Cooler Master has released its new gaming mouse, the CM Storm Recon. Ambidextrous, the mouse is perfect for lefties who often find themselves at the end of the proverbial stick when it comes to such peripherals.

A medium sized mouse, it is just the right size for both palm and claw gripping gamers, and its Avago 3090 optical sensor has a maximum sensitivity of 4,000 DPI. There is a lot of argument between laser and optical sensors. Personally, I always go…

When it comes to buying a mouse people often think “well this is just something my hand will be covering all the time, one is as good as another” and pick up whatever one is on sale or buy on brand recognition alone.  I have to admit, I was guilty of it myself: I have first gen G15 gaming keyboard, an amazing SyncMaster XL2370 monitor, and a hand built computer that has a 50 pound case designed to cool your computer like a car that has never overheated even here in the Nevada desert.  My mouse was $20, normally $25. …
