Mionix Saiph 3200

[Revolver]

This mouse got an 87% scorein my magazine and since it oly £40 i thought it was well worth a purchase. Anyone know anything about it before i take the plunge?

Thanks for tha informative reply mate.

Never heard of it either. I would be inclined to stick with a known brand.

Sparksy went off and bought a Saitek mouse as it got good reviews but the brand was unknown, first one he got was broken, replacement was shit.

Not convinced...the thumb bit looks more wrinkly than a testicle.

My desk surface has been non too great recently for tracking so i bought a steelseries qck mouse pad yesterday that should be here this week. So will be nice to try my Razer out with the pad before i order a new mouse.

I'm a bit wary of getting another Razer though. The one i have was a freebie but when i look at razers they always look overpriced and nothing too special. £40-£50 for Lachesis, £108 (!) for mamba.

Seems to be so many god damn mice around these days can never see what to get.

I have the Lachesis and hate it, but my G7 batteries don't last much more than 2 hours anymore and the feet are pretty much non existent.

I got the Steelseries mousemat, big black one with a slight textured surface which came free with my Logitech MX518 and is still going strong, but I can't help but get the feeling that it isn't helping the mouse feet as I would say it is more abrasive than say a flat smooth surface.

My next mouse will be a Logitech or Microsoft. Razers are overpriced and don't work as well as it should, I have many problems with mine even moving when I boot up and random pauses and has done it on XP, Vista and 7 on 2 different PCs.

Well i really dont mind my diamondback 3g, was weird as hell to get used to since i went straight from a ball mouse haha.

I'm really tempted with this Mionix Saiph thing, its been receiving a lot of love in most reviews, just one bloke said the middle mouse seems a bit flimsy but cant be any worse than what the Roccat Kone is like, that gets slated everywhere about that. £50+ mouse that breaks after 2 months.

id say waste of time rev... click on the logitech gaming mouse link on the thetop and get that... they do a 2000 dpi one i think.. way fast enough, very sturdy
2 buttons on the left hand side.. good to assign one for vent or game mic/ other for crouching.. not that i ever crouch really.

if your gonna get an expensive one you may as well get the razorback.. or blade or whatever... skell was right the siatek one looked and fely great but kept failing... gaming mouse that didnt fire ..great.... im still using the logitec one .. about 3 years old now..... ftw
