I would advocate this for 40 or below if you have medium to smaller hands, like beneath fiveཇ" typically.

Excellent ergo really feel, very responsive, performs incredibly effectively with every game I have played given that acquiring this back in June 08. Poor quality grip material. Have had them send replacement grips twice. Grip is a small smaller but you get utilised to it more than time. The bottom thumb button operates but stopped clicking the way it did out of the box which sometimes tends to make you feel it's not functioning at all. General I would obtain this once more and believe it's 1 of the very best mouse devices I have ever applied for gaming.

Price tag and design and style. I have problems with my hand with common mouse after playing extended period of time and this does get ride of the standard motion of a typical mouse and hand feels a lot far better following time.... Weight, i want it was a heaver unit, but thats my preferance on a mouse. Did not deduct a egg for this cause, but there is not a lot space for your pinky. there is a little flap at the bottom they exect your pinky to rest on and some occasions its slides off , only if they made that peace double the size and it would be great. the grip doesnt seem to be a issue for myself and buttons operate very good. I got on sale for 20.00 and i would buy a different, but if i paid complete retail cost i would have been dissatasifed with the unit totally. its a decent mouse, but like other reviers want dpi and was greater and lazer as an alternative of optical but i knew this going into the acquire.

Distinctive styleSomewhat comfortableLow cost (on sale)On the fly DPI alterations Not as efficient as regular mice. Rubber hand grips fall offSticky triggerReally poor option of supplies Zalman didn't correctly test this mouse! If you are someone who gets sweaty hands whilst playing games steer clear of this mouse at all costs. The rubber hand grips are held on by a measly piece of double-sided tape, and when you're making use of it, the heat causes the rubber to expand and then fall off because it is as well huge. And right after it cools down it still stays the similar size, so now my mouse is on the 32nd day right after obtain with both hand grips detached. It is still usable, but the ergonomics are virtually gone. I strategy on RMA'ing it with Zalman. It's a shame, I expected so much far more from them.

Excellent really feel and response. I'm not a gamer, but I was tired of the really feel of a standard mouse. So for about 20 beans I thought this was worth a attempt. I like the really feel of this mouse- it enables for greater lateral movement. I use 2 screens, so moving between the screens is simpler now. It would be nice if the driver for linux was included, but it works on ubuntu devoid of computer software ƒ buttons are not programmable). At initial I was concerned it would not work with my ubuntu OS (dual boot with xp). Though two buttons are not programmable, almost everything else functions fine on ubuntu 10.04 and the netbook edition ubuntu. I use this to operate on spreadsheets, papers, cruising the net, ect. On xp, almost everything is above expectations. It's great!

keeps your hand in a slightly a lot more organic position, if you're a kid way also small. My hands aren't that big, but this point would only go up to the middle of my hand. it forced me to use my middle and ring fingers to operate the buttons. also, with the sensor out in front rather of underneath the hand, movement is not all-natural and hard to manage. I got it on particular for below ฤ, and it wasn't worth the price tag. It will probably make a good gift for my 12 year old nephew. his hands are little adequate that it might match him for a year or so.

Comment:
The vertical orientation tends to make this substantially easier on the wrist for extended-term play. The trigger-like buttons and scrollwheel placed for the thumb feel natural.The optical sensor in the nose truly signifies that you can move huge distances horizontally with really small hand movement.The pinky rest could be also smaller for quite a few persons to rest their entire pinky, but it keeps the majority of it from dragging on the table. There is a separate rest for the ring finger above that, so the pinky isn't squished by the idle weight of the ring finger. The application isn't for Windows 7 (though the Vista driver must work), but doesn't have a driver for 64-bit something even although nearly every thing shipping now has Windows 7 64-bit. I contacted Zalman tech help, and got a response that didn't apply and was in poor English. The second reply was short and to the point: "In your case, the FG1000 doesn’t support Windows 7 64-bit. We apologize for the miscommunication." This indicates that the "programmable" buttons aren't.Even with the software, the DPI button is fixed in purpose and can't be used for anything else (which is OK due to the fact it's awkward and can't very easily be utilized in gameplay anyway).The forward/back buttons use the side of the thumb and are awkward to use, even after a couple of weeks' operating with it. I suppose these aren't applied much for games even though.The scrollwheel colour relates to the DPI and can't be set separately. The blue fits my setup, but I would choose the DPI associated with the red. It does take a small obtaining used to, particularly to be precise, but that's also the case if you're just going to a greater-dpi mouse than normal.I have an typical-size hand. The unit initially felt small, but I got utilised to it. My hand slouches a lot, so it doesn't take up the entire height like it would on a handgun grip.My pinky rests on the bottom ledge, and my ring finger is on the slanted spot above it. Those who felt crushed may have had their pinky on the slanted element. This provides a distinct spot for every single finger - pinky on the base, ring finger on the slope, other two fingers on the triggers, and thumb on the wheel.Oh, and I decided to stick with the middle DPI to get the blue lighting that matches my keyboard and speedpad...

