Excellent Claw-Grip Gaming Mouse

CM Storm Xornet - 2000 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse with Durable Omron Microswitches
CM Storm Xornet - 2000 DPI Optical Gaming Mouse with Durable Omron Microswitches

Pros: This mouse is an ideal shape and weight for claw-grip gamers. If you are unfamiliar with claw-vs-palm please perform a quick search on Google. The mouse surface is quite grippy, even the areas of the mouse that appear glossy or smooth provide adequate traction. At first I was disappointed that the mouse is so light, I'm used to associated weight with quality. However by design or chance the light weight actually is preferable for reasons of fatigue. I've found a claw grip is pretty easy to get fatigue or aches with. The lighter the mouse the less wrist fatigue.

Cons: - No LEDs? Is it truly a gaming device with no LEDs? I jest. - Some might consider the light weight a con, but see my comments above.

Overall Review: Before you order you should analyse your own grip style and how you prefer to hold a mouse. Personally I rest my arm and wrist on the surface and grip the mouse with my fingertips. I move the mouse with wrist action, no arm movement. The Xornet is designed with this grip style in mind.

Great Modular PSU

Pros: modular, great build quality, QUIET

Cons: Obviously it'd be nice to have even more modularity on cables. If for example I have a need for four SATA power plugs and not 6, for example. But really not a big deal.

Overall Review: Easy cable management.

Excellent Case

Pros: - great cable management - excellent airflow - room to work, but not excessive size-wise - love the rubber feet

Cons: -none

Overall Review: I really loved working with this case. Great airflow options, and also a rigid, solid feel to it.

Mechanics Great - Form....Not So Much

Pros: - accurate - durable - high-end feel

Cons: -slightly uncomfortable (your hand may vary)

Overall Review: In general I like thermaltake products, but this one is just kid of a far-out design. The mechanics are there, excellent laser tracking, solid feel, etc. But the shape of the mouse is just not built for the hand, it's built for the eye.
