I wanted to try one of these for quite a long time - I tried to find every angle of every picture of it, even ventured in to Best Buy (!!!) to take a look and go hands-on. I had done some research, read up on my consumer reviews, and thought I had a pretty good idea of what to expect. Best Buy had one in stock locally, so I was mere minutes away from gaming mouse bliss. When I arrived, I quickly scanned the boxes in the (shrinking) PC section - and there it was! Actually, it was more of a...oh. There it is. I guess. Thankfully, I hope the trend of placing mice in formed plastic packaging sticks around, because it makes it much easier to "try" a mouse before putting down some cash. I tried it. I walked away.

What?!? What was I doing! Turning down my chance!? But what of the GAMING BLISS!?! (Oh, won't someone think of the BLISS!) Truth be told, I wasn't sold. Seeing it in person, it just looked...normal. I blame Razer and their extravagant, almost over the top packaging. I suppose it didn't help that the price tag was NOT what was displayed online, but I didn't care enough to ask about it - my dreams were already smashed.

Okay, so I wasn't that upset about it, I may have dressed that up a bit. Normally, I AM excited to try out a new mouse, so it was strange to just...walk away. That is very unlikely behavior for me when it comes to high quality mice. I personally maintain that a quality mouse will absolutely change your computing experience. It may sum up my experiences with this mouse though - it's just too easy to walk away from.
