FALCON!!!! Happy to see you do a video. I also agree with what you said in the video about how there is no one perfect mouse for everyone since everyone is different with their preferences and uses. I'm also working on a similar video, mainly focused for FPS games though. Be sure to keep the videos coming guys! I know you guys will be a monster channel if you do.

excellent guide with a good selection of background music. I could listen to this in a podcast!

i just picked up a trackball mouse for things that are not gaming. it's really comfy after using a steelseries rival for half a year. i recommend using more than one mouse.

I've tried so many different kinds of mice and while razer makes nice products they don't last long, at all. Using the mionix naos 7000 and thoroughly pleased

I have a use a grip that you did not show. I use my right hand, with my thumb on the left side of my mouse, and my ring finger off the right (both on the side walls). My Index and middle finger resemble what you showed, however, the base of the two fingers rests at the back of the mouse, and the entirety of both fingers rests on the mouse, following the curve to the front. My fingertips just so happen to be centered on the left and right-click buttons

Logitech G400s has been excellent for me. Yet to find an issue with it, had it since the (s) series was released as well.

Finding the right mouse is a nightmare on its own. Now imagine being left handed... If any fellow sufferer reads this, try the SteelSeries Sensei, it works quite well :)

I had the annoying "double click"-bug with all my Razer-mice.
Atm it comes and goes on my Deathadder for some reason and therefore I haven't opened the mouse to fix it.
Also I have to say that with my pretty large hands I cannot really have the "palm grip" with my deathadder either, which normal should be the case (I guess).
But well...

3:38 Mice are like shoes... they dont fit everybody, you need to be thoughtful... and some people can get *VERY* sensitive when it comes to it

[opssheesh]

Are all mice that have software shipping with them compatible with linux?

[comandershrapnel]

No MMO mice in this coverage? 
Such as the Logitech G600?

Also can you do some build guides for ITX PCs?
