Many of those Looser Manufactures just don't know how to combine effeciency and comfort. This mouse is another example from nobrainers and just a big disappointment for mouseconstructions in 2014.<br><br>

I mean what do we really need from an ambidextrous mouse?<br><br>

We need it simple and effective with enough comfort in a welcome size.<br><br>

is that so hard to accomplish that those losers need to fail every freaking time?<br><br>

Is it so hard to bring out the ultimate modern Intelli Mouse Optical 1.1 Copy in two different Sizes like Zowie did with their EC evo Series to please a wide base of customers?<br><br>

No Respekt for them, they only wasting my time and nerves.</div>

I think the main problem is that gimmicks sell better than actual quality. Gimmicks are things that they can show off and put on the box. Like holes for ventilation, crappy adjustable weight systems, 10.000 DPI and adjustable lighting ("over 100.000 colors possible!" ). It is much harder to communicate to the general audience that a mouse looks simple and plain because the focus of the design is on functionality, and that the sensor does not suffer from many of the problems you see in a lot of other mice (acceleration, prediction and other things the average consumer knows nothing about)<br><br>

Someone posted a video on the board where someone working for Mionix was talking about the differences between the different sensors. They seem to be very aware of the issues the sensors have, yet still 95% of their line up are laser mice with these sensors. Why would they do this when they know they are making a technically inferior product? The only answer I can come up with is because it sells.<br><br>

Though I think that things are starting to change a little bit. There are brands who seem pretty dedicated to making not frills peripherals that simply work, and even big brands who traditionally always just made the most elaborate feature-rich mouse that they could, now also seem to intentionally put mice in their line-up that caters to those players that are more interested in performance than anything else. It is no coincidence that I used the WMO for what feels like forever, but only recently there have been mice where I feel like I could switch and be happy with the combination of shape, weight and performance. Only a few years back there were not nearly as many good options as there are now.
