not what i'd call a massive revamp.. screen looks part of it at least now rather than an afterthought!

Not to keen on the mouse, but why make a mouse so good, but not make it wireless. me myself i love my g7 <3

I really like the look of the new g15, but i dunno if i will ever bother getting it seeing as it won't use any of it .

i only really play css and i have all my fbuttons binded to what i need.


but i do sorta need a new keyboard :\

personally having had wireless mice I've gone back to cable. Had a Logitech MX900 bluetooth rechargeable and got fed up of it dying every day and needing a battery swap/recharge. Used wired usb as backup and eventually never went back.

1. Cable doesnt actually get in the way
2. Dont have to buy or recharge batterys so NEVER have to stop playing for a second

I love cable mouses and keyboards after having the MS Wireless Pro with all of its endless problems.

Razor Copperhead FTW

New G15 looks nice and also smaller.......

would still concider buying one if it didnt have wireless, just a personal view that a wireless mouse has more point than a wireless keyboard.

some uk shops are listing pice ranges from £35 - £50

New Keyboard looks nice, the mouse looks a bit overkill though. Just hope Sidewinder start making some new joysticks again. I had a Microsoft 3d sidewinder for about 6 years until it finally gave up the ghost, I almost cried, was such a good joystick lol.

On the whole wireless mice debate.... All i've ever heard about over comms of people using wireless mice is

"ah [insert expletative] I think my mouse battery has just died"

If you had some kind of setup whereby you sat 10ft away from your screen I could understand it but i've never experienced a moment where my mouse cable has got in the way of using my mouse.Â
