    Thanks Cha, I saw that at amazon but that's a bit out of my budget :( I just fork out a new m11x so I'm trying to find something a bit cheaper =\ hopefully someone would have something else otherwise I guess I'll have to go with amazon's deal

    Amazon's price is the lowest I've seen. I got mine from there as well.

    I think you'll find it's well worth the price...at least, I did. The portability of a Bluetooth mobile mouse with the performance of a high-end gaming desktop mouse is quite impressive.

    lol i gave up and ordered it from amazon with amazon prime :). I had a 25$ gift from best buy but their price is ridiculously high for 79.99 + 6 shipping + tax = 90 - 25$ GC = 65$ so i'd figure i'd use that GC for something else since i can only save 5$ using it compared to amazon's price. Thanks for quick reply :D

    before you pull the trigger, 4000 DPI is when you use wired and if you are using bluetooth it's only 2000 DPI as what I've read in most review and from some users on here.

    IMO I thought it would be great regardless because the fact that I can do both wired or wireless :) other mice are for 50$ but you don't get to choose wire/wireless

    If you intend to primarily use this mouse in one place, like a desk, then the Imperator would probably be better, or another full-size mouse like the DeathAdder. The Orochi really excels when it comes to portability.

    I bought my Orochi on eBay for $60 and use it strictly via bluetooth. My desktop gets the DeathAdder, which I also love.

    The Orochi has 7 buttons total, including two pinkie buttons on the opposite side from the thumb buttons. Maybe the Naga would suit you better with its 12 thumb buttons. :p

    But yeah, you're generally not going to see more than 2 thumb buttons on any mouse. Plenty of mice have more buttons, but located elsewhere.

    Yeah, it is Orochi, just bought from Fry's today. I like this mouse, although the packaging is excessive :eek: . Now I wish I would have got the BT option on the M11x :rolleyes: gonna have to get a dongle now.
