Look at all the pro gamers; they aren't bringing their mouse every where they go, they just save their settings rock in another mouse and are ready for gaming.

- OriginalSyn 14y agoPro gamers are the only people that would do this. No one else, using gaming mice like these, move around enough to locations guaranteed to have their mouse on the premise to justify this sort of behaviour.
- alphang 14y agoHuh. This is an interesting point. It may be a good feature for internet cafes. Maybe that's the market they're trying to target.
- TeMPOraL 14y ago> It may be a good feature for internet cafes. Do those still exist? I remember playing StarCraft a lot with friends in such a place, but this was like... 8 years ago?
- shabble 14y agoIt depends where you are in the world. I believe they're exceptionally popular in some parts of Asia like China and Korea. In places where everyone has a personal computer powerful enough for everything they do with it, and with a tablet/laptop just about every cafe is an internet cafe. Even still, there are niches to fill in such places. Relatively recently (last year I think) a place here opened with exceptionally high performance PCs/net connection, comfortable chairs, etc, which focuses on gaming. Every time I walk past it's packed, so they're doing something right.
- illuminate 14y agoInternet cafes don't let you install your own software and drivers, so no. This is not being marketed to that demographic.
- cweiss 14y agoAre you sure? That seems counter-intuitive. If I were a pro gamer (and were allowed), I'd sure bring the mouse I was most comfortable with.
- corin_ 14y agoCorrect, pro-gamers (and amateur competitors too) will take their mouse to any tournament, and if they forget it they will try to find the same model to use.
- illuminate 14y agoPro-am gamers bring the rest of their PC hardware to the tournament.
- sysm 14y agoYou would bring your own mouse, however when you sit down at a tournament machine you will need to install specific mouse drivers and get it configured. Being able to sit down at any machine and just plugin your mouse/kb and have a familiar setup seems like a great idea to me.
