New Cooler Master / CM Storm mice coming soon?

[Bramster]

Can you guess what it is? (A mouse obviously since I posted it in the Mice section )...

Will tease you guys with other pics and stuff in the coming days/weeks ....

[matt3o]

OMG! Is it a trackball that I'm seeing?!

because if it's a touch-mouse I won't buy the novatouch

naaah I'll buy it anyway

[Findecanor]

Ball mice are getting a comeback?

[matt3o]

yeah! ball mouse!

[ماء]

I hope the trackball ambidextrous...

[Muirium]

I wonder how good it might be for hacking into our own keyboards. Especially if it is symmetric.

[Bramster]

yeah! ball mouse!

lolled at that ... A hint, these (mice) have been shown to the public before and launch day and pre-order are getting close.....

[CeeSA]

Alcor and Mizar?

[matt3o]

oh the small one is cute! but I'm done with wired mouse, luckily I'm not an FPS gamer and I don't need cables at least for the mouse

What you mean? symm sgg i hope novatouch in symm sgg,i think perfect topre on symm sgg
.......unfortunately that impossible

[Muirium]

Well, track balls are naturally symmetric, because they're spheres. But while we were still talking about one, I was thinking aloud about how to integrate it into a custom keyboard. Either at the side or in the middle of a split design.

But they're mice!

It would be nice to get a full-core Gaming Trackball. No one else has ever released one and it would look good for Cooler Master to provide a large ball to play with .

[Kurk]

Hopefully not just a dull, circular mouse pad. I would be *very* surprised if CM announced a trackball.

[Bramster]

Alright time for a second teaser ....... :

[Icarium]

hm...looks like a dressing doll
"Dress this mouse up with your choice of scroll wheel and buttons." ^^

[matt3o]

no those are just designer's tests to look cool

[Bramster]

Design sketches indeed

[matt3o]

I don't see cables

[QWERTim]

Hadn't even seen this post and I asked Bram when they were going to make one! Could be great.

[Elrick]

Design sketches indeed

If you're going to make a 'traditional' style of mouse then PLEASE make one with a huge Scroll Wheel.

Everyone seems to be making smaller and smaller scroll wheels which is so futile to use. We need a BIG wheel here.

[Findecanor]

I don't see any middle mouse button ...

[Muirium]

I'd like a mouse with a giant trackball on top: which is the scroll wheel! (2D scrolling for the win. The one thing Apple's old Mighty Mouse got right. But go with a far larger ball.) And then a mode to reverse positions so you can use the trackball for pointer movement instead.

[davkol]

I can't imagine, under what circumstances it would actually work. Trying to move the trackball would probably move the whole mouse. At least that's my experience from the time, when I lost rubber feet on one of my trackballs.

[Muirium]

True, there's surely a fine balance to strike. The tiny scroll ball on the Mighty Mouse was fine for a single finger (while the body of your hand still holds the mouse) but as a scroller it was just too small.

[Bramster]

I can tell you it is NOT a trackball as you can see from picture 2... However tomorrow there is another picture planned to be released... So stay tuned

Awwwww, c'mon! Why you don't give us a high-precision affordable and easy to find and buy trackball?

I even thought it was one with an integrated wrist rest

[Bramster]

Sorry to dissapoint you Wetto but as you can see from the picture below it is not a Trackball. Time to reveal the names (you might have seen these names pop up before at CES or some other places)

[matt3o]

Bram... sorry but... pictures of those two mice are already all over the internet... not much of a secret...

[Bramster]

I know, haha... But we are getting closer to launch day and we are showing some insight in the design sketches that went into the design of the mice. Just to give some pre-launch exposure and talk

[Findecanor]

What are the up and down arrows for?

BTW. I wish that I could get a good new mouse with a middle mouse button that is not activated by pressing the scroll wheel (and scrolling by mistake each time you want to click).
