for those of you looking for a new mouse and were disappointed by the aurora -

pretty solid mouse, no issues so far and I've been playing with it for a couple weeks now. 20in/360 with an artisan hayate and haven't had any skipping or anything like that.

* only thing is it's 500hz but they're in the process of releasing a firmware update for 1000

esr thread is less than satisfied: http://www.esreality.com/post/2696824/finalmouse-2015-74g-and-3310/

overclock.net thread is huge: http://www.overclock.net/t/1531877/finalmouse-2015

this review is pretty comprehensive: http://www.back2gaming.com/reviews/b2g-hardware/peripherals-review/finalmouse-2015-gaming-mouse-review/

redditers or something: http://www.reddit.com/r/MouseReview/comments/2utjuu/opinions_on_finalmouse/

buy: http://www.amazon.com/FinalMouse-2015/dp/B00MX8QSLW/

I was deciding between this and the logitech g303 if anyone gets that lemme know how it is

I used the g302 and it was pretty decent

sensor's good, lmb/rmb switches are good, extremely light

Its really small so you can only really claw it if you have regular sized hands

Not sure what the differences are between g302 and g303

seems to be a lot of qc issues in that overclock thread, i think i'll personally stay away until they get that resolved.

What made the Ninox so great was its price, if you're going to get this mouse you might aswell get a zowie ec evo. Zowie has experience in creating gaming gear for pros. This sounds like a bunch of dudes who took a mouse, put a nice sensor and buttons on it and sold it for a crazy price. Coating looks like shit, quality probs not great either.also http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MTK84U2

But at the end of the day its a quality sensor with quality buttons in a not so great casing, better than most shit out there.

ninox was aids, this will be too, also if you want to get an EC get the new EC-A not the eVo

The finalmouse is a solid mouse when looking at weight, shape and sensor performance. The most outstanding issue would be QC (I ordered one simply to experiment and there was actual scratching and some tiny bits of debris within the box for example). The build quality is also quite poor, though it doesn't much hinder performance in many respects. If it's a mouse which fits criteria you've been searching for then I encourage you to purchase it, finding a suitable mouse with good performance can be difficult. However, it's an absolute joke how overpriced the Finalmouse is when considering it can't get much easier for a manufacturer (you could purchase this OEM shell yourself, there's very very little R&D costs here since basically all they did was take said shell and stick a 3310 in it) and how horrendous they are at providing even basic quality control, which implies further cutting corners and costs while selling their product for $70.

The mouse works, sensor performance is good, but I heavily dissuade anyone from purchasing a Finalmouse if you don't wish to encourage such poor business practices and insane profit margins. Finalmouse did a good thing in specifically listening and going after a desperate market (lightweight, 3310, somewhat small), however I hate to see such a poor precedent set for future endeavors by companies looking to capitalize on neglected portions of the market.

U can literally get a deathadder cheaper than that. How is that even an option.

It looks like a cheap copy of a generic gaming mouse. Wouldn't be surprised it performed like so.

g303 has 2 more mouse skates and more leds

(g100s is better and costs 1/4th thje price)

Braided cords mostly became common practice once some mice companies began pushing them a couple/few years back, associating them with quality and increased endurance of said cords. I'd have to at least imagine the marketing campaign was helped by the cord issues persistent with the Logitech G400 and consumers not quite understanding why their mice began to malfunction/die.

Nowadays braided cords are simply a "premium thing", just like LEDs or included software from certain companies for example. They can help with cord safety. The issue is braided cords can fray (as stated), typically cause additional friction on clothed surfaces, more easily catch on corners in part due to said friction and make the cord stiffer (of note, some manufacturers utilize very stiff rubber cords (Logitech) but most are notably less stiff than your typical braided cable).
