Damn, is this thing ever ****ing ugly, seriously, if they actually mange to sell any of these I'd be amazed, the text of the quote is taken right from the press release:

Yeah, cyborgs aren't meant to be pretty :) I might have a look at one. If the side buttons are easier to use than those on my Razor I might get one. One reservation is regarding the batteries. I hate it when wireless mice die gradually as the batteries drain, eventually resulting in a *sticky mouse* before it stops responding all together.

with all those mechanisms for adjustments, wouldnt that really add to the weight? unless like theyre all made of titanium or whatever...