Fantastic for your wrist. I can now play for hours devoid of any pain. On the fly DPI modify is fantastic. Very accurate, when you get the settings right. Could be a small bigger, if your hand size is huge. But no massive deal. Great excellent create. Feels rugged and sturdy, not cheap searching. Works nicely, fantastic response. I like the trigger action and pistol grip.

This is a solid gun-style mouse and is really comfortable to hold. It does feel tiny initially, but after a day of use, I'm beginning to like it much more than my typical mouse (a Razer). Mouse buttons (the triggers) are truly good and the tracking is smooth. In Quake Live, my FPS of choice, I noticed an immediate and substantial improvement in my accuracy. With the Razer, I felt like I constantly had to fiddle with the settings to attempt and strengthen it. With this mouse, it really feel excellent out of the box. You will need a decent mouse pad for this thing. It is longer than a normal mouse and a tiny top heavy, so you want a pad with as little friction as possible. On my cloth mouse pad, the mouse has a tendency to tip more than to the left if I slide it difficult to the left.The scroll wheel is a tiny awkward to use. It's not horrible, but it would have been substantially far better if the wheel was horizontal or at 45 degrees rather of getting vertical. As other reviewers have stated, it does feel a bit modest, but that feeling went away immediately after a day of use. I nevertheless want that it was just a hair larger - 1 cm taller and 1 cm wider would have created it best.

It's a wonderful mouse for what I paid, got it on a shell shocker for ฤ with totally free shipping. Thought I'd attempt it out. Not as very good as my G9x, but none the less it's fun to play with on FPS games. The cord gets in the way sometimes. If you want a decent mouse for FPS games, you can't go wrong, you can do much better, but if the value is suitable, don't believe twice, you'll delight in it.

Looks good from a distance. Win 7 didn't will need the disk to use it (plug and play). Modest quite smaller buttons are difficult to access. This mouse is not for Anyone with typical or big hands. The designer should have very small hands. My hands are typical+ and the mouse is just unuseable mainly because of it's size. I just can't understand the engineering on this thing. The only fantastic thing I got it on sale for 16.99 and that is way too significantly.Boo on Zalman for promoting this point.

DPI switch, programmable buttons, comfortable fit to correct hand. Application does not perform with Win7 or Vista. ZALMAN had a good thought when they released this mouse. Got it when it was on sale for 20 bucks, and was not disappointed in any way with it's efficiency. On the computer software side, although, I truly wish they would come out with a compatible version. Although you can't modify any of the sensitivities or buttons, at least it functions and the dpi switch is responsive. This mouse feels so amazing when playing Left 4 Dead two and Counter Strike: Supply. If it is on sale for less than 30$, and you have the funds to spend on an experiment then contemplate this mouse. Not advisable as a 'must have' or something, but it's certainly a fantastic second aiming utility.

Broad ranges of DPI setting, operation is correct and smooth, solid building. The click wheel takes a bit effort to press, no weight modifiers, modest grip for westerners with big hands (lucky I am an asian). Now you can squeeze the primary trigger alternatively of pressing the left mouse button to fire the M249A. You can squeeze the secondary trigger rather of pressing the suitable mouse button to toss a grenade or slice up your rival opponent. These motions are all-natural and this mouse tends to make a great companion of any FPS. This mouse does take some time to get utilised to, specially if you are a veteran of FPS. There are reports about this mouse may possibly only be good for FPS. I don't know because I have not tried play WOW utilizing this mouse. But I picture the getting-used-to-it-curve can't be that deep.

This is a really good mouse. Zalman did a great job with the shape and size of it.*Good shapeƦ added buttons (I set mine to flash nade and knife)*On the fly DPI switching with color indicator*Quality material*Long cord*Good price tag (Shell shocker for ฤ) There had been a couple of issues I had even though*The two side buttons can only be configured with limited selections and no macro support*Cord is angled away from my laptop or computer (I have no thought why) I've heard folks say that the grip falls off but mine has none of those problems. Also some persons say that this mouse can only be utilised for FPS gaming but I've utilised it in SC2 with no complications

I have quite a few mice and joysticks. I use a Razor Mamba, and a couple distinct Saiteks. I locate myself grabbing this Zalman FPS Gun for everything. Now I don't have hands like a Quarterback, but not every person does, so the tiny comments don't fly. It operates rather well. Correct now I'm running it by way of Crysis two and haven't an problem. If you Game 23 hours a day and swallow caffeine pills and drinks like a drunken sailor, it might not be for you. Takes a tiny obtaining utilized to. Sturdy enough for the desktop. Like to see the umbilical cord swappable left or ideal, or even wireless.
