I had a chance to see and use one of the new OOMice this weekend. In hand it felt a little small as I had to cramp my hand up a little to use all the buttons. Programing was fairly simple but all the extra buttons can get confusing for your fingers. Did not perform well on surfaces not intended for mice (glass / gloss wood) and DPI is a little lower then I would like for percision controlled FPS. Also would of been alot better had it been cordless and rechargeable.
I was also a little dissapointed that the comparison was against a Logitech G9, which is a garbage mouse, instead of my goto gaming mouse the Logitech MX 1000 Laser mouse. The MX1000 is very comfortable in hand and is alot heavier due to rechargeable batteries, but I enjoy the extra weight and the control it helps deliver during combat. The MX1000 has 10 buttons which allow you to configure most of your commonly used commands. DPI is very high and the laser works on many surfaces including glass and wood. No cords and a long battery life with quick recharge. The MX1000 when used with the G15 gaming keyboard are far superior alternatives. No mouse can replace the keyboard regardless of how many buttons you give it.
OOMouse positives:
Lots of buttons
Almost easy to program
OOMouse negatives:
Overall size is to small
Not weight adjustable and very light
You have to cramp your hand/fingers to use all the buttons
Low DPI and not very percise
Does not work on multisurfaces very well
Annoying old fashion cord
Not rechargeable
Overall I give it a C+ . Maybe people in the CAD field will enjoy it more then gamers.
Im sticking with my G15 and MX1000
[NB: This mini-review was based on a look at the Mark I prototype which had an optical sensor and a CPI ceiling of 1,600. The present Meta is the Mark IV prototype which has a laser sensor and a maximum CPI of 5,600. - The WarMouse team]
