I would strongly recommend this mouse to most right handed computer users. It has become my mouse of choice, and I have tried many many mice. As a professional ergonomist (but not a gamer), I judge the overall ergonomics benefits of this mouse far far outweigh the negative (especially for gaming) of it being somewhat difficult to lift up for repositioning. The thumb support and 4th finger and pinky support along with it's general contours, sensitivity control and well positioned Back button, put this mouse ahead of all or almost all other mice on the market. I suggest that the mouse be marketed to the broader market (not just gaming market) as an excellent "Ergonomic Mouse," which it is.
Nice support of the gaming community. I'm not sure who develops their drivers and technologies, but I feel like I have more accuracy and the mouse aims exactly where I want it be, and not where the computer thinks I'm aiming at.The grip is made of a great material, and ergonomic layout is perfect.Seems like every LAN and event I go to, SteelSeries is there or donates prizes. Unlike other gaming mice i've owned, the Ikari seems to add all the best features and leaves-out all the annoying ones others like to bundle-in.I finally have the right balance of physical and software controls I've been wanting. that's how I found-out about them. Seems like others never give back, then try to copy SteelSeries' innovations (but fail).
Made in Brazil, another professional gaming team, took second place at Dreamhack just a few weeks ago. As with all PC peripherals, especially mice, a lot comes down personal preference and taste. Reading up on the SteelSeries Ikari Laser on Amazon, revealed one review, where it received a 1/5 rating. Two of the players were using the SteelSeries Ikari Laser.The mouse itself was designed with testing and feedback from professional gamers, including compLexity and Team 3D in the US. It has scored more than 10 (ten) perfect scores from hardware review sites, and a number of other scores in the 9.x/10 range. Which was btw the only only review that reviewer had posted. His team won $50,000 USD. Since they were all FPS gamers, it would naturally result in a mouse that would be (at the very least) suitable for FPS gamers.I took part in the design of the mouse and have early been reading all the reviews and feedback from the market, so it was a little weird seeing such a negative comment.
Especially since it totally goes against everything else I am seeing on the market. All praising the features, the technology and the ergonomics.A list of reviews, with links to the sources, can be found here:[.].Also, the comment about the mouse not being suitable for FPS gaming is off the mark. But it's does seem weird that someone what be so in much disagreement with the rest of the world.Since SteelSeries Ikari Laser was released, it has become one of the highest rated mice on the market. Kapio from the german multi-gaming organization "mousesports" won the Extreme Masters II Counter-Strike tournament at CeBit this year, using the mouse. Hopefully this blurp gives potential users a chance to make an informed decision.
The ergonomics on that side of the mouse doesnt give the grip needed to make u feel secured about picking it up there also. well the mouse is lacking big time. I feel the shape of the mouse should let you forget that its even in your hand, but this mouse is not that. the back of the mouse is too wide and the mouse doesnt have the arc over the thumb that helps with the grip(logitechMx's). the ergonomics of the mouse doesnt provide the stability you need when picking the mouse up and moving quickly to relocate your aim(FPS games). on the other side of it where the ring finger and pinky are, is annoying. should be better off with the logitech g5 mouse for ergonomics.
