OCZ may currently be best known for its high-end memory and other internal components, but the company's apparently gotten tired of treading the same territory over and over again, now hopping into the ever-crowded peripheral biz with its Equalizer Laser Mouse. While the mouse's specs appear to be decent enough, with a maximum 2500 DPI resolution and six selectable levels, OCZ doesn't seem to be taking any chances with its introductory offering, decking the mouse out in a garish color scheme that's sure to stand out from the other, subtler mice lining store shelves. Taking a cure from NES controllers of yore, the mouse also packs a so-called "Triple Threat" button, which will let you get off three shots with a single click, or cut those exhausting double-clicking tasks in half. Those that prefer their gaming on a slightly smaller scale also aren't out of luck, with OCZ releasing the mouse in both desktop and laptop versions, each setting you back about fifty bucks when they're released next week.[Via TG Daily]
You know I'm down with OCZ, yah you know me!
Busted! This is a rebadged A4 Tech

took to long to confirm my post lol
Oh joy. A clone of A4 Tech's X-750BF. I'm so excited.
Actually I think this looks more like a Logitech G5 or G7 mouse.
Ok guys - did anyone notice that these mice look like a4tech products? I know it's not a popular brand in the states, but most of their mid-range mice are cool.
I purchased a mouse nearly identical to this about 6 months ago at Circuit City for $40. It's really awkwardly sloped, and can cause discomfort after long sessions of gaming. And the cord is smaller than most headphone cords.
Since when does circuit city carry 2500DPI mice? They occassionally carry a Razer mouse, but most of their stuff is 800DPI crap.
I know I'm in the minority here, but I strongly prefer a decent trackball over a mouse any day. I wish someone out there would make a gaming trackball. This thing makes my 800dpi Logitech Trackman Wheel cry.
A mouse with a turbo button?. ....
Wow, a triple shot button? Because CAL and CPL will love those mice...
with all the clone artist in the world today, who cares what it looks like. If the price is right and does what you want it to, buy it!
3 shots suck! You can press the trigger faster.
