Probably. I have a bad habit of not transferring numbers. :(

Standing outside East Croydon station and yelling really loudly probably has a better chance of working.

Indeed, the card they left was a DPD card.

Was it anything fun, or was it a bill?

New mouse.

Are you happy with it?

Are you left handed? Not that it'd particularly matter with an ambidextrous design like that. I've been looking for a good (but not wildly priced) left handed mouse for a while. That looks nice n' balanced with a sensible amount of clickable bits.

As Ken said, let us know what it's like.

I use a rather similar-looking Steelseries Sensei which can sometimes be had for cheap. I used to like MS Intellimouse Explorers but they kept breaking down after a couple of years. Hopefully this one lasts longer, it's certainly nice and well reviewed.

What milko said – SteelSeries do various mice in that shape. My ladyfriend has a Kinzu V2, which seems nice if you have small hands. It's a bit flat and small for my liking; the Sensei is better for that, but I didn't really get on with mine very well because I found the thumb buttons far too easy to press accidentally. Mind you I have fat thumbs, so perhaps it won't bother you.

Cheers both, I remember now reading a good sensei review, I like their unfussy style.

I could do with trying one out somewhere to see how it fits my hand as I'm somewhere between a claw and palm grip. I don't get on with tiny mice either.

I think PC world of all places had some steelseries in, you could maybe get a quick hold.

(YJ)?

Possibly. He does live on the posh side of London so who knows what services his local pc world offer. Perhaps a little gentle cupping. Maybe a little nuzzle.

He's probably a regular customer

I might be tempted to visit PC World if they offered services like that down here.

(nod) I'll check out our local PC world one lunchtime. You have to have a fondle before making a decision.

Very much YJ, but the PC World I tend to go to is in Slough, very much not posh. Actually, the one nearest my house is a scuzzy bit next to the M4 as well! I send the butler.

I've got some car parts coming with APC Overnight. Their online tracking has 3 entries so far:

Entry one: Yesterday, booked by [person sending package]
Entry two: Yesterday, recieved at Depot in [place it's being sent from]
Entry three: This afternoon, carded (no access).

Mother fuckers. I checked at about 11 this morning and there was only the first two entries, so I figured it wouldn't come today and did some other stuff while I was out. If I'd come home I'd have been in.

So glad I paid to upgrade to next-day delivery :|

Ken: Yes!

Graphitone: I'm not left handed but yeah it's completely symmetrical. I'm very happy with it. It is very much a gaming mouse: not a bullshit gaming mouse with loads of buttons, weights, LCD screens, bits that glow and removable bits, made for idiots, but a proper gaming mouse. Which means a very good sensor, very good buttons and no hardware interpolation at all (no smoothing, acceleration or angle snapping at a hardware level) and high polling rate. It's also extremely light. So it feels very exact, even twitchy compared to other mice.

If you want something like that then it's currently the best, along with recent Razer Deathadders.

I'd avoid Steelseries. They're marketed as gaming mice but the hardware isn't really that good and they also have smoothing/acceleration.

If gaming isn't your main priority and/or you want a more desktoppy mouse then I'd go with the Logitech g400 which is very good (not ambidextrous though, I dunno if they do a left-handed model).

Edit: Also while the FK1 is designed for a claw grip it's comfortable when palmed too (I claw when playing games/working and tend to palm when doing idle desktop stuff. I have big hands too).

 

Let this be your guide.

(It's 2013 but nothing of note has changed except the FK1 has replaced the FK)

Cheers boss. The FKs do look the business. What's the lift off distance I've been reading about in reviews? Is that what I think it is, the height you can lift the mouse of a surface and still have the cursor respond?

Are you a mouse mat user? Any worth in those gaming teflon type mats?
 

Interesting. I've literally never noticed the hardware interpolation whatnot on mine. Which is not to say it isn't there, I just haven't seen it do anything. It does have a light up bit which I could fuck about with if I installed their software which I dont. I just hope the buttons don't break like my old MS ones always did, if they do I'll look at your fancy pants £50 mouse next.
