Swiftpoint Z on sale.

[lunchalot]

Heads up! Swiftpoint Z is on sale on Amazon.com for 99.00 - although it will be several weeks before they ship. I think they are out of stock. It is ships and sold by amazon not by third party seller. I just made an order for it. I have always wanted to check this mouse out but not for 230.00

This hurts me...great mouse, but no love for lefties :sniff:

How does well does this function with XIM Link? More specifically, how well does the analog tilt movements work?

I bought this mouse but couldn't get on with its ergonomics.

The tilt function works but I found I would trigger it by mistake.

I sent it back. Possibly with perseverance, i may well have grown to like it. But my G502 felt amazing, it was love at first sight, no "getting to know" period. Just how it should be with a good gaming mouse.

Bought this mouse and toyed around with it yesterday. High Quality! It is much lighter than the G502 or the Rival 500. There is only one thing that will take some getting used to; using the knuckle joints to press the buttons. On this mouse there are more buttons to be pressed by fingers rather than the thumb. I will say that the they are much more intuitive than I would have guessed. I don't think it will take more than a few days to get used to it. I will say that the mouse is a bit more square shaped and lacks the ergonomics of the G502. But, overall I think this is going to be a great experience.

Knuckle buttons are easy to get used to. I've assigned them as G and Q, which I've set to grenade and tactical respectively. Problem was only that I sometimes pressed the right one in error when holding down the right mouse button as I've set the deep click to Caps Lock (Hold Breath). I've now solved that by getting used to having my right ring finger knuckle slightly raised to compensate.

Great mouse though. Soooo configurable. I've had it for over a year now and wouldn't swap it for any other mouse.

I naturally do that. I'm not sure why but my middle finger buckles up and over.

I don's see how anything could even rival the ability to configure this mouse. I love the on the fly profile switching and mouse tilting for a modifier key. It is absolutely incredible. I haven't even played around with dual-functioning keys. The fact that you can have an action occur on button press and another (or the same) on release is just mind boggling. Then you throw in the fact that you can have different actions occur based on the % of pressing the button in 3 step increments. It truly is incredible. In my opinion the next model should address ergonomics, however this mouse is not uncomfortable.

Just got the mouse this week. Already love this mouse and already planning to order some backups. I am a hardcore  trackball user and haven't used a mouse in years. This is the mouse that will get me to switch from my trackball. I love how deep the programmable options are. You can make it simple or complicated. This truly is amazing for XIM especially the macros you can create - no need for xim link. I love how I can assign a unique rumble effect for button press that lets me know when I activated certain functions.

I haven't played around with that yet, but I look forward to finding a good reason to use it.
