A look back on popular stories from today in a specific year.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
My real dream is just to have 2 iPhones as my speakers, 1 iPhone as my screen, 1 as my keyboard, and 1 as my mouse. We can't be far from turning that fantasy into a reality. Let's go, Apple.
Maybe we could get them to do some hivemind shared computing
Does the retail version come with all the cord?.
I hope not, I've been gaming with a G7 wireless logitech for a year now and the MX1000 before that.. Both have performed flawlessly. Its time for all mice to go wireless.
nothing wrong with a cord. i dont find much of a performance difference but i figure im saving on batteries using my Razer DeathAdder instead of some wireless mouse. i've used a Logitech G7. nice mouse. but im not about to pay more for wireless.
what makes this mouse look like a Razer is the 1 and 2 buttons stick out over the front. makes it look extra aggressive.
Unfortunately it is unlikely that anyone has a resolution wide enough to see the end of your comment.
wow, the previous comments are all pretty lame...
please show me how this has anything to do with an iphone, or anyway you can compare it to a frikkin iphone.
Not only that, but you forgot the R.
What a failure!
What the hell are you talking about "Looks like a razer" ? Are you blind? Nothing like a razer, neither quality or appearance wise, Unless you count it being "black"
I agree, it doesnt look like a razer at all!
it appears to have a long body like the razer along with side buttons so if by "looks a lot like a Razer" they meant looks a bit like a razer then I agree otherwise I'm with you guys
Razer's are featureless, but curvy, this has wings and all sorts of stupid styling touches... Nothing like it (Diamondback owner)
Not only does it look nothing like a Razer, but as usual NZXT has manages to make another product just as ugly as it's cases.
Not all NZXT cases are ugly, look at the LEXA range
It's actually somewhat similar to my Logitech G5, I do like the all black though!
I can hear the advertisments for the iPhone cluster now
upon first glace at the read link it seemed as if i was starring at a shoebox they could have gone with a cooler design for the box
Did anyone read the review? They barely speak English. "To his name more profitable to market, the Californian manufacturer NZXT decided to his bid to fan wider."
Maybe you failed to notice that the link is actually an automatic translator?
Of course they barely speak English since the page is in GERMAN.
That's because it is Google-translated from German.
That's because it's Google-translated from German.
And yet you didn't notice the missing R when you yourself wrote the comment. What a fucking retard. Get the fuck off the internet, n00b.
Looks more like most Logitech mice I've ever used. their mid- to high-end ones
NZXT's cases are neither lavish or stylish. Most of them are just steel boxes with ugly looking thick plastic slapped all over it. They are tasteless. And so is this mouse, WTF is with the flared back?
But can it airbend?
haha, avatar... made me laugh.. just a bit
But can you shut up?
I disagree with the comment about NZXT case style, owning two myself I think they're tasteful, if perhaps conservative with their build quality. This mouse just looks uninspired and drab though, not to mention I need something absolutely durable for a mouse. NZXT stuff is all well and good, but they make too many stupid design decisions to be worth considering for such a vital piece of gaming apparatus.
Hey Sam, whats up?
HOW DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?
The iPhone can NOT deliver the same caliber of games available on the PSP. How the hell with you control those games? on a Silly little touch screen? Something tells me you've never had a jailbroken iPhone before.
It was HELL trying to run PSX games on the thing. It's not easy to control even SNES games with the iPhone touchscreen. Try playing Megaman X on it.
Ignore me. I'm a retard. I thought this was the touchscreen PSP post.
I've got me a Razer and I love it. 4000 DPI. 3000 DPI seems slow xD
Well it helps that I have a 22" screen, otherwise it wouldn't feel quite so normal. Anyway I don't have any complaints about it, really comfortable mouse.
It looks more like A4 Tech X7 series, look at placement of 4-th and 5-th buttons they are in same place as in X7, also it seems to have a DPI switcher, maybe even it switches in 2 ways. The X7 series is already selling for ex. as a MSI mouse in addition to their gaming notebooks. But the only difference is the color - red. Here it looks like hole look is different.
so you are obviously happy about a "Fist"?
@matt,
normally i'm terrified of fists
FFFFFAAAAAAAIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL
Looks grip part looks a bit like like the Logitech Revolution…
Victim of tabbed browsing eh.
Trying to cash in on the batman franchise without mentioning batman I reckon.
One idea thought: rename it "the dark avatar".
It comes in a shoe box?
The best mouse is the A4 Tech X7 with 6-DPI-Shift, 2500DPI, w/ 3xFire Button, illuminated scroll wheel with colors for each dpi setting.
Due to the age we are living in I now have nothing but mice with DPI switches for upto 2000, and no matter what game I play I find never ever use them.
I wonder if that's just me.
It should have been called the Bat Mouse. I could see it on batman's utility belt.
Guess Engadget refuses to link to a proper english review. There has been a page that has had the review up sind friday. Google it guys, you should find it. Not sure if I may post direct links here.
People link to stuff all the time.
